Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

I'm envy to you guys for able playing PS5 games right now.
I still don't have PS5 machine yet but already have some PS5 games in my shelf. 🥺

@MightyDemon82 Never even considered that, it’s a possibility! He used to pop into my mum’s work all the time lol

@nomither6 What you do with your DualSense when you're not using it on the PS5 is your business...

Playing Horizon FW: Burning Shores, really enjoying it alot

God, it feels like I’ve been playing Midnight Suns forever and I only started act 2 last night

I think I messed up slightly by hitting the side missions so hard in the early game to try and get as many upgrades as possible, build up friendships etc. It hasn’t ruined the experience and I have been only playing it in short bursts but it is getting quite repetitive.

And how does a completely offline game from 2022 not have any pause functionality, particularly during cutscenes??

Started Kena: Bridge of Spirits today and its quality fair play. Don’t tend to gravitate to the more cartoony aesthetic in gaming but I’m liking the visuals here and I’m pretty blown away by the score too. Gameplay is nice and even on normal difficulty, the game puts up some fairly challenging encounters here and there. Agreeing with the general consensus that this is a good little game.

@colonelkilgore Cracking game. The difficulty is a bit over the place, especially with some of the bosses. But you can turn down the difficulty without penalty in terms of trophies. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the story, with it dealing with some themes I was not expecting.

@JohnnyShoulder I’m quite enjoying the challenge of normal mode so far but I’ll see how I go. Corrupt Taro was a really good boss fight and by far the most difficult I’ve faced early doors but I assume that they get even tougher further in.

@colonelkilgore Charming little game and very striking, curious to see what they are working on next. Are you going to use the trick for the hardcore/master difficulty trophy or try it truthfully?

@BearsEatBeets I’m gonna try and glitch it in all honesty mate… though there does seem some inconsistency in how effective the glitch can be. If it doesn’t work I’ll just have to bite down on the mouthguard and take the pain that is master difficulty I suppose.

@colonelkilgore Glad you’re enjoying Kena: BoS. It is a solid game and falls just shy of top-tier greatness. The cutesy art style isn’t quite my forte either, but there some deep gameplay and storytelling to counter the silliness of collecting hats for your Rot. I really think Ember Lab is a studio to look forward to, this being their first real game.

@Th3solution yeah I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for whatever it is they produce next. As far as first games go… it’s pretty much “up there” (wherever “there” is) from what I’ve seen so far.

@colonelkilgore Worry ye not the glitch will work, be sure to take a couple of saves at both points just in case ng+ overwrites the save and don't rely on auto saves as the guide says....just use your manual saves.

I'm still slowly playing my day one copy of Hogwarts Legacy (PS5), keep getting distracted by real life or work.

Hoping to have it done before June, so I can focus on Horizon: Forbidden West + Burning Shores DLC and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order + Survivor.

Ghostwire, the one and only Bethesda game I like. Sorry Bethesda but that's the truth...

@CaptD well I should be finding out by the weekend, as I’ll have a good blast on it tomorrow… and I’ll have Thursday and Friday evening to tie any loose ends up 👍

@JohnnyShoulder @BearsEatBeets @Th3solution @CaptD Kena is actually turning out better than I’d expected. I think I’d actually be closer to a 9 than an 8 if I had to rate it out of 10 right now… some nice environmental puzzles, some really nice tools/skills to use and some of the boss fights are just top tier fair play.

Think I’m pretty close to the end now, done the paths of the warrior and the mask maker, so one more “path” and then onto the end boss from what I gather from the trophy list. Think I might take a time out before confronting the end boss to mop up any missing collectibles etc.

I’d echo anyone that’s raised this previously, Sony should really pull out all of the stops to buy these guys!

@colonelkilgore Cool man, that is about how high I would rate it also.

@colonelkilgore Whoooh, two for two. 😜
In other news, I see there was a remnant live stream tonight plus, this might seem a bit left field but there was a Breakpoint no hud video on gamespot which you might find interesting. Gamespot seemed to have started putting effort into their videos again which is good to see, perhaps they all got an inflation busting pay rise.

@colonelkilgore Good to hear. Gameplay is rock solid. Visuals are crisp, colorful, and unique. I just wish the story was a little better realized. It took a while to get going and still felt somewhat lacking, even though it picks up and makes more sense towards the end.
