No, it wasn’t. Some sort of office room.

The game mostly reminded me how much I don’t care for horror.

Titanfall 2 (PC)

Picked up in a Steam sale because it made EDGE's list of games of the (last) generation. Absolutely stellar stuff, bar some story-telling weirdness*. It's a real shame that we probably won't get a Titanfall 3, but will still be getting new Call of Duties until the heat-death of the universe. I believe in the business this is called 'pulling a Firefly'.

Wondering if I should try out the multiplayer.

A Monster's Expedition (PC)

Superb puzzler.  Absolutely top tier IMO - the perfect level combo of simple core mechanic + excellently paced incremental complexity of levels introducing more tricks as they go.  I've hit the credits, there's a fair chunk of optional stuff to go.  It's an easy [9], I think the only reason I'm not going even higher is the complexity of the map which - although charming in many ways - slightly daunts me being completionist as it's very unclear which islands I've not finished / what optional routes I can take next etc.  (I suspect that's actually just more layers of genius puzzle design, but it's largely making my brain hurt atm...))

I played on PS4, it was clearly struggling in numerous places.  Glad I never attempted to suffer the Switch version.  Found myself nodding at most of your complaints but I enjoyed it overall.

Yes.

Just finished Batman Arkham Knight for the second time on NG+. Really loved playing through it again, although as everyone says the tank missions got a bit samey after a while. I'll miss soaring through Gotham and kicking seven bells out of random thugs and all of the brilliant nods to the DC universe. Looking forward to Gotham Knights.

Space Jam Legacy.

Err well that was short.
Decent enough arcade brawler. Up to 3 player at once. It has a nice mechanic where a basketball is always on hand to use as a projectile or charge for a powerful shot. There are 3 characters Bugs, LOL and LeBron. Not much separates the 3 in terms of gameplay, unique animations but nothing as diverse as SoR characters.
Special moves are character cards each doing something different. Taz is like calling the cops in SoR1, Tweetie a strength boost, Roadrunner speed boost and so on.

Graphics. OK I get going for a 16bit style and all the but it looks pretty ropey in places. They could have still done 16bit style but better than this.

Its so short though. Maybe 90 minutes tops probably less. There is a hard mode and a boss rush mode but thats it.

This is the Game Pass prerelease alpha thing so not sure if more levels are to be added in the final release. In its current form I would say dont pay more than a quid for it. Obviously those on GP can just download and play.

Its not in the normal Game Pass bit. You have to claim it in the Perks section.

Looks like more of a shooter than the rest to me. Nice graffix and the zoomed out view gets a thumbs up.

I played it for about 5 minutes and thought it was shite

Ratchet and Clank on the PS5 and it was fine.

Bit tough there tbf, so fine with a nice heart and a good mood.

What did you make of the last boss?  I thought it was a mixture of lazy and passable up to that point but really hated the final stretch.

I really liked it too, Drew. It was more Ratchet and Clank and, for me, that’s a good thing. I really liked Rivet and the story was decent enough to hold the whole thing together.

Demon’s, Returnal and Ratchet are decent justification for early PS5 adoption (if you can get hold of one).

I enjoyed it, ended up giving it an 8. Felt the PS4 game was a little bit better.
