Mainly 9/10's I'm seeing. They said the story is very good and the mechanics work well navigating as the kitty in combination with the B12 robot who acts as kind of a human puppet.
Really like the unique premise (Tokyo Jungle touched on the genre) and always liked the idea of playing as an animal in video games; like a big cat predator who hunts and fights off hyenas and hippos, etc. Throw a human like Lion King type of plot in there and seems doable to me but what do I know.
It's supposed to be on PS Extra for free so I will give it a go...hate puzzles though unf; even the easy ones lol depending on the consumption that day...

If you aren’t really into much gaming a xbox one X and PS4 do fine because there are just so many classic games for those systems. I am playing games like Madden 16, old Call of Dutys, GTA 5, and other games just for the fun factor.
To me, the new consoles are great but there is no game that was made for the new consoles to say I have to buy one now. The con is the previous consoles are still expensive because it went up in price during the pandemic so it is best to find a cheap one on eBay.
If you really need a newer console, the Series S is very good. It is very small, can hook up with a very small monitor to make it a laptop, fast, and you can easily find it new or used at any store but you will have to buy games digitally and get a external memory card.

Looks like Stray will be the sleeper hit of the summer, 60,000 players right now on Steam plus a spot on Steams front page as well as great reviews. Only question is being linear is 4-8 hours of gameplay worth 30$? Browsing through the front page on Steam/new releases etc reveals a ton of games all with very unique gameplay and ideas. There is even a game that is basically as lawn mowing simulator. Shame i am not a developer as i am sure a game about cleaning toliets would sell like hotcakes.

For what it's worth, IGN gave it an 8 out of 10.

I was just pointing you to it in case you were interested in watching it
Plus the video did not show the score until you watched so still a good comment.

Another gripe i have about Steam is that there is a bunch of games listed that are nothing more than thinly veiled Pron, i think its disgusting. Guess Valve doesn't care as long as they are getting their 30% cut.

Was reading about this Bungie Lawsuit that is going on, and, it's pretty wild. So a YouTube Channel (Lord Nazo) was posting Destiny 2 music soundtracks. It got hit with copyright infringement from Bungie several times. Finally it got the channel closed. The owner of the channel (Lord Nazo) got mad, created a fake looking Bungie e-mail address and profile, and started going around YouTube and submitting copyright infringement requests on any and all channels with Bungie content. This was automatically shutting down those videos and/or channels. YouTube creators were then starting to get extremely mad at Bungie, because to many of these creators this is their livelihood, and in their eyes "Bungie" is shutting them down. So all the creators started banding together, and are ready to storm the Bungie castle with pitchforks and fire, all while Lord Nazo is leading the way "Yeah! Bungie screwed us!". Meanwhile in the background, Lord Nazo hit Bungie's official YouTube channel with copyright infringement. Bungie hit back at YouTube and was like "Yo, we are the official channel!" and YouTube was all "Sorry bros, we don't believe you. Different e-mail address." So Bungie had to send YouTube legal documentation to get their channel back up. Bungie started to finally peel back the layers of this whole mess, slowly figuring it all out, and when they got to Lord Nazo, he was claiming "Yeah my channel got shutdown by this imposter! Restore it immediately!". Bungie finally figured out it was this Lord Nazo behind the whole thing and is suing him for a boatload of money.

Last week, I had some time off, and started playing the free Starcraft II at Blizzard's online server. Been meaning to do that for a long time, just behind. LOL But brings back great memories of the first Starcraft. After 20 years, I couldn't believe I still remember those characters and plot from the first game. I played some of the AI vs matches to get a rating for multiplayer. Not sure yet if I'll play online because I know how intense the competition is. Had a brother that used to play those RTS games competitively and he would whip my arse every time. I try to play video games to relax. Why I stopped playing Madden, couldn't take the intensity of the competition even if it was just a stupid online game. I hate to lose.

I bought Starcraft 2 on release, played just a bit of the campaign and that was it. Am considering reinstalling it and playing online even though i stink. The game is still immensely popular.
