      So I've been consumed with STARDEW VALLEY... You can not get better value for money... I mean you can get it for a fiver and spend hundreds of hours on it...
      It takes some time getting used to the controls (even on a PS5) and holy fucking iceskating jesus is there still a lot for me to discover but it's FUN and laidback af...

        Anyone play Baldur's Gate 3? I played 1 and 2 but this is a different animal, so hard! Would love to team up (cross platform is now possible with the new April patch)

          I think @EdH is also well versed, amongst others

          @AdamJ and I have been playing a lot of Helldivers 2 recently, anyone else?

            @Alex I love Helldivers but unless I get a really helpful and forgiving squad I’m kind of trash for the unit. I’m getting better though and enjoy the whole vibe of the game.

                Thanks @Alex!

                @scarfmace I haven't played BG3 for over a year - I never quite finished a playthrough, my problem is that I want to explore every nook and cranny and see all the possible permutations of my choices as I go, so I had like 5 characters on the go and got burnt out on it.

                Yes, it's hard, there's a lot going on mechanically and it can feel like if you aren't min-maxing your character you're falling behind. I'd say the #1 thing to do is try to take advantage of Advantage (the mechanic) whenever you can, as this makes a huge difference to your attacks actually landing.

                If you wanted to try and team up, I'd be game. I usually play from around 9:30-10pm in the evenings (UK time) for a couple of hours, work allowing.

                @Alex @AdamJ @SKT I'd be well up for some Helldivers 2 if you wanted to try and get an IH squad going as I haven't checked out yesterday's update to the game yet. I have most things unlocked bar the latest two Warbonds they released.

                Take the dive...

                    Balatro - Been getting back into this, and thought it was worth mentioning given that it is available on PlayStation Plus this month. Balatro's amazing, easily the standout game of this month's PS+ drop. It's a solitaire card game where you play poker hands to beat a series of increasingly difficult blinds. You get more points for harder poker hands. Complexity is introduced by Jokers - special cards that modify your point-scoring potential if you can play the right hands - and other modifiers that allow you to shape your deck to make your preferred hands more likely to appear. No knowledge of poker is required, it's just a brilliant little game, if you've got PlayStation Plus you have no excuse not to try it this month.

                    I have done 149/150 stakes now...

                    Had to reduce my efforts to one game a day to preserve my sanity but Black Deck/Gold Stake is diabolical 😢

                      @Alex Shooted my shot. 🔫 💪 (Flexed biceps probably the closest thing to the Helldivers salute.)

                        @EdH sounds fun and I appreciate the offer but I should probably play more to avoid embarrassing myself first.

                          @SKT If you need help building your characters, I suggest this guy's YT channel:

                          https://www.youtube.com/@Cephalopocalypse/

                          I found his guides very helpful in building characters that wouldn't just get immediately trounced. He has playlists for each class, party composition, etc. Remember that you can re-spec your class at any point for some gold (and you can pickpocket that gold straight back from the guy in camp that you use to respec, he doesn't give a fuck) if you feel you've made any mistakes in building your character.

                          How far into the game are you?

                            Expedition 33 is meant to be a masterpiece. But no idea when and if I'll play it.

                            All about Death Stranding 2: On The Beach and then Ghost of Yōtei (both PS5 exclusives). GTA6 being delayed is fine. Gives me time to plat BotW and TotK on Switch 2.

                            My back catalogue is a bit daft: Cyberpunk 2077 (I've now started Phantom Liberty). I still dip into Monster Hunter Wilds. Would love to start Black Myth Wukong.

                              @EdH oh not far at all and most of my guidance has been from a 14 year old smartass who takes great delight in teaching (and mocking) an “old man”. Thanks for the resources…I’ll study up and get back to you guys.

                                @SKT Oh, then definitely you should study up. Then you can turn the tables on your smartass 14 year old when you bust out an expression like "oh, you should have kept that character where he was because attacking from the shadows would have given you Advantage on that attack roll and you'd probably have been able to take out that summoner two turns earlier".

                                  @Nick Don't remind me - I want to replay the PS5 versions of Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding: Directors Cut before their respective sequels release...

                                  Basically everything on your list I want to play (save for the Zelda games). I also wanted to check out Stellar Blade, which I saw yesterday will have a complete edition releasing in a few months.

                                  There's way too much good shit out to play these days. I wouldn't care if GTA6 never actually comes out. Hell, the whole industry could take a fallow year and I would still be happy.

                                        This is the only Xbox exclusive that I was green eyed about, so surreal I'm playing on PS.

                                            @EdH Console wars was silly. Think Xbox are playing the long game. Cloud gaming. A world with no consoles and sadly no media other than the digital form. Paid subs to play games etc.

                                            They have always been 3rd behind Sony and Nintendo with hardware. Will be interesting to see how things pan out over next 10+ years.

                                            Still, Sony are kings of single player experiences.
