Cheers Paul.
Will do next time I sub to Prime.

this is £30 on xbox store if you have gold currently.

dunno how that compares to pricing generally?

£30 seems about the going rate at the moment. It’s currently that price on PSN. Very tempted but so much to play.

It’s a brilliant game until the point where you’ve gorged so much on all the wonderful different stuff it’s thrown at you that you can’t even begin to imagine how much other stuff is hidden behind the fogged out map and you chicken out.

It’s like been given a massive 5kg bag of pic n mix. It’s fucking brilliant at the start, exactly all you’ve ever wanted, but 1kg in and you’re looking around thinking that this stuff really should only ever be rationed out as a treat.

Its really good but I got to the third area and it got really repetitive and samey. I loved my time with it though.

Oh I can definitely see the Ubi bloat, and some encounters are getting repetitive already, but it's all so polished and shiny and colourful and it plays so well - everything works as you'd expect and the world is just so damn beautiful. Performance is flawless on PS5. It's the first game since BotW I can session happily for hours. I'm about 25 hours in and only on the second part of the map with the big tree. I've had a wander into other regions and this is easily the most imaginative and interesting map I've seen in an open world game - there is something of interest in every direction.

Coming to this from Valhalla has made me realise what I'm after from my games. It's just so much fun. Stuff like telekinesis - which has been shamelessly robbed from BotW - has been realised so effectively in this that I don't think I could go back to how it is in BotW. It's so accomplished. The upgrades for all the skills and abilities actually change combat in a meaningful way too, whereby I look forward to going back to the Hall of Gods for upgrade time.

I don't know whether I'll finish it - it's a big game, but for now this is absolutely what I want to be playing.

Terrific videogame.

I finished it in the hours you've already put into it, Chalice. You can mainline it in that time.

You can really play it how you want to. If you’re enjoying it, I’d say don’t rush. I just thought I’d highlight that it’s not a game that necessitates the completion of sub-missions for levelling, etc. You just need to ensure you collect the relevant pick-ups when travelling from A to B.

Nothing essential. Costume pieces and I assume consumables.
You don't need the Ubisoft account to play but playing will unlock some of the above in the Ubisoft thing.

Would love to hear more on what you mean with this statement (in reference to Valhalla compared to Immortals for example).

Me too. I LOVED the Immortals demo but didn't buy because I have Valhalla, Tsushima and Miles Morales to play. BUt my eye still wanders back to Immortals....

I started this too soon after BotW.  After a month of Zelda, I wasn't in the mood for a new one.  Never did go back. I'll probably need to wait for winter before trying again.  Can't justify diving into a game like that when it's nice out.

My son has made good progress on this (in fact he's gotten further story wise than I did) (Thanks Jimmy). He's got some OP moves in his combat now and he's having fun with the puzzles and has a good grip of what he's got to do. I'm tempted to dip back on in Switch.

I'm surprised BotW didn't have a batarang/beetle item to fire. Unless I'm misremembering.

I’ve just dropped £15 on a switch copy so I can do

Ah no sorry, I thought you just meant a throwable thingy that comes back atcha
