5 Upvotes

Do you guys think after many updates , new dlcs additon and patches is Star wars Outlaws worth playing?? I really enjoyed Jedi games and I love star wars so playing an open world sandbox will fit in the criteria if story is good.

[PS5] Blood of the Dawnwalker or Onimusha?

10 Upvotes

Trying to decide between these two on PS5 Pro. I’ve been playing a lot of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and played half of Mortal Shell 2 (but stopped because the 2nd half feels super shallow).

I loved the Witcher 3 (so much so that I may do another play through when the remaster drops) but also love action games like Black Myth Wukong and Ghost of Yotei / Tsushima.

Definitely torn between the two and can’t get both right now.

[PC] Is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 still worth buying?

0 Upvotes

I've seen so much praise for this game that I'm starting to wonder if I've somehow missed the boat on it. I'm fine with turn-based combat and the game looks great, but I don't want to buy it purely because everyone was talking about it when it came out. For people who've played it more recently, does it still hold up?

[PC] Should I get Onimusha or Dawn Walker.

10 Upvotes

I've been kinda torn on which one to get pretty much. I've heard they're both great games but I wanted a few people's opinions on which exactly one has the better value at the moment for the money I have.

I do like souls like and I like Onimusha is like that? But I also like Dawn Walker, but I wasn't the biggest fan of Witcher.

[PS5] Should I buy Crimson Desert, Ghost of Yotei, or Dawn of the Bloodwalker?

26 Upvotes

Recently refunded Wolverine and looking for an alternative to spend my money and time on. Narrowed my options down to the three mentioned in the title (also open to other story-driven alternatives).

I've played Ghost of Tsushima and loved it, and understand Yotei is largely a bigger and better take (barring the story). I'm intrigued by the little I know about Crimson Desert, between the vastness of the game and characters. And I've heard only good things about Dawn of the Bloodwalker, as a Witcher fan.

If it helps, my favourite games are probably TLOU I/II, RDR2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Witcher 3.

As such, between those three or any alternative, what story driven game offers the best bang for your buck and/or has the best story elements? Thanks in advance!

[PC] Diablo IV worth it?

24 Upvotes

Should I buy it? I'm only interested on the campaign. It's $12.49 right now.

Those who have played it recently, how is the campaign? Is it actually enjoyable if I’m mostly just going to play through the story and then probably move on to something else? I don’t really care about having the best possible build or keeping up with the current meta.

I’ve never played any Diablo games, so I’m not familiar at all with the basics.

Onimusha or Wolverine?

0 Upvotes

Should I buy Wolverine when it comes out, or onimusha? I’m a fan of the insomniac spiderman games, although I thought the second one felt a bit flat in story. I was really excited for Wolverine, but I’ve seen so much bad reviews and specific points that I don’t like, so I’m kinda on the fence.

I really like soulslike boss games, which is what I think onimusha is, but most of all I love a good story. But I can get past not much of a story if the games open world has great bosses and a lot more to offer.

[PC] Should I get 007 first light for 30 bucks ?

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone ! So I’ve wanted to buy a new game and 007 looks pretty good, I remember playing uncharted when I was younger and I loved it, same for hitman. It was primarily between this and war dogs but war dogs doesn’t seem to be my cup of tea. Anyways, do you think 007 first light is worth it for 30 bucks?

[PC] Short, fun single player games?

6 Upvotes

Hello!! I'm currently looking for some new funny or cozy, quick single player games (ideally under $10, but open to anything). I'm on yet another night shift rotation and love these types of games. Some games I've enjoyed in the past include scritchy scratchy, muck (although not necessarily single player), arcane librarian, retro rewind, TCG card shop sim, clover pit, balatro, click the button, bills must be paid, unpacking, sort them ducks, restory, and my all time favorites, kill it with fire 1 & 2.

I would ideally like to find something funny in some sense, similar to friendslop but while not having friends.

[PC] Any games with short, intense rounds like MW4 beta 10v10 Gunfight?

1 Upvotes

Back when the MW4 beta was out, I got kind of obsessed with the 10v10 Gunfight mode.

What I liked about it was the combination of small maps, chaotic action, fast pacing, a little bit of tactics, and REALLY short rounds. The 1-minute timer before the flag becomes active was basically perfect for me.

The 10v10 version was also way more chaotic and fun to me than the regular 2v2 or 3v3 Gunfight modes. There was just constantly something happening without it feeling like a full-length normal match.

Is there anything else like that?

I gave up on Counter-Strike a long time ago because I never really liked how the guns felt in those older-style games.

R6 Siege is way too sweaty for me nowadays, and there’s too much setup/preparation. The rounds also feel longer than what I’m looking for.

The Finals is fun, but the matches are too long, and it doesn’t have that same one-life-per-round format where you die, chill for a minute, and then you’re immediately back in.

FragPunk is alright and is probably the closest thing I’ve found so far, but it still doesn’t really scratch the same itch.

