Probably worth waiting to see if that drops on Uplay+ classics of whatever it's called. Really enjoyed that one!
Demon's souls and Returnal are both coming to the new PS+ next month, so I wouldn't buy those. Sub for a month and check them out as they're both very marmite experiences.

Interesting how DS is “not for everyone”, but Returnal gets universally recommended without reservation when it’s the embodiment of a game not for everyone.

Aside from being amazing, it also is a good tech demo for all the spatial audio and haptic rizzle dizzle. Second only to probably Astro, really.

I think that Returnal takes less investment to work out it's systems and due to the nature of the game, is more instantly gratifying, as well as being more accessible.

While I definitely agree that Returnal isn’t for everyone, I think the sci-if shooter and faster pace definitely make it easier to recommend to more people than a From title. And the fact that it’s an exclusive drives a bit more interest.

Well, looks like it's just me that bounced off it this hard then. ;-)

I dont mean this in a patronising way *at all* but its one of those rare games that I kind of feel bad for the people who dont dig it.

I would say Returnal isn't for everyone in the same way any game isn't for everyone. If you like third person shooters, it is likely you will get some enjoyment out of Returnal.
DS on the other hand, as with all From games, even if you like action RPGs, third person melee combat games or whatever it doesn't necessarily mean you are going to get on with it.

Appreciate all the suggestions so far. I'd forgotten about R&C, and have the PS4 version of TLoU2 which I'm still in the middle of. Demon's Souls I might give a go since I enjoyed DS3. Since none of you have mentioned Returnal I take it that it's not worth playing 0/10 bargain bin junk don't ban me

I fucking loved it but I know a lot of people are fairly ambivilent towards it, nevertheless, I would also recommend Control, particularly as it look beautiful and runs like a dream on PS5. Also seems to be quite cheap in sales these days.

I played it at 30fps before 60fps or ray tracing were a thing. Even so, it was on PS5 so it ran amazingly at 30. I genuinely think the environment is one that will benefit from raytracing, but it will still look fucking stunning on perfmance mode so I would say that, and switch to RT for some sexy screenshots.

Speaking of control and its previously terrible performance, I was very bored when I had the covids and finally got around to trying to play quantum break. It is pretty much unplayable on the XBSS. The graphics make it look like the console is broken. Its absolute dogshit.

That wasn't in response to Nick's comment on QB. That didn't excite me in the same way Control did. I actually binned it a few hours in. Pity.

I need to go back to Control, I only played 30 mins, we'll see once Elden Ring is finally over.

Ashtray Maze.
Everyone needs to play Control just for that bit.
Plus it's weird and the Old House is great.

It's just immense. I love everything about it. It's one of my bestest ever games. The only non-souls I've platinumed.

I actually played all the way through Control on a base Xbox One and it was never unplayable, although I think there were a lot of jagged edges on lighting etc, and the loading times were dire. Will definitely play through the rest of the side missions/DLC (on XSX now) but need to buy it as it's no longer on GP.
