Tom Orry, Editorial Director – Wolfenstein The New Order, PS4, Audible, Android Phone
I’m still really enjoying this, although the dogs make me so tense I can’t seem to play in sessions of more than 30 minutes. I hate them, the way you hear them first, then they charge and jump at your throat. Still, I’m looking forward to playing more.
I’m mostly using the Audible app on my phone. Having listened to The Stand (incredible) and The Martian (entertaining), I’m now onto American Gods. I saw Neil Gaiman talk live in London a few years ago, read Neverwhere soon after and then said I’d read American Gods. I didn’t. I probably should have as it’s great. If you have a long commute, lots of which is walking, Audible is great.
Steve Burns, Not a Real Boy – The Order: 1886, PS4, Resident Evil HD Remaster, PS4
Can I say I’ve been playing The Order? I think so. I can’t say what I think of it yet, because otherwise Sony will come to the office and kill everyone dead. I think.
Anyway, you’ll have to wait until next week for some Opinion Truths. In the meantime I can tell you that I interviewed Ready At Dawn’s CEO, Ru Weerasuriya, and he had excellent – EXCELLENT – hair.
Oh, and Resi. Obviously.
Simon Miller, Head Of Video Production – Rogue Legacy, PS4
I’m not one for indie games, generally speaking. I get that they offer a tremendous amount to the industry at large, but mostly my gaming gut just warms to the likes of Gears of War. I basically like dudebros and shooting people…
Thanks to PS+, though, my whole world has been opened up to new experiences, namely Rogue Legacy. The thought of having to continually grind my way to success in any form of entertainment makes me want to cry, but Rogue Legacy dangles the carrot so well I can’t help but be won over by it.
It’s tremendously good at allowing you to create your own goals, too. You don’t have to just be fixated on the game’s main bosses. You may just want to focus on increasing your wealth, or picking up a few more runes. Whatever you decide to do, it’s incredibly hard to put the pad down and walk away.
Cellar Door Games has made it disgustingly satisfying to play as well. I deserve to have my own head cut off for the amount of times a wry smile has been etched on my face after achieving some sort of target, but that’s just how… ‘charming’… Rogue Legacy is.
So cheers, PlayStation. Miller appreciates it…
Brett Phipps, Staff Writer – Tales from the Borderlands, PS4
I started Tales from the Borderlands this week after finishing The Wolf Among Us, and it’s TellTale’s strongest outing yet.
I’m not a Game of Thrones fan, so haven’t been interested in that entry, but Tales is enthused with all the insanity, comedy and over-the-top antics of the main series that makes the episodic, story-driven alternative so much fun.
Considering TellTale’s previous games have told pretty grim stories (Wolf, Walking Dead), it’s nice to enjoy a more light-hearted adventure. I feel like I’m playing a slapstick comedy. It’s rare for games to make me laugh, but this one does, time and again.
