Me and my brother are really enjoying it so far. I love how you never know what you'll end up doing next. I think I still prefer A Way Out though. Something about that game really clicked with me.
4 hours in and it's pretty good so far. I thought I'd like the fantasy sections the most, but it's the sci-fi sections that have impressed me more than anything. Based on what I've played so far A Way Out is still my favourite game that Hazelight have made, but that could change once I finish Split Fiction.
Was originally going to go with Performance mode, but I think the game will look amazing with Extended Ray Tracing turned on, so I'll probably play it at 30 FPS.
Playing it with my brother when he gets home from work and I can't wait. We replayed A Way Out a couple of days ago and it reminded us how much we love Hazelight's games.
I think people should at least try Dragon Age: The Veilguard. I really enjoyed it. I don't think it's quite as good as Inquisition, but it definitely doesn't deserve all the hate it's been getting.
Rare weekend off for me, so I'm hopefully going to do a lot of gaming. I should have Trails through Daybreak II finished either today or tomorrow, then I'll be moving onto Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
I'm also starting a Claire play through on Resident Evil 2. My PS one doesn't get used as much as it should.
Saturday also means that it's co-op day, so we shall be carrying on with Minecraft.
I know it's a few years old, but I'm happy to pay £54.99 for it. Sure it would be great if it's was cheaper, but it's a brand new game to me at the end of the day.
I'm looking forward to this. I've enjoyed all of Ubisoft's recent games. I wonder if the game will end up looking better than Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
My main game atm is Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, but I'm currently taking a short break from it to play the Trails through Daybreak II Story Demo.
@MrPeanutbutterz I agree that the jump between PS4 and PS5 is a lot more than a minor one, but if you read his reply to me several posts below that one then you're proving his point by mentioning Horizon Forbidden West. Yes the PS5 version looks a lot better than the PS4 version, but the PS4 version still looks pretty good and plays well. He's saying we'll see the same difference between PS5 and Switch 2 games.
@Troubbble I dunno, the PS4 version of Black Ops 6 isn't great and we all remember Cyberpunk. I think it'll be a similar situation to what we have now with the current Switch. It'll get some heavily compromised ports, but you'll want it mostly for Nintendo's games.
@Berzep when I think of what Sony were able to do on the PS4 it makes me look forward to seeing what Nintendo will manage to achieve on a console with similar power. God of War looks amazing still. I'd love to see a Zelda game with that fidelity.
Definitely recommend playing Atlas Fallen. I finished it in co-op with my brother the other day and we were both pleasantly surprised by it.
@Dalamar Depends which God of War it was that you played. God of War and God of War Ragnarok are different enough from the older games that you still might like them. Ragnarok isn't the best place to jump in though, as it's a continuation of the 2018 game, so it's best to start with that one.
Mostly be playing the World Tour mode in Street Fighter 6. It's more of a fully fledged game than I was expecting. 14 hours in and I think I still have plenty more to do. It's definitely scratching that Like a Dragon itch.
Should also hopefully be finishing Grounded in co-op as well. Then we'll move onto Raft.
I use it to get free money in my wallet. My friend signed up for it, but I guess she didn't realise what it was because I checked it for her yesterday and she had enough points to get Phasmaphobia, which was handy because I was literally telling her how good it is about an hour earlier.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1-2 Remastered for me. Even now the way you can shift realms or just step through a teleporter instantly really impresses me.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 571
Today I'm going to carry on with Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and then play some Minecraft co-op.
Tomorrow I'll be playing Split Fiction.

Re: SEGA to Have a Quieter Year as It Focuses on Growing Sonic, Persona, Like a Dragon Teams
Just release a Skies of Arcadia remaster and I'll be happy.
Re: Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars (PS5) - Timeless JRPGs Ride Again
I finished Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it, so I'm looking forward to playing these for the first time.
Re: No Objections to Street Fighter 6's Surreal Ace Attorney Crossover on PS5, PS4
I really like that the Ace Attorney games are getting so much attention recently. Hopefully it all builds up to a new game.
Re: Konami Announced a New Suikoden Game, But There's a Huge Catch
Dunno why they didn't just make a proper sequel. Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is proof that people would buy it.
@themightyant Interestingly enough Zenonia did actually release on PS3 under the "minis" label.
Re: 3 New PS Plus Essential Games Live Now, Including PS5 RPG Dragon Age
I think people should at least try Dragon Age: The Veilguard. I really enjoyed it. I don't think it's quite as good as Inquisition, but it definitely doesn't deserve all the hate it's been getting.
Re: Round Up: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Previews Say You Need to Be Excited for This PS5 RPG
I haven't read any of the previews, so I don't know if anyone's mentioned it, but I hope there are towns in this game.
Re: Unofficial PC Port Sparks Fresh Demand for Sonic Unleashed on PS5
@Dragoon1994 Yeah, but it's not the same as the Wii U version, so I didn't count it.
Re: Unofficial PC Port Sparks Fresh Demand for Sonic Unleashed on PS5
We've had Colors and Generations, so I think it's only a matter of time.
I'd rather see Sonic Lost World come to PS5. It's stuck on the Wii U, so not many people got a chance to play it.
Edit: I just found out it also got a PC release.

