I need something to play.... I tried Claire Obscur but the first boss made it clear to me that that I simply don't understand its combat system at all. It's not intuitive which is ok I guess but it means I'll have to actually study how to play the game online and that's not something that I enjoy doing, ESPECIALLY this early on. If combat were more straightforward I'd probably be playing that now but it's on hold. I'll go back to it eventually but with a freaking instruction manual in front of me.

I reached the end of the story 2 days ago. Honestly, the combat system is not that complicated. Bosses are difficult but not desesperatly difficult. I felt that I was closer to beat them after every tries. Some of them had me to look at some game mechanics that I didn't really use to their full potential until this fight (picto and lumina).

I still have side quests and exploration to do but I can say that I liked the art direction of the game and itsglobal mood. The story is interesting but I rate Witcher 3, Cyberpunk and Disco Elysium above Expedition 33.

I downloaded Blue Prince from PS Plus extra to play while finishing Expedition 33 and my second Witcher 3 playthrough.

I don't think it's super difficult. It's just that I'm not going to figure out what I'm supposed to do and how I'm supposed to build characters that will work well together if I don't log off and hit some videos or websites. I don't mind complexity, I just prefer that systems kind of ease me into that complexity at first and add more complexity as I've had time to master the first few things. In terms of characters working together - Dragon Age the Veilgaurd had an easier system to understand and that you could get by on until you learned the finer points. Learning it was natural as you progressed the game. There's also not really knowing the class system and how to build for each character which attribute points, pictos, lumina etc) that I'm gonna have to learn.

I think it will be fine once I learn it but it's different enough from what I'm used to to feel like I need an explainer on 'what's this for?' and ''how should I be building my characters?' type deal. It's just frustrating when you want to jump into something and realize there's a little bit of homework to do before you can do it and feel comfortable about it.

Cyberpunk's story gets more timely each playthrough. Especially the in-game lore about the destruction of the first net and the AIs beyond the Blackwall. TW3 is amazing. I've replayed it nearly every year + DLC since it's been out. Ironically, I bought Disco Elysium last night on sale for $7.50 (hard to beat that). I had over a hundred hours in it from when it was on services. And had been wanting to play it again. That game is a mood more than anything but I love it.
