@Rich33 A shadow drop doesn't always mean a bad game. Hi-Fi Rush and Metroid Prime Remastered were both shadow dropped. As for Oblivion, sure it had its technical issues, but it was far from unplayable. I bought it the minute it became available and I enjoyed it for the most part.
@themightyant Most people browse the store though? They don't just stick to the front page. If someone wants to browse the new games they have to scroll through a lot of junk to find a legit game.
@themightyant Go on the "Wishlist" section under "Collections" and most of it is shovelware. Also, when I go on "New games for you" the majority of games are shovelware.
@themightyant Have you been to the PlayStation Store recently? It's pretty much in your face, to the point where there's nearly as much shovelware as there are legit games!
@Hootnoodle I played through that for the first time a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it. One of those games that made me wonder why I didn't play it sooner. I don't get all the average reviews at all.
I'm playing through a game called Blood of Mehran. It's sort of like Assassin's Creed meets God of War, except with a fraction of the budget. It's definitely got it's problems, but I'm enjoying the gameplay enough that it doesn't feel like a chore to play.
Hopefully going to also be cracking on with Borderlands 4 and Coral Island, both in co-op.
Currently playing through it as I type this. I haven't played any of the previous versions of VII, so this will be a day one buy for me if I've finished Trails Beyond the Horizon before then.
PS5 has a massive library, so Sony are never going to pick 3 games that everyone is happy with. They could add God of War Ragnarok or Spider-Man 2 and you'd still get people complaining. I'm looking forward to trying all 3 games.
@Zeroo I just find it to be a very pleasant looking game. Bright, colourful, picturesque towns, green fields, blue skies, detailed characters. I've always liked how Falcom games look and this takes it to the next level.

I'll replay it on PS6 when Square-Enix release it and it's two sequels as one big game.

Re: Sony Nukes Thousands of Shovelware Games from PS5, PS4
@themightyant It's on the "Latest" tab, just above "Pre-Orders".
Re: Sony Nukes Thousands of Shovelware Games from PS5, PS4
@themightyant The homepage is mostly curated. Go on "New Games" and it's a different story...
Re: Sony Nukes Thousands of Shovelware Games from PS5, PS4
@themightyant Have you looked at the new games section? You can't tell me you don't see all the crap?

Re: Sony Nukes Thousands of Shovelware Games from PS5, PS4
Oh good, although I do wonder how Sony will decide where the line between shovelware and a poorly made game is.
Re: Code Violet (PS5) - Gooner Shooter Can't Get It Up
Not gonna lie, I actually like what I've played of it so far.

@Perturbator You should look into modding it. It'll save you a fortune on games.

Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Art Direction of 2025
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter was probably my favourite looking game released this year.

People that mistakenly call the Like a Dragon games Japanese GTA look like they are finally getting the game they wanted.
