I would love to see one more Arkham game.  I've played Asylum and City many times over. Arkham Knight is hard to get through because the car combat is such a drag. I'd even settle for a digital release of Arkham Origins.

I wish was still into story driven games. Arkham collection is $6 on PSN right now, but I know I won't play it much.

I got Topspin 2K25 this morning for $15.

The new Lego Batman is an Arkham game in all but name.

Just did the Reed ending in the main game after you stop Somi.

No happy endings here. Quite strange when you're used to winning at the end of most games.

Very melancholy.

Wow the 1tb Play pro micro sd card express is £210 on amazon, reduced from £280

I swear the price has actually inflated and gone up a lot.

When it was first listed it was way lower.

Bit bummed out.

The last ending I got in Cyberpunk was the most miserable. Everything sucks.

Sad way to end things. The Panam ending seems to be the best.

Anyone a No Man's Sky fan?

I've been watching videos around it for ages but I can't seem to pull the trigger on this game.

It looks a bit aimless to me and I fear the blandness of procedural generation.

The base building seems like something that's too much faff to me.

I'd like something more story focused. What's the gameplay loop?

No man's Sky has a main story path to follow and quest line. I didn't follow it much yet but it's there for people that prefer some kind of progression. I wouldnt expect the story to be anything like Cyberpunk, though.

Or you can just go explore, craft things.

I play it mostly to zone out and explore and fly around in my spaceship.

It has a steep learning curve.

When I first got it on PS4, I was confused on what to do and how. But they've added a lot more quests that act as tutorials that teaches the basics much better these days.

I read the story mode is around 80 hours.

Hello Games next title, Light No Fire, looks amazing. Everything takes place on a single, but massive world.

Hope the gameplay differs from NMS. That game had too many menu's.

I briefly tried No Man’s Sky awhile ago when it hit Game Pass but it didn’t grab me at the time. May give it another try.

I didn't have an issue with the menus. They were all fairly easy to navigate, especially with the gyro mouse pointer.

GG, NMS does support gyro during gameplay and menus. And touch screen.

I've played just over three hours of Ghostbusters Remastered (PS4) today, and it's great. The more I play, the more I'm enjoying it. It does a good job of capturing the spirit of the original films. Having you play a rookie 5th Ghostbuster works well. There's lots of elements from the first two films in this game, and expands the lore quite a bit too. It looks nice at 4K with lots of detail, except for the pre-rendered cutscenes between chapters; those look rough.

Thanks guys.

There used to be a NMS switch 1 demo but it was withdrawn.

There are some games where the demos just disappear like Okinawa rush.

It was decent but absurdly difficult. I had to play on the lowest difficulty.

Was playing DK Bananza in bed.

Now I've done Cyberpunk I started concentrating on it. Immediately brought back that sense of fun and the joy of animations paired with control, to make the base.moment to moment gameplay fun.

I did the hamburger level last night and it was so much fun. Also the battery life is much longer playing this. I played over 2 and a half hours and still had 34% battery left.

The screen also seems much more impressive in clarity, resolution, colour pops like the OLED and running smoothly at 60fps helps.

I then played Hogwarts Legacy handheld too and while a touch less sharp it still looks great once I fixed the screen brightness.

DLSS once again? It feels more impressive seeing graphics like this on a handheld.

Oh High on Life got a free Switch 2 upgrade that seems pretty good. Hope it goes on sale.
