Rain on Your Parade

In this game you are a cloud that has to rain on stuff through a sequence of small stages. It has some cool ideas but it's always so simple and uninteresting for the most part. You'll get powers but they never explore the mechanics to their potential.

It's a collection of underdeveloped ideas, maybe cool for a small child, but at the same time it has a stage that's a Metal Gear parody, so I'm not sure who's their target audience.

The art style is fine, same for music. It runs well and didn't encountered a single bug but it's just too shallow. I feel that if they had gone with a sandbox Goat Simulator style game they could have something special here, dividing it in small stages was a bad decision.

If you enjoyed Donut County you might enjoy it.

@scotty Impossible! 😁

@scotty I was having my doubts about getting a PS5 but that's the final incentive I needed.

Outriders

Went for this game expecting it to try it for a bit and give up, just like with Destiny, Division 2 and even Borderlands. To my surprise I loved the combat so much that I had to beat the campaign. It helps that it has a competent story and cast of characters and also that the world keeps getting more and more interesting as you progress.

Played most of it solo but did some missions co-op and the already great combat becomes even better with the synergies between players. Great freedom in how you build you character, and it lets you reset you ability tree any time.

Lots of glitches and bugs, specially in cut-scenes. I feel this could have been even better if given more time.

7.5/10

Funny thing in how I play a looter shooter. The game gives you a ton of inventory space, plus a chest to keep your favourite gear. I ended the game with one pistol, one rifle, one machine gun and one shotgun. Same for clothing. That's actually the most annoying thing about it, I don't care at all about the constant loot.

@dipset Jason initial report talked not just about Days Gone but much wider issues/changes. Usually Jason is not a BS and relies heavily on several direct sources. So I really have no reason to doubt anything he reported or to dismiss him over what one person said. A bit after his initial tweets he even said this this was not about games but about people not happy with the changes within Sony.

@el-shmiablo

I would go for Disco, seconded by Days Gone.

@bam541 Yes, that's exactly it.

This game is such a fun mess.

Looks like a cover shooter but doesn't play as one. Is a looter shooter but doesn't make you grind and has a decent story and world to play as single player.

Finally played it co-op for a few missions, @paulmci27 it definitely pushes the game to the next level. I was enjoying the combat dance in single player but the interaction of playstyles between players in this game is so damn fun.
