I've reinstalled Heroes of Might and Magic V and thoroughly enjoying it! 

Been playing XCOM2 on my xbox during the lockdown as well. Both are bit old now but still enjoyable. 

Heroes OM&M2 was always my favourite. I love the challenge of raising sense of ghosts.

Just bought myself a mid life crisis gaming PC and spent 3 hours immersed in Red Dead Redemption 2 last night. Jeez, gaming has come on a bit! I played a few PS3 games back in the day but apart from a few games of Fifa against my boy I've been totally out the loop.

Also got Assassin's Creed Odyssey which i'm not really sold on yet. And it came with Resident Evil 3 and Monster Hunter: World Iceborne which really don't seem like my cup of tea and 3 months of XBOX live game so Forza Horizons has had a few hours and looks great.

Also added GTA V since it's free on Epic Games from yesterday but i think that will be ignored until my 3 months XBOX sub is up.

My co-ordination on keyboard and mouse controls is a joke so it's a bit of a steep learning curve but the pace of RDR2 suits

Didn't they already do a remaster of THPS1? Seem to recall they stuffed it up somehow.

I spent an absurd amount of time playing TH 1-3, I'm almost afraid to buy a remake in case I never leave the house again

I have a love hate relationship with 7 days to die alpha 18 at the moment.
I hate how grindy and repetitive it can be and yet I can’t stop playing it.

I'm currently borrowing a PS4 and I'm reeeeeeally hoping they don't want it back before the end of the year, so I can get this. It looks incredible and if they do as good a job as they did on the Crash Bandicoot re-boot, we're in for a treat. 

Nearly completed Uncharted 2 (finally!) was going to rinse through 3 and 4 before I start The Last of Us, but since The Last of Us 2 is due out next month, I'm going to take a break from Uncharted and do the Last of Us once I've completed Uncharted 2. 

all these, and MSG should keep me busy until Sept.

I'm getting good at cod mw now, but the skill based matchmaking makes unlocking the camos hard because I get sweaty lobbies full of pro-spec classes.

Was disappointed the ff7 remake was only the start of the game so won't bother yet. 

Rumours abound (again) about a diablo 2 remake...

Picked up playing the Remastered Spyro this weekend. Such an enjoyable game, no wonder I loved it when it first came out 20 years ago.

Just fired up RDR2 last night for the first time in about 2 years.Forgotten just how great it is. I must have put in well over a 100 hours and still not finished Chapter 2! I think I've spent way too much time taking baths and playing poker!
Anyone got any tips for getting through it a bit quicker?

MrsF has got into God of War. I may not see the PS4 again for a while... Great game though

You mean American Fishing Simulator Pro? I didn’t even realise there were chapters!

Have you tried actually doing the missions?

have just bought maneater and have to say i have been enjoying it a lot (only at the starting area still so far).

if you ever wanted to play as a great white and be able to level up your shark and have some aspect of shooter/rpg elements too are you in luck with this game :-)

I’m loving BeamNG drive at the moment.  Great crash physics.  Car games are always too perfect and the cars unbelievably unbreakable.  However this game they crunch and bend and break apart.
