I bought a game on Steam ages ago and was bored last night so I installed it. WWI game called Verdun. It's actually kinda fun and you get that war of attrition feel that WWI was. You charge enemy lines, get mowed down, but it has quick respawns so you just keep going. As you gain a foothold, the tide changes and you defend your trench vs onslaughts and start doing mowing of your own. Fairly simple game, but fun.

It's made by the same studio that made Arkham Origins, which is by far the weakest in the Arkham series, by a notable margin (and the only one not made be Rocksteady).

Rocksteady is working on the Suicide Squad game, which will likely be worlds better.

WB: Montreal did all of the DLC content for Arkham Knight, but I agree that it's less than ideal that Rocksteady isn't doing this one.

I don't know what it is, but both of those games look entirely terrible to me. Who wants to play as Robin or Nightwing or uhhh... Shark guy or whatever? Probably a lot of people, I guess.

Ensemble games are hit and miss for me, with many more misses than hits. I think the only one I've enjoyed is GTA V, or some of the games where you jump into another character for a small portion of the game.

You may want to give hell let loose a try, if you haven't

Robin and Nightwing were a blast to play in the Arkham Knight DLCs. Their staff/sticks make for a nice alternative to playing as Batman the entire time.

At this point I'm more interested in the rumoured Rocksteady Harry Potter game

I feel like I've been burned out and lost interest in superhero games/movies nearly 10 years ago now

Arkham City was the last one I've finished and enjoyed

Movie I get, but how many big superhero games did we get this gen?

Batman: Arkham Knight (2015)
Spider-Man (2018)
Avengers next week?

Hopefully you don't have to fly through umpteen rounds of a virtual obstacle course to be qualified to fly each ship.

I look forward to killing rebel scum and bringing peace, stability, justice and order to my new empire.


Loved that we get to see Admiral Sloane who becomes one of the key founders of the First Order.



Hera playing a key role as well.

This game popped up on my radar recently:



Looks pretty good. Like a mix of baldurs gate, Diablo, etc..

Any other flight simmers, check out Flight Simulator Economy (FSE) to give the game an extra layer of gameplay. Gives you money and missions, you start out renting planes for jobs and eventually you can buy one, etc.

It's on the fritz right now because there's an insane amount of people trying to sign up, but they're upgrading their servers and it sohuld be good to go again in a few days

Just finished Ghost of Tsushima, absolutely loved that game. I think my only real complaint right now is I wish it was longer!!

I'm realizing I don't play a lot of different titles, it usually seems to be R* (GTA, RDR), Assassin's Creed, then randomly Witcher 3. I guess I'm so used to those marathons that I was caught off guard when Ghost ended rather quickly in comparison. I wanted to keep going for a bit with side stuff and free-roaming, but there's just nothing to do anymore now...I wasn't ready yet to say goodbye to Jin Sakai! Hopefully they add more content soon.

Question regarding player choices in spoilers:
Spoiler!

Did you see the DLC they’re coming out with? Free co-op campaign starring the heroes from the mythic quests. Whole separate thing with supernatural enemies and stuff. Sounds really cool and is supposed to be coming this fall some time, I can’t wait!
