Cyberpunk is now a B+ game. It’s not a mess anymore. It has great gunplay mechanics.

But the story and acting aren’t good enough (as the Witcher was), nor is the open world good enough (like GTA/RDR/Elder Scrolls are) to vault it to the A-grade range or all-timer status.

it’s worth a play if you’ve beaten the all timer games. Not one that you’ll keep installed forever though.

The new Indiana Jones game is surprisingly good. I'm still early on in it but I'm liking it.

Graphics are good, Indiana feels like Indiana, it has a feel like one of the classic movies.

It's sort of open world - you can do one of several quests available at any time, but they're all related to the main quest basically, though it makes sense in context. You can go anywhere but so far you are confined to one country at a time, and you aren't particularly rewarded for exploring.

But overall it's well done, feels like one of the movies, feels like the 1930s, and so far zero woke nonsense.

Gives me hope for Bethesda.

Yeah, I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Unfortunately, us Playstation folks have to wait till Q1 2025 to play it.

I have both. And a gaming PC.

And a steamdeck.
I just don't have the time to use all of that. A PC and PS5 are enough for me. Although I could see a portable option to play while hanging out with the kids... They want to go to the park? No problem honey, meanwhile I play video games while they entertain themselves.

I would say it’s probably a bit of overkill to have both a PS5 and an Xbox. But games are by far best on PC if you can swing it, consoles for ease/convenience and exclusives, and the Steam deck is for mobile.

Partying with the priest in Kingdom Come is one of my favorite video games moments ever. :lol
