I didn't find the combat overly cumbersome. Easy to learn, difficult to master. I did find that you need patience though, you're outmatched fairly consistently and so taking the time to stealth, and re-hide, and all that jazz is incredibly helpful. But that being said, it has various difficulty options, including a story mode where combat apparently is a cake walk, if that's your preference. But I did complete the game on its hardest difficulty, which is not something I tend to do, so it's quite manageable, at any level, imo. I do highly recommend that game, it is great.

Idk if I could comment on worst, I haven't played a wide range of games and tend to be quite picky about which I purchase, so I haven't played anything awful.

I played raft on peaceful so story mode sounds perfect, i’m also quite picky which is why i picked no man sky, it’s not terrible but it doesn’t particularly stand out.

It is my girlfriend's favorite series. And she usually has great taste. If you can get it on sale, that'd be your best bet, especially if you end up not liking it. 🤖🦖

What did she think of Forbidden West? I own it, but haven't got around to playing it yet (and am still largely spoiler free).

I'll give you are more detailed answer later, but I remember she loved how well it continued the story and the new ways to traverse. But that is all I can remember. I am sure she will give me a more rounded out response when she gets back to me. 👉👉

Her response;

"The story was great, the graphics were insanely gorgeous - like, imagine how beautiful cut scenes and dialogue scenes were in Zero Dawn? The whole game is that beautiful. The only caveat is it's so big I'd highly recommend playing on a PS5 (or equivalent if it's not exclusive) d/t the rendering problems I had on 4.

If you're looking for a game with dynamic choices, the Horizon series is just not really that kind of game, but if you like puzzles, problem solving, themes of community and interpersonal relationships and all the complications that involves, it's a great story."

She also sent me some screenshots of her game that she wants to show you. I'll send them to you on Discord here in a few.

I hate how so many products have become limited edition, just to drive up sales and make anyone who's even semi-interested in buying it have FOMO and be "forced" to fork over an oftentimes absurd amount of cash just to get a half-baked product of mediocre quality.

In other words, I WANT MY CRAZY DAVE FIGURINE BUT I GOT NO MONEY :(

[START TRANSCRIPT]

This is a breaking news report issued by Commonwealth State Television. Please pay attention.

Breaking right now, the Manchester police has claimed and confirmed that the CEO of Commonwealth Standard Weapons Company, Lorne Algar, along with multiple employees, are being held hostage in the building of Commonwealth Standard Weapons Company.

Those responsible for the incident are suspected to be members of the World Revolutionary Movement, a terror organization infamous for causing civil unrest across nations, hosting mass demonstrations, vandalism, or hostage incidents, particularly of officials of governments or individuals with a high net worth hostage.

Manchester police state that Algar was making a routine visit to the building when a group of about fourteen individuals broke into the building via the front door, holding weapons that appeared to be manufactured by the Company. Algar, along with twenty-six employees, are currently trapped in the building, and the situation is ongoing.

Residents and workers within the area have been thoroughly evacuated, and Manchester Police says they have things under control at the moment.

King Jenson VI has made a public statement saying quote, "Whoever is responsible for this is a disgrace to the Commonwealth, and such actions will not be tolerated, in the English Kingdom, or otherwise.".

The escaped cloned soldiers from a similar incident eight days ago have also all been caught and thoroughly degrown.

Updates will be coming in shortly.

And no, WRM is actually not a terror group! They used to be peaceful, but after having lots of violent action done against them, they're resorting to more extreme measures to get their message across! It went from "World peace, anyone?" to "Fack these warmongers to hell!"
They don't harm innocent civilians, even "liberating" some, hence why they freed the cloned soldiers. They don't even kill, only holding hostages as a means of a sort of ransom.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Director-General, QU Dongyu, and Comrade Shavkat M. Mirziyoyev, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, met in Tashkent during the Director-General’s two-day visit in the Soviet Union, to discuss current collaboration and means to further strengthen relationships between FAO and the USSR.

The Chairman welcomed the Director-General in the Uzbek SSR, and expressed his appreciation for the strengthened collaboration between FAO and the Soviet Union, noting in particular the co-organization of the Land-Locked Developing Countries (LLDCs) Forum on Food Security and SDGs, which he noted was of particular importance not only for these countries, but globally.

The Chairman further noted it remained important to keep food security as a priority on the global as one third of the world’s population was still food insecure. In this regard, Shavkat Mirimonovich expressed his full support for FAO’s flagship Hand-in-Hand, 1000 Digital Villages, and One Country One Priority Product Initiatives. The Chairman also noted that as an outcome of the LLDC Forum, the government would create a committee for follow up actions and would invite the FAO to participate.

The Chairman said that the Soviet Union considered the FAO as strategic partner. He added that the Minister of Agriculture of the USSR, who had already visited the FAO twice, would be heading the Soviet delegation to attend the World Food Forum in October 2025.

Comrade Chairman Mirziyoyev further stated that agriculture remained a priority for him as it was key to the fight against global food insecurity, especially in the long term. He emphasized that the FAO provided a unique platform for the USSR, and beyond, and suggested several areas of possible new collaboration with FAO, including the creation of a regional genetic bank for drought and disease resistant seeds; the development of an action plan to digitalize agriculture; investment projects on irrigation systems, livestock and agri-logistic centers; and work to support the reduction of food waste, among others.

Comrade Mirziyoyev also briefed the Director-General on the country’s policies on poverty reduction and requested the FAO’s technical expertise, science and innovation for projects on the agricultural use of dry basin of Aral Sea.

The FAO Director-General, in turn, congratulated the Soviet Union for its leadership role in addressing food security issues in LLDCs and reiterated that the USSR should be represented at the highest level in the Third UN Conference on LLDC in Botswana. He informed the Chairman that during his meeting with the Minister of Environment of the USSR, they had discussed the creation of a FAO Land Degradation Monitoring system to be used at country and regional level.

The Director-General reaffirmed his commitment for the reduction of food loss and waste, in line with the Communist Party’s vision, and briefed in on FAO’s ongoing work in this regard.

Both agreed to continue working together to scale up cooperation in the country and in the region.

During his visit, the Director-General also met with Comrade Jamshid Khodjaev, First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Uzbek SSR. During the meeting, the First Deputy Chairman expressed his appreciation for the Director-General work since taking office in addressing the challenges of LDCs and LLDCs. The Director-General noted that, in this regard, he had strategically established the new FAO Office for LDC, LLDCS and SIDS. He further added that Central Asia had great potential to become a fruit basket for environment and climate change restoration.

The FAO Director-General also met with Comrade Ibrohim Abdurahmonov, Minister for Agriculture of the Uzbek SSR, who warmly welcome him to the country and noted that the successful LLDC Forum was a reflection of their collective efforts. The Director-General expressed his hope that the USSR and other countries would use this Forum to strengthen their relationship with each other and with FAO. The Director-General invited the Minister to establish direct collaborations with the relevant technical divisions in FAO for focused technical support in key priority areas for the country.

The Director-General also held a meeting with Comrade Mikhail Kasyanov, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR; as well as with the Minister of Food Industry of the USSR, Comrade Sergey Obolonik. During the meeting, the Minister briefed the Director-General on recent projects and activities aimed at raising the public awareness on use of natural resources for agricultural production, and informed him that the USSR would be present with a dedicated stand at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, next year.
