Can’t remember if I’ve asked this before but has anyone played Ghost of Tsushima? I’ve been interested in playing for a while but haven’t gotten around to starting.
Fantastic game. Truly breathtaking vistas and the art style really does make it stand out above so many of the trope-driven open world games.
From a design perspective, it reinvents a lot of things so that it doesn't feel like you're constantly travelling from a point of interest to yet another point of interest.
Combat, story, the lot. Looking forward to the second game that's recently been announced.

@SKT Ghost of Tsushima is one of my most favorite games. It's beautiful and fun. There is a sequel coming which looks like it will be equally as good. I know some people were upset because of the female protagonist but it's all loosely based on history.
Ah yes. The gaming community. I'd go on a rant but best I leave it for now.

@SKT I have played it several times maybe my favorite game of all times... Love everything about it, story, gameplay, visuals, music

@Nick I don't think I've actually every played the DLC. Time to play this again on PC instead of Playstation

I'm currently replaying Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5, with the Phantom Liberty DLC (didn't have it on my original play through).
Does anyone else like replaying their single player games? Unless I hated a game I generally do at least one replay a year or so later, I find I catch details in the story and characters behaviours a lot more, and I'm not obsessed with finding every hidden treasure, so I enjoy the story more.

@ManiacLachy that is one game that is definitely re-playable

One of my personal most hyped games ever (soz if I'm repeating myself from earlier in this thread).
But I could not play on launch because of how messy it was. I'm around 60% through it but still have to start the DLC mission(s).
Hope they get the sequel right from the off. At least we have Witcher 4 to look ahead to.
As for replaying single player games, yeah. I always go back to Bloodborne.

Ive just rekindled my love of Assassins Creed and playing Odyssey at the moment, Story is so good and love the history behind all the games. Buzzing for Shadows when it comes out next month..... Anyone else looking forward to this or is it just me?
Enjoyed Origins immensely.
Shadows and Ubisoft having a hard time at the moment sadly.

@GardenState Ace. Glad to hear it. Im hoping for a "Shadowrun" slash noir detective sort of vibe. Definitely got my weekend sorted

@GardenState Nice! I haven't played it personally but you really can't go wrong with a little 40k.

@Nick I'm sure 2077 has been discussed in here, as a newbie it was a bit hard for me to catch the whole thread. The pre-launch hype struck me a bit over the top and could only lead to disappointment, so I didn't jump in. Then came the bugs! I waited about a year or so after launch before my first play, and I can see further improvement on this 2nd run through. It is a massive game!

@GardenState
If you like 40k at all you’ll probably enjoy it. It’s more rpg oriented than space marine 2 which I considered a standard hack/slash/shooter.Since my primary game of destiny 2 seems to be coming to a quick end after so many years, have been looking at other things out or coming out. Helldivers is still fun to jump into with the homies a few times a month but I’m really interested in wukong as well as the Indiana jones game.
I haven’t been playing much as I’ve been spending a ton of time painting my 40k models and playing that when possible.

It's not quite 'No Mans Sky' levels of redemption but the game is in a top tier state now.
I think, infamously, the hype crushed it at launch because of the fragmentation within CDPR regarding the games identity during development.
Was it a sandbox open world GTA clone or a story driven narrative heavy experience? Defo landed nearer the latter but the gaming community expected this ultra-immersive city that they could 'live in'.
RPG elements were a mess also at launch.
Really do think it's a great game but do hope the sequel has more to offer in terms of the open world.
