The ICON is definitely not a plane designed for high performance maneuvering (as Roy Halladay found out the hard way), but it's great for steady flight at low speeds, so it's become my go-to aircraft for sightseeing in FS2020.

Haven't had too many issues myself and I am sure they'll iron out the problems. Going forward, I hope Sony puts a little more effort into this if they plan to port over more games.
I'm hoping Microsoft's focus shift to make all their exclusives available on PC will push Sony eventually doing the same

Tough act to follow, but next up I've got the new Avengers game pre ordered, there was an open beta this past weekend but I missed it. Looking forward to trying it during the open beta. Anyone else tried this game or going to try it out?

I figure it will keep me busy until Squadrons comes out and consumes my life.
Have you played either of the Witcher's expansion packs? If not, back into the cave you go! They are just as great as the main game, some parts even more so.

Whether you play a game on an Xbox or a Windows 10 machine doesn't matter to Microsoft, but it absolutely matters to Sony when it's between a PC and PS4/5. You might see more ports of PS4 exclusives, but only at the point where Sony is sure that the console version sales are pretty much tapped

I completed Witcher 3 main quest line last week at Level ~34 or so. I am just started the expansions now. What a great game! Thoroughly enjoyed every part of it.

I will re-spec and change my play style for the remainder of the game to mix it up.

Witcher 3 and Breath of the Wild are my top games of the decade.

I've been playing The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan on gamepass recently. I'm really enjoying it. Got decent reviews from some sites, nothing stellar. But I'm really enjoying it overall. Definitely has a Resident Evil vibe to it, minus all the violence. But same style of game play as the original RE1 and RE2. Similar camera angles and finicky controls. The dark moody graphics are amazing though. Some of the best I've seen on Xbox. Cool story too and worth playing if want a neat linear horror game.

I almost never buy games at launch, but for this I may have to make an exception

Already pre-ordered it! You can download the warehouse demo too for this. Get your practice on.

Play Until Dawn if you have a PS4. It’s the same developer.

I bought Man of Medan at launch and planned on playing with my two nieces but other than one time when we got through the first chapter they never want to play when they come over. Eventually I’m just going to play it solo since the next game called Little Hope is coming out soon.

Yup, I pre-ordered THPS 1+2 and have been spending some time getting my groove back in the Warehouse level.

Played through this online with a friend a month ago and had a great time. It ended rather abruptly but the experience was very cool. Also ran through it with a group of 5 and I have to say, I much preferred the 2 player shared story vs the movie night mode.

The style reminds me of Heavy rain and Until Dawn was already mentioned.

If going for something a little more light hearted, game play also reminds me a little bit of of Life is Strange 1 & 2.

Man of Medan has online co-op with a very cool twist. If you have the chance, play it online with a friend. I liked Until Dawn (PlayStation exclusive though) more than Man of Medan, but it’s still very cool. I’m excited for their game., Little Hope:



I’ve been playing the THPS1+2 Warehouse demo. That game genuinely makes me smile. What an absolute pleasure to play that again. I’d also recommend the documentary that just came out the other day - Pretending I’m Superman: The Tony Hawk Video Game Story.

Pretty excited about Gotham Knights. Suicide Squad isn't as appealing to me, but it is Rocksteady so hopefully it's really good.

Gotham Knights looks pretty cool, Suicide Squad is so far away I can’t make myself care yet. Also not a property I have any love for, and it has a big focus on co-op. We’ll see.
