Plenty went on about it here recently and have heard about it in the past so tried it out. Only played a bit and I get what it's meant to be and for that it plays great. It's basically an interactive novel, massive amount of dialogue the while time but the voice acting, music and ambience is fantastic. I just bought it on Steam so that I have something to play on my macbook when I'm in bed and for that kinda casual laidback game this is perfect.
Ah, I really envy you. Loved the first bunch of hours to bits. What a fecking game.
Both on the old watchlist!
TW3 was the first game I bought on PS4, but I kept on delaying it after starting it a bit. Initially it feels similar to the usual action/adventure RPGs especially for someone who smashed Oblivion/Skyrim for ages - with the same medieval fantasy setting so I kept playing other stuff which felt more innovative. All this while kept hearing how I should absolutely play before anything else.
To be fair I didn't do much else in the game but the story. talk to the squad mates and do there missions. Anything I brushed over. Good length for 2 playthroughs.
Disco Elysium is fantastic. It's nearly all text and voice acting which may bother some, but for me it was a great time as the writing is as good as it gets in gaming.
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is the first thing that springs to mind.
Didn't continue since last time out. Not really playing a lot these days, that 2021 wrap up summary hit me hard.
Also I have ended up with a bunch of good games that I've started and need to continue/finish:
Sekiro
Disco Elysium
The Witcher 3
Cuphead
Looks like their version of Laurence from Bloodborne. Big bastard lit on fire in a closed area.
I didn't even mention stuff like Metal Gear Solid 5 - which I barely remember playing at this point.
That was a disgustingly hard fight for me as well. I really didn't enjoy phase three and eventually it just became incredibly annoying and tedious even reaching that phase. I liked the final DLC boss a lot more.
That's Slave Knight Gael right? I bought DS3 a while back but haven't started yet. Will start soon enough.
Travelling seems difficult at the momentDepending on how soon @harshad can show up and hand over the dope.
. Sometime in Feb most likelyYeah man, I was just posting my backlog above, enough to keep me going.Travelling seems difficult at the moment
What genre does this game fall under?
I thought i was such a badass as I finished the first two phases on my first try and was all smug and grinning and then suddenly: "Oh god, no! there's a third phase!". After getting annihilated there i kept dying on the first and second phases over and over
.I'd call Outer Wilds a game about discovery and exploration. For me, Mobius Digital with these games is doing somethings nobody else is doing really, in gaming. Maybe Subnautica to an extent which I really loved but it's a notch or two below.

One of the best reviewers Skill Up sums it up well - by refusing to tell you much about the game (you have to play this without reading up) and giving both the base game and dlc his GOTY in 2019 and 2021

So I've been playing Shenmue 1 the last couple of days. I've tried to treat it as a game of its time and like it, but... I've tolerated the combat so far but this 70 man battle is where I'm out. I'm sad to say I probably didn't really enjoy anything about the game.
I probably should give this one a go at some stage. It’s been sat in my library for what feels like years but I’ve never really fancied trying to get into it. Feel like it’s at least worth a proper shot though.
Weren't you asking about JRPGs? These aren't that. The Last Guardian is worth a playthrough, though it can be pretty janky. It's also included in the PS Plus Collection so if you're a subscriber you could've had it at no extra cost. Gravity Rush 2 is supposed to be decent, but I've only played the demo so not sure how the full game holds up.I picked up these two on a great discount today

Please tell me I haven't fecked up
Haven't got a PS5.
Oh right I completely forgot the collection is only available on PS5.
The bow is probably the least fun weapon but weirdly the easiest to beat the game with once you power up and figure out the best boons to get, because a lot of the later fights are much easier from range.
I just found the gun easier from range as well as the spear given the lack of charge times. I've only cleared the game with those two so I'm definitely a range player right now. With the Spear I loved it's special as you can backstab as well. Mele weapons like the sword and fists I have yet to get defent with. Right now I'm on a shield run where I've got the Zeus special is slow but seems good.
Gaming Laptops are never great. They need to be big and heavy to get a decent graphics card with some airflow into them. They still wont have enough airflow, will be burning hot running the most basic shit and cost a fortune. You could spend a grand and get nintendo switch like performance on a bulky, heavy laptop.
