TA review for Space Marine 2 wasn't that great. Says it's very noticeable that the game is meant to be played in co-op and thus the single player is lacking.
My "hype" definitely went a bit down after readings this.

I got a wife. Does that count?

...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

Yes.

That's better than most users here.

Including me. 🤣



Welcome to the Eurogamer 100, a list of video games that aims to reflect their ever-changing nature. Rather than ranking games by their influence or significance, the below list is a suggestion of the very best things you can play at this moment, according to us. We've aimed to cover the full breadth of what modern video games can be - and in doing so were reminded, suddenly, that 100 games really isn't very many at all - while everything on the list must be legitimately obtainable at the time of writing on current-generation hardware. And crucially, it has to currently be brilliant.

Even when you're playing solo, you have 2 AI teammates at all times. Similar to something like Gears of War.

Not sure what exactly is lacking though. I'm having a great time. If it was purely just myself playing with no teammates, then yeah I could definitely see the argument that the game pushes you to play co-op. But I haven't gotten that feeling at all outside of the opening mission because it's used as a tutorial.

Tetris stands the test of time, it hasn't aged poorly because the gameplay is so simple



Played some CoD MW3 on Gamepass while waiting on the BO6 beta to return. What in heck even is this game? My last CoD was the 2019 Modern Warfare reboot and I don't remember anything like this. MW3 (2023) has maps with cell-shaded cartoon art, a version of the OG MW2 Quarry map set in hell, a map set in a giant underground mushroom forest, laser guns, operator skins that make you look like a roman centurion and a throwable spear weapon, and many other things that seem totally out of place in a game called Modern Warfare to me. It doesn't seem like Black Ops 6 is immune to this issue either, already in the BO6 beta there are operator skins that turn you into a zombie or an android, as well as an electric gun. 

You know what I would love to see from Activision, a CoD built specifically for the OG CoD fans like me, we haven't had one since the remaster of CoD 4 back in 2016. Back to basics in every way possible, if they must have a battlepass for money making reasons then limit the rewards to real world weapons, operator skins that look like actual military uniforms from various countries, etc.
