Submerged (Xbox One) <1.59>

Not a bad little game so far; a kind of child-friendly Tomb Raider thing with lots of climbing but no combat and, as far as i'm aware, no way to die. So it's just gentle exploration with a boat and telescope looking for new buildings to climb. Usual price is £15.99, so it's a decent discount at the moment.

Jesus, do they normally want £16 for that? I played it a few years back and it was some mildly diverting jankiness for an hour or so but £16 would've been utter robbery for it.

Sounds a lot like Uncharted 4.

Yeah, it's definitely not worth that, but certainly happy at £1.59.

Is there any feature differential between Steam and PS4 or is that just for the pretties?

Pretties. And better VR hardware.

And: my PS4 NMS is on disc, and my PS5 will be discless, and my PS4 Pro has a wonky disc drive. So I'm about to lose access to the PS4 version.

<1.99> The Chase: Ultimate Edition (Amazon Fire TV)
<3.99> Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (Amazon Fire TV)

Bought these just for some "mindless" quizzing entertainment while sat bored on the couch.

Pleasantly surprised by The Chase game, they've put quite a lot of work into making it "Chasey".

The WWTBAM one can fuck off though, it looks and sounds like something I could knock together in Unity in a few hours even with my shitty knowledge of the platform.

Also just occurred to me I didn't post my Quest 2 pre-order.

I’d never heard of it. It looks quite poor.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Sun Oct 11, 2020 9:04

I bought it while cheap to co-op, because even quite bad things can be good co-op

It was at about that time we realised the campaign didn't allow you to play co-op.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49252

That is exactly what happened

It’s a good job you can get refunds on Steam quite easily. We did it with Resi Raccoon when we realised you needed Games for Windows Live.
