It is indeed. I'll give NAH a look though, cheers.

I did also pick up Baba is You, Steamworld Dig 2 and FutureGrind in sales recently so no shortage of stuff to get on with.

Be prepared to restart levels multiple times, but if you're okay with dying, learning and route planning for stages that may only take two minutes to eventually beat it's great.

Edit: Actually, you did the optional missions in Broforce didn't you?  I gave up on the Time Bro one.  It's similar to those, broadly speaking.

Sekiro not played it for ages, dont have the time to dedicate to it at present. Same position I was at a out a month or two ago when I last played it I.e. gorilla boss.
Anyway it's available on the lend thread if anyone wants to play it.

Weak

I might give up on this one too:



Another game that's fundamentally good at what it does but gets too hard too quickly to enjoy.

Wilmot's Warehouse
This is alright until it isn't. You're a 2D block in a warehouse. Blocks with pictures are delivered at the bottom. You drag them around and arrange them into meaningful categories and layouts that you design so you can retrieve them under a time limit later when the customers show up. Repeat forever. There isn't much game at all there but it's still decent for a while. 

As you go, you unlock more and more items. It's fun while the categories and stock levels are manageable. But as the warehouse fills up with more and more stock, each delivery can completely upset your inventory system. Suddenly you've got 20 dogs to store and the animal section can't handle that so you need to start reconfiguring the whole thing. So now you're redesigning a whole section, making space, shifting 100 odd blocks around, 8 at a time, wiggling them through gaps, dropping them, moving a couple of blocks out of the way, picking them back up again. This gets old very quickly. It's not giving you the tools you need to play the game in a non-tedious way. 

90% of the game seems to be sorting out your inventory. There's a manic minute and a half delivering customer orders, 3 minutes for a new delivery, another customer bit, another delivery and then inventory sorting (it gives you unlimited time but it's probably about 10-20 minutes each go). There's 200 items to unlock and when you do, it's game over. I gave up about 4 hours in with 90 odd unlocked. There's another 6 hours or so maybe, lugging stuff about. Fuck it.

The Eurogamer review was fairly gushing about the lack of prescriptive solution.

Mind you, I’m pretty sure it was the same guy who turned himself inside out to write that pretentious, positive review of Virginia.

Steamworld Dig Got to the end where there is a boss fight. Tried it twice and gave up. Unnecessary boss fight which the game didnt need.

My view on all boss encounters.  I don’t understand them.

Shenmue and Shenmue II on gamepass, 15 mins on the first, 5 mins on the second. Loved both games to bits but they won't be getting revisited again.

No you won't. You'll see them evolve into III before fully regretting it

I have heard of the Jim Sterling but never actually heard him until now. I hadn’t realised that he’s basically just that Yahtzee bloke, what’s the point in having both?

I dont think they are all that similar.

Sterling doesnt have a beard and doubt he has a walk, more a waddle.
