What We Played – Slitterhead, Metro Awakening & PS5 Pro

It’s at all times enjoyable getting an enormous new console launch, and whereas the PS5 Pro hasn’t sparked fairly as a lot pleasure because the PS4 Professional, thanks in no small half to the value, it’s nonetheless an fascinating little bit of package. I’ve nonetheless solely scratched the floor with our overview unit thus far, however am pulling collectively the assorted gameplay comparisons that we want for our overview. So I’ve performed numerous video games in 10 minute sections, then modifications some graphics settings and achieved it once more, then switched console and achieved it once more…

It has been…. repetitive, with my solely respite coming within the hour-long session I had with Project ARC.

So let’s leap on over to the rather more fascinating gaming that everybody else has been getting as much as. Ade has performed a bit of little bit of Helldivers 2, has been reviewing Redacted, however has primarily spent a really sophisticated sport of actual life Tetris as he places his life in packing containers in order that he can transfer home subsequent week – “It’s annoying and complicated and I actually can’t suggest. ????”

All one of the best with the transfer!

There’s a lot much less transferring and shaking for Jim, who’s been locked in on Black Ops 6 multiplayer – “My fight report is displaying a a lot improved kill/demise ratio now that I’m beginning to memorise map layouts and familiarize yourself with the quicker participant motion. There are some issues about COD that by no means change, nevertheless, with squad mates fully ignoring aims to allow them to work on their killstreaks being one among them. Nonetheless, I’m having an immense quantity of enjoyable and might’t look forward to the primary large content material drop.”

Aran’s been on the Last Fantasy XVI warpath nonetheless, grabbing all of the DLC and finishing Echoes of Fallen already. He’s now transferring on to the Rising Tide DLC, and located the brand new powers to be quite helpful. He additionally dipped a toe again into Hydrophobia: Prophecy for a glance again characteristic, and began replaying the fantastic Tearaway on his Vita.

Nic loves three sorts of video games: monster video games, card video games and strolling round video games. So… he’s clearly been enjoying a variety of Pokémon TCG Pocket this week, whereas having fun with all of the delights of getting a 6-month previous. “Nice little sport that’s enjoyable to dip out and in of. I’m considerig writing a overview this afternoon (if I can discover the time).”

As for our resident horror acolyte, Steve? Nicely, he was naturally readily available for Slitterhead, “a sport that can undoubtedly discover a cult following however had too many points for me to price it as extremely as I assumed I might from the type alone. I feel it’ll be a kind of (just like the not too long ago remastered Shadows of the Damned) that’ll be the spur for many retrospectives and YouTube video essays and I’ll nearly definitely be doing one thing with it academically relating to the setting and blood powers.

After which he has Mario & Luigi: Brothership arriving at present for a complete change of tempo on some upcoming commutes.

Gamoc has been enjoying Phasmophobia some extra, “which takes ages to familiarize yourself with as a result of there’s too many ghosts, however continues to be enjoyable in a deeply scary means. Doesn’t assist that there’s solely two of us enjoying both.”

And rounding issues out for the week, Tuffcub had a bloody nice time with Metro Awakening in PSVR 2, which had him so wrapped up within the terror and suspense that his flatmate was shouting at him to cease screaming!
