Relatively easy<\/strong>
A friend asked me recently which was the easiest FromSoftware game to get into and I honestly wasn\u2019t sure what to say at first. I think Elden Ring<\/a> is generally regarded as the easiest, but I\u2019d say it\u2019s also very confusing in terms of how it\u2019s laid out, with no real instruction, and not really the game I\u2019d recommend for a newcomer.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice<\/a> described as both the easiest and hardest game they\u2019ve done. Personally, I think it comes somewhere in the middle, but I also think it depends on how good you are at the parrying. Dark Souls 2<\/a> is also relatively easy, I\u2019d say, but then I\u2019d also say it\u2019s easily the worst of their games, so again not a great one to start with.<\/p>\n

All of which leaves me with Bloodborne<\/a>, which is both a great game and slightly easier, if you can say that of any From game, than some of the others. Curious to know what other readers think as I do think it depends on your experience and natural aptitude, especially with something like Sekiro.

New kid on the block<\/strong>
This is very strange news about Nintendo<\/a> giving a newcomer the director role on such an important game as Donkey Kong Bananza. And someone that has been at the company for barely five years? I know it\u2019s not entirely certain what he\u2019s worked on before but I feel if it was something major they would\u2019ve said.<\/p>\n

So either he seriously impressed Miyamoto and co. or he\u2019s got dirt on them or something? I\u2019m going to assume it\u2019s the first thing, so that\u2019s very encouraging about the game. Although you\u2019ve got to ask again, why this information had to be dragged out of Nintendo rather than them just saying, \u2018Hey, we got a hot new director, but you can\u2019t wait to see his new game!\u2019

Optimal scariness<\/strong>
Personally, I hope that Resident Evil Requiem does not have co-op, or at least hat it\u2019s not designed around it, like Resident Evil 5. I think it\u2019s neat that every time the series starts to lose its way it edges back to the slower-paced, scarier style of the very first game.<\/p>\n

We saw it with Resident Evil 7 and that\u2019s what it looks like from the footage so far of the new game, and I\u2019m all for that. I just hope it\u2019s not too<\/em> scary. Resident Evil is always described as shlock and I think that\u2019s what Capcom needs to aim for: not too gory or serious or gross, but just scary enough to make you want to test yourself and see if you can handle it.

Console wishes<\/strong>
I’ve come to find wish-listing a very useful tool.<\/p>\n

To be alerted to games on sale, now that back compatibility makes trawling through the sale list an epic undertaking.<\/p>\n

Also, to keep track of the smaller or indie games that catch my eye.<\/p>\n

I do wish the console stores were as good as Steam for wish-listing though. Often that soon-to-be-released obscure indie game that has caught my eye and has been announced for console is nowhere to be found except on Steam.<\/p>\n

I still buy a few games for my old PC but have taken to wish-listing all upcoming games on Steam then, when it’s actually released, add it to the consoles wish list.
