Should I buy/play - gaming suggestions

Having never played any of the Arkham games, would this be a good buy given the complete collection is on discount for the Xbox Black Friday special?

I thoroughly enjoyed and partially love the Mordor games which I believe share very much the same combat styles.

The Arkham games are awesome, especially Asylum and City, and I’m not even a fan of DC comics or Batman.

I LOVED Asylum, but City took some time to click with me. When it did, I binged it until the end. Never much cared for Origins and didn’t get too far into it and still want to love Knight, but don’t have time to play it.

I don’t think font’s have anything to do with it. You guys are all just craving a beer!

I’ve actually put in quite a few hours into this.

It’s a lekker, comfy game. Quite easy to play and enjoy. Essentially, you walk around gathering resources to renovate BnBs for guests. You also craft items to furnish the rooms etc.

I don’t usually play this genre much, the last game like it that I played a bit, was Sim Theme Park. It’s not a deep or complex game, but it strikes a good balance between being engaging, while not requiring too much effort. It’s a charming and comfy game.

Thanks for the input. Maybe I could do some morning streams to really fit the ā€˜bear and breakfast’ theme :sweat_smile:

Given @LazyDemoni recent post on the Ninja Gaiden trailer, conversations with @Wlad, and given that they are available on Game Pass, shoud I play all or any specific Ninja Gaiden games?

Convince me why I should play them as I literally know NOTHING about them. I am not even familiar was genre or category they fall into.

I would play all, in chronological order.

The story isn’t super important, so nothing is stopping you from starting with the new, remade NG II Black. I think that was their intention, to get new players in with the most modern looking game.

On GamePass, you get the Master Collection. These are the Sigma versions of the game, and are perfectly good.

I would start with NG1, but if it feels a bit dated, try the new, NG II Black. Skip the Sigma version of NG2. I revisited NG1 yesterday and I still love it.

As to why you should play NG in general. The flow of combat and movement is unmatched. I love DMC, I love Bayonetta, but NG does its own thing. It’s a more raw and subdued affair.

The brutal but spectacular execution of combat is sublime. The feel is just so good. The movement and attacks convey a sense of the power you wield. But you are far from invincible. It’s a beautiful symphony of chaos and control.

You should play them because you can’t play Nioh 2 on your Xbox. I was playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma from the Master Collection but I got stuck at a platforming section and now I’m playing Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and loving it. Just play it, you’ll love it.