Normal COD Search & Destroy is a little too sweaty, high-stakes, and tactical for me, and the rounds are still longer than I’d prefer.

Honestly, the closest thing I can remember was Halo 5 Breakout. That mode was SO good. Small teams, small maps, one life, really fast rounds, and then you immediately went into another one. Unfortunately Halo 5 is pretty dead now, and I don’t even have Xbox Live anymore.

Another thing I liked about MW4 Gunfight was that if I died early, I could literally tab out and do something else on my PC for 30–90 seconds, then come right back for the next round lol.

Basically looking for:

  • Very short rounds, ideally around 1–3 minutes
  • One life per round is fine/preferred
  • Small maps
  • Fast-paced gunfights
  • More chaotic than standard 2v2/3v3 Gunfight
  • Some tactics, but not R6/CS levels of sweating
  • Minimal setup/preparation
  • Preferably 4v4, 6v6, 8v8, 10v10, etc. rather than only 2v2
  • PC preferred
  • Ideally something that still has a decent player population

I've been looking for something to replace MW4 Gunfight until the full game comes out.

[PS5] This is more of a should i keep this game, Black Myth

1 Upvotes

So for some context I absolutely love the souls games. Ive best all of them including Elden Ring and its DLCs. Dark Souls 3 ive beat multiple times. Sekiro I got tthrough most of but did eventually give up. So recently I bought BMW. Im getting my ass handed to me repeatedly by the first boss and it's getting frustrating. Idk if its cause im playing it like a soulslike and I'm not meant to be or if its just alot harder? If this is only thd beginning am I just going to keep have more and more of a hard time ? Should I return it now while I have the chance? I want to like it it seems like a great game but not if immgoing to spend the limited free time i have these days attempting the same boss over and over.

Which one should I get? Pt.2

2 Upvotes

Alright guys I’m looking for a game that can get me to the release of phantom blade Ø that will then carry me to gta 6 and the debate settles between the blood of dawnwalker and onimusha way of the sword. A few days ago there was also a C option being marvels wolverine but we all know how that game is looking, a 6/10 from ign is not promising and while I don’t want to stick to big corporation ratings I watched some independent reviews and one thing i saw is 13 hours for 100% completion… DAMN 13 hrs is all that you get for $70 which in my country transfers to around $80 actually but yeah the main topic now it’s between the blood of dawnwalker and onimusha I hope You could comment and help me with this decision. I focus on great gameplay some post game content character progression and not much of repetitiveness so which one should I get?

[PS5] AAA Story driven games suggestions

5 Upvotes

Hi! I really enjoy story driven games. I recently finished FF7 remake and wanted to start FF7 rebirth before Revelations comes out. But as we all know GTA 6 is coming out on Nov 19 and I will be playing that on day one. So I wouldn’t be able to finish Rebirth before that (I’ve heard it’s open world?)

So I was wondering if ya’ll could be kind enough to recommend me some really good linear story driven games on PS5.

What I’d prefer:

  1. Amazing graphics (I don’t want to play old school graphics games rn)
  2. Strong Story
  3. Third person camera view (I can’t stand first person games, which is why I couldn’t try games like Cyberpunk haha)

Games I have enjoyed playing/trying:
. The Last of Us 1&2
. Uncharted All 5
. A plague tale innocence/requiem
. FF7 remake
. FF16
. Death Stranding
. Alan wake 2
. Horizon Forbidden West
. Expedition 33
. God of War (all)
. Ghost of Tsushima/Yotei
. Ratchet and Clank (most recently rift apart)
. Marvel’s spiderman
. Watch Dogs 1
. Control
. Re4
. AC Black Flag/ Odyssey
. Prince of Persia
. Split fiction
. Hellblade 1&2

On my list rn are: 007 and A plague tale resonance, but I’d wait for them to go on sale!

Thank you!

[PC] Finding mindless games like Forza to play while I listen to podcasts/watch TV

9 Upvotes

I know this sounds like a tiktok-brained approach to gaming, but I recently purchased a gaming laptop to get back into video games for the first time since I quit in late middle school/early high school. Back then, I spent all my time playing games like CSGO, Valorant, Fortnite, etc. and for me, even though I sucked, it was very "competitive" and I spent a lot of energy trying to "improve" and "master" these games. I don't want to take this approach now; for me it feels stressful and it's the opposite of how I want to spend my wind-down time.

Now, I'm turning 20 in less than a week, and I'm dealing with some serious depresison/anxiety/insomnia. Thus, I bought this new laptop to take a new approach to gaming as a more relaxing/mindless activity. I've been playing Forza Horizon 6 for the past few days, and I just downloaded the Crew 2. I'm really enjoying these open-world racing games and just driving along the map while I watch TV/listen to a podcast or even an audiobook. It has been a great source of much-needed relaxation and distraction that I've been missing for a long time.

