Shadow Tactics isn’t on GP anymore so go with Desperados

Donut County was great fun, like an inverse Katamari game. It has a level select after completion, which I used to get a few achievements I missed. Have just started Desperados 3, seems excellent so far. I was a huge fan of Shadow Tactics and this is very similar so far,

I do. I played the shit out of the first games MP. It was incredible!

As far as I know it’s not the auto HDR thing, as when I booted the game with HDR on (have to turn it off for Cyberpunk lol) it had HDR options where you have to set the paper white level and peak brightness etc. However there doesn’t appear to be a way to go back to those settings in the menu.

Playing this from scratch on the Series X while my son is playing my Switch version. It looks so much better on Xbox, 60fps and a much better resolution. Not 100% sold on the HDR implementation, varies between appearing great and then a bit washed out. Looking back at the Switch version (which I thought great on release) in either handheld on docked and it looks so blurry, presumably 30fps and the longer load times. It’s also still incredible and up there as one the very best JRPGs of the last 5-10 years.

FUUUUUUUUUCK!! Second season was consistently brilliant and the last episode was the best Star Wars thing since the last 30 mins of ESB. Completely and utterly nailed it!

Monster Train is

Also should of mentioned Santorini, would suit both your cases. I got it from @Pelekophoros on here and really love it. You can start off with the easy god powers and introduce complexity when more comfortable.

Codenames Duet, Azul and Carcassonne are games I introduced to my parents and went down well.

What a total bore this race is

I read there’s an option to change the skip dialogue command to a button hold which solves this problem. At work right now though so can’t check for sure.

I’m still finding this really overwhelming, especially in combat. Just using the scan function so much micro text appears on the screen it’s really putting me off using it for ‘quick’ hacks when I could just of shot someone in half the time.

Had to turn off HDR on Series X, everything looked far too bright and washed out.

Only played for an hour on Series X and it seems good so far. It’s nice and smooth but detail in the background and some textures look ropey. Indoors and character models look decent though. Had a few minor bugs (including the floating guy pictured above) but nothing major at all. Combat and stealth seemed fine and was pleasantly surprised, contrary to what I read here, that car handling was absolutely fine. The best thing though? It has an actual manual in the box! Having a break so I can read that as I really don’t know anything at all about the game or game world. Some postcards to
