  Ah interesting option, thanks! I’ve occasionally watched a few speedruns of it but I didn’t realise there’s whole first time playthroughs.

  That’s not really a problem with the game, but with your expectations. If I watch the film Alien expecting a comedy but it’s actually a horror I wouldn’t complain the film is overrated and not funny.

  A shame, but that’s cool. Not every game works for everyone. I can’t stand the Dark Souls games and it seems I’m in a minority on that one.

  Outer Wilds is so good. A perfect game for Switch. And the DLC included too, which was also superb.

  Pity they can’t release a way to erase the game from my memory so I can play it afresh. Half the point of the game (and DLC) is just figuring out what the game is. Because I already know what to do I’d just complete it in about 10 minutes so it’s sadly not worth me picking it up again.

  But anyone who hasn’t played it, please give it a go. It’s just wonderful.

  An hour of grinding - that they will also sell you powerups to help you skip that grind.

  Snowrunner. A great combination of both chilled-out & stressful, driving massive diesel trucks at 5mph through woods and rivers delivering logs or girders.

  The fact there’s no big story and almost zero dialog, just assignments and map markers mean it’s a superb ‘podcast’ game - something you can put it on while you listen to some podcasts / audiobooks.

  Not that the game is boring or just a distraction. It’s incredibly satisfying finding the best way to navigate through a horrendous woodland or swamp and get all your cargo through safely.

  Plus, it has some of the best landscape physics out there. Rushing water really feels accurate. Mud paths get distorted so that it’s harder to get through on your way back than before you churned it all up.

  A great game. 100s of hours I’ve sunk into that thing.

  Jonathan Blow can fit an awful lot of antivax, conspiracy theories and transphobic ranting into a 15hr commentary.

  I thought PS5 / XBOX versions were delayed to 2024, no?

  Cool, thanks for the valuable insights.

  You can’t replicate the cinema experience at home, regardless of how big your TV is or how impressive your audio setup is.

  Watching some epic sci-fi on the big screen, or communally experiencing some creepy horror movie, or a whole crowd of 100s laughing along together at a ludicrous comedy is something I don’t want to give up.

  Sure, a lot of films are fine to watch at home but with a decent audience the cinema experience can’t be beaten.

  Which is why RT scores were usually good. Because a RT percentage is just the percentage of critics that thought the film was good or better.

  Too many people treat RT scores as a single “this is a film that has a quality rating of 90%” whereas it’s “90% of critics think it’s not shit”.

  Really, this is RTs fault for picking a metric so often used in a different way.

  It’s a movie about a theoretical physicist who became a project manager.

  Not quite, but nice try. Better luck next time!

  Trakt is great because there’s loads of apps that use the API for it but your history is stored on Trakt so even if you swap to a different app you can still access that history.
