 The Monday letters page is frustrated that all Soulslike games look the same, as another reader comments on Armored Core 6's difficulty. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.uk Sci-fi dreams I have to agree with the Reader's Feature about Mass Effect at the weekend. It's a whole lot better than Starfield, despite being over a decade old, and it's kind of embarrassing how much Starfield steals from it, without doing anything better. However, not only is Mass Effect old but all the space travel is kind of done on automatic, even more so than Starfield. I'd love to see something that was more like Elite or Freelancer from back in the day. There is Elite Dangerous, but I find it very dry and uninteresting, while EVE Online is even worse. No Man's Sky is all freedom and no gameplay, and Star Citizen is… well, we've already discussed that one recently. I really hope that Starfield encourages other space games because for me there is nothing close to the ambition of the old 80s and 90s games, which is a real shame. Star Wars Outlaws looks cool, but I don't get the impression that space exploration is a big part of it. I want a game like No Man's Sky but with a proper story and characters and some actual fun missions. Nothing at the moment is really anywhere close to the dream games I imagined as a kid. Orgen For me, it's always like this I have spent the weekend going through Silent Hill 2 and it is a masterpiece, without a doubt. The gameplay is fine, but it is the ambiguous story that makes it so great. The whole hotel scene is brilliant, and I haven't played the game in ages so forgot how good that whole section is and [spoiler redacted – GC] and how James is still in denial. And he then confronts his demons that manifested in Pyramid Head. I usually don't care about stories in games, as I just want a reason to go from A to B, but this game is just so good.
