I just beat the story for Alan Wake 2 last night! Overall, I enjoyed the experience, however I did find the combat to be quite clunky and unsatisfying. I actually much preferred the combat in the original Alan Wake. 
 
I actually didn’t like Saga’s mind place as much as I was hoping. Alan’s plot board was a little better but still not quite what I was hoping for. 
 
The visuals are phenomenal and I loved the way they used live action footage, Remedy are definitely the masters of this right now! 

The voice acting is also fantastic for basically every character in the game! Speaking of characters, I really enjoyed all the new characters, and the reoccurring ones! Saga Anderson is great and hopefully a staple in the series going forward.
 
The story is … great! But it’s a real mindfu**! Obviously this game is part of the RCU (Remedy Connected Universe), so has links to Control. You can play Alan Wake 2 as its own game, but it definitely helps to play Alan Wake and Control first. 
 
It’s the kind of story which leaves you with more questions than answers, and it wants to come up with your own theories about what has happened and why it’s happening. 
 
I’m really hoping there are others here on the site that have beat the game, as it’s definitely a game that you could spend hours debating and theorising! Anyone played it and have their thoughts? 
 
If I had to put a score on it, I would give it an 8.5/10! 

Sorry that’s what I meant, I thought everyone’s map was procedurally generated for them, rather than be able to pick and choose what map you play! 
 
In that case, my favourite map is my own 🤣

Some more snaps from my Alan Wake 2 playthrough, getting towards the end now …

A couple of snaps from Silent Hill: The Short Message

Xbox games have always been available on PC, I think it's pretty scummy Sony don't do the same. 
 
I think the future will be cloud gaming and I don't buy the no competition for Sony argument, its all about publishing games now, that's where the competition resides imo
 
 

Sea of thieves and grounded are 2 games I would pick up gladly!

hi-fi Rush alone is a must-play.  That was one of my top three games from 2023.  It's a great game with, an awesome soundtrack, and wicked gameplay.    Grounded had a unique premise, ad try as I might, I just can't get into the whole survival genre.
 
Give it a few, and they'll retract on not putting Starfiled multi-platform. 

Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, and Grounded are coming to PS5 and Nintendo Switch!
 
Definitely seems like these 4 games are the ‘trial’ run, I’m sure we will see more Xbox exclusives on PS5 shortly after these 4! 
 
Microsoft has also confirmed they will still be releasing future Xbox consoles. 
 
If you don’t own an Xbox, I would definitely recommend Hi-Fi rush, a fantastic game! 
 
Microsoft: four Xbox-exclusive games are coming to PS5 and Nintendo Switch - The Verge
WWW.THEVERGE.COM Microsoft is starting out small but has big ambitions.  

Whilst I agree that it’ll be good for PS5 owners, I think it’s important to consider that IF Microsoft/Xbox do pull out of the console hardware market, then who challenges PlayStation? What’s stopping Sony from charging £700 for the PS6? Nintendo aren’t really trying to compete at the high end powerful console level, so it would just be PlayStation.
 
Xbox are in a really difficult position, by focusing so much on Game Pass they have cornered themselves into this position. Particularly with a lot of their most popular franchises being multiplayer (Gears, Halo, now COD), these games benefit from having a large player base … best way to get that is to have them on all consoles.
 
We need to see what Xbox say about these rumours next week, but right now I am worried for the future of the video games market if this is all true.

I enjoyed Splatoon 2 but never put too many hours into it! This game is definitely similar, however in Splatoon the modes tended to focus on which team can cover the map with the most ink, whereas here it is more focused on the typically death match and other objective modes. 
 
It’s 4v4 modes at the moment with a coop mode too! 
 
 

@WelchyTV I think you must have been too happy the day you made your predictions!

wow! I’m not last 😂

Ok so it’s time for an update, as we now have 3 games with an OpenCritic score!

8 reviews for Suicide Squad now, OpenCritic score is currently at 60. A long way to go but if it stays at this score, that’ll be +5 points for @J4MES OX4D and -2 points for myself and @Andy_White_07!!

A couple of snaps from Silent Hill: The Short Message

I never played the Silent Hill games so I can’t really comment to that. However I did play PT and it does feel like this game has tried to recreate something similar, but PT is far superior.
