Carrying on with Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. It's just such a pleasant, upbeat game. I'm currently on Chapter 3, so hopefully I've still got a little while to go before I finish it.
Looks amazing. I'll definitely be trying this out. I've found myself enjoying free to play games quite a bit recently. I even got the plat for Throne & Liberty without spending a penny, so I'm hoping that I can enjoy this without being bombarded with all the faff that's associated with free to play games.
Can't wait for this. The Trails series are some of my favourite games. Hoping to be done with Tainted Grail by Friday so I can get straight on this. If you haven't tried the demo, then I recommend it. It's longer than some games!
The best looking game from a technical standpoint is definitely Death Stranding 2, but one of my favourite looking games in recent memory is the Trails in the Sky remake. There's just something about it that I love.
I know games can take ages to make nowadays, but it's still hard to believe that the PS5 has been out for 5 years now and this will be Naughty Dog's first new game and who even knows when it'll be released. I'm really looking forward to it though and think it'll be worth the wait.
My brothers and I got one a few years after launch. I remember it like it was yesterday.
I currently have my PS3 Slim hooked up to a CRT and use it exclusively as a PS1. I still use it pretty regularly. I was playing Mega Man Legends 2 yesterday.
I'm really glad they decided to bring it to PlayStation. I'm really enjoying playing the campaign in co-op again. The platinum trophies description all but confirms that there are more Gears of War games on the way. The description says "Your adventure is over, for now..."
@Balaam_ I don't think trophy lists can cater to everyone, otherwise they'd be too easy. A platinum trophy means nothing if everyone and their Mum has it.
@Kidfunkadelic83 It's in wide-screen and there's an option to toggle between tank controls and more modern movement, but other than that it looks like it's identical to the original release.
I was interested in this, but the demo turned me off. It all feels very generic and I didn't really like that bosses have multiple health bars. It's made worse by the fact that there's another bar below that you have to wear down before you can make a dent in their health. That was in the "Adventure" part of the demo, so I'm not sure if every boss is like that, but it was enough for me to turn it off as soon as I realised the boss had a third health bar.
As with all these releases, I'll at least give it a go. Zenless Zone Zero really clicked with me, but I couldn't get into Genshin Impact or Tower of Fantasy.
Not back at work until Tuesday, so I'll be having a Death Standing 2: On the Beach marathon. Hoping to finish it before Metal Gear Solid ∆: Snake Eater releases. Might also play a bit of Delta Force on the side.
Playing it now. I always forget how much I love the setting of these games. I just like existing in that world. Taking my time, exploring every house, talking to every person. This series really clicks with me.
I finished Resident Evil 2 for the first time on PlayStation a few weeks ago (Played it on a CRT TV and it was glorious), so I would of liked trophies just as an incentive to play through it again.
I'll be playing Echoes of the End. I didn't know a lot about it and went in blind. Seems to be a pretty well made game that's similar to the recent God of War games. I'll also be playing some more Battlefield 6.
The main character is voiced by the same person that voices the main characters in Hell Is Us and the last couple of Deus Ex games, if I'm not mistaken.
I'm liking it so far, but it's taking its time getting going. I've been playing for over 2 ½ hours and and am yet to fire a gun. The graphics are gorgeous though. Lots of picturesque views. I'm interested to see where the story is going, too.
I've pre-ordered it. I'm not expecting anything amazing, but as long as it's a decently made, linear, story driven game then I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Hell, doesn't even have to be well made, I did enjoy MindsEye after all.

Re: This Exciting PS5 Single Player Game Is Not Resident Evil, But It Sure Looks Like It
Definitely something I'll be keeping an eye on.
Re: Gungrave G.O.R.E. Is Getting a Full PS5 Remake Just 3 Years After Its Original Release
Hopefully people that own the original game get a free upgrade or at least a discount.

Re: Preview: We Played Anime Open World Ananta, and It Could Change Everything
Shut up and take my money... Is what I would say if I wasn't going to download it for free and not spend a penny.
Re: Seriously, What's the Catch with Ananta? Free PS5 Open Worlder Looks Mental in Uncut Gameplay

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Silent Hill F?
Bought it, but I'm currently in the middle of Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. Once I'm done with that I'll be cracking on with it.
Re: This Unreal GTA-Inspired Anime Open World Lifts Influences from Spider-Man, Power Slap, and More
Really like the vibes of the trailer.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Multiplayer Goes All-Out with 18 Maps at Launch
I was surprised to see it's coming to PS4.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 599
The release of a new Trails game is always a big event for me, so if course I'll be playing Trails in the Sky 1st chapter... If I can shift this pounding headache. 😩

Re: Creepy Viral Hit POOLS Takes the Plunge on PS5 in November, Playable Demo Out Now
@GMaster7 Exactly my thoughts. I tried the demo and it was ok, but I got bored knowing nothing was going to happen.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Borderlands 4?
I'm not sure when I'll be getting it, but I'm looking forward to co-oping it with my brother.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 598
Finished Hell Is Us, so I've moved onto Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon. It took me a while, but I'm really getting into it now.
I'll hopefully also be playing Coral Island co-op.
Re: 'More People Will Experience Our World': Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy Sheds PS5 Exclusivity
@PuppetMaster I don't think it's a fair comparison. The newest Final Fantasy is always a big event.
Re: Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection (PS5) - A True Look at What Could Possibly Go Wrong
Bubsy 3/10.
I want this specifically for Bubsy 3D. I vaguely remember playing it growing up, but I think I've blocked out most of those memories.
Re: What PS5 Games Have the Best Graphics?
The best looking game from a technical standpoint is definitely Death Stranding 2, but one of my favourite looking games in recent memory is the Trails in the Sky remake. There's just something about it that I love.
Re: Dragon Quest 7 Returns in Reimagined Form, Out for PS5 in February 2026
I'm glad they didn't go with HD-2D.

