Computer games.

Don't know why but couldn't get back off to sleep at about 3am this morning so I watched a full Mirror's Edge playthrough, such a relaxing experience. Mental how clean that game looked even in 2008.
Played it a tiny bit when it came out but didn't truly appreciate how fantastically great it looked for 2008/9 until 2022-3. "They don't make them like that anymore" etc.

Now that’s a trip down memory lane!

Loads of parkour/free running action.

Not playing unless Jay & Silent Bob are stood outside smoking up
Lol… Well, they’re in the new COD for some reason.

Anyone else played this yet? I'm absolutely addicted :lol:

So this has pretty much divided everyone, a proper love it or hate it game.

If you go in looking for an interesting story, compelling characters and deep lore, you are not going to get that here. The story elements feel pretty tacked on tbh.

It is, however, an absolutely ginormous open world, sand-box game that tries to be everything at once.
Huge open world with tons of places to explore, loot to find, Zelda-esque ruined puzzle temples to solve, Soulsbourne-esque hiden bosses, quests, bandit camps and the like as well as all of the minigames... ALL of them:
Hunting, mining, tree-felling, gambling, bounty hunting, fishing, arm wrestling, fighting tournaments, settlement building, trading, you name it, it's in there somewhere.

The combat is insanely good. Proper 'Just Cause' (with swords) style power fantasy chaos.

There are some bits that drag it down a bit. It tries not to hold your hand and let you figure stuff out by yourself, but there's so many mechanics that certain tasks end up feeling frustratingly confusing. The control scheme takes a LOT of getting used to and there is still a fair bit of jank here and there. They have patched a load of complaints already and are apparently looking to fix a lot more soon.

I'm having a great time despite the issues though!
