Currently on a staycation to use up my annual leave, enjoying a gaming extravaganza. Mario Odyssey, Destiny 2 and Assassin's Creed Origins all great so far. Also looking to finish up Prey and Dishonoured 2.
I'm now a happy owner of an Xbox One X, and boy does it look nice on my TV. Gears 4 in particular benefits from both the higher resolution and the HDR. Everything runs buttery smooth too. Picked up F1 2017 to have an enhanced racing game (I played a lot of Forza 6 recently, so I'm holding off on 7 until it goes on sale). It's been ages since I played an F1 game, or indeed followed F1 at all, so there's a lot of stuff that's new to me. It's a pretty slick game though.
Finished the Zero Dawn DLC. Oh boy some of those Beasties are tough. You need to really adapt your fighting style to batter them. No time for traps and stuff. You have to probe at the baddies and take them out slowly.
Good story advancement if a little expositional at times. Sets up a possible story for the sequel too. All in all 8/10.
Oh, and I have "No Man's Sky" wiblfibl, but when I get home, and knackered, I look at the pretty pictures, and possibilities, and end up playing Bejeweled 3. Too old and too tired. It looks stunning.
In NMS you can play Creative mode which is basically God mode. Supposed to be a very chilled way to play the game, as is Normal mode when you know what you are doing.
Just finished the HZD DLC, and stepping away from that world for the first time in a couple of months I've started Until Dawn, which is elderly now but was squatting on my hard drive after being the free PSN game a while ago.
Won't take long, looks like my sort of thing thus far (lots of walking about).
Me and Ms johnr have spent every spare moment this last few weeks playing Breath of the Wild, and I still don't think we've scratched the surface. It is an astonishing piece of work, so much detail, so many puzzles (about 120 apparently), loads of humour and weirdness, memorable bosses and foes, and always 'something to do just round the corner'. It's completely addictive, much more so than anything I've played before.
Until Dawn gets a lot less walking about, and occasionally a bit scary. Great fun; they had it out early on the PS4, I could see that a more polished version could work, down the line.
We have ordered a switch. It will legitimately be the first console we've ever had in the house. In theory, this is for the 8 year old, so only two games picked it so far: Zelda & Just Dance. Mario Odyssey might be close behind
Fast suggestions for games an 8 year old (and her dad) might like?
