Searching through the backlog to find a game that catches my eye. Looks like it'll be on PS4 unless I choose LEGO Horizon Adventures or pick up a PS5 game.

That one is getting a lot of hype. Any of you guys planning to venture into the Crimson Desert at launch? I'm interested but won't buy until I learn more.

Last week: Finished Dead Island 2.
This week: Started Planat of Lana 2, waiting on Crimson Desert.
PoL2 is on Gamepass (as was the first one, which was excellent). Just started it, but so far so good. Dead Island 2 was a really good time overall. It wasn't perfect - the difficulty spikes in the last quarter of the game, but really only for the optional missions. Leveling up gets you extra power-ups and power-up slots, but later on in the game leveling up actually hurts you more than it helps because enemies level up with you and your weapons are less effective the lower they are in comparison to your level. However weapons drop like candy so that's never really an issue. Story was surprisingly decent for a zombie game, smashing zombies was always a good time, and I had no major technical issues (I think one crash in my entire playtime, which if I had to guess was probably 40-50 hours). Well worth the $7 I paid for the complete edition, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for some good dumb fun. It also has 4-player co-op that I didn't get to play but sounds like a blast.

It probably should have been in the title, but I overlooked it. And that is to say I don't really know much about it for whatever reason.canedaddy wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2026 11:50 amThat one is getting a lot of hype.

Loving Planet of Lana 2 so far. It doesn't stray too far from the original gameplay-wise, but that's fine by me. These games really feel like 2D spiritual successors of the ICO/SotC/TLG games. They do just as amazing a job at conveying a story using a made-up language that they never bother to translate. And the games are just as puzzle-focused as those games are. If you guys haven't played the first, I highly recommend checking it out. And if you have & enjoyed it, it's a safe bet you'll like this one too. Just picks up & continues the story from where the first game left off.
