But making toast means getting something to spread on it, which means facing the eternal question of the difference between jam, marmalade and preserve.

That's nothing new, mixed citrus only comes as marmalade and ginger only as preserve, so I've been combining for ages (well, since I found the ginger preserve in the jams section). It's just the craziness of these identical things having different names is too much when you're stoned.

Yakuza 6. Would hate to spoil anything but it's the right ending

Yet Another Meh Puzzle Game. [5]

They're adding NG+ so you can replay with all your unlocks + knowings.

On reflection it was a solid 8/10 for me. A very strong base to build upon.

I’m still playing. Just had yet another wow moment. Combat much more fluid now but enemies also seem a bit easier, not that it’s taking away from how fun it is.

Not sure I can be bothered with NG+ in the end as I’m trying to do all that I possibly can and I have far too many other games to play. But still. Just this one playthrough will be an easy 9 for me.

Braid
Played it when it came out and lost a lot of progression and sacked it off. Played through the whole game today with the help of a walk through where necessary but it still stands up as the best puzzle game ever mechanically. Story is superfluous and retro graphic chic has dated but even with having to cheat through some of the puzzles this is a strong candidate for a ten.

Fin another game on Snes-mini, which is all I play now because I'm that kewl.

Blazed through SMB2. I'd forgotten how sparse and tricky the level design gets in parts and that there's no world 8! No complaints mind, it's a pure classic that's a little bit odd - in a good way - given that it uses another game's world as a base.

I still don't get that slot machine mini-game either, tried all kinds of different timing approaches and barely won any 1-ups.

EarthBound am finished - thank fuck.

Think I may have enjoyed it more if I'd played it on the switch (had it a VC) / a jail-broken handheld. The combat got old quickly, by the end there was far too much of it and I would have preferred tapping away at that part of things during a lull in a film/sports event or something.

It does have its charms in terms of audio-visual design, decent writing and a fairly expansive and imaginatively constructed world that's enjoyable to explore.. most of the time.

God of War (PS4)

Amazing game. An all time greats and one of the best this gen. Everything is so well put together into an overall great package. So much to do, see and find in such a relatively small area (given how big games tend to be nowadays), testament to great design. The central hub area is particularly well designed and put together.

Combat starts off a bit simple and meh but really picks up as you go along with so many things and moves an weapons and parts etc to unlock. It never stops! Goes from button mashy to really tactical and fun, to making you feel like a badass god.

Exploring is the real joy though. The game manages to do that BotW thing of “oh I wonder what’s over there” and next thing you know you’ve spent hours looking for and finding new areas and things to do.

Level of polish has to get a mention. This game is a looker. I played on Pro and went to performance option. Still dips below 60fps here and there but given the amount of detail and stuff going on, that’s expected.  And the sound design and music are great too. Some great pieces of music. Not enough to make me wanna buy the OST but still great. 

The most surprising thing about the game though is the story and characters. In a fucking GoW game. Seriously. I mean it’s not the best example, I don’t think, but does it well none the less. There were a few moments that made me smile and just sit back and ‘feel’ something. Not what I would expect from a game like this.

Can’t wait for the sequel.

Lol you won’t need to try too hard with me

I tried to download that today, but PSN wouldn't even let me see the store page.

It might struggle; GPU's only a 750m. It would mean plugging it in, too.

Seemed like they'd just fucked up, rather than PSN being overloaded.
