Once again, for the 11th year in a row (I think) both Sony and Nintendo have a first party game nominated and Xbox is nowhere to be seen. I would appreciate it if Microsoft would make my purchase of an Xbox a bit worthwhile at least.

I have Nier, not on steam unfortunately but on PlayStation. I tried it but couldn’t get into it because of how open and bland the early areas are. Does it get more interesting and would it be worth pushing ahead? I’ve heard good things about it which is why I bought it but I just didn’t have a good time right away. Sometimes games are like that for me. I would be willing to give it another chance though.

Blasphemous is on sale right now actually for like $6. I played the demo yesterday but I kept getting a color bars visual bug. If you have played it on deck, is that an issue exclusive to the demo? I can’t find any info on it. Thanks for your suggestions.
