Played quite a bit more now and unlocked almost everything so my runs have become a lot more interesting and successful. It is as daft and charming as ‘…Tax Evasion’ and that is my favourite part.
I wasn’t overly keen on the gameplay loop to begin with but now I’m losing 90 minutes doing just one more run and definitely open to other games in genre now. Top turnips!

@Bundersvessel wow those are some deep runs! I don't think I ever had more than 15/20min max where I gone everywhere and after killing a bunch I got the poison launched at me
@Balta666 Oh, no they’re the longest runs available but I’ve been losing more of my evening than I expected thinking I would only do one more run before bed haha I don’t think I explained that very well.
On the gas front, is there a mask that comes available at all?

@Bundersvessel not that I am aware off. I think is just either don't kill the cops to avoid getting the warning level to 5 stars (easier said than done) or get the hell out fast
@Balta666 Ah fair enough, it doesn’t look like there is a five star flavoured achievement so probably not.
I opened up the last two sections of maps this morning, the mecha-chad boss was a pushover, I think I might have levelled up too much too soon doing grindy runs 🤷

@Bundersvessel it is fairly easy to grind "too much" as I find that finding the bosses is the hardest part of the game lol. Also not sure if everyone else has the same experience as me but after getting the grenade launcher that was pretty much my only used weapon.
Taken down the Super Fox and the coffee guy and now opened up what I expect to be the final stretch. The fact I wasn’t expecting a great deal has made enjoying it much more satisfying and it is excellent in bite size chunks, a good on the side game.

@Balta666 I wrote a reply then pure Xbox went west 🤷 I think if they expanded on levels, weapons and upgrades it may introduce some balance. Having said that, just like the first game, it is fun and that is what matters ultimately, especially when I’m playing Lies of P concurrently 😂

Had a lot of fun with this though it wasa shame you had to re-fight all the bosses instead of having a more unique endgame.
The achievements were pretty straightforward too, go everywhere and do everything you pop them pretty easy, though I didn’t know hats were awarded through inbox too so if you’re missing hats check your phone.
Great little time though I think the first game is still my favourite 👍
Not sure what to vote on for April just yet. Something short would be preferred since I'll be diving into Diablo IV at the end of the month and it'll consume April for me.
@gingereno42 Hey buddy, been thinking about the discord/group chat thing and would definitely be cool to set something up. I currently have one running with a couple of folks off push square which you’re more than welcome to join or perhaps we get an Xbox one running? I seem to remember Challenger running a group on console many moons ago but not sure what happened to that.
Food for thought anyway mate 👍

I think I have done everything I am going to do with it.
Ive done both DLC's. Notable points include the boss of the first DLC having a pun name that gave me my first good laugh! The second DLC has a very meta boss (perhaps as usual) that would probably make more sense to me if the online multiplayer was still active. I am guessing it is something to do with that or some community video thing.
The second DLC did have quite a cool sequence that felt like it was ripped straight out of an early 2000s' gamecube era game where you go inside your Xbox! This was quite interesting really.
Just today, I finished off all of the green circle challenges. I got a gold medal in almost all of them except a couple weapons challenges, a few Buck National challenges and a fishing challenge in the DLC. I got the achievement for getting X amount of gold medals so I am satisfied to leave those more tedious (to my taste) challenges be.
There seemed to be a fair amount of interest over at Push Square in having this game ported to Playstation but unless they just left it as is and ported it (which somehow would be a disservice to the game itself) they would either have to add dialogue referencing the jump in platform because so much dialogue is Xbox specific or they would have to re-record it to be about Playstation instead. Somehow, I think the former and poking fun at the idea of the port would probably be a little more on brand for this game.
So I have finished now, I don't think I will pick it back up again. I got all the guns except one. I didn't realise that the clothes used a different currency to the guns so I bought a load of clothes to get the achievement (not that I was much interested in customising my character anyway). I also didn't realise that you can just buy the amps without having to do those tedious tower defence sequences. So some stuff I kind of missed out on during my playthrough really.
Hello everyone and happy gaming! It is that time of the month when I ask you for some votes for next month. As always anything either on the suggestion list (see my signature) or something else on GP not played before.
Given that Forza Horizon 5 is not on the list I would suggest that we add it (It's a game that I have always wanted to play). As for April I would want to cast a vote for Wo Long Fallen which is a Soul like Hack and Slash action adventure game from Team Ninja . Now I think that one of the pros of playing Wo Long is that it would not take to long for us to beat it. That being said I hope this will not be the only suggestion for April.
