It's a very short, very sweet RPG with Stranger Things vibes. It's a little too simple combat wise (Paper Mario), but imo it's part of the charm. I really liked it. Story it's a little light but it has some cool moments. I think it's on sale right now. If you don't go expecting anything too complex I'd say it's a steal.
Welp, I'm ready to not watch anything from them. Hopefully they prove me wrong, but Netflix is infamous for its terrible adaptations and race-swapping.
I liked Avowed ,Shadows and South of Midnight from that list. Probably would like The Outer Worlds 2, but haven't gotten around yet. The other ones don't make it to my top 10.
Honestly I'm between games, not sure what to give my full attention to. Tried a little of Clover Pit which is pretty fun. I've also tried the Star Trek game which kinda like a Telltale one. Resurgence I think? It's fun. But nothing really hooked me so far. It's a me problem, not the games though. I'll keep trying and see what happens.
Oh that's great. Mirage is the first AC game I didn't buy. I knew I wasn't gonna enjoy it that much. I finished it though. Might go back since this is free-ish.
That's an insult now? It's more concise than saying "a Playstation user that defends everything their favorite company does, believes that they can do no wrong and attacks everyone that likes something else in discussions online".
Like I said, agreed to disagreed. There are cool Playstation people. Not that one though.
But I don't go around other people's comments on YouTube or social media that have nothing to do with Sony and start talking about how Xbox is dead and Playstation is better so no. Fair if that's your opinion but I don't agree.
It's my favorite out of all the Sherlock Holmes games I've played so far, but I've read it's divisive.
Pros: the cases are pretty good, it's not too long, and it really showcases Sherlock's abilties.
Cons: There's a few puzzles that are really frustrating. I had to watch a video for two of them, but ymmv, maybe I'm just dumber than I want to admit. 😂
It also has a few quick-time events. I feel like they add to the tension, but I know some people hate that stuff.
For me it was still really enjoyable even with those few puzzles that are frustrating. It's the second time I've finished it, and I enjoyed it both.
Been jumping around different games not knowing what to play after finishing Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter.
Now I'm playing Heidelberg 1693 which a classic side-scroller style ala Classicvania. Incredibly difficult but very addictive.
As someone who finished the NES Ninja Gaiden games, I'd say is up there. Died like 150 times total (game keeps count) in like a dozen stages.
Not sure what else I'll be playing.

Re: 2025 GOTY Contender 'Dispatch' Just Got Revealed For Switch, But What About Xbox?
I would try this one, but I play on Xbox, so I'll keep waiting.
Re: Xbox Game Pass Premium Is Free For 14 Days With New Discord Quest
I guess it's region-locked or something because I don't have it.
Too bad, it would have been amazing.
Re: The Much-Hyped Action-RPG 'Phantom Blade Zero' Officially Has One Year Of PS5 Exclusivity
That's cool to know! I'll wait a few years more to give them my money!
Game looked nice, but nothing I'm dying to try.
Re: Poll: What Is Your Xbox Game Of The Year For 2025?
Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
Assassin's Creed Shadows.
Avowed.
Does For the King 2 counts?
Probably in that order. Shinobi, Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, Earthion and and Ninja Gaiden 4 too, but I haven't finished those yet.
Nothing else comes to mind.

@FarmDog08
I really liked The Messenger (haven't finished it though).
Less punishing? I don't know about that... 😂
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 13-14)
Finished Echo Generation again and also Child of Light yesterday (lovely game!).
I kind of promised myself to finish a few games I had started before the year ends, and Child of Light was the first of those.
Now it's The Mummy Demastered.
And I'm also just around the finish line in Gladius.
Happy gaming, guys!
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The Game Awards 2025?
I'm usually really positive, but that was an F.
Re: Here's Everything That Was Revealed At The Game Awards 2025 (For Xbox)
Such an underwhelming event. I expected nothing and I was still let down.

Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Devs Bemoan Lack Of Awards At TGA 2025
It was, as always, terrible in all aspects.
Re: Resident Evil Legend Leon Kennedy Confirmed For Requiem Thanks To Store Page Reveal
I'll keep playing the OG RE4, thank you.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 6-7)

Then I think you'll enjoy it! And we get Echo Generation 2 in Game Pass next year too.

Echo Generation (again).
And For the King.

That one comment saying it's like GoW (I imagine the new ones) is putting me off. 😅
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 29-30)
Started Child of Light a few days ago. Stunning game!
Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Revisiting Red Dead Redemption On Xbox Next Week?
Nah, bored me to tears the only time I've played it.
Re: Three Xbox First-Party Games Make The Cut In AP's Top 10 Releases Of 2025
I liked Avowed ,Shadows and South of Midnight from that list.

The other ones don't make it to my top 10.
Re: Waiting Patiently For Far Cry 7? Ubisoft Has Just Announced A Far Cry TV Show Instead
As long as it doesn't have anything to do with 3 I would be happy. But that's probably the most popular one.
Re: Poll: Which Is Your Favourite Xbox 360 Launch Title?
Gun is still my favorite western game. I don't give a sh#t about RDR and both Red Dead Redemption games.
Revolver was pretty cool though.

Re: Ubisoft Has Two Major Releases Planned By April 2026, One Being The Prince Of Persia Remake
Everyone is doing remakes these days. I mean they sell, so it makes sense. It's just not my thing.
I'd prefer if it's Far Cry 7 but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Re: Expedition 33 Wins GOTY As Xbox Takes Home Two Awards At The Golden Joysticks 2025
It was a solid 7 for me. But I'm glad if this means we'll get more JRPGs.
Hopefully better than this one.
Re: Roundup: All The Reveals From 2025's Xbox Partner Preview Showcase

Re: Vampire Crawlers Is A Survivors Spin-Off, And It's Set For Xbox Game Pass In 2026
This is an easy Day 1 for me.
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade November's Xbox Partner Preview Event?
Solid A for me. Better than I expected. Lot of great games.
Re: Neon Inferno Is Getting Some Impressive Reviews Ahead Of This Week's Xbox Release
Retroware makes/publishes (I'm not sure) really good retro games.
Most are easy Day 1 for me.
Re: These Nine Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (November 19 - December 2)
That's a lot of games I was curious/interested in. I've been "saving" a few to have several to play when I sub.
Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage Gets Massive Xbox Game Pass Update, Including Free Single-Player DLC
Oh that's great. Mirage is the first AC game I didn't buy. I knew I wasn't gonna enjoy it that much.
I finished it though. Might go back since this is free-ish.
Re: Marvel Cosmic Invasion Is Suddenly A 'Day One' Xbox Game Pass Title, Arriving In December
It's a great addition. Me and a friend will be playing this one coop no doubt about it.
Maybe I'll buy it too, we'll see.
Re: 'Where Winds Meet' Expected To Release For Xbox Following Major Success On PC & PS5
@Weebleman
I just feel like fanboy doesn't comprise the same. Maybe that's just me though.
A fanboy can be passionate about something without being rude or downright hostile towards other people.
My use of that word was to separate it from that people.
But as I said, maybe that's just me. I feel like it's more insulting to the fanboys to call those other people the same.
And hey, no problem, man. It's an interesting discussion. But maybe not the place, don't wanna see comments start getting deleted.

Also, there's a few roguelites that sound cool.

Best deal in price-quality when I got it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 8-9)
Finished Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter.
Started Chasm (the metroidvania, not the other one), really good far.
I've also installed Mass Effect the Legendary Edition. Need to finish 2 and 3 in max difficulty and a few other Achievements to have everything.
