I've been playing it, and quite literally my only critique is that the benches should be a little closer to the bosses. It is better than I could have imagined. The atmosphere, combat, art direction, music, movement, characters, enemy design, everything. It's incredible.
I hope this is good, but I'm not getting my hopes up up very high. If this game does something genuinely different, that would be great. If it's just another Sony over-the-shoulder action-adventure game with button prompt action cutscenes, then this will definitely be a pass for me.
I cannot for the life of me get excited about this game. It just looks like another 3D action-adventure AAA game. I don't know if I'm just getting old, but these games all look the same to me now. This looks like Uncharted, and Metal Gear Solid, and Hitman, and Indiana Jones... It's all so boring to me now.
@Nalim Or for the days when they even released video games... like, at all. Haha! It honestly blows my mind that Naughty Dog released Uncharted 1, 2, 3, The Last of Us, and Left Behind all within a single game console generation.
I absolutely loved this game, but I have a very difficult time going back to it. I platinumed the game, and I don't really see any reason to go back to it even though I loved it so much.
@johnedwin On the contrary. I love a good sequel if it brings added value to the story, characters, gameplay, and experience. I loved The Last of Us Part 2, Persona 5, Rift Apart, the Uncharted series, Guacamelee 2, and Tears of the Kingdom because those games felt like a significant progression and evolution from the previous games. In contrast, one of my least favorite games of this generation is God of War Ragnarok. For me, if felt like I was playing the exact same game again but with worse pacing.
I'm going to need to wait for reviews for this one. If this game differentiate itself enough from Ghost of Tsushima, then yes, I'll be interested. But if this ends up being just more of the same (like God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, and Spider-Man 2) then I'm going to have to pass on this one.
I must be doing something wrong, because I don't know if I've ever had more buyer's remorse with a console than the PS5. It was fun for about 2 years, but then Sony pretty much stopped releasing first-party games except for played-out sequels and spin-offs, and then they brought everything to PC anyways. Astro Bot and Rift Apart have basically been the only games I've cared about for the PS5. My advice? Take your money, get a device that gives you access to Steam, and get a Switch. You'll be able to play pretty much every game that's on the market, including Sony's games.
I have never had the desire to play any of the GTA games. I feel like a complete outside with all the hype. I just couldn't care less about the series.
I'm not surprised by the lack of a physical version. Due to the tariffs, physical media is about to get substantially more expensive in several parts of the world.
@AhmadSumadi I'm just being realistic. Sony canceled 9 of their 14 upcoming games, Fairgame$ got delayed to next year, and Marathon was a no-show during the State of Play (and it doesn't help that Bungie is a complete mess behind the scenes). That's why I think the only Days Gone is the only first-party Sony game coming out this year.
@get2sammyb Due to all the cancelation, I genuinely believe that Days Gone Remastered is going to be their only game release in 2025. I think Marathon with get delayed to next year.

Re: Sucker Punch Thinks Only 10% of Studio Would Be Hyped to Make Sly Cooper
Here's an idea. What if you let that 10% make the next Sly Cooper game? Crazy, right?

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on 007 First Light?
British Uncharted. Yawn
Re: Preview: Why 007 First Light Is the Most Exciting Game of 2026

Right... But Silksong is coming out

If it's going to be on Xbox, chances are it'll be some live-service game or DLC.

Re: Poll: 5 Years Later, What Do You Think of Ghost of Tsushima?
I absolutely loved this game, but I have a very difficult time going back to it. I platinumed the game, and I don't really see any reason to go back to it even though I loved it so much.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want from God of War Maker Sony Santa Monica Next?
Literally anything other than GoW Ragnarok.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Ghost of Yotei?
@johnedwin I'm not going off of user reviews. I'm going off of my own experience playing each of these games.

Re: Romero Games Shuttered and Over 100 Staff Axed After Xbox Pulls Funding
Could have avoided it? Here's an idea. Cut a few million dollars from the salaries of the heads of Xbox. Boom. Funding found. It's a miracle.
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (June 2025)
Where's Mario Kart?
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Death Stranding 2?
I've never played a Kojima game, and, honestly, with how much everyone talks them up, I've pretty much lost interest in playing any of them.
Re: Microsoft Rivals PSVR2 with Meta Quest 3S Xbox Headset
But it is cheaper than PSVR2, because you don't need to own a console to play games on the headset.
Re: Bungie Delays Marathon Indefinitely, No New PS5, PC Release Date Given
What in the world is going on with Sony this generation? This is wild.
Re: Borderlands 4 a $70 PS5 Game, Offers $100 and $130 Versions Too
Nah, I'm good. Don't want/need it.
Re: Switch 2 Can't Achieve a Great Experience on Big Screens, PS5 Boss Implies
A great experience? How about a non-existent experience? It still feels like Sony hasn't shown up for this generation.
Re: Rumour: Greek God of War Game Is a 2.5D Metroidvania
I love how Cory Barlog took a massive dump on Metroid Dread when that came out...
Re: These 6+ New PS5, PS4 Games Are Coming Out Next Week (2nd-8th June)
Pour one out for any gaming coming out this week that isn't on Switch.
Re: Best SEGA Games on PS5
It makes me sad to see Persona 3 Reload so low, but it makes me SO happy to see Unicorn Overlord so high on the list.

Re: Analytics Firms Predict Pitiful Full-Price Sales for DOOM: The Dark Ages on PS5
I think the vast majority of people who are interested in this game are waiting for it to go on sale, myself included.
Re: Inquiry Already Underway Over Lacklustre DOOM: The Dark Ages Opening
For me, it's that price tag. This game will be around $20 in a year or two. I can wait.
Re: Fairgames, One of Sony's Last Live-Service PS5 Games, Loses Studio Founder Amid Internal Worries
Welp, this game is cooked.
Re: PS5 vs Switch 2: Full Tech Specs Comparison
This is about as apples and oranges as it gets. It's like comparing an iPad to a desktop.
Re: Talking Point: What Should Ghost of Yotei's Biggest PS5 Improvements Be?
My hope is that it's a better evolution from Tsushima than Spider-Man 2 was from Spider-Man 1.
Re: Gallery: New GTA 6 Screenshots Look Utterly Outstanding
Looks impressive, and I'm still 100% not interested in this game.
Re: Gears of War: Reloaded Remasters the Original Game This August, Confirmed for PS5
I'm shocked this isn't an $80 game.
Re: Poll: Are You Disappointed by the GTA 6 Delay?
I have never had the desire to play any of the GTA games. I feel like a complete outside with all the hype. I just couldn't care less about the series.

Re: One of the Best Star Wars Games Ever Is Getting a Manga Adaptation
This is SICK. I love seeing adaptations like this.
Re: PS5 Players See Switch 2 as a Secondary Console, Not Direct Competition
I will go months at a time without playing a game on my PS5... so yeah, the Switch 2 will absolutely become my primary console.
Re: Poll: PS5 Fans, Are You Sold on the Nintendo Switch 2?
Hell, if it weren't for my PS4 game library, I'd sell my PS5 for the Switch 2.

It's cute to think that people still believe Sony is going to release anything this year.
