Zombie Army 4 along with Sniper Elite 5.

Both games from the same stable so mechanics are similar.

Zombie is a shooter gore fest whilst Sniper is much calmer. Great combo to choose from depending on my mood.

Really enjoyed Sniper Elite 5. A nice wind down game after a hard day in the office.

Cricket 22 on the PS5. I’m currently playing the Test Championship on Veteran level, and I guess you need to be a staunch cricket fan to spend time on the tests! The gameplay is pretty good and I’ve not got any major complaints.

I also still regularly login to the online game wwiionline; which I’ve been doing since 2005. Still have mates there since the very first years however obviously far less.

Love a good cricket game. Still hard to beat Graham Gooch's World Class Cricket on the good old ST, though. :)

Assassin's Creed - never played this when it came out but have owned a copy for a couple of years now so decided to install it and give it a go - it's not great for my vertigo :crylol:

Finished Conan Exiles last night, thoroughly underwhelming ending.

Back to Grounded since it’s hit full release.

Very casually playing world of Warcraft :dragon flight.

It is more a point to the old days. Stuff you CAN do rather than HAVE to do. Enjoying playing the game this way.

I stuck on Skyrim for the first time.

It felt old, mechanically frustrating and dated. But it really did lure me in and make me want to play more. I don't think I will play it more than the 5-6 hours I already have though.

If I'm going to lose myself in a game like this, I think Red Dead 2 probably deserves another shot.

Restarted a leisurely new playthrough of this myself. The first time around I kind of loved it, but also I really didn't.

I struggle to dedicate the time it asks for these days, but now I only sit down with it when I know I have at least a good couple of hours to spare exploring and finding new things, experimenting with the game and doing the odd mission. Much more rewarding that way. It is the best open world ever made in a game - it just asks you not to rush it along I think.

Yeah, I struggled with it originally, didn't get all that far and when I lost my white horse in quite farcical fashion I just gave up.

I'm thinking this time, on a newer console, with a vastly superior and larger TV, the spectacle of it will be more compelling and I can take things much more leisurely, as was intended.

The Callisto Protocol.

Everything you'd expect from Striking Distance.

I've **** my pants six times and I'm only two chapters in, combat system is a bit clumsy mind.
