Cyberpunk is an excellent choice. Outer Worlds goes on sale pretty often think, same with Cyberpunk, maybe keep an eye out.

Isn’t 60fps completely standard for video games these days, even indie games? Come on, Obsidian, you’re better than this

I loved Outer Worlds. Bit slow and lacking in content at points, but it’s got loads of charm and some fun, interesting characters. Solid 7-8/10

I might jump back into Deathloop soon when I rediscover free time (aka. never gonna happen, lol). It lacks the Compulsively-Save-Every-Five-Steps button, but it’s actually part of the gameplay and makes sense.

Otherwise:

• Doom
• Cyberpunk 2077
• God of War
• Horizon Zero Dawn (gets grindy)
• Guardians of the Galaxy
• Atomic Hearts
• Mass Effect (not ps5, just the best video game series ever created)

Time to meet Hanako at Embers

I’m far too broke and starved for time to really play and finish any games, but I did manage to start God of War and got impressively far (not really) into Baldurs Gate 3. Imma take it as win at this point.

How else will they be able to afford to develope GTA 6

Devs need to learn to stfu lest they paint themselves into a corner before the game is released.

Google is killing another project? Shocking

Am I really high or is George Yang an AI?

There are way too many games and way too many genres of games for there ever to be a single greatest gaming year

I looked at mine and got depressed, both because of how much and how little I played.

Anyways, time to go play Cyberpunk again.

What are they gonna do with that money, buy some new office paintings?

I guess the entire workforce calling the board incompetent twats and threatening to quit was actually effective.

Yeah, but the conversation still feels distractingly one sided and disconnected

I know it’s not a literal muteness, but it still feels like there is a disconnect between an unvoiced PC and voiced NPCs that respond to dialogue that was never spoken. Maybe I just struggle with projecting my own identity into a character that literally can’t talk, but I never feel connected or as immersed in games that don’t have a voiced main character.

It’s ultimately a purely subjective argument and there is no better method in the voiced vs unvoiced debate.

I think I’m the exact opposite. An unvoiced main character often feels incomplete and breaks my immersion. Unless there is a believable reason for the characters muteness.

Journey and A Short Hike should go on that list too

It’s a quote from the game.

I’m different!

One company owning, or trying to own, every business or studio in an industry is literally never a successful and positive thing. It will create a monopolistic vacuum that will ultimately destroy the quality of video games and drive the retail price up as Microsoft tries to leach as much money out of the industry as possible with the least amount of effort. Competition is absolutely critical to prevent this inevitable outcome.
