And that's without mentioning Detroit: Become Human, Uncharted 4, Heavy Rain, Journey, Spider-Man etc. It's an amazing system with a phenomenal library.
-
Get a PS4. Bloodborne, God Of War and The Last Of Us are some of the best games of the generation. Do it!
-
Pretty sure you can do this in Fortnite now, right?
-
The trailer looked really cool but the general scuttlebutt about the game is that it's pretty underwhelming (reviews have been mediocre, for the most part). Will probably check it out in a sale when it's super cheap. Great premise, though.

I'm a huge fan of Sony's unloved handheld. From its raft of top-notch JRPGs, to its vibrant indie scene, to it's limited but still accomplished selection of AAA games, there's something for everyone on Sony's diminutive console.
So for those out there who're passionate about the PS Vita: What are your favourite titles on the system?
Mine are Darkest Dungeon, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Killzone: Mercenary, Demon Gaze, Dungeon Travelers 2, Limbo, Undertale and Super StarDust Delta. (phew!)
Keen to hear ya thoughts!

I'm currently playing Octopath Traveler and one of the characters, Primrose, has one of the best game backstories I've come across.
Aye, Primrose has an incredible story--it reminds me a lot of Arya Stark from Game Of Thrones.
Hmm, I think Naughty Dog's Uncharted series has some strong and iconic characters. Telltale's The Walking Dead, Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human all have very fully fleshed out characters, as well. They all genuinely feel like real people, which is a hell of a feat for a video game to achieve.

I've probably said this a few times already, but I think one of my more controversial opinions is that I just couldn't get into one of the most highly rated games of 2017: Super Mario Odyssey. It just didn't click for me, and I feel that the nostalgia probably clouded many people's judgement for that game. That said, getting fun out of nostalgia is fine--there's nothing wrong with that. I will try and give it a second chance once I get my backlog in order!

It sometimes feels like I'm swimming against the tide with my backlog. There's just not enough hours in the day!

It's gotta be Snake! Snaaake! SNAAAAAAAAKE!
-
I feel weird for saying this but the latest Mario hasn't clicked with me. I usually love Mario games but Mario Odyssey is just underwhelming for me tbh.

I enjoyed Super Star Wars on the SNES back in the day. The Battlefront games on PS2 were pretty damn good as well.
-
Great games with top-notch writing and characters. Even though there's not a huge amount of traditional gameplay involved I'd still recommend playing them yourself instead of watching them on YT ideally. Some of the choices are very personal ones, and it's awesome sculpting your very own, unique story.
-
I'd highly recommend FTL: Faster Than Light and Pony Island on PC. Awesome games and can be picked up for pretty cheap these days.
-
The classic fantasy board game, Hero Quest, was turned into a game on Amstrad CPC 464 back in the day. Absolutely loved it. I mean, look at the box art of the board game. It's freakin' AWESOME!
-
- The twist at the end of Silent Hill 2 was a gut-punch of the highest order. You literally discover that you've been playing as a murderer the entire time. Seriously had to put the controller down and have a cigarette after that.
- The opening and the end of The Last Of Us legit made me well up.
- The death of Reuben the pig in Minecraft Story Mode still haunts me to this day.
-
The Hotline Miami series, FTL: Faster Than Light, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas all have INCREDIBLE soundtracks. About half of the music I listen to these days is music from video games. We're pretty lucky these days. Also, old-school stuff like Super Mario World and the Silent Hill series also had bodacious soundtracks.
-
If you like Horizon Zero Dawn, perhaps check out Dark Souls or Bloodborne, maybe? Slightly different games, I know, but I think the moment-to-moment combat is better in the Soulsborne games than HZD. Also, The Witcher 3 might be worth a look, too.
-
Oh, and Fallout 76 looks like it's shaping up well, too. That's high on my list, as well.
-
Aye, I'm a sucker for Call Of Duty so Black Ops 4 is high up on my most anticipated list. RDR2 looks great, but personally I'm not a huge fan of Westerns or Rockstar games in general. Sure it'll be awesome for those who dig it, though. Cyberpunk 2077 looks rad, but I'll be very surprised if it launches in 2018.
Wasteland 2 just launched today on Switch and I've been pretty pumped for that. Will pick it up after I've finished some things on my schedule. Also, Darkest Dungeon's DLC 'The Colour Of Madness' should be coming soon to console, hopefully. Really looking forward to that, too.
-
Great question. I'd opt for either FTL: Faster Than Light or Skyrim.
-
I had the SEGA one on the PS3 way back when and enjoyed playing some of the classics like Golden Axe, Altered Beast and Streets Of Rage. Funnily enough a new Streets of Rage 4 has just been announced. Crazy, right?
-
The PS4 controller is dope but I think the best controller has to be the xbox 360/Xbox One version. Many people like the Switch Pro controller but I haven't had a chance to go hands on with it yet.

Absolutely! PS has arguably the best first party lineup in the business. The exclusives are top-notch and luckily PS4s are pretty cheap these days. Worst case scenario, just pick up a refurbished PS4 for cheap and work your way through the exclusives that way. Happy gaming!

Yep, for sure. Nostalgia is not inherently a bad thing. But, yeah, leaning too far into nostalgia for nostalgia's sake can backfire. I think most Nintendo franchises are naturally nostalgic properties. Most people played Ninty's games growing up. I guess I just felt that Super Mario Odyssey felt a little too long in the tooth for me. It seemed to resonate well with most gamers, though. Plus, take what I say with a pinch of salt as I haven't beaten the whole game yet. I just wasn't feeling the first 5-6 hours. Need to give it another try...