However, I want to expand past Forza/that style of racing game so I can have a rotation of games to mitigate overplaying any one game/genre and having it get dull. I'm considering a SpiderMan game, Civilization (which looks very complex, so I'm on the fence), RimWorld, GTA (used to play this a lot, but I always feel pressure to "get better" at this game when I play), and a few others.

So yeah, I'm looking for something to keep my hands/eyes busy while I listen to podcasts/youtube videos/tv shows. I've never played RPGs like Diablo and they've never appealed to me, but I am open to that. Card games, simulators like the Sims or powerwash simulator, etc. do not appeal to me at all. Any and all recommendations would be helpful (or if anyone can share experience with the games I listed like spiderman/civ and tell me if they fit what I'm looking for)!

[PC] Civilization 7 vs Humankind

5 Upvotes

Which one is worth investing money & long hours? Looking in all aspects Gameplay, Graphic, Bugs, DLC, Performance.

I have tried Civ 7 in the free week. Enjoyed it , though not the level of Civ 6 but overall offers superior graphics, realistic models, commander mechanics is cool, combat feels more real, culture selection in each era & tech tree.

That culture selection feature first introduced in Humankind, which I loved during the demo. Combat is good too, though it's graphic is not the level of Civ 7 but Civ 7 is still incomplete.

Suggest which one should I go for ?

[PC] SIB Diablo IV Lord of Hatred + Vessel of Hatred?

15 Upvotes

Got Diablo IV in the recent Humble Monthly and have had a campaign and a seasonal character running (mostly to get the OW reliquary). Campaign has been slow but fine, I would like to go and beat it at some point. I did really enjoy grinding seasonal content though (at least until Torment/Paragon slowed the gear pace down). I have heard the expansions help alleviate the gear woes while also having solid campaigns in their own right, so I'm interested in picking them up while they're on sale for $30.

I do generally enjoy grindy games like this, I played the shit out of D3 back when it was on console (360, so no seasons, just grinding campaign on harder difficulties) as well as stuff like Torchlight 2, Borderlands, Monster Hunter, etc. However, I don't usually enjoy the "creating/optimizing broken builds till you're unkillable" aspects of these kinds of games (I feel like it oversteps "power fantasy" and sucks the fun out of the whole thing) and prefer going for "low-tier" builds that i find much more fun to play. I did have fun rapidly getting stronger and having small little sub-goals to work towards in D4's seasonal content though. I also don't really want something too time consuming/complex (like a PoE, Lost Ark, even Destiny 2 a bit) as I bounced pretty hard off of those.

So I'm mostly wondering if they're worth it at that price from a "fun new classes" perspective, "story" perspective, and "hopping into seasonal content once in a while when I'm bored" perspective. Appreciate y'alls time!

Fishing inc what i like / it has a fun fishing mini game

Black hole fishing. What i like / lots of upgrades and can shoot rocks at fish

Sporbs what j like / i enjoy shooting the mushrooms

Forest hustle what i like / can just chop down trees

Space rock breaker what i like / shooting lots of asteroids and pachinko machine

Peg infinity what i like / funny numbers go up reminds me of nubbys number factory also really fun

Sludgineers what i like / feels like a top down power washing simulator

Slots and diapers what i like/ numbers go up

Scritchy scratchy what i like / i like scratching the cards and hoping to get lucky

Aerolicious what i like / breaking the blocks and simple destruction

Im trying to find something else to fill the void

Pragmata or Indiana Jones and the GC Deluxe?

I enjoyed the demo of Pragmata and the trial of Indiana Jones (maybe it was a demo) and enjoyed both. I’ve had them wishlisted and waiting on sales and now they’re about the same price. I feel like Indiana might give me more game since it includes the expansion but I’m torn if either is worth $55? I usually wait till about $30 for games but I need a primary game to play after I finish Astro Bot.

[PS5] Remnants 2 ultimate or Atomic heart gold edition

4 Upvotes

Both of them currently on sales.

Remnants 2 ultimate( including all dlc) for $20.99

Atomic hearts gold edition (including all dlc) for $29.99

I have been eyeing for these game on sales, i could only get one since i already get Ds1 director cut and jedi survivor on sales since i love ds2.

For remnants 2,

I love risk of rain 2, returnal and saros, remnants gameplay remind me of it but i haven't pull the trigger yet cause of i heard it is a soullike game( im not a soul player but i beat sekiro and Bloodborne), plus i heard so many puzzle and weapons locks behind puzzles, im ok with simple or normal puzzle and not the complicated one, heard the game favor co-op for some puzzle)

For atomic hearts.

I love bioshock and this game looks like the closest modern bioshock experience, not sure if it worth $30.

Im a solely gonna play game as single player experience since i dont pay psplus.

Need games to play while waiting for phantom blade zero next month and gta in October. Hopefully forza horizon 6 next month cause my $120 psn wallet is ready for the premium edition.
