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.

Last post by BoomerSooner (Banned) - January 19, 2025 @ 12:32 AMFinished 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.

Nice to see it will be current gen only. If it looks as good as EA's golf game I will be happy. They only added two new courses and removed two. Only two international courses is underwhelming. They get the US Open, British Open and PGA Championship. No Masters as it is exclusive to EA.
The big problem will be if custom courses are not allowed in career mode, as was the case in 2K23. What is the point of being able to customize events and not be able to use a giant pool of custom courses?
It's sad that the only thing that really excited me was you can play as the actor who played Scooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore.
A big FU to 2k for giving players who pay $100+ for premium editions SEVEN days early access. You know EA sees this and is like, hold my beer. Madden 26 will have TEN days early access.
Also, another FU to me as I love golf games and will be buying the $99 version to play it early.

I'm not able to play anything this week. My bathroom is being redone so my living room looks like a war zone with everything stored in there.

I need to get back on track with my single player games. I stopped playing Control around Thanksgiving and need to get started again.
