Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@CaptD aye… just the one if memory serves 😉

Unicorn Overlord, I figured I'd get some use out of plus+ and so far it hasn't disappointed. I understand the hype now.

@GirlVersusGame
Good to hear, Unicorn Overload is next on the list for me after I finish Lies of P.

Just finished Epic Mickey Rebrushed, starting Avatar Frontiers of Pandora

@Bentleyma thanks for bringing Echoes of the End to my attention. I’ve marked it in the wishlist to keep an eye on. It does appear to have some jank, but I really enjoy the AA efforts and this one looks like it might be alright. Maybe like A Plague Tale in the sense of lower budget attempts at the Sony action cinematic formula.

But I still have a couple more of the actual Sony action adventure games to play yet so I’ll put it on the back burner. I need to play God of War Ragnarok before “Girl of War” which I saw some people calling this one. 😅

I started Shinobi: Art of Vengeance this morning. The reviews are right - this game is incredible. Honestly, while different in many ways, I’d have to say it’s better than Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, which says a lot because I love that game and got the platinum for it.

I'm currently at 210 attack power with my Uchi+3 in Elden Ring, aiming to get it up towards the 600 mark as my playthrough continues, got Str up to 18, min requirements for the Nagakiba I intend to obtain, attained, then gonna get Dex from 71 up to 80 and then level Vigor to 40 before going for the materials for a +6 Uchi upgrade and then gonna go for the Nagakiba.

Just finished Dark Souls 3 & DLC last weekend and started Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN It's such a great game and the DLC was awesome as well.

@Mikeg1965 Definitely, haven't played the DLC yet, but played through the vanilla game beforehand with a Strength build, now going for a Dex-based Sekiro build for most of the game before I access the DLC, (with the same Sekiro 'Wolf' build) which I hear is basically Big Dark Souls 4! Really looking forward to it. Just out of interest, have you played Sekiro or any of the Dark Souls games yet?

I actually played Elden Ring, Demon Souls Remastered and Dark Souls 1-3 and their respective DLC back-to-back and finished Dark Souls 3 last weekend. I just started playing Sekiro last Sunday.
I'm still in the tutorial stages with Sekiro.

@Mikeg1965 Oh, excellent! I still intend to play through Dark Souls 3 again, and play the DLC next year. I hope you post about your progress in Sekiro as I would be interested in seeing how you get on with it after playing thru the Souls games and their DLCs, obvs I'm sure that you have already been told that it's an action-adventure game, rather than being Souls or Souls-like in nature. But ,yeah I hope that it is an enjoyable and rewarding experience for you, as it certainly was for me.

Are you interested in any swords/samurai-based manga/anime stuff like Vagabond or the Kurosawa or Zatoichi films? Or Lone Wolf & Cub for instance? Some of those may take your fancy if Sekiro gels with you.

So far, Sekiro seems more "forgiving" than the previous games Fromsoft put out.

Definitely into the Lone Wolf and Cub (Shogun Assassin) Series it's great! As far as Anime, I'm a big fan of Ninja Scrolls, Berserk, Baki & Hokuto No Ken.

Playing now The Plucky Squire, it's a very cute game

So now I am about halfway towards completing my build for ELDEN RING and ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. I have Dex at 80 and am doing about 215 damage with my Uchi+3, gonna level that up further then get the Nagakiba, after I have obtained the appropriate upgrade materials for the Uchi, then gonna level Vigor to 60 and End to 20, after that, stat-wise, my build will be complete.

Edit: I beat the Crystalian miniboss in Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel this morning, and with the acquired materials I have upgraded my Uchi to +6 and am now doing 258 damage with it, working towards an op build but have to focus on Vig and End next before taking on Margit!

Edit II: Vig was at 20 when I beat the miniboss.

Fantasy Life I PS5.

Right now I have opportunity to farm the Mysterious Slate from Treasure Grove which have a lot of Shadow Monsters over there.
I just simply hunt almost all of them and left at least 1 monster to be unfinished then I quit from Treasure Grove so I can return on the same place and repeat the farming Mysterious Slate again.

@Kraven

I have a feeling that I will like it more than Ragebound too when I finish both eventually. Ragebound, Rogue PoP, Shinobi and Silksong now. We are in the 2D renaisance.

I tried the demo for Rusty Rabiit and it was not good at all. Tone feels weird, gameplay isn't tight, overall I have no desire to play the full version.

It's basically FIST but much inferior. If you are looking for a metroidvania with a rabbit MC; go for FIST instead. 9/10 game.

@HallowMoonshadow I am interested in this as well, Hollow Knight: Silksong , that is. I've put it in my backlog in the approporiate thread, after I complete my FromSoftware/GoT journey. I'd be interested in continuing to read your impressions of the game, so I'd appreciate a tag as you continue to update the PushSquare peeps about your progress. I know ,from what you said, that there isn't a dedicated thread for the game, but, perhaps,.you could create one? Either way, as I said, I'd appreciate being kept in the loop with regard to your progress and impressions of the game.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is absolutely brilliant. It's been an incredible sequel so far and it seems to be much bigger and more difficult than its predecessor.

I'm at the start of Act II after around 20-25 hours and I strongly believe it's one of the best games of the year.

Fancied something a bit more chilled after the intensity of Aliens: Fireteam Elite (although I still will be doing a bit of co-op on that for the foreseeable… and also co-op Raid mode on Resident Evil: Revelations, which gets a bit heavy on the harder difficulties), so just installed Saints Row: The Third - Remastered. I remember quite liking it back on PS3 and enjoyed the hell out’ve Saints Row 4 when I replayed that a couple of years back, hopefully I’ll end up feeling similarly about this replay.
