Until Dawn was good to play, Man Of Medan was boring dreck, but ill now watch as a movie instead. Didnt buy any more after MOM...

So Im just taking up my day watching games ill never get time sit and play, or money to afford, as movies on YouTube...

Little Hope was great to watch, and truely wish i'd have played it. House of Ashes seems equally interesting, but im broke, so it'll be a "movie watch" too lol.

The Quarry seems to have an AI tuning mode, where you set character's personality traits and then press play to watch it as a movie, with characters acting as you've told them. Loads of endings, I'm hyped as hell for it.

I don't know much about The Devil In Me, but it looks cool from it's poster.

I got Little Hope and House of Ashes in the mail. I also got Medan long ago. I may jump ahead to Little Hope.
 
LTTP play on my new pas5 pro.

So I waited 3 years to finally play this.
All in all : excellent, had a blast with it.

I loved Until Dawn. I liked Man of Medan but a bit short and plot was less interesting for me than UD. I hated with a passion Little Hope because it was recycling the already seen idea pushed in Man of Medan that what you see is not real.

I was afraid that House of ashes would repeat that trick. Hopefully it did not.

Setting / art direction is top notch. Of course, it's helped by the fact that is relies heavily on grandiose art from mesopotamia that can can find in the Louvre museum for instance. Anyway, they did not betray the original art and I thought it was globally gorgeous.

Plot was interesting and getting thicker by the time. Uncharted 2 vibes obviously at some parts + HR giger, which does not hurts as he's quite a fantastic artist

Performance was good on my ps5 pro, nothing to say. IQ was pristine and had very short load time, which is very nice coming from PS4 pro.

Action was interesting and thought the QTE better done than previous installments.

And finally grabbed it for 9€ which is a steal for the content you get.

So I'll probably get the next installment+ the quarry, cause I had some seriously good time with house of ashes.

Final verdict : highly recommended.
