Out now on PC and I'm guessing consoles next year.

Getting really good reviews.





 
Interesting. I guess it releases today for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC (no PS4 or Xbox One).

I saw a couple of reviews (60, 8.5) that seemed to vary based on how forgiving you are of jank, graphical glitches, and rough combat. They both mentioned that the strength of the game is that your decisions actually do matter and each area has multiple branching routes and secret areas. Both reviews used the term "Souls-like" very often.

Could be a good buy on the cheap, but it's $40 for consoles right now.
 
Meh. My electric bill doesn't fluctuate with stuff on or off. I can go an entire month my my consoles powered off, and then use them the next month daily, and my bill is the same. Whatever.

I have a fire stick in one room and is extremely slower to fire up the app and navigate than my Xboxes. Not sure what generation the stock is, but can't be bothered to shop for another one online. It's just so much easier to hop between apps and games.
 
I've never used my console for any app, so much easier and faster on my TV without using console hours (yes I'm pedantic like that.

I use my console apps if I happen to be playing a game and decide to watch something on an app. If I’m not playing a game then I default to my TV apps.
