I put some time in raft, it was okay for a while. finally hit a boredom wall once i became too efficient.. but i still pushed through to that geodome city.. cant even remember the name of the place.. after figuring that place out i havent been back to the game..

Any of these survival crafting games, IMO you should play them in finite stretches between other games.

I kinda enjoy setting myself like 1 or 2 hrs of Raft time, and whatever I accomplish is all I get to do and then move on to other stuff.

When you play it too long, the repetitive survival loops become easy/boring and you wonder why you're playing lol.

One flaw I find in many modern games is they design a game to have fun tasks (building, running, shooting, gathering, etc) but they don't build in mechanisms for which to spur the player on.

Raft needs those mechanisms that make the player go "Omg I need to build/collect/level-up or I'll never survive, never."

Instead its like "Idk if I feel like expanding my house boat I suppose I will." lol

Very enjoyable game, hurt by the souls-like nature of its design.

You either enjoy a game that forces you into OCD loops of repetitive gaming or you don't.

I consider any game made with "souls-like" tags to be made by autists.

I fucking rekt Vader when the time came tho lol

So after I finished the story portion of bloodborne I realized I was only 3 trophies away from platinum. In order to get the trophies you gotta beat a bunch of "Chalice Dungeons". They are optional. They are also bloodborne distilled down to it's best. The deep dungeons are harder than the regular game and really require you to get the combat system down even more than the regular game. There are bosses down there I had to try probably 30 times to beat. Lot of xp, lots of great items. I preferred them to the story game. The funniest part is that after fighting through insanely hard levels and bosses (including a dungeon that halved your health and had bosses that kill you in one hit), I got to the final boss for the last trophy. Took her down in one try. She was a cakewalk after everything else. Haven't done the dlc because it gets inserted into the middle of the story and I'd have to get to that point in ng+

Moved onto Shadow of the tomb raider. Found out I had it free installed on my ps4.

Playing in spurts would probably make me play survival games over a longer period of time. BUT, I always grind for x amount of hours until I break, never really coming back to said survival game. Love the genre though.

I genuinely thought the same thing about how PC was Special person. Now it's the only thing I use and playing on console is genuinely like playing on a toaster.

Beat ninja gaiden sigma and ryse son of rome. Ninja gaiden was hard af. Ryse was pretty easy but really fun and cool ass story. Felt like the gladiator movie. Starting either ninja gaiden sigma 2 or plagues tale next. I should switch up to the ps5 start on all the games I have unopened but this gamepass shit is addicting

I beat Ninja Gaiden Sigma years ago.. great but hard game. I think it's harder than bloodborne..

I started playing fallout 76 (they have 4 fallout games on gamepass). I’m not really liking it so far. Are these games that get better as time goes by or is it just meh? Seems like a long ass game

If going by order of greatness

I'll say Fallout New Vegas > Fallout 3 > Fallout 4

Played 76 a bit but seems like you need a few people to play with to really get into it

But yeah, they're all extremely huge games and time sinks. Just like most Bethesda games (Skyrim)
