I've played about seven or eight hours, I'm really enjoying it, it is damn good. 

 

I do think the user scores are it being love bombed by a very specific type of gamer, mind. 

 

Nerds love JRPG style games. I count myself in that. 

 

As a Final Fantasy enjoyer since the early 90s that has really disliked where the series has gone for the last 4-5 entries, this seems like it's a bit of a throwback. Looking forward to it.

Yeah absolutely, don't get me wrong, it's a good game and it'll appeal to basically everyone but that's sort of the point. 

 

So many genuinely good games these days get review bombed or attacked because the capital G Gamers find some reason to call them woke or get offended by some hint of inclusion or diversity in there somewhere. 

 

Where as Clair Obscur has you playing as a handsome but slightly nerdy white man leading a team of beautiful waifus that you can buy the deluxe edition to put in hot pants, fishnets and thigh highs. 

 

It's just that unlike terrible gooner bait slop like Stella Blade, Clair Obscur also manages to be a really good game that normal people will also enjoy.

Yeah you’re not wrong on that. I think a lot of the gaming community are just impressed that such a small team just made a passion project that looks like a huge studio made it.  Certainly not a typical goty contender but a refreshing change of pace

Can I also just say, the music in Clair Obscur is ****ing amazing

Currently stuck on Clair Obscura & possibly hit a wall. No spoilers but a boss fight outside a manor house. Ridiculously difficult but still a brilliant game.

Playing Shadow Man Remastered. A game I’d have like to have played back in the day on the 64 but I was a bit too young at the time.

 

A right maze of a game. Enjoying myself though.

 

Along with Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Crash N-Sane Trilogy, Doom 64, Quake 64 (1 and 2), Turok (1 and 2) I’ve been going through loads of late 90s games I missed out on. Bliss.

 

Wish the Rareware games of 90s would get same remastered treatment as Spyro/Crash. I’d be in heaven.

If you go to retro computer museum you can play the whole N64 back catalogue

Went the other day. Well worth it.

Currently working my way through the early stages of Jedi Survivor.  Decent start on Coruscant and the gameplay is very smooth but the world of Kodoh feels empty in comparison.

 

The map appears to be a big improvement over the original though so finding all those collectables for platinum shouldn't be too troublesome.

 

Hopefully there's more ups than downs with this one.  Fallen Order was inconsistent.

Not video game related but partial to a ww2 table top wargame called flames of war......the whole building and painting side of it as well. Video game wise drop in to stellaris console edition and Izonso (spelt wrong I think)
