The other half of my time was spent watching recaps of things I did 20 minutes ago because the game desperately wants to be episodic.


The game is so riddled with tropes it’s hard to tell whether I played a demo or just any other game in the genre. He tells us, “I did not get that - instead, I spent half of my time wondering whether I had played this section before at EGX. In a bid to play something that doesn’t have Pokémon in it, Nic B downloaded Until Dawn, hoping for a decent horror experience. Jason has mostly played things he can’t talk about which is unhelpful to say the least, but also Rocket League, the Dark Souls 3 Cinders Mod, and some Streets of Rogue. “The former is a delight, the latter is great, but pretty fiddly and clearly designed for the big open rooms of US houses rather than my PC corner.” Steve’s also played some Monster Hunter Stories 2 and got to share his preview thoughts from time with the full the game – watch this space for his review – and a barrel load of VR titles to help him review a shiny HTC Vive Pro 2. Other than that, I spent some time back in Planet Zoo with some amazingly animated African animals, and then managed to not buy on buying Scarlet Nexus so that can finish some other games first! I’ve had time to play games this week! What a time to be alive! I’ve made a start on Monster Hunter Stories 2 via the demo, and just like Steve I have to say I love being able to carry on with the demo’s saved game when the full thing releases.
