I think a lot of the elements you're identifying as obtuse are just things that you kind of learn to spot intuitively the more you play these games. Having played through Demon and Dark Souls multiple times before even the second Dark Souls came out, I think experience of knowing what weird little q...

The best thing is that they have a £2,000,000 press room in Downing Street that they could have done that announcement from and yet for some reason thought that making him stand outside in the pissing rain looking like an utter loser was a better idea. I hope they get utterly wiped out. Absolute bot...

That's one of the things I love about these games. If certain significant features are hidden away like that it makes you wonder what other more optional hidden content there is to discover. It rewards you slowly going through each area and checking corners for hidden walls and buttons and encourage...

Oh boy I can't wait to dive back into this game.

Oh man, RIP Todd.

Can't believe it's getting on for fifteen years since our first GRAW heydays. He really was such a lovely bloke.

Shame. Gloomhaven was so good as well.

The default format for all of our themes is actually the opposite to what we are used to. I have an extension installed which flips them over automatically for every theme. Likely for those experiencing any issues that the extension just failed to load correctly for some reason.

I was very skeptical about it given that it is made by the absolute hacks who butchered GoT and demonstrated as it went on that they had no real care for telling a compelling or well thought out story. I know the books are finished so there's less they need to make up themselves with footnotes but I...

So I finally got to the Gold Saucer.

It is absolutely brilliant. So many little things to make you smile, I especially love the robot Tonberry room servant.

First time I think I've ever done an escort mission side quest and genuinely enjoyed it. The battle variant of the theme is really good too. When he leads you to the next area which was previously blocked off it also unlocks the piano mini game, which has been my favourite one so far. I'm sweeping u...

I haven't had much chance to play this week so I'm only in the Junon city at the moment, but from what I've gathered the protorelics are entirely optional. I believe the side story revolves around fighting an optional endgame boss for extra loot and that's all. I quite liked the Fort Condor game. I'...

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth I've dumped enough hours into this now to summarise my thoughts on it. So far I've just passed the 20 hour mark and I'm about to enter Junon, so it's been quite a lengthy play through scouting every single corner of the map and fully completing both open world areas I've had...

Some of these smaller studios are helmed by industry veterans who used to work for the bigger AAA companies. That's where the quality is being produced nowadays. Look at Helldivers 2, £35 for an incredible game with many hours of content by a team who are passionate about supporting it and with a ve...

I didn't have any issues understanding any of the dialogue.

Just got back from seeing Dune in IMAX. Holy crap what an experience. Such a spectacle from start to finish. Absolutely incredible.