Re: Digimon Story Time Stranger Demo Out Now on PS5, Save Data Carries Over
At first I wasn't keen on it, but by the end of the demo I wanted to play more. I'll definitely grab this at some point.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS1 at Launch?

Re: Overlooked Elder Scrolls-Like RPG Tainted Grail Just Got a Gigantic Update on PS5
@Kiefer-Sutherland I stand by Unknown 9!
Re: Action Game Lost Soul Aside Improves with New PS5, PC Patch
I think if the game was easier I'd get it, but the amount of health and armour the boss had in the demo really turned me off.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 597
Cronos: New Dawn or Hell Is Us. I can't decide! Both are brilliant.
Re: Match-Three RPG Puzzle Quest Returns in Immortal Edition on PS5, PS4 This Month
Oooh, definitely interested in this. I played through Puzzle Quest 3 and thought it was pretty good.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for September 2025?
I'm surprised to see Psychonauts 2, what with it being a Microsoft game.
Re: Sony Finally Fixes Free PS5 Game on PS Store, Access Not Yet Revoked
Me right now...
Na, it seemed decent enough, but I'm not really bothered if I loose it.
Re: Gears of War Reckons It's Ended the Console War as Reloaded Tops 1 Million Players

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 596
I finished Metal Gear Solid ∆: Snake Eater yesterday, so I'm tempted to do a second run and go for no kills. That or I'll be starting As Dusk Falls.
Re: Cult Classic PS1 Adventure Fear Effect Is Suddenly Available on PS5, PS4
@JonTheGod This is completely different from the other PS1 releases. It has nothing to do with Sony.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Metal Gear Solid Delta?
@SuperSilverback I'm reaching the end of the game and it's been perfectly playable.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Metal Gear Solid Delta?
@Balaam_ I don't think trophy lists can cater to everyone, otherwise they'd be too easy. A platinum trophy means nothing if everyone and their Mum has it.

Re: Cult Classic PS1 Adventure Fear Effect Is Suddenly Available on PS5, PS4
Kinda disappointed. I was hoping it would be a proper remaster.

Re: Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive Scraps Gacha for Proper, Premium PS5 Release Next Year
Looks promising. The main character sounds like every anime guy ever though.
Re: Preview: Rolling the Dice on PS5's Next Big Gacha, the Anime Open World RPG NTE
As with all these releases, I'll at least give it a go. Zenless Zone Zero really clicked with me, but I couldn't get into Genshin Impact or Tower of Fantasy.
Re: The New Assassin's Creed Mirage DLC Isn't Suspicious at All
@TruestoryYep I've never understood the hate for Ubisoft. Sure their games aren't groundbreaking, but name me one genuinely bad game they've made?

Re: Hands On: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Feels Like a Huge Step Forward for Falcom's RPG Series
@pharos_haven It's a remake of the first game in the series, it's the perfect place to start!
Re: Trails in the Sky PS5 Remake Demo Out Now, and It's a Must-Play for JRPG Fans
Playing it now. I always forget how much I love the setting of these games. I just like existing in that world. Taking my time, exploring every house, talking to every person. This series really clicks with me.
Re: Hands On: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Feels Like a Huge Step Forward for Falcom's RPG Series
@Korgon Great, and there was me just about to go to bed! Sleep is overrated anyway!
Re: Hands On: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Feels Like a Huge Step Forward for Falcom's RPG Series
When is the demo releasing?
I absolutely love how this game looks. I'm already a big fan of how most of Falcom games look and this looks like a massive leap forward.
Re: Resident Evil 2, 3 PS1 Ports Disappoint with No Trophy Support on PS5, PS4

Re: These 11+ New PS5, PS4 Games Are Coming Out Next Week (11th-17th August)
Definitely recommend Midnight Murder Club. It's an absolute blast with friends.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 593
I'm at work atm, so playing something a bit different while I'm on my break.
It's called Audio Adventures and it's a choose your own adventure audio console. I'm currently playing through a game called Bewilder.
Once I get home from work I'll be trying out Battlefield 6 and carrying on with Welcome to Paradize and Mafia: The Old Country.
Re: Round Up: Total Lack of Mafia: The Old Country PS5 Reviews Is a Red Flag
I'm liking it so far, but it's taking its time getting going. I've been playing for over 2 ½ hours and and am yet to fire a gun. The graphics are gorgeous though. Lots of picturesque views. I'm interested to see where the story is going, too.
Re: Round Up: Total Lack of Mafia: The Old Country PS5 Reviews Is a Red Flag
I've pre-ordered it. I'm not expecting anything amazing, but as long as it's a decently made, linear, story driven game then I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Hell, doesn't even have to be well made, I did enjoy MindsEye after all.
