Re: Talking Point: Are You Enjoying 'High On Life' On Xbox Game Pass?

I love the creative weapons and the feedback they give when you're shooting baddies, I like the creative worlds and even the platforming elements - the first time a shooter nails it.

Honestly, Eurogamer's 'Avoid' on this title is their s***tiest review in ages. High on Life is like a first person Ratchet & Clank - it's a fun fest.

Honestly? I think it’s Halo Infinite that’s gotten to its actual form with the brilliantly implemented online coop mode. As it’s not in the list, it gets the remaining 1 point from me:

1. Elden Ring
2. Deathloop
3. High on Life
4. Tunic
5. Halo Infinite

Bonus point? Beacon Pines. Completed and loved it.

Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels

The racing itself isn't interesting to me honestly, and in the first B Class-tier everything feels very easy, even on Highly Skilled.

However, did complete all missions in the tier, and will want to complete the next tiers as well. It's great to tick some boxes and have some missions in Forza again.

To be honest, Hot Wheels' structured mission setup could work great for the entire game!

@Stoned_Patrol Strongly disagree. The regular Horizon (4 or 5) has a certain sweetspot between arcade and precise racing, but you won't see any of it back on Hot Wheels-like tracks. That wasn't the case in 3's DLC and wasn't the case in the user generated weekly Hot Wheels-esque tracks so far.

Motorsport is boring to me. I can't get enough of Horizon's sweetspot - but Hot Wheels certainly doesn't do it for me.
