So, this is one I'm rather interested in, looks like a celtic-inspired Dark Souls from the people who made DMC.

Is Shadow of Mordor a short enough campaign? I bought it but it's been sitting there because I keep thinking it's going to be a multi-mission collectathon slog. I might start on that next…

Nah, it's like 14-16 hours long. You can potter about longer (if you want) killing more orc chiefs and collecting parts of a super bow or super sword. But I did all that and was still only at like 18 hours. It flies by too at a handy pace imho

Padding and filler is almost like a pathological flaw with video games as a medium. Endless respect to the ones that can do their thing without indulging.

Shadow or Mordor and Titanfall 2 showed me that good campaigns under 16 hours is perfectly acceptable, and in fact, much more appealing to me now

It would be nice to see more games like this being made. Short but solid games being sold at a decent price.

I might actually complete more games if they were like that.

40+ hour collect a thons can sod right off.

Yeah fair enough. For €30 you can't complain about a great quality 6 hour game.

I don't mind it being short, especially at the price, if it's going to be good. After recently slogging through Arkham Knight, I'm happy to play a couple of shorter games and I've just made my way through Inside and Firewatch which were both very short but very satisfying.

Though? Typically knocks a game up several points in my book :pac:

Played a bit of this last night. Its definitely an interesting game and I was surprised by the perma death thing. The combat is pretty smooth, and on PS4 Pro, you can choose between 60 FPS and better resolution. Went for 60 FPS for this. The game looks great in this mode and it has so far played smoothly for me on my Pro.

The atmosphere for the game is excellent, and if you have virtual surround sounds headphones or speakers, its well worth using them for this.

What I played so far is that the game is a mix of story, simple puzzles and combat.

Just read the IGN review of it (i don't normally read reviews or base anything on them), and i'm intrigued. Sounds like a good experience, even if the running time is relatively short (6 hours). I wonder would it be better to hold off and wait for a VR version, sounds like the kind of game that would suit it.

Plus, the possibility of perma-death and the game deleting your save file for dying too often... Interesting!

Surprised there hasn't been any talk about this. Released today I think and only costing €30. It looks like a pretty impressive looking game from a team of 13 people and it's picking up pretty decent reviews. Anyone planning on getting it?

That looks dog rough, in my opinion. Still a good while before it comes out though so maybe it'll be more polished then.

That's a real interesting camera angle for a melee action game :eek:

Haven't played any of Ninja Theory's previous games (yet anyway, DmC has been on my wishlist a while) so I don't know, this just seemed really fascinating to me.

On the fence with this. Ninja Theory for me were all about bland dull battle systems and awful writing until DMC. That game very almost had a great battle system but was ultimately not as good as the games it was based on. The story was utter gash though. Hopefully they learned a lot from DMC because it was very nearly great. Don't mind if the story is bad if the game is fun but some improvements in that area would be welcome as well.

Heavenly Sword, Hellblade. Sounds like the two same voice actors for Nariko and Kai from Heavenly Sword, the character looks like Nariko and has the same kind of hair.

If this isn't a sequel/prequel then Ninja Theory aren't being very original.
