No Show 25 on Gamepass this year.

I just saw that and no PS4 either, but still coming out on the Switch. I'll be curious to see how sales are on the Xbox this time.

Starting to feel that there are three truly great character in the series. The two dwarven brothers, Brock and Sindri and Mimir the head with some of the best dialogue in the game.

You would be correct with that statement.

The employee who worked on GOW Ragnarock that designed the Sigil Puzzles (the pink arrows you set fire to areas to access areas) should be waterboarded. Then waterboarded some more. Then forced to drink a gallon of water right after.

It's so hit an miss, even when you learn afterwards that you can multiply 3 times in the same space, with no penalty, to make the circle rounder.

There's no mention of them switching from Unity to a better engine, so I wouldn't count on any graphical improvements.

Agreed. Unity has never been an engine to showcase graphics with one HUGE exception. Ori and the Blind Forest and Will of the Wisps. Both won awards for art design and direction.

Yes, but they're animated games. They're not mimicking real life.

Finished God of War story. Still plan to do some of the side stuff, like defeating the last three Valkyries. The first one I fought was brutal and took like 30 tries as I was underpowered. Great story but the kid got on my nerves, especially after finding out what he was. I know that was the intention and it worked. A little too scripted on the fight with the boss throughout. Too many "press button" actions in said fights. Map and navigating were excessively slow to get around and too much backtracking. Someone on the dev team has a weird fetish with riding up and down lifts that move at a snails pace.

I actually enjoyed the puzzles and figuring out how to manipulate your way around areas more than the actual combat. Combat was fine and had a descent amount of enemies but was a step down from the combat in Horizon Forbidden West for me. A solid 8/10 that would have been a 9 if not for the backtracking and slow pace in areas.

Now starting GOW Ragnarok.
