I started it and, to be honest, the first impressions weren't brilliant. It begins with a dull walk-and-talk sequence (you know the ones - slowly following someone down a corridor while they spout exposition) and then runs through the usual action setpiece combination of shimmying along beams, sliding down a slope on your bottom, grappling between platforms and a boss fight that keeps getting interrupted by cutscenes that add nothing. Then you've got several "squeeze through this narrow gap so the game has time to load the next skybox" bits. Then the story started to get a little more interesting and I landed on the first proper world, so I'm going to give it a bit more of a chance to hook me.

Now this could make things interesting moving forward. I hope so, anyway.

Ding also lost yesterday. Out of his eighteen World Championship appearances, he's only got past the second round six times, which is really strange when you consider his record in other tournaments. He lives in Sheffield as well, so it's not as if it's a case of travel fatigue.

Microsoft has confirmed that it will be on Game Pass on Thursday.

Unfortunately, you will be waiting a few years.

Selby is gone as well.

When I replayed Remake, I ignored all the side quests. I had a much better time.

Jedi Survivor has reportedly been added to EA Play in some regions today, which suggests that it should be on Game Pass very soon.

What a shame. That's two massive Wembley shootouts Coventry have lost in the space of a year.

What I find interesting is that some reviewers love the story and others find it utterly dull. It seems that they're in agreement that the gameplay is a bit 90s-esque, and so your enjoyment might hinge on how fond you are of games like Suikoden. As a game that was crowdfunded by Suikoden fans, that probably shouldn't be a surprise. It sounds as though it's doing what those people wanted it to.

VAR means that I don't love it.

I love it.

And all of a sudden, the FA Cup is exciting.

I have sympathy for a couple of the claims, but the reality is that Forest haven't done enough this season to avoid being in their current situation. If not for the fact that the three promoted teams are so poor, Forest would have no hope of survival at this rate.

That surely means that they can never get promoted to the EFL until it's sorted, in which case they'd only be playing to avoid relegation next year.
