Absolutely agree with this. I love my SD for the same reasons you mentioned - allowing me to be closer to family, using it on the commute or travelling for work or just picking up for a quick 10mins here and there. But if none of these situations apply to you then I think the SD might not be worth it - it’s great at what it does but if you spend all your gaming time at a desk or in front of a tv then a PC or Console is the better choice imo.

Aside from when someone posted a spoiler on a thread about football about a game I was playing I’ve managed to avoid spoilers for both tv shows and games. In my first comment I mentioned avoiding both social media and YouTube as I would personally avoid both if actively trying to avoid spoilers for something - you however have stated on two separate occasions that YouTube has spoiled things for you both in your original post and about red dead 2. It seems your problem is predominantly YouTube and actually staying off it or not using it so much might actually be beneficial in your case?

Just stay off YouTube until you’ve played? I don’t really use it so I don’t know how it works but I imagine when a new game is released videos pop up everywhere. People are entitled to make videos. Also, where does it stop? Like is the threshold when YOU personally have played the game, then it’s ok? Because there will always be someone who hasn’t got around to playing it yet - but that’s on them and that’s why they have to take responsibility themselves if they want to avoid spoilers.

Are spoilers ok? No, not really. But you’re never going to avoid them because between people genuinely making content and just idiots who make it their goal to post spoilers everywhere to purposely upset people you’re never going to escape them completely unless you take responsibility.

Tend to agree with the first few comments here, essentially you need to take responsibility yourself as it’s not up to other people to protect you from spoilers. If you haven’t had chance to play the latest game yet but you want to avoid spoilers then simply stay off social media/YouTube, you can’t expect the world to stop for you.

It’s a slow starter during the first hour but definitely picks up, I’d say it’s a similar pace to last of us and has some similarities in gameplay - the story is really great too. If you have gamepass I believe both games are on there, if not the original generally tends to be quite reasonably priced.

You seem to like similar games to me, as I also didn’t get on so much with Witcher or RDR2 so my other recommendations might be the tomb raider trilogy and Alan wake.

Have you tried the plague tale games?
