Be Excellent To Each Other

Elden Ring: Nightreign, surely! Well, if you can stomach online coop games. It’s more Risk of Rain 2 but Elden Ring.

Yeah… but sadly no

Needs the threes from what I sees.

I’ve played around 48 hours of this now, and it is excellent. It has adventuring and map-unlocking like Zelda, it has farming, and gathering like Harvest Moon, it has village building like Animal Crossing, it has party-building like miitopia, it has crafting mini games like Cooking Mama, it has a long storyline but you can abandon that at any time and just go exploring and crafting for a bit. I haven’t progressed the story for a few days now as I’ve been enjoying opening shrines and solving the puzzles in them, and exploring cave systems, mining ores, fighting monsters and chopping down trees.

10/10

And I can join in on controller 2 and help fight or gather stuff or just generally bounce around and point at things.

And I'm a bird. Called Trip.

I'M THE TRIP ADVISOR

I'm really enjoying Crime Boss: Rockay City.

It turns out those actors (see previous page) are licensed. Chuck Norris plays a sheriff in it while people like Michael Madsen and Danny Glover are crime bosses.

It's essentially the Payday games but where they are horribly over-complicated, this is broken down into easy to manage missions. There's some decent stealth but if things do go awry, you can blast your way out. It's quite good fun being in the vault of a bank and having to blast your way out through SWAT teams to get to your van.

It's definitely not triple-A or anything but it's a lot of fun.

Sounds amazing but I'm too scared to get this as it would be a life consumer for me!

Nooooo. I mean I’ve played about 56 hours and have barely scratched the surface, but I’m sure it’s not too much of a life vacuum

Whelk, looks like I'm back into Splatoon 3. It looks incredibly nice with the new update, all super-sharp on the Switch 2 screen and the bigger size is just perfect in tabletop mode - you can now comprehend what's going on! I am reasonable at it, winning 60/40 matches. I also like my jaunty bowler hat in game. New weapons abound, but I'm hilariously terrible at using anything but my tried-and-trusty Aerospray so heigh ho.

The kids got me Nightreign for fatha’s day! So that’s me then.

Just reviewing Soulstone Survivors. Essentially Vampire Survivors with slightly more modern graphics. Quite addictive and enjoyable but full of options (characters, skills, perks etc etc) and it's quite grindy. I like it though. The sort of game you want to play over six months rather than grind so you've got enough experience of it to write a credible review.

Nightreign has properly got its hooks in me now.

First boss done with randoms last night after 4 hours of getting my arse kicked while I got into the swing of things.

Looking forwards to a Mat(t)hew sandwich this week x

HOLY SHIT!!! There’s a Jet Set Radio ‘homage’ free on PS+ sub this month!
