    I have BioMutant pre-ordered for Xbox One/Xbox Series. It looks real good. Looking forward to it. Review embargo lifts at 11am EST on Monday. On XboxEra, someone who knows im interested in the game told me that a French gaming magazine rated it an 88/100 which is higher than im expecting so hoping it gets great score overall as im hoping the game does real good.

      Yeah I saw about the review embargo and that is the first I have heard about any kind of review score it may have from anyone.

        He showed me the cover of the magazine but the reason why he knows the score is because he knows the person who reviewed it. Will find out Monday for sure. I know reviewers have the game and a few people did sponsored streams of the game on Twitch earlier today.

              Downloaded it from Game Pass. I’ve only played 3-4 matches so far but it’s definitely fun. I’d imagine it’s a blast if you’re playing with friends.

                  Pretty immersed into both my Hawks and Braves franchises at the moment. For some reason, M21 just didn't click for me. Hoping to have better luck with 22.

                    Main focus currently is on finishing the current season in my Mets carryover franchise in MLB 20. Have 24 games remaining and should be clinching a postseason berth in the next week.

                    Other than that, not really playing much else at the moment. Looking forward to Mario Golf coming out in a few weeks, and then Skyward Sword in July.

                      Currently finishing World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. Next purchase will be Shadowlands Keystone Master I guess. Now it costs 99 euros with a substantial discount.

                        Re: 2021 Gaming Plans

                        Finished since my last post

                        The Evil Within, Uncharted 3, Titanfall 2

                        Evil Within was a much better game than I ever thought it would be. I bought it mainly because I liked what I saw from EW2 on YT and didn't want to play that one without knowing the story from the start. The game has something coded in that made me want to come back for more even though I was seriously questioning my resolve especially in the first two episodes. I was definitely surprised by the variety of environments, didn't expect that one. Good weird story, good gameplay and mechanics, some cool enemies (especially Laura), some very nice creepy and/or wtf moments. Unfortunately towards the end the game turns more into a shooter than a survival horror, but overall, a great experience.

                        Uncharted 3 is by far the best of the Nathan Drake Collection. I love how with each installment, you grow to love Nathan (and care for him) more and more. Uncharted 2 was very good, with an absolutely awesome final cinematics ending, but U3 takes the series to a different level. The chapters in the desert, I think from 18 to 20, are stunning and by far the best sequence in the series so far. Can't wait for U4 and LL though I make take my time, due to vast backlog and my preference to mix up the genres / stories / studios a bit.

                        Titanfall 2, though, is the stunner of the year for me so far. My first FPS ever and I couldn't have chosen a better one. A perfect blend of both interesting story and on-field action, I played through this game with my jaw mostly on the ground. While some of the parkour sequences frustrated the hell out of me, I fared much better in combat than I ever thought I would. Still died my fair share of times though, especially againts the damn Viper boss. That was one of two sequences where I almost quit the game for good. The story was exactly of the intimate kind I love so much (see: Joel and Ellie, Aloy and Elisabeth, 2B and 9S); it is almost a travesty that the offline single player campaign is so short. I have even strongly considered to grant myself an immediate second playthrough, which I never did before. A jaw dropping game, great visuals, amazing adventure, insane fun. Goes right at my #4 all-time behind TLoU, HZD and Nier, edging Uncharted 3 by a hair.

                        What's next

                        Deciding between Tomb Raider 2, Metro 2033 Redux, Dying Light, Days Gone, RDR2, Subnautica, Life is Strange and Watch Dogs 2.

                        Would probably choose one of the linear games since I also want to finish Nier Automata (the second half, endings C to whatever) before I dive into a completely new open world adventure.

                        Backlog

                        Still endless... and growing. Among others, my appreciation for Titanfall 2 makes me strongly consider getting the Borderlands series, which is a prime example of the game I would have never even considered before.

                          Still on the fence between the Series X and PS5. I am only doing one console this generation as my gaming time is trending down over the years and I want it to be about quality vs quantity. I primarily play for the multiplayer experience.

                          Definite:
                          Battlefield 2042

                          Intriguing
                          Halo Infinite
                          Deathloop
                          Back 4 Blood
                          SOCOM (rumored to be a new version for PS5)
                          NBA 2k22 (been a couple years since I played)

                              Halfway home.

                              No plans to get a PS5 this year. Still pretty happy with the PS4 Pro. That could always change, but I think 2022 is more likely when I'll jump to next gen. Assuming PS5s are available then.

                              Haven't played either of the freebies yet. GGS was an impulse purchase; I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet. I was going to skip M21, but snagged it on sale back in January. It just never really clicked with me though.

                              Going to pre-order both of them this week. I've largely stayed away from the Madden Beta thread, but I'm still excited about it ... even on the PS4. Since I really didn't play M21 much, I'm hoping M22 will feel fresher to me.

                                Haven't played either of the freebies yet. GGS was an impulse purchase; I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet. I was going to skip M21, but snagged it on sale back in January. It just never really clicked with me though.

                                Plan to Purchase
                                • Madden 22
                                • Kena: Bridge of Spirits


                                Going to pre-order both of them this week. I've largely stayed away from the Madden Beta thread, but I'm still excited about it ... even on the PS4. Since I really didn't play M21 much, I'm hoping M22 will feel fresher to me.
                                Yeah, Madden 21 never really clicked with me, either. Tried several times. I wish I have never deleted my M20 Jets chise. That was by far the most fun I ever had with Madden.

                                But last week I did a complete 180° from my previous plans and inspired by the current Canadiens run, I got myself NHL21 for just under 20€ from PS Store. My advantage is that unlike Madden, I never been to NHL forums so I have no idea how good or bad the game is supposed to be, and I don't care. Just set my sliders how I saw fit, created a San Francisco expansion team and that just about covers my sports gaming needs for now.

                                Still undecided about which non sports game I roll with next, though. Leaning strongly towards the Metro series, but we'll see.
