This looks real interesting. I'll definitely keep an eye out for it and see what the reviews say.

You can generally get a deal on the basic ps plus which gets you it for cheaper. They tend to be around Christmas and black Friday in the UK at least. That makes it about the price of one game per year for online which isn't too bad for my budget. I do agree that it's silly to play for access to our own internet but that's what the consoles all do now so unless everyone switches to pc we are stuck with it. I also tend strongly towards patient gaming so the monthly games are often ones I've been waiting to come up for cheap. Little nightmares 2 this month was the only one I was interested in but we've recently had Tunic which was excellent.

I very much enjoyed my play through of this. Had to reload a few scenes after a failed quicktime or something but got an ending I was happy with. I especially enjoyed the main menu ai lady, that was a bit of a mind screw.

Same. I enjoyed a lot of what I played but I don't get on well with metroidvanias. So I only played a couple of hours before I either got lost or died too often to a boss.

People do (and did before the patch) complete then solo. If you paired with an experienced group no reason you shouldn't smash it. Did you have fun? As I think that's what they are aiming for

Pretty sure the Devs have said it's a bit too easy now, remember the first game had 15 difficult settings. Personally I think it's a great step in the right direction to make more of the loadouts viable and make the game more fun, it's a power fantasy after all. It will mean that maybe some groups need to go up a difficult level or two and if you're already storming through on 10 you can try the less optimal builds out while your waiting for the next difficulty levels to come out.

I recently got myself an Anbernic, it's the one which looks like the GBA, see through plastic and all. It's a surprisingly competent little console. It even comes preloaded with a shed load of retro games. I've been enjoying playing games from systems I missed out on growing up.

My family had about 5 of these between us by the time we started getting into lites and 3d versions. I had the original chunky boy and a 3ds. We took them on holiday and played the brain training multiplayer games. Great fun, my parents even got into them for a bit and they said off video games a long time beforehand.

That's true, fairly easily avoided by holding the up or down trigger until you've got a clear line of sight to your target before engaging autopilot.

There's a steam workshop mod which puts a checkpoint in all the temples, this let me beat it, the base game only that is, no challenge runs or secret bullshit, haven't even attempted that.

I do enjoy setting everything on fire and exploding myself though. I played a fair few hours on and off.

I did not know that. I got to the final boss then stopped cuz they kept kicking my ass.
