The People's Forum: You think the cut scenes in the great circle are a bad thing?

I think they're brilliant. The whole story is tremendous.

Some of the moment to moment action in the game is so good. The Himalayas and Shanghai are absolute standouts. It does Uncharted better than uncharted at times.

The puzzles are just the right level of difficulty and variety.

I play a lot of PC games, don't like Dark Souls, and like RPGs with lots of numbers and equations and so on. Here are my entirely predictable opinons:

Indy: not good; cutscenes and curated "do this now" gameplay
Avowed: really fun, might scratch the PoE itch, has a decent story and a very well developed world (Pillars of Eternity; I know PoE means Path of Exile as well, so much creativity in video games these days...) Avowed is a ARPG not a cRPG
Baldur's Gate 3 - it's ok. It's not remotely as good as Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous (the first Owlcat Pathfinder, and their Warhammer 40k one, are good, but WoTR is great)
Atomfall - I was hugely disappointed. It's a bit janky, a bit twee, and the combat is just embarrassingly bad. It's short, is one good thing about it? (But I gave up after 90 minutes)
Disco Elysium is genius, up there with Planescape: Torment and Deus Ex.

its a nice wind down game for me

I need to get into Indy and Avowed, but Atom Fall is going to be my Easter game... although I have Baldurs 3 looking at me too

So many games, so little time

I also want to play path of exile 2, but I'll lose 10 years to it

The Last Case of Benedict Fox is also high on the list, I ignore reviews and just chat to my mates and work colleagues and its meant to be good.

fuck too many games

Oh and disco elysium

but yeah GamePass is great, I rarely buy games now (unless its by Fromsoft)
