@Draco_V_Ecliptic Its been a while since I played it so I’m just trying to remember, but I think it’s mostly just feeling your way around. I don’t recall if the map shows a marker to go to but I don’t think so. The map does mark routes are being closed off or opened up depending on what skills you’ve acquired, which is nice, so I think I pretty much just went through each map until all the open routes were explored, knowing you have to eventually come back for the red ones. It’s a lot of backtracking, and that is probably the biggest complaint against the game. It’s very 3D Metroidvania, and with the enemies being sometimes really tough you can lose progress pretty quickly. But the Meditation points are fairly generous usually.

I have this pre-ordered. Should be interesting. Not hugely into Star Wars these days but a bit of space shooty pew pew with friends should be a great laugh. I'll be interested to see how I get on with the VR too.
Also just purchased Spelunky 2, anyone a Spelunky fan?
@LieutenantFatman Are you much of a Dark Souls person or do you prefer Bloodborne?

Bloodborne for the fast paced combat and wonderfully mad trick weapons. And of course they bring with them a better variety of strategies in combat.
Dark Souls 1 probably has some of the most iconic bosses ever though and slightly more memorable characters. So they both have their strengths.
@LieutenantFatman Did you beat Dark Souls 1? I agree whole-heartedly about Bloodborne, harder as it is.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic
Yep, managed to get 100% of the trophies of Dark Souls 1 & 3, and also Bloodborne. Not sure if I'll manage it with Demon's Souls on PS5 but I expect I'll be tempted to try.
@LieutenantFatman No mean feat my friend, statistically, hardly anyone who has played Bloodborne has even completed it. Have you played any Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order? I'm currently playing that, arguably a Souls-like, and I'm loving it. What are your thoughts on the game? If you've played it.

I've yet to have the pleasure, it does look pretty good, so I might borrow it at some point should it be offered. It seems a likely candidate for ps+ as well, so I'd probably give it a go then.
I own a switch, but man this series is very near & dear to my heart & I have always associated it with PS. Sad to see one of my favourite franchises leave PS.
No idea how I’m going to grind 100x hours with the pro controller it’s going to feel so alien...

@nessisonett It’s a Switch/PS4 release in Japan, just exclusive to Switch in the west.
I imagine a complete edition will release on both, but it still sucks.
NIS have supported PS like no other. Disgaea 5 was at the time a next-gen only (PS4) release & it bombed as a result.
Seems like they’re jumping ship to Switch.

@Fight_Teza_Fight
Hopefully a complete edition will release on PlayStation over here as you say, finger crossed.
I never got round to playing D5, is it a funny as D4 was? Loved the comedy in that. The power of sardines!
@JapaneseSonic What sort of games do you play on PS3 or 4 when you're not playing chess then?

@JapaneseSonic Mostly RPGs or action games with RPG elements. A friend once said that most modern action games have RPG elements, so that covers a lot of stuff out there. But I like the Souls series, primarily. I am currently playing Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order which takes a lot of influence from the Souls games, arguably God Of War did the same thing, in fact the developers were open about the influence the games had on God Of War's combat. Did you like the Souls-like elements in that game? Have you played/Are you a fan of the Souls games?

My Universe Pet Clinic Cats & Dogs by Microids has been announced.
I'm glad casual games like Imagine / Petz series has returned on modern console by different developer and publisher.
This series is the next Imagine / Petz series by Ubisoft.
@Arugula No it shouldn't be that bad. Is anyone else in your household downloading something? If not try restarting your router and your ps4. I couldn't connect to PSN the other day and that sorted it.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@JapaneseSonic I couldn't manage Demon's Souls either. I beat Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3 & Dark Souls Remastered though. Give Dark Souls 3 another go if you fancy it, the combat is so similar to Bloodborne that it's clearly worth it.

Soulsborne games generally don't appeal to me but my interest in this subgenre has definitely been piqued by the Demon's Souls remake. It looks spectacular.
Have you played any of the Soulsborne games @Col_McCafferty? or would taking the plunge on the PS5 remake of Demon's Souls be your first foray into the subgenre?
