Playing through Prey at the moment, not bad. It's a little bioshock mixed with alien isolation and a little soma.

Loved that game, really tough going, hiding in lockers, holding your breath.  Nightmare stuff.

I enjoyed Prey. Typical Arkane though in giving you lots of interesting toys to play with and then disincentivising you from using them!

I've been messing about with Total War: Warhammer 2's new DLC. Bugs aside, patch this week which should nail at least the worst, it's got the feel of designers and artists just having a lot of fun and seeing how far they can push the game. Kind of hopeful for their new title Three Kingdoms having seen CA moving from Warhammer 1 to where to Warhammer 2 is at now. Apart from the bugs and their slow patch rate.

 Yeah, love Infinite.  It's interesting playing through the story the second time too when you know the context for everything going on around you.  The 'twins' conversations for example take on a different meaning with the knowledge that one has with a second playthrough. "He doesn't row" indeed.

Spot on that mate, I missed loads when I played this on the PS3 (the Lutece twins stuff being one of the main culprits), I didn't play any of the DLC when it originally came out and as its all free as part of the bundle im chipping away at that till I start Days gone, Burial at Sea pt 2 DLC is superb, one minute you're in Rapture then back in Columbia. Great stuff

I don't think Isolation is in VR. Well, not in any official manner. Certainly not on something like PSVR, although it should be. Would love it to be. Would be heart-attack material, though.

 I'll have to have a go at Burial as Sea then as for some unknown reason I've never touched it.

Is that Prey - the fantastic game with a rich story line and a delve into Native American Mysticism or the new shit one?

I was going to get it the day it came out but the reviews put me off slightly, was genuinely expecting a 10/10 game after 3 years of hype and it’s seemingly being ripped apart from most review sites as a mediocre 6/10 game. Might wait for a price drop and then buy a copy.

It looked pretty boring to me right from the first trailer. Just running away from hordes of zombies, didn’t look particularly ground breaking and the Last of Us has already nailed the whole zombie apocalypse thing.
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Dimwit: are you playing Fallout 76?

Far Cry New Dawn. Easy, relaxing shooting. Lurking around Hope County and killing bad guys with a silenced sniper rifle. Makes you wonder what Fallout would be like with a better engine.

Trying to construct in Dreams but the controls are off putting.

PC wise its AC Odyssey and Division 2. Odyssey is amazing, for £18 quid (Fanantical sale) its worth every penny and perhaps the best AC yet? Wouldn't know entirely as the 3 I started were never completed!
- all in my opinion of course -

Bayonetta on the switch. Picked it up without knowing anything about it except that it had good reviews, but really enjoying it. The combat has a lot of depth to it, it seems a very rewarding game to put time into.

 Yeah, I've read that a lot.  The general consensus seems to be 'bland open world, boring characters, shite story but kick-ass gunplay/combat.  I'm gonna get it just as a quick 15 minutes at a time adrenalin kick.  Starting Metro Exodus tomorrow though, so that first.

Yes. Don't quite understand the negativity either. It's not a great game, but a good and fun enough game.

Finally I started playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild as well, so far I don't agree with everybody saying it's a masterpiece and the greatest game ever. But I'm having a blast with it.

The gunplay/combat is excellent. So far its been clearing outposts, missions etc similar to Far Cry but done with doom style combat rather than any stealth.
The crafting, levelling and driving etc is all distinctly average. It looks gorgeous on higher settings. Worth getting if you can get it discounted.

I caved and bought Skyrim at the weekend for the Switch. Amazing how good it is in handheld mode, really is. I know the Switch version is missing all the mods, but it's an excellent game to be able to play on the go.

Had a couple of hours with Total War: Three Kingdoms. Pretty lovely game. Added more complexity to the campaign side although switching back to historical-ish battles from having dragons and fireballs in the Warhammer version is a little bit of a shift down too. Not hugely into Chinese mythologised history but it's got a lot of charm to how it plays.
