Haven't looked at the updates in a while. Have to wait until early next year for the physical kickstarter goodies, but it looks like the beta should be available soon!

I've not played the first 4. I already saw earlier on the steam recommended bit where people do reader reviews that they said it isn't necessary to play the previous ones, but that one should play.. it might have been the first two or something. Any thoughts on that?

You should defo play the first 2 at the least, its not like other games in that older versions seem dated as the first 2 have more or less the same artstyle and all of the games have the same gameplay mechanics so no reason to jump straight into the latest game.

Plus if you don't like the first game, you'll probably not like any of the others and its much cheaper going that route just incase !


Have played a good 5 or 6 hours so far, loving it.

I have an obscene amount of games to play so I'd not get to it any time soon. It feels like I'd be lucky to get to it before the 2020s at this stage[/exaggeration]

Got about two hours of it in yesterday, pregnancy brain makes it all the more challenging!
I'm in love with the Voice of George Stobbart!
Definitely at least play 1 & 2, if nothing else they introduce the setting, the characters and how they met and give you some memories that would explain inside jokes etc. Third one was pretty awful with way too much jumping about and climbing, fourth one was only marginally better (and probably because of the pretty gfx).

This one has definitely found the meeting in the middle so to speak!

That's Rolf Saxon in case you're wondering. I think he's mainly done stage work recently. He's been in a few films too, like Saving Private Ryan, and he was the guy Tom Hanks dropped in on in Mission Impossible.

Unfortunately, it's just the voice I'm in love with, attached to George himself
I was very disappointed when I saw what he looked like back when I was 13
