A Short Hike is ace!

Florence - it’s short and sweet.

It supports touchscreen, which works really well, and motion on the controllers - which works very similar to the original on Wii.

I wouldn’t use the analogue sticks, it didn’t even occur to me that was an option. Maybe it’s because it’s a pirate version? Perhaps try supporting indie developers?

PS5 will probably be stuck with using analogue sticks? So that’s likely a miserable experience.

Just as a point of interest, it doesn’t work properly in the Android version of Firefox. Use Chrome.

Guessing it’s the sales tax? Most countries will price things with tax included, not add it on afterwards.

This looks intriguing (also every game should have a Nigel Mode). I’d definitely be up for a Switch version, I don’t get chance to play on anything else these days.

It’s a bit odd, but it only needs the basic subscription. It’s fair enough, I guess, gives a bit of extra value for the subscription. I can see why they wouldn’t want to give access to their entire music library for free.

I certainly started late with gamepads. Through most of my gaming years it was a combination of keyboard and joystick (and later mouse). I didn’t have consoles until the Wii, but I did get the Pro Controller after a while and got on ok with it.

They were good before (and please correct me if I’ve got this wrong) EB bought them and did a “reverse takeover”. Since that point they’ve been going downhill.

Shame there isn’t an ActivityPub/Fediverse option…

I was going to mention this! I don’t think it meets the criteria completely, but it is quite Souls-like in many aspects.

I think the last one I actually completed was Return to Monkey Island. It was good fun!

How about Mrs Mopp?

Obvious one, but the original Tomb Raider.

Absolutely agree, that’s the stuff of science fiction and hopefully stays in the fiction realm.

The issue is that if a crime is committed then the police will be interested in gathering any video footage they can get their hands on (I’ve had it at work where I’ve been asked for CCTV footage from cameras that may have had an outside chance of capturing something important). If a company is sending robots out with cameras on them, and they are recording footage, then that footage is going to be requested (whether the company admits to working with the police or not).

Should there be this many cameras watching our every move? Probably not, but as the cameras are there, they are going to be used, and people should expect to be recorded - especially if they are committing a crime.

Somebody tried to steal a robot and was surprised that video footage from the robot was used as evidence?

Wait, what? How did I not know this? That’s great!
