April 22nd 2024.
Elden Ring is finally getting the attention it deserves as one of the most highly anticipated games in recent years. I, like many others, have been waiting for its release and now with the lack of new game releases, I finally have the time to dive into it. It's my top priority from my backlog of games, which seems to be growing with each passing year.
I've always wondered if the constant release of massive games is hindering the success of smaller, lesser-known games. With limited time, most people can only prioritize a few major games each year, leaving the rest to be overlooked. Would it be better for developers to create smaller games that can fill the gaps between the big releases? Although I don't want to play "backlog fillers", I would be more willing to try out a shorter game if it's reasonably priced.
One game that surprised me with its gameplay and story was Unicorn Overlord. It had a unique battle system and managing an ever-growing army was a fun challenge. However, I was disappointed by the weak story, especially since the developer's previous game, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, had one of the best stories I've experienced in gaming. I appreciated the streamlined nature of the game, especially compared to other titles like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which can be overwhelming with its side content.
Looking ahead, I plan on buying a new gaming PC in the near future. However, with the recent announcement of Windows 11, I'll have to wait until at least 2025 to ensure compatibility. I'm looking for recommendations for a PC building website, as I'm not confident in building one myself. I'm willing to spend £1,500 to £2,000 and will use it for various tasks, including gaming, web design, and editing.
On a different note, I recently watched the Fallout TV series and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it, even though I've never played the games before. It's refreshing to watch a show without any expectations or comparisons to the source material. I'm also eagerly awaiting the release of Professor Layton on the Switch 2, which I hope will be revealed this summer.
Lastly, I'm glad to see the recognition that the PlayStation VR2 deserves, despite Sony's recent decision to focus on the development of VR games. VR is an incredible experience and I find it hard to go back to traditional games after trying it. I hope to see some of the amazing PC VR titles make their way to PlayStation VR2 in the future.
Have you heard about the new Elden Ring game? It's been making waves in the gaming community and people can't wait to get their hands on it. Speaking of which, let's see what our readers have to say in this week's letters page.
One reader, Bisker, brings up an interesting point about the current state of video games. With the lack of new releases, many of us are finally getting the chance to go through our backlog and play games we never had the time for before. Bisker mentions that Elden Ring is at the top of their list, as they only played it for an hour or two and never got the chance to fully immerse themselves in it. They also wonder if it would be better for developers to focus on creating smaller games that can fill the gaps between major releases.
Michael from Crawley shares their thoughts on the game Unicorn Overlord, praising its unique battle system and streamlined gameplay. However, they also mention that the story was a bit weak compared to the developer's previous game, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. It's interesting how different games from the same developer can excel in different areas.
Next, we have a letter from Andrew J. who is looking to buy a new gaming PC in the near future. They ask for recommendations on PC websites that offer pre-built systems, as they are not confident in building one themselves. Andrew also mentions that they will use the PC for other tasks such as web design and video editing. We hope our readers can offer some helpful advice.
Moving on to a different topic, Rob shares their love for virtual reality gaming, particularly on the PlayStation VR2. They mention that they find it hard to go back to normal games after experiencing VR. They also hope to see some of the incredible PC VR games make their way to the PlayStation VR2 in the future.
Stephen brings up the recent news of Level-5 postponing their planned April showcase until the summer. They wonder if this has anything to do with the delay of the rumored Switch 2 and if we can expect a reveal in the summer. We can only speculate at this point, but it's an interesting theory.
An anonymous reader shares their experience with their partner watching the Fallout TV series. While they have never played the games before, they found the show to be brilliant and unique compared to other shows on television. They also appreciate not having any expectations or character comparisons, as they are experiencing the story and characters for the first time.
