Hell yeah, can't wait to start this after work today!

It is so good. Everyone should give this a try and support these devs. This kind of creativity and quality is what the game industry needs more of.

I am stuck between playing this or the days gone remaster this weekend.

I never played the original days gone and it was sitting in my library for years

You’re in for a treat with DG. Amazing game

jznrpg23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Days Gone is a little slow in the beginning as you are fairly weak and your motorcycle is a clunker. Once you upgrade your skills, weapons and motorcycle a little bit, it is a lot of fun.

Also, once you get past the starter camp, the story opens up and is better.

Just wait until you come across your first horde—it is terrifying even in the later game. The biggest change I was hoping they would make to the game (which, in my opinion, severely detracted from the survival horror element of the game) is that gas canisters and gas stations contain unlimited gas. It would have ramped up the tension even further if this had been a limited resource. I would have even appreciated an option to toggle on/off, but there was not one. Otherwise, it's a fantastic game! Enjoy!!

I loved the beginning, especially going down ramps to save on fuel. Much more engaging. Stopping at random pits to look for supplies can be quite rewarding.”

Day Gone is a open world where the driving around is actually fun instead of a chore.

Trying to decide if I play this or Lunar Remastered next. It’s hard for me to pass up Lunar but I might.

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy for me. Picking it up from Best Buy next week.

jznrpg23d ago

If there was a PS5 version I’d get it right away. My kids have overtaken my Switch lately so I still haven’t got to Xenoblade X yet. When they stop playing I’ll play those 2 games.

Yui_Suzumiya21d ago

That's awesome. Also, a visual novel of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club released on the eShop / Steam along with a physical version for Switch from Japan that has English subs. So I'm definitely getting that because Nijigasaki is my favorite iteration of the Love Live franchise. I'm one of the few 42 year old Texans that enjoys Love Live and other idol anime, lol.

The craziest thing about it is that it was made with a development team of 30. How many employees do the big studios have? The likes of Ubi, EA etc couldn't dream of ever producing a game as good as this. Veilguard was the last RPG I played and this game is in a completely different league to that, how many employees did Bioware have working on that? Sandfall have wizards on their payroll or something to create something so amazing with just 30 employees. My GOTY so far by far and I'm only 8 hours in.

There is a thing called 'outsource'.

Flewid63823d ago

I wouldn't go that far, but it is very very pretty

Perhaps Sandfall can hold a special weekend, where they can invite Ubisoft and teach them how to make great games.

neutralgamer19921d 7h ago

Only thing they want to learn is how to rip off their consumers even more

The_Hooligan1d 7h ago

Haha it will be like the student has become the master.

Ghostwood9h ago

AAAA almost 40 years in the business Ubisoft can learn a thing or two from this brand new developer lol

They gave Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 a 10, nice! Usually Edge are pretty tough critics.

coolbeans1d 8h ago

I don't know. Giving Lost Records: Bloom & Rage a 7 is insanely generous. I'd probably cut that score in half. lol

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s Humor Walks a Line Often Crossed

Clair Obscur finds levity in despair, using quiet humor that feels lived in, where laughter reflects survival more than it does comic relief.
