Unfortunately my current role is at risk redundancy, if any game studios are in need of QA analysts, dev support, junior 3D or vehicle art specialists please send them my way! I appreciate any support given! โค๏ธ

It was one of the first games I got when I got a 360, way after they both came out too. I remember slowly riding towards the towering cityscape of Damascus for the first time, with crowds of NPCs milling about, trees billowing and the soundtrack rising as I approached the city gates. Peak moment.

It's played between chapters when the save screen pops up, each game has its own jingle for the save screen, but this is my favourite

The Haytham bit was the only bit I remember enjoying. Going from playing as powerful, all-abilities Haytham to limited gameplay, literal child Connor 10 hours in was hard to stomach. Also going from 3 games of Ezio scaling huge churches and cathedrals to climbing a few small houses and trees was ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

#Xbox Quick Resume doesn't nearly enough recognition as a standout feature of Series X.

I've been playing a lot of Ace Attorney and Division 2 lately, but fancied some AC after the Shadows release. Booted up Revelations and it instantly picked up where I left it - about a year ago? Revolutionary.

Can anyone who has played Shadows look at this please and tell me if it's an Assassin's Creed game I'll enjoy? I like my AC games with rewarded stealth and varied mission design, not the boaty, RPG inspired directions the series has gone in (I also don't wanna watch gameplay because spoilers.)

So I know it's probably not entirely possible to stop supporting America altogether, but I have been making conscious attempts to shop non-american whenever possible and it's really been great.

Putting money into products and services made and ran in non-dictatorship countries โค๏ธ๐Ÿค would recommend.

Balatro isn't a card game, it's the game no one saw coming. If you want to chase the next Balatro, you're by definition going to miss the game no one saw coming.

Want to make money on games no one sees coming? FUND A BUNCH OF WEIRD SHIT. Weird games are not super expensive. All you need is one hit

Just so you know I just spent an hour and a half playing one mission on Hitman 2 Silent Assassin as stealthily as possible, and when I got to the end, I needed to use a bomb (that I didn't pick up) from the start of the level to escape and complete it....

Me and my partner love Fall. We've watched it countless times, the stupid peril of it is so captivating to us. Banger 'throw your brain out the window' evening movie.

I probs prefer Blood Money overall, but some of the missions from Hitman 2 (this mission Anathema included) are some of my favourites across all the games.

Being able to hide a gun on the delivery man's food crate and have him take it into the property for you is masterful design. Must replay it.

saying Clair Obscur: Expedition Thirty Three is a bit of a mouthful sure but consider please that one of the most popular and well received games of the year was called Warhammer Forty Thousand: SpaceMarine Two, I'm not sure a convoluted name really matters.
