Really got into Stranger of Paradise last night, fun game.... feels very like Nioh but with the Final Fantasy stuff wrapped around it.

Would recommend to anyone into FF or Nioh style games to pick it up under 30 euro / dollars.

Completed and platinumed Forspoken. Enjoyed it for what it is. Would give it a 7/10 (similarly to how I'd rate Days Gone).

I've installed Hogwarts now, but I'm not going to start it until I'm back from vacation. The next 2 days (until the vacation starts), I will try to finish Kirby on Switch (stopped playing since Forspoken arrived), if I manage to play at all.

Where it’s at.
I inexplicably decided to see if there was anything left undone in Digimon Story: Cybersleuth, and was reminded quickly of just how convoluted, bizarre and grindy the whole evolution system in that game is.

It is now back in the drawer for another few years.

Currently playing through Atomic Heart. Very interesting visually, but the gunplay feels loose so far. Dialogue is also pretty goofy.

Also trying to decide whether I should get Yakuza Isshin or Fatal Frame 4.

Beat Cris Tales, probably not gonna plat it. 6/10. Decent for a turn based rpg, but way too easy.

Finished God of war, still have some Trials and berserker and lots of picking up stuff left to do, to be honest, i am not sure if i want to complete the rest of the stuff, i actually felt really exhausted after finishing the main story,

I think I have logged in 54 hours, I tried logging in today but my heart is just not in the game atm, I think i need a few days to rest from it all, I still have the trials to do, 6 berserker bosses to complete, i really do like those fights, i also have lots of other finding bits and pieces to complete like horns, apples, a stag and one of those escaped lizards.

There are also a couple of places that i can't seem to access, using that day night cycle thing, i might have to use a guide to try and find the path in a few locations, there must be something obvious i am missing.

Imo the game has a staggering amount of content, sometimes I think a little too much.

Where it’s at.
I spent my gaming time this weekend playing Biomutant, and I am really kind of frustrated with it.

The crafting system straight-up sucks. What is the point in giving me weapon parts if you’re going to then require resources to actually make any changes to my weapons?

Completed the story campaign for Hogwarts Legacy yesterday. 72% completion for the challenges.

Visuals - 10/10
Audio - 9.0/10
Gameplay/Combat - 8.5/10
Story/Characters - 8.5/10
Overall - 9.0/10

Excellent game. Really enjoyed it and while it's a Ubisoft type open world game, something about the world, characters and story just felt refreshing. Great combat overall but a few issues. There shouldn't be an manual aiming and instead had more sets for your spells. But that's something for he sequel. Stealth quests were horrible. I hate forced stealth quests and instant fail just makes it worse. Still have some cleanup stuff to do at some point but with around 60 hours of play time, im done until if/when DLC gets announced for the game.

Now just waiting on reviews for Scars Above which releases tomorrow.
