Anyone played signalis? Looks right up my street... 

I was looking at that for my cousin, didn't get him it as I undersand it's like No Mans Sky, and requires you to be online at all times to play

You can play NMS offline.

Is it? I thought it was single player and no Internet needed... 

I like games that use dreamlike logic, and signalis seems to have that in spades. I've avoided all reviews in case they spoil it but if anyone here has played and likes it I'll get it for Christmas.

I'm not sure, I got the impression that you did from what I've read.  Though I'm hoping that my cousin is discharged  from the hospital before it is released.

Finally finished Callisto Protocol - really enjoyed it (even with the wonky and unfair mechanics). Will revisit it once the DLC drops.

TBF, it's not a very long game....! Most of it was done on my day off last week

I’ve bought Red Dead 2 on sale on Steam. I had it on PS4 but didn’t get too far. Like many other players I found it a bit clunky but I’m a open world fan so need to give it another go. I’ve never liked the locked in mission system in Rockstar games though. Especially as you can’t save during playing them. Seems counter to the open work free roam thing to me. 

I’m going to try it on my steam deck too.

It works reasonably well on Steam Deck.  Think I've got it running on low settings at 720p and locked at 40fps.  Might be able to get higher frame rates using FRS but I'm happy with it at 40fps so I've not tried it.

I’m back on Forza Horizon 4.  I prefer it to 5 and the Series X version looks great.

I'm on Lego Star wars The Skywalker Thingy.

Actually both some lovely familiarity, and moving the Lego games thing on.

I'm still being bored stiff by God of War 2.

I prefer it to 5 too. I much prefer the stronger differential in the seasons, and the map is much more interesting. I just wish it was bigger.

Caved and got the new cod. Multiplayer is excellent.

But... Ground war is not. It's like it doesn't fully render or the draw distance is short. I assume it's better on ps5...

Yeah agree on the weather.  That sunshine whiles raining really captures the Lakes.  The ice / snow is great too.  Is a bit limited in scale compared to 5.

Do you mean Ragnarok? I'm not thrilled with it either, it just seems like the same game but you can chuck your axe at more stuff than before.

Gravity Rider Zero, honestly wasn't expecting anything from it as I only bought for £0.89 off the Nintendo eShop to round up my main purchase - Castlevania Advance, to a tenner.  It's bloody brilliant, it's basically a Nintendo version of the Xbox game Trails, a physics based ''racing'' games where you have to navigate obstacles both without falling off of your vehicle - there are more than just bikes to race with, within time limits, and against other racers to come in 1st place.
