Adored the game. It’s fun and I love the chill vibes. I wish the in-game map was a bit better to make navigation easier.

I’m all for cat games. Stray, Little Kitty Big City – gimme more!

Greatly appreciate the followup!

Love your write ups!

A dumpster fire of a situation. 8 years of development, $400 million reported budget, game shut down after 2 weeks and now the studio closed.

AAA gaming is a hot mess right now.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2651280/Marvels_SpiderMan_2/ There’s a notice that mentions the PSN requirement.

Sony is so annoying with their mandatory PSN requirement.

Started Hellblade II during the weekend. Visually it’s the most impressive game I’ve played so far.

What I struggle with is keeping up with the story and all of the runestones and dialogue and everything. I enjoyed Hellblade I but had to go through the plot on Wikipedia after completing the game to understand what I had just played.

Third one’s stated for release next year.

Happy to answer! Don’t worry I don’t bite haha.

Its draws for me were:

• Portability: Carry it wherever you want. Game on the couch or on the go.
• Price: Starts at 400 USD.
• Performance: It has decent performance.
• Ease of use: It’s plug and play like a console. Don’t have to mess around with settings if you don’t want to.
• Dockable: Use any USB C dock to connect it to your monitor/TV and play games on a larger screen.
• Linux PC: Switch to Desktop Mode and it’s now a regular computer.
• Not restricted to Steam: If you have a game library on other service such as GOG or Epic, you can use a third-party launcher like Heroic.
• Repairability: Valve’s been good about providing spare parts. You can upgrade storage on your own.
• Comes with a nice carry case.

Drawbacks that I found:

• Certain games aren’t supported on Linux - especially many multiplayer games with anti-cheat.
• It’s heavy: My fingers fatigue far quicker as compared to a Nintendo Switch. Haven’t tried other handhelds so I can’t provide a comparison with them.

I was pleasantly surprised by Teardown’s campaign. Didn’t expect it to be that good. Completed the story in the base game and had a lot of fun.

Ran well on the Steam Deck.

The article undersells the amount that’s been leaked. Taking a look at the X/Twitter account the article linked to, there are beta sprites of gen 3/4/5 Pokemon being shared. Allegedly the source code for Black 2/White 2 is out there as well.

Future Halo Games Moving to Unreal Engine 5 as 343 Industries Rebrands, ‘Multiple Projects’ in Development

Tried the demo for it a while ago. So eerie.

Definitely want to give it a try in the future.

Plan on playing Alan Wake’s American Nightmare?

I played it a few days ago. Been a while since I played AW and I enjoy Remedy’s games so it was worth checking out for me.

I thought it was alright. Aside from the main character, the voice acting is ridiculously goofy.

They were working on iOS and Android ports.

Lackluster game library, busy remastering perfectly good games

Single purpose device

PS5 will be my last ever console. I don’t see the value proposition in consoles anymore with the rise of PC handhelds.

Geez. Awful use of resources remastering games that already look great.

I suggest the offline installer over the Microsoft Store version.

The option to share files via right click > “Send to” seen below doesn’t appear for me using the Microsoft Store version.
