I'm very much looking forward to this - it's by team that made Until Dawn and has the same 'choices matter' mechanics. It's like an interactive Friday The 13th gane
Not like it's a triple price from how it's always been though?

I meant in relation to everything else and what they cost especially now.
I mean yeah but they've cost more or less the same for about 40-50 years at this point, and if you adjust for inflation - even more.
It's not a new phenomenon, realistically. Not saying it's good - with how widespread technology is becoming you'd expect the opposite to happen, but...

I know mate, I remember Street Fighter 2 on the SNES being the first cartridge to cost over £60. With the AAA studios and development costs I wouldn’t be surprised if by next generation there is a full on push towards digital and cutting the production costs of physical releases
Mate I haven't bought a physical copy of a game for about 15 years lol Only exception for me is honestly Diablo 3, but as I preordered it - I basically got a box with a digital key and other goodies, no CD's or anything, as I don't actually have a CD drive on my PC, haven't had in ages. No point.
Bought nephews Horizon: Zero Dawn (for PS) a year or two ago and felt weird tbh. lol

Look at the success of Steam, the consoles will eventually go that route and of course streaming/cloud . Personally I like some physical releases particularly for IPs I really like and I always like a good box art.
I like the option they give right now to be honest - if we both love the same IP/franchise, you can get the physical copy (and/or stuff that comes with it), whereas I can get the digital one with the same/similar/other goodies. It gives you decent options about something that you're shelling a good amount of your own money for. Provided you have no microtransactions afterwards of course, but that's a different story....
One of my all time favourite game series. So happy to see this announcement.

He announced it on his blog on April Fools, stating that April Fool's is a silly tradition:
April Fools' 2022
Apr 01, 2022For 18 years the Grumpy Gamer blog has been April Fools' day free because it's a stupid tradition.
So to mix things up a little I'm taking this opportunity to announce I've decided to make another Monkey Island.

I have the original on my xbox live arcade account, and it is amazing that the atmosphere the game generates still holds up today!
Is Elden Ring still busted on PC? Don’t want to pay £60 for an unplayable game. Only got an Xbox One console and I’m naff on controller.
