Has anyone played Suzerain? That and its DLC are the only game I’ve played at any real length this year. So much fun and (unlike far too many other games) doesn’t take a huge amount of time or effort off you but still has plenty of different paths to go down.

I LOVE Suzerain. Such a well-done little game. You've reminded me that I bought the DLC but have yet to play!

An hour and a half in, after avoiding all spoilers and resisting the temptation to play the demo.

I'm in love.

As expected, the Frasier reboot is just a big retread of the original series. That being said, it's actually not a bad way to spend half an hour. Like putting on a comfy old jumper.

First trailer for The Book of Boba Fett dropped today:

What a joke of a club.

I've started a Simpsons podcast with a friend of mine. We're looking at the maligned years of the show. Will it crush us? Quite possibly.

I haven't played Mafia in a long time, but why the hell not?

I'm trying to work through my backlog before getting a PS5 later in the year. Finished The Evil Within earlier.

It's fine, isn't it? Definitely no more than fine, but perfectly okay.

Amazon Japan seems to have suggested that the PS5 is coming November 20th. Some other accessories are due to come out about then, so it makes sense.

My wife bought me the game as a surprise yesterday. So psyched to play!

Completed Far Cry 5 after finishing Mortal Kombat (didn't get the DLC because if the cost but may in the future)

Felt Far Cry was good, you know what you're going to get but it did become a bit repetitive. 

Decided to start Judgement given my love for the Yakuza series just need to get back into the swing of the mechanics! 

I also finally got round to Far Cry 5 this week. It's good, I think, but I can't tell to what extent I'm actually enjoying it. I felt the same way about Far Cry 4. I do love the setting though.

Do you get Sky Sports Mix through Now TV? I'd imagine that will be the channel that will carry the free matches, along with the main Sky Sports PL one.

I read yesterday it would be on Pick. That's a Freeview channel, isn't it?

I've had the game since Friday, but haven't played yet. I have two essays due for my Open University course, so I'm keeping the game as a reward for finishing them.

It's fucking excruciating.

I've been playing IX the last few weeks. I never played it at the time, so very much enjoying it. Think I'm on to the equivalent of Disc 3 now. It's still not as good as VII, but infinitely better than VIII, which I always found to be a bit crap.

Might get the remaster though.

Saw TROS last night, and I actually really enjoyed it. A flawed film in many ways, but a fun one. I enjoyed parts of TLJ, but after rewatching it this week, I liked it a bit less. It's not as effective a deconstruction as I remember, and by the end degenerates into essentially a remake of Empire Strikes Back.

Anyway, hopelessly arbitrary rankings ahoy:

1. Empire Strikes Back

2. A New Hope

3. Rogue One

4. The Force Awakens

5. The Rise of Skywalker (although I'm sure this will drop as it fades from memory)

6. Return of the Jedi

7. The Last Jedi

8. Revenge of the Sith

9. Solo

10. The Phantom Menace

11. Attack of the Clones

Going through my Humble library and I realised that I have a lot of keys that haven't been redeemed. I have the keys to the following games up for grabs if anyone wants them (I either already have them or aren't interested):-

Chasm
Fluffy Horde
Regular Human Basketball
Soulcalibur VI
Sword Legacy Omen
Tannenberg
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 - Collector's Edition
Megal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain + Definitive Experience DLC + Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
Project CARS 2
Sniper Elite + Sniper Elite V2 + Sniper Elite 3
Hearts of Iron IV
Stellaris
Total War: WARHAMMER
XCOM 2

First come, first serve, one game each! Don't want anything in return 'tis the season after all.

Stellaris would be brilliant if it's still available!

I thought that was great fun. Like a Star Wars western.

New episodes will be out every Friday, including this one.

Finally bought Spider-Man. I am terrible at it. Hopefully this won't ruin my enjoyment.

Christ though, I'm awful.

2 is the best of the PS3-era games, but 4 feels like such a step up.

Been working my way through the Uncharted series over the last few weeks (I only ever played the first two), and started part 4 yesterday. I am totally hooked; such an absorbing game, and a real step up from the previous entries. Now I don't want it to be over ☹️

I'm with Niner. For whatever reason, I just couldn't get in to God of War. RE2 is bloody great though.

The first hour of God of War is amazing, then it sort of just grinds to a halt until after Alfheim. When it does pick back up, it's phenomenal until the finish. I'd keep on going if you've not reached that bit yet.

Basically if you've not met Mimir yet, keep going.

I have not - will try to power through.

So I've played 4-5 hours of God of War, and I just can't get in. Am I doing something wrong? Does it get better?

I'm basically at the point where the world opens up, and have played some of the first location, but it just isn't doing it for me.

I'm worried RDR2 has ruined games for me.

Bah. Bloody Konami.
