Started my replay of Hellblade: Seuna’s Sacrifice in anticipation of the sequel releasing in May! Here are my first batch of screenshots … 

It was great to finally get to play with some of you guys last night! I tried my best to keep up with you! 
 
This game is a blast and I’m now motivated to reach the higher levels to get some of the better stratagems that you lot were using! 
 
Looking forward to what they do with future updates too! 

SIFU was my second favourite game from 2022, behind only God of War Ragnarok! 
 
I adored SIFU and it remains one of my proudest platinum trophies! Highly recommend people try it if you haven’t yet, now is the perfect time!! 

Seeing your screenshots and watching these clips has made me want to play this game! Always heard good things but never got around to it. Just looks like a lot of fun! 

Even more Max Payne 3

Ashamed to say I haven’t played those 3 games! I believe I played a little bit of Fear 2 but don’t recall much of it! 
 
For me the first game that comes to mind is SIFU. I really fell in love with the combat in this game, learning to master the game was both challenging and rewarding, and beating it and earning the platinum was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had in gaming! 
 
Some other games that come to mind are Control, and going back further I would say Splinter Cell Conviction (although I’m not sure if the gameplay still holds up today!) 

Every so often I stumble upon, or revisit a game which is just the equivalent of crack in terms of highly enjoyable and pulsating combat. These games just have that extra something which really stands out and where the combat shines mechanically and even visually. Off the top of my head, I'd say 3 games which really stand out are:-
 
Metal Gear Rising - fast paced, responsive, smooth and incredibly satisfying melee-based combat. 

 
F.E.A.R - inspired by Max Payne's bullet time feature but with additional immersion thanks to the first person perspective.

 
Max Payne 3 - bullet time never gets old plus the attention to detail and environmental effects look spectacular.

 
There's probably loads more that I've forgotten about but what are your standout games that just have that little bit more in terms of the combat?

It was quite good fun again! Bit cruel of @LordBaguette to start you off on extreme with us 🤣
 
I was still chuckling this morning about the number of chargers chasing me only for @GazzaGarratt to bring Tom back in right on top of them 😂
 
And watching Lee run around with all of the automatons chasing him while we all hid behind the building 😄

That’s more like it. I will definitely be adding all of these to my library!

Some more Max Payne 3

I’m in the same position as @Luseth, I’ve never played but have always been interested! Assuming they have cross play I would definitely be up for trying it, but I’ll be playing from the Xbox side! 

@Riff Machine  I have been listening to these on and off via spotify depending on what topic I am fancying. I have only just realised that there are none on there from about May last year, is this intentional? I.e. if I want to listen to any later ones it needs to be via youtube?

I played it for a few hours when it first went to early access, haven’t picked it up since it went to full release! Like Sea of Thieves, I would be interested assuming there is cross play as il be playing through Xbox Game pass 👍🏻

Some Hogwarts Legacy snaps whilst I work towards the platinum …

Some Hogwarts Legacy snaps whilst I work towards the platinum … 

First weekend with Helldivers 2, played probably 2 and a half hours total and had a fun time! No login issues whatsoever! 
 
Didn’t get the chance to play with any FG members, saw some of you online but your lobbies were full! Played with random people and even that was a good time! 
 
Looking forward to playing more later in the week 👍🏻

Helldivers 2 purchased and downloading 👍🏻 
 
Hopefully I’ll be able to join one of your sessions tonight or Saturday, I typically play quite late (22.30ish UK time) and have to be relatively quiet as my girlfriend and daughter are sleeping, but looking forward to playing with some FG members for the first time!

Ok, @Diddums and @GazzaGarratt you have sold me. Seems like the right time to jump in. 
 
It’s pay day too, so I’m going to make the purchase and jump in this weekend!
