I really like Assassin's Creed games.
I have been playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla which has taken me many hours, and still not finished it yet.

Nice, get the expansion packs when they are on sale as well, makes the gameplay more fun.

See you in 2024. The scale of these games are insane.

Odyssey was my favourite out the three. Valhalla was unnecessarily long and overblown.

Tried that High On Life thing. Complicated, boring and unfunny so far.

Origins is great. The combat system is easy and there's no press buttons R2, Up, Down, Left, Right and Centre to do the leap of faith.

Favourite of them all is Black Flag. Now that's a game.

Valhalla is stupidly long and not really built for stealth. More of a tank system game. Which is a shame. I will have to dip back in as the last update is now live. Just to finish it.

Not sure if this is sarcastic or not?.
I'm loving this game and cannot be more opposite to your post. Its simple game play, interesting and very funny indeed.

Have you watched Rick and Morty?. Its the same humour as this. The game is brilliant so far.

Agree on Black flag love it, I think the only one I have not played is Unity.

Loved Syndicate for the London vibe.

Next up Assassin's Creed Mirage, who knows.

Well I'm pretty much ready to ditch Elder Scrolls Online after years so that will free up plenty of time. The only downside is work want me to start going back into the office more often which will curtail my free time :furrow:

Anyone pulled the trigger on Dwarven Fortress? It looks a very complicated and difficult to play for a game that almost guarantees your team will die and your fortress will be destroyed.

FWIW I am playing NO man's Sky still, but have reached a bit of a plateau, Got a base, a settlement, a fleet of 30 ships, a frieghter and 4 npc space pilots. I'd like to get an alien ship but that costs coinage (quicksliver) I don't have and will probably never have as I don't do Multi player missions.

Can anyone explain what's the point of cash and nanites please? I've liteally got billions in cash and loads of nanites but I don't really see any use for them?

Also playng RAID Shadow legends but am running the game down now. The latest trick - weapons ascendancy - means I have to farm yet another dungeon that is very hard to do, and will not really benefit me in the long run.

I haven't played Deadpoly for a while but it's go drivable vehicles now so iImay give this another shot.

I’ve been tentatively delving into Scorn - it’s a bit shock by numbers body horror so far, but it looks lovely and is like a Giger painting made 3D. It’s one of those games that just drops you in headfirst and expects you to work it out though, which can be annoying.

Same here, I'm packing it in after the next PR CvC.

Been playing it for 22 months, maxed the Great Hall, got Ramantu and really cba for this new dungeon or the weapon ascendancy.

The only content left for me is PvP, but I'm not interested in trying to compete with the whales.

It's a shame though, but I'm just not enjoying it anymore.

I have two games on the go right now, Disco Elysium and Elden Ring on the PS5. I must say Disco Elysium is brilliant. The storyline and the characters are so refreshing. Loving the script. Elden Ring is extremely difficult so I'm following a brief walkthrough to gain items to make it easier. Both are brilliant games and can see them taking me many, many hours to complete.

Back to World of Warcraft - the newly released 9th expansion -- Dragon Flight.. Massive changes to the game have been made, no longer do you loose out by not playing daily. No AP grind, Legendaries or borrowed power mechanisms this time. You can be really casual and just go along at your own place. Enjoy it but playing responsibly.. after work and gym.

Some ESO friends talked me into giving Final Fantasy 14 a try. It's quite fun and I'm trying to avoid all the grindy things MMORPGS tend to throw at you.

Hogwarts Legacy. Graphics are PS4 standard and a little disappointing but there’s a huge amount of fun to be had here if you’re a fan of the books/films. Really enjoying wandering the castle and grounds without bothering with the story.

Now awaits Twitter to come after me calling me transphobic.
