AC Syndicate is excellent and takes the series back to its roots after the amazing Black Flag. It is set during Victorian London and captures the era perfectly.

if Ferral says it's good... it v v likely did

the amazing Black Flag

Is that a clever oxymoron, like Military Intelligence?

AC: BF is the one that utterly killed AC for me. Completely broke the plot and immersion the moment some random sailor was able to take out an Assassin, and then could seemingly perform all the physical moves just from putting on the dead dude's outfit... That, along with the very dull AC: III, is why I never played another.

I'll give this one a go, but have very low expectations.

This weeks game - can't say I'm feeling the vibe on this one:

InnerSpace - Free Now - Mar 05 at 4:00 PM

[Zak33]

I grabbed Inner Space, but haven't installed yet. I installed Faeria and my boy got right into that! It's a tough game in places...very strategic and similar to hearthstone.. but subtle different in many places.

Couple of interesting titles this week:
Note, the time is reduced by an hour and the deals finish at 3PM instead of 4 now, no idea of the significance

GoNNER: Free Now - Mar 12 at 3:00 PM

Offworld Trading Company: Free Now - Mar 12 at 3:00 PM

https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-U...g-company/home

Much better this week, Offworld Trading Company looks really good and only just released as well!! Thank you Epic
EDIT: ok the release dates on Epic are when they appear on the Epic store, not necessarily when the game was released
GoNNER looks like a brilliant if bonkers indie platformer

[Domestic_Ginger]

Offworld is meant to be from the lead developer on civ iv. Definitely will try.

Sorry guys in light of the apocalypse I completely missed last weeks. Have no idea what was on offer! But moving on:

This weeks, as most will probably be working from home, will be some much needed entertainment.

Stanley Parable:

Watch Dogs
https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-U...atch-dogs/home



I'm a big fan of both. Sadly Watch Dogs doesnt have the player base for certain features to work, but it's still enjoyable. Better than Far Cry 4+ imho
Stanley Parable is just something to explore on your own

AC Syndicate is excellent and takes the series back to its roots after the amazing Black Flag. It is set during Victorian London and captures the era perfectly.

Well, I finished all the plot elements of the game last night. That is to say, all the conquering bits, main story, ally missions and the Victoria stuff. Got a good percentage of the collectibles, and only got things like Helix glitches and beer bottles left, now.
It's probably half and half for me, in terms of 'good game'. Very pretty, nicely done scenery, some good gameplay elements. Very repetitive NPCs, fairly easy combat with no collateral damage. Plot was a bit meh, though nice to avoid too much of the supernatural guff of previous games. Loved the fight clubs. Hated how often something would glitch or the 'smart' controls would do something I didn't ask for, even to the point of my final mission needing about two dozen playthroughs because the QTE trigger icons wouldn't activate in time.
AC controls have always been janky and flip, but this was hideous at times!!

On the plus side, Evie is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

I still hate AC, but this one was enough fun that I saw it through to the very end. Being in such a fantastic setting probably helped a lot!

Nice, if I ever get to play it then it doesnt sound too bad.
I have to say Uplay do some excellent settings overall in their games. Shame about the gameplay sometimes.
I think that was the biggest appeal to FarCry 3

Gonna try WW-Z when peeps are online. Not holding out much hope, as it looks like a generic zombie bullet-hell mess. Heard the film was awful...

I really enjoyed the film . I didnt go in with any expectations, reviews or watching the trailer and enjoyed it. Worthy of my small but growing 4K collection
