You guessed it, I'm 105 hours into Octopath traveler 0 and it's still not done. But it is still very engaging. Hope you all have fun gaming this weekend!

@johncalmc Why Coldplay catching strays?

I'm determined to finish Octopath Traveler 0! I'm 97 hours in and just completed the Bestower of Power arc.

The only good thing about this tactic (in general, not for Saros) is that performance issues should hopefully be highlighted before the general public buys a game. Doesn't really apply to 1st Party Playstation games though as they usually are highly optimized. I Kinda wish Crimson Desert would do this.

I'm a big Horizon fan and I'm not interested by this. The art style and the gameplay don't remind of Horizon at all. And brand new characters when there is a wealth of existing side characters that could have been used instead seems like a brain dead decision to me.

84 hrs and still enjoying Octopath Traveler 0 I have the Dragonquest 7 Reimagined demo installed but haven't gotten around to it. And it's Superbowl weekend, hope the Patriots lose. Have a great weekend gamers!

I'm about 50 or so hours in but paused to play Octopath Traveler 0. I'll start back up once the update comes out. Glad we finally are getting what should have been there at launch.

The way I'm far more interested in the NCSoft Mobile game than this is telling. GG fumbled this one.

People keep making the Zelda comparison but I see more shades of Star Ocean 2. Looks like a great time, might preorder it closer to June.

Loved the game and platinumed it. My person GOTY for 2025.

Tell me it won't be well optimized without telling me it won't be well optimized.

@themightyant Very true! Black Myth Wukong's performance targets made no sense. I hope Pearl Abyss don't go down that road.

Not a top quality month but to be honest I find it harder and harder to complain about the PS Plus games every month when game take so long to beat. It's not like I finished (or even started) ANY of the games from December or January so why be upset about a "bad month" when I cant even get to the previous month's games.

78hrs into Octopath Traveler 0 and no signs of stopping, save a brief jaunt into Cyradill. Will I ever finish this game?

Have a good weekend and stay warm gamers!

@LiamCroft Awesome! Hopefully it's soon. I usually gauge how good a game is by how long before release the review embargo lifts. If it the same day as launch 😬....

At work now so I can't watch till lunch but I'm very interested in this game and hope it lives up to the hype. Will have to wait for reviews just in case.

@LiamCroft Any idea on when the review embargo lifts?

@UltimateOtaku91 @Ashina 13 as a stand alone FF isn't as bad a people say. We don't talk about the other 2 or Stranger of Paradise...

WHERE IS MY SEQUEL TO WORLD OF FINAL FANTASY!!??

Launching on the same day (March 19) as the increasingly promising Crimson Desert wasn't really great so this is probably a smart move.

This is actually really great news! Will it get me to reinstall the game? Probably not.

Man I LOVED getting this plat! An absolutely phenomenal game.

Yup, it's more Octopath Traveler 0 as I'm now about 70hrs in. But I also dabbled in a like Oblivion Remastered after a long break. Happy gaming everyone!

Fantastic that people have played and enjoyed this game. My personal GOTY for 2025.

Nothing new for me I'm afraid. Was sick for a week so I haven't played anything 😔 I'll probably go back to Octopath Traveler 0 and HZD Remastered though.

Happy Gaming!

I've been sick so I haven't played anything this week. Hoping to play the Dragonquest 7 Remake demo soon though. Have a great gaming weekend all!

Octopath Traveler 0 has been fantastic these past 57hrs. I actually had played alot of the mobile game a few years ago but the amount of new content they've added makes it feel like a new experience.

@get2sammyb I LOVE the A Rush of Blood to the Head tag line!

For me, I want to buy better games this year. By that I mean not getting swept up by hype only to be disappointed with a purchase ( Triangle Strategy )

I feel bad that I've set Digimon Story Time Stranger aside but I'm really engrossed in Octopath Traveler 0 it's really really good!

Happy gaming !

@Balaam_ Agreed!

Late to the party but I've been playing more Octopath Traveler 0. I'm 40hrs in but it still feels like it's just beginning!

Yeah gotta hard disagree with the PushSquare staff on this one. Right games, Wrong order.

Yeah GoY not being Gold is baffling. It was my personal favorite this year but props to KCD

Ah yes, the Expedition 33 of yester-year! I haven't played this but it would be perfect on Vita. I'll put it on my wishlist.

I'm wading through Octopath Traveler 0 right now and enjoying it after 26hrs. I also hopped on MH Wilds to fight Gogmazios with a friend so I'll probably do that some more this weekend.

Have a great weekend folks!

@Gbarsotini It almost seems like the head of the studio was too busy with The Last of Us TV show to make sure the game was on track.

Hey I actually have this platinum! Earned on April 27th 2016. It's the only 'Borderlands game' I've played but I enjoyed the story.

This will be an Octopath Traveler 0 weekend, just started Ch. 1 of the Master of Wealth.

Happy gaming everyone!

1.Ghost Yotei
2.Monster Hunter Wilds
3. OBLIVION Remastered
I would Have had Digimon Story Time Stranger as my #2 but the editorial staff mistakenly left it off the list. An oversight I'm sure 😅

@Foxhound @Ludacritz I would say $40-$50. I too was disappointed especially with the story content but it can be fun.

I haven't played this game much at all but I remember when it was annouced at the PS4 event right after I think Infamous Second Son. Once again, love the article Stephen. Bring on Plat #3!

My Anniversary was this week so gaming was put on hold but I did buy Octopath Traveler 0 so I'll eventually start that while continuing on in the increasingly enjoyable Digimon Story Time Stranger! Looking forward to reading what all of you are doing/playing this weekend. Cheers 🍻 PushSquare posse!

Time to find out if the reviews are legit or just Nintendo exclusives getting glazed.

Nice article! Looking forward to more of these 😃

After just under 90hours of olay I have PLATINUMED Ghost of Yotei! Definitely my GOTY.
I'm going back to Digimon Story Time Stranger as I'm 41hrs in but only at the Forrest area. But as I'm getting an extra day off before my Anniversary I'm going to get Octopath Traveler 0 on launch day.

Keep on keeping on gamers!

The "real-time with pause" hybrid gameplay mentioned isn't new, it's just new to JRPGs. Transistor had this back in 2014 and Strategy games before that. I have to say I'm quite pleased with current JRPGs though. It's been a great time for the genre over the past 5 yrs or so.

I'm 80% and 80hours into the fantastic Ghost of Yotei which is currently my personal GOTY. After I finish it I'll go back fully to Digimon Story Time Stranger.

I have the demo for Octopath Traveler 0 installed as I suspect I'll buy that eventually, but perhaps after launch.

Have a great gaming weekend folks!

@Oram77 Here Here! Regardless of what TGA panel thinks Yotei is one of the best game of 2025. I'm 76 hrs in and just got to the Oshima Coast.

@Dalamar TBF the Horizon Remake was an actual Remake. You can't mistake HZD PS4 with the PS5 release. This barely qualifies as a Remaster.

So basically this is a PS4 Pro patch cause didn't the game already run at 60? Nothing about that trailer screams "PS5 title" to me.

EDIT: it indeed ran at 50-60 fps on base PS4 buy there was already a PS4 Pro patch. Still underwhelming from a technical standpoint when the PS4 Pro version will run on PS5 Back-Compat.

@AdamNovice the amount of Snubbs this year is horrendous. DS2 didn't even get any performance nominations, Troy Baker got a nomination for Indiana Jones but not Higgs 🤦🏾‍♂️ Not to mention Yotei
