I found PREY the same. There was so much googling it became a chore to play. I actually gave up near the end, over a choice. Like what was the point anymore.

Marvels Spider-Man 7/10 - had the graphics not been outstanding then this would have got 4/10
Having read the reviews and coming directly from HZD I had high hopes for this, alas despite it being a graphical masterpiece the controls are clunky, combat is unclear, and overly complicated for an open world - brawling in Batman made me feel like a superhero whereas Spider-man makes me feel like clumsy idiot. And as for swinging, forget it, I just end up dragging along buildings.
Oh and is there a story? A lot of people say so, but so far there's been nothing to drag me in and make me keep wanting to play it.
I'm sure I'm missing something here, given everybody else raves about it.

Just finished Far Cry 5, and have 40 hours total time play.
No idea how to rate it. It's graphics are staggering. The American countryside is breath-taking. Vehicles rock. The first tractor I saw, I nearly lost it, because it looked real.
Then the game missions are great. What spoils it is the theme. It's about a cult, and they preach at you. While most of the time you can skip the sermons, and general religious chatter, sometimes you can't. Also, whenever cultists are around they are calling you sinner, if they get a chance before you shoot them. .. However I suppose all Far Cry lead enemies and their cohorts do pretty much the same thing. I guess I just don't like it when game that lectures me.
It was a great game that had incredible and massive potential that scaled awesome heights.

It does look like game that I will be interested in, thank you for the detailed write up. Will probably be the next one I purchase.

Marvel's Spider-man - 9/10
Arguably the best Spider-man game ever made, and in my honest opinion the best superhero game ever made.
Great story, simply and intuitive controls that truly make you feel like Spider-man.
Can't wait for the sequel.

I bought a game called Overload on Steam. This is my Steam review of it. (Rating maybe 4/10.)
I got really excited by the demo of Overload, and told a few Steam friends about it. I suggested try the demo.
Then I bought it for £20, which is a lot for me for a game. Since then I have been bored stupid with it. Everything is the same. All the levels are just sort of variations. Game-play is the same. You get different rockets and weapons etc as you progress, but you see that in the demo.
There really is nothing for me, beyond the demo. It's taken me weeks to play three hours, and I am bored with it. I so hope none of my Steam friends bought it on my recommendation, when I was excited by the demo. I will keep trying to play it though.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 - 7/10
The best Call of Duty has been during this generation.
Gone are the jump packs and overly large maps. If it weren't for specialists, might have rivalled Black Ops 2.
Gun play is as solid as ever, and the addition of Blackout was a refreshing change to the yearly CoD formula.

Forza Horizon 4. Racing game that accommodates people who are bad at racing games. Amazing graphics with fun, varied courses. It has an Atmos-specific sound mix that is wonderful.

Shadow of War - 6/10
I bought this because it had really good reviews and was only $8 at Best Buy.
Turns out the controls are awful and they ruin the game.
I played it for a few hours but will not continue I think.
Controls in "Red Dead Redemption" and "The Witcher" were awful too IMO.
Prey - (update)
I originally rated this a 7/10, but I think it now deserves a higher score. Maybe a 9/10!
I actually started over with a new character and it's like a totally different game.
I've now played it through about 3 times!
It's a lot more fun if you pick up everything, upgrade your inventory and make a ton of Neuromods.
It also helps to know how to take down specific enemies. Sometimes just wasting ammo on them without stunning them isn't always best.
I found the game harder early on, but it's gets VERY easy once you fully upgrade your Shotgun and get sneak attack etc.
I think I only use one Alien/Typhon ability and that's for the tougher enemies like the nightmare etc.
The game is slow to me, but always fun now. I take it very slow and explore everything.
It's possible to make a bad character and make the game 10x harder than it should be.
When I started I actually missed the shotgun and stun gun and didn't use the Fabricator and Recycler much.
This is really a MUST for the game IMO.
PS I rarely use the Gloo Cannon. I never was good at using it for mimics.
One negative though is that I didn't like the ending and I wish it would let you continue on after you were done.
You just have to load an old save game.
Hope they make a Prey 2!
