Just completed Resident Evil Village last night. First RE game I've played and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not difficult but a handful of jumps, mostly in the first half of the game. Will definitely given 7 another go (I never got very far). I'd give this 7.5/10
Me and the boy finished It Takes Two yesterday as well, was excellent, 8/10
Last games I'll play for around 6 weeks or so as tomorrow I've having an operation on my arm as I've managed to snap the tendon that connects my bicep to my elbow. It doesn't hurt but needs fixing.
I'll pick up R&C once the sling/cast is off

Ratchet and Clank A Rift Apart
A solid 7-7.5/10 for me.nice visuals and a great showcase for the PS5 controller. The use of the SSD for the first feature was nice, if a little underutilized.
The 2 characters needed something to set them apart in a gameplay point of view. Same guns, same moves, etc essentially just a skin swap in gameplay.
I'd say if you can find it on a fair offer or pre-owned give it a shot for the haptics etc.
Next up probably FF7 Remake. Didn't play it originally but grabbed a PS4 Copy for the ps5 upgrade

Started Mario Maker myself yesterday and I see what you mean already. To me though, these levels are essentially just showcasing things that you can then do in the creator rather than being full on traditional mario levels if that makes sense. More like a source of inspiration

Detroit: Become Human - 4/5
Loved Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain so expected to enjoy this and wasn't let down.
Great graphics and voice acting, some amazing characters and character interactions and multiple story paths that you can unlock depending on the decisions you make earlier in the game. Would've been nice if Quantic Dream used a different control system but it suits this type of game and works well, just feels a bit dated now.

Resident Evil Village. Totally bonkers, fun romp. RE4 crossed with 7. Quality production, fun gameplay, epic moments, if a little confused and disjointed. The action, exploring and upgrading weapons was spot on - I just wish it felt more like a complete experience rather than a movie directed by 5 different people. Totally recommend either way. 7.5/10
Resident Evil 2: Remake. I went into this off the back of Village and was blown away. The purest in me avoided it at launch (how dare they tinker with RE2?!) and I was wrong. It's up there with RE4 and the original as the greatest RE to date. Solid and consistent in tone, pacing, and intrigue throughout. Something that can't be said of much of the series. Gorgeous looking, tense and takes you on a proper journey. Uber fast load times on Series X too. 9/10

Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart - 9/10
An absolute gem of a game. Pure, unadulterated, ebullient fun from start to finish. Continues on from where all the previous entries left off, adding in another set of characters. Feels incredible to control: beautifully tuned weight, feel and control with shooting, completely added to by the haptic feedback in the triggers. Looks stunning with HDR and ray tracing, seriously stunning. Doesn't outstay its welcome. Basically, the perfect console game.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 8/10
Gave up on this a few times mostly around mapping and navigation. A bit frustrating but eventually got in the zone. Having to travel back to start of levels felt a bit retro/padding.
Really enjoyed the story. Gameplay mostly fun. Fighting worked for me. Game became so much more intuitive once skills unlocked in game. Skill tree also added some cool stuff.
Graphically, it looks fantastic and runs amazing on the Series X. Played 2nd half with enhanced version.

A good Star Wars game, that's a first! Usually generic throw away games

I've just finished it and I wasn't that impressed. It's basically a game with no original ideas at all. And it has some very annoying sections. I'd give it a 6/10. I should add that I'm not a Star Wars fan

Days gone. 7/10 for me.

Dark souls (1) remastered - sad to see it done. Follows DS2 (similar feelings). Have been playing DS3 - not feeling it yet...

3 was fine, but felt like a collection of all their systems/ learnings over the years into one game. Like a greatest hits. Lacked something for me. Still worth a play but I feel 2 will always hold the top spot for me

Yep. Wierdly after starting ds1 and feeling I was playing a 90s game, I ended up liking it the most. Or rather felt sad at the end wishing there was more. DS2 and Bloodborne - I was ready for the end even though loved them. Think because the latter levels on both were getting quite small and too easy
Great game - absolutely loved it
I really liked Connor and Kara’s stories, but found Marcus a little lacklustre after the beginning. Made my Connor turn into an ******** about halfway through which was fun
Metro Exodus, enhanced Edition series X: 9/10
It was a slowish burn at the start, and at some point I wasn't too sure about it, as it's quite punishing if you don't play the game like it's intended to (i.e: it is not a run and gun shooter). I kept at it and I very glad I did. It's beautiful, the pacing is excellent and the story, while not being particularly deep, is great. How the story ramps up at the end was just great and I'm 100% going to pick up at least one of the DLCs at some point soon.
Also pretty stoked on how rare some of the achievements were that I got without trying.

How does it rank against the first three games (if you've played them of course)?
