Genuinely gobsmacked at what I've played this weekend. Nothing else on the PS5 has got a look in as I've worked my way to the Platinum.
Just absolutely wild adventure, inventiveness, the playfulness of an Odyssey with the fan service of a Smash Bros, but because it is more focused, it is far stronger in that regards.
I genuinely can't fault it. Maybe the monkey suit didn't need two levels but that's about it. The most reg game of all time and I adored it. Now to play the other shite on this console.

The dialogue system was cute at first but I didn’t enjoy the slow walking through the areas. They just weren’t very interesting and yeah...I’m surprised I bounced off it as hard as I did.
Still glad I played it, though. Just about.

On numerous occasions the game requires you to do things that probably wouldn't be your preference if multiple choices were on offer. It's not a choose your own adventure though, your decision is whether you choose to take part in Ellie & co.'s adventure! I didn't like a lot of the choices that were made for me, and I absolutely hated taking part in a particular scene towards the end, but It'sAllInTheGameYo.gif.

Perfect little indie puzzler with a lovely aesthetic and I really like the voiceover work. Not terribly taxing, a few head scratchers, more about finding all the hidden chests that adds time to the proceedings. A coincidence that my second “finished” game is by Hello. And for my first platinum (so definitely easiest way to get one if that’s your thing).
Edit. It’s my third game this year. God of War was second.

Yeah but what did you think of Bugsnax. That's what everybody is interested about.

That's pretty disappointing. Early days for me (couple of hours in) but it does feel pretty rough around the edges. Hopefully there's some decent guides available by the time I get to the asshole boss fights.
