Calisto Protocol getting some very underwhelming reviews. 

That's too bad. It seemed like just what I was looking for.

Maybe Evil West?

Seems many Dead Space fans, myself included, anticipated far too much from the game, and have been disappointed.

A good, fully-new game, not just the remake of the original this year.

Anyone preordering Jedi Survivor? There's no exclusive lightsabre colour this time, just some parts based on Luke's various sabres, and Han's DL-44 gun skin, among other stuff. I don't know if I want to pay full price for this game, as I still haven't completed the first one. I love the game, I just haven't got around to finishing it yet.

Dead Space remake looks much more promising than Callisto

The Dragons Lair style fighting input just doesn't look fun

[Diamonddave]

Want to give Cult of the Lamb a try but can't put down Elden Ring.

Anyone play the new Gotham Knights game? I'd like to give it a try but I'm not sure if it's good for single player.

Tim wanted to make sure everyone was included...so please share...and join in:)

Just finished Rise of the Tomb Raider, PS4.

Basically the same as the previous reboot, but bigger, with the kind of environments you’ve seen before in these games, especially the snowy, frost-bitten military installations and prisons, this time in Siberia.  Nothing  really new in terms of gameplay, while picking up documents and tape recordings reveals a quite boring backstory, and the hidden cities aren’t particularly inventive in design. The Tomb Raider HD collection, the PS3 Legend, Anniversary and Underworld Trilogy was far more imaginative.

Calling the game ‘Rise’ implies an evolution in the character, but you don’t really see any of that.

Very disappointing reviews and multi-player is its only redeeming quality from what I've read.

Halo Infinite on sale for 50 bucks AU, 50% off. Worth it just for a campaign? I still haven't done said campaign, so it's new content, and I LOVE Halo and do want to sdd the game to my digital collection and of course play it at some stage. Is now the right time?

For now I've only played a bit of the multiplayer, which was only okay, limited by the absurdly money-driven approach 343 has taken to how they're running it. 

How would others rate the campaign?

Just finished Infamous Second Son, PS5 upgrade.

It was okay; nice smooth graphics, interesting and lengthy main story missions, but too few of them, and padded out with turf war gameplay where you had to take back sectors of Seattle, and a limited range of repetitive side tasks.

Loaded up the Witcher 3 Complete PS5 Edition today via my PS4 GOTY disc's free upgrade, so I probably won't be posting here again until next year.  (It's supposed to be quite big).  Superb graphics.

Pack a lunch for Witcher 3, especially with all the DLC.

You don't have to go to every question mark.

Finished my first Elden ring run on Sunday night. Got all the OP weapons, probably start NG+ tonight. Big question is, do I simp for Ranni again?

Skyrim Syndrome.  Pointless, excessive hoarding.

Doing it again with Witcher 3 PS 5.  Go about 10m, pick a plant. Herbs, herbs, herbs for all those millions of potions I'll likely never make.

I do it with literally every game. Oh this is rare huh? Better hoard it and never use it. What, game's over and I'm sitting on a pile of the stuff now? Yeah still better to be safe than sorry.

Getting a bit frustrated with Witcher 3 PS 5. All of a sudden starting suffering from frequent crashes.
