I think the Persona games are good RPGs and don't see the appeal in turning them into fighting and rhythm games.

Atlus was smart and made P4A a visual novel with occasional fight scenes using an established system from a good developer but made even more casual and easy by basically automating combos and poo poo. It is the most I've played a fighting game since Street Fighter 2 Whatever Version on SNES.

Holy poo poo, after 110 hours I FINALLY beat Persona 5. I really really liked it and honestly am still sorry to see it end but I can FINALLY move on to something else.

What should I play next: Horizon, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Pyre, Breathe of the Wild or one of the many other options I have? I'm leaning towards Horizon because right now where I'm staying pretty much has a small movie screen and Horizon seems like it's been awe inspiring on that.

Do you want to take a breather with a shorter game or dive right back into another 100 hour epic? Tomb Raider and Pyre are at the short end of the scale, Horizon in the middle, BOTW long.

Shadow of Mordor is a really cathartic game. I like sitting back and listening to the orcs talking about their day before I shank them one by one. Sometimes I let them live just cause it's that guy's lucky day.

I know people here are down on it but the reboot was one of my favorite games last gen, so I've been looking forward to it despite some goon hate.

Yeah, I was also leaning towards Pyre because I knew it'd be shorter and it's nice to play games when they're brand new movies

Rise of the Tomb Raider is pretty much an improvement on TR2013 in every way except the story, which is much weaker and doesn't really go anywhere. If you like the general flow of raiding tombs, platforming and no-scoping fools with the bow then you'll still have a good time. If you got the $$ then it's still probably the prettiest single game on PC.

The Endurance Mode DLC if you have it adds a little replay value and is definitely worth checking out also.

Horizon is prettier than Rise unless you have a super beefy PC and even then I think Horizon's art design still puts it over the top. It has better bow mechanics and combat and story and...

I don't know many people who are "down" on it. I have yet to see anyone who says it just outright sucks. It's just not as good as the first one, but it's still a solid game. Rise is still worth at least one playthru.

I'm glad Naughty Dog basically decided to just straight-up copy+paste Tomb Raider even more than they usually do because it means more Tomb Raider at the end of this month!

Drawing a blank. Is the DLC for UC4 near the end of this month? I haven't had time to notice if it actually got a release date.

It's been out for over a year, a price drop after that long isn't ridiculous

Pyre is really, really fantastic and probably just what the Dr. ordered after P5. I think it's pretty short, I've been playing it for the past 2 days and I think I'm very near the end.

The controls are worse than TR2013, somehow. I don't know if they switched engines or were just super incompetent but Rise feels way more "floaty". And that was before I even played Horizon so I don't think I had just been spoiled.

Doom has seemed to be almost permanently on sale since it's been released. It's right up there with Shadow of Mordor for "I can't believe not everybody on earth owns this game already."

Bethesda has enough business sense to permanently discount their games. Doom was $20 by black Friday last year, if not earlier, so who the hell expects to sell anything at $60 after that just drop it to $30. See Dishonored 2 which is $40.

If it had one flaw, I was sad that Horizon's gearing system wasn't that robust. There was no reason to really focus on more than one or two outfits, I hoarded bunches and bunches of useless mods, and the cool armor only unlocks right before the end of the game

PSA: If you preorder Sonic Mania on PS4 you get three themes, but they're all static and use the default PS4 dashboard music. Very disappointing.

Honestly the best argument I've seen against playing tomb raider right now is that Uncharted thing that's coming out because I'll probably wanna play that on launch and it'd be better to distance a game that similar to it.
