In complete opposition to stuff like The Order: 1886 is this game "screened".

Reminds me of the stupidly addictive Super Meat Boy, with the best soundtrack since Hotline Miami - and it was written in 48 hours!

any ps4 recommends? I have destiny and shadow of mordor at the mo

The Last Of Us : Remastered should be the first thing you seek out - best game of the past 5 years and looks beautiful on PS4

I'd also recommend picking up Watch Dogs on the cheap (£13 for the special edition in Grainger Games ATM)

Local independent game shop had 1886 for £54.99 !

Sleeping Dogs isn't even a little bit garbage.

It's just shy of GTA for me.

I'm with Ijjy.

Sleeping Dogs is ace. The graphics are showing their age, but the fighting is utterly ace. There's nothing more fun than slamming an enemy's head into a giant fish tank.

I'll get The Order when the price drops a bit. It may be a bit short, but I'm fed up with games being padded out with collectables and crappy fetch quests anyway.

The graphics are supposed to be incredible too.

haha, it does amuse me when CEX has 2nd hand games more expensive than new ones on amazon!

had last of us on ps3 and just could not get into it, found it a bit of a slog...maybe should try again

It's 80% prerendered cut scenes, 15% QTEs and 5% Gears of War cover shooter.

Fantastic graphics like.

I'll get it when it's 15 quid just because I love steampunky stuff and it looks gorgeous.

But it sums up what's wrong with AAA gaming; all the focus on selling it to the consumer, but not caring about whether or not they'll get their money's worth.

It just boggles my mind how devs still use QTEs as well. I've played about 2 games that use them well and probably 100 that use them awfully. They don't work and stop you from enjoying a cut scene and from feeling in control too, as there is no agency. They're the worst of both worlds.

I couldn't either mate.

Could totally appreciate that it was a good game but couldn't engross myself in it.

Though it's not Steampunk per se, just has a lot of Steampunk stylings.

It's nerdy stuff that only meganerds like mate.