Re: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Gets an All-New Storyline and Open World In Daima DLC This Summer
I liked this enough to get the platinum for it, but that was a couple of years ago now and I've moved on. it's a shame it didn't come out sooner.
Re: Xbox's Forza Horizon 5 Snatches April Release Date on PS5, Priced at $60
I know it's a few years old, but I'm happy to pay £54.99 for it. Sure it would be great if it's was cheaper, but it's a brand new game to me at the end of the day.
Re: All Your Friends Can Play Midnight Murder Club for Free on PS5
Oh nice. Really enjoyed the beta, so will probably be a day one buy for me.
Re: This Stunning New PS5 RPG from Nacon Needs More Attention
Edge of Eternity was fairly enjoyable, so I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this.
Re: Surreal Management Sim Promise Mascot Agency Opens Doors on PS5, PS4 in April
Not a day one buy, but the demo definitely sold me on this.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 569
Still making my way through Trails through Daybreak II. I'll also be starting Minecraft in co-op.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii?
I have it installed and ready to go. I'll get to it as soon as I'm done with Trails through Daybreak II.
Re: A Free Demo for One of 2025's Most Intriguing PS5 Games Is Available Now
Slightly disappointed that you can't walk around (at least from what I played), but I liked what I played of it. Definitely keeping an eye on this.
Re: Those Classic Final Fantasy Remakes Are Reputedly Still in Development
I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see Square-Enix doing a Final Fantasy IX remake while they're still in the middle of remaking Final Fantasy VII.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 568
Finished the amazing Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes last night, so I shall be starting Trails through Daybreak II when I get home from work.
I'll also hopefully be playing Smalland co-op, too.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Is Simply Stunning in New-Gen Features Trailer
I'm looking forward to this. I've enjoyed all of Ubisoft's recent games. I wonder if the game will end up looking better than Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
Re: Xbox Game Hellblade 2 Might Be Out for PS5 'Very Soon'
Would be great if it was a shadow drop, but it's more likely that we'll get a release date. I'm thinking back end of March.
Re: Anticipated PS5, PC Indie Lost Soul Aside Practically Confirmed for State of Play
Hopefully this will be turn out to be a hit like Stellar Blade was.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 567
I'm still playing Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. Currently trying to recruit every character.
Going to start Smalland: Survive the Wilds as well.
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Speeds Past 2 Million Copies Sold
I watched Sonic the Hedgehog 3 yesterday and it put me in the mood to play a Sonic game, so I might grab this once it's on sale.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 566
@amatmulisha I found it on eBay. You can get one for a decent price.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 566
Decided to go a bit retro this weekend. I'm impressed with how well Gran Turismo holds up.
Re: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Has Its Own Shanty Anthem
You don't know when you'll get to it?? Everyone knows that when a new Like a Dragon game is released EVERYTHING else gets put on the sidelines!
Re: Rumour: MultiVersus Season 5 Could Be the End for Free-to-Play Fighter
They should just ditch all the free-to-play stuff and sell it for decent price. I'd buy the full game for £15.
Re: Split Fiction Looks Absolutely Phenomenal in New Co-Op PS5 Gameplay Trailer
Looking forward to this. It Takes Two was great, but my favourite was A Way Out. Loved it. One of those games I never get tired of playing through.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 565
My main game atm is Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, but I'm currently taking a short break from it to play the Trails through Daybreak II Story Demo.

Love Falcom's demos! It'll probably be about 8 hours long. Can't wait.

Re: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Is All But Official Now, More Than a Graphics Upgrade
I'm still waiting on the Sands of Time remake, so I won't hold my breath.

Re: Nautical Yakuza Goes Viral As Fans Fall in Love with New Piratical Like a Dragon on PS5, PS4
I think it looks amazing. I wasn't expecting it to have so much content.
Re: The House of the Dead 2 Remake Lives! Launches This Spring 2025
Is the PS5 keyboard compatible? I'd definitely grab this if it included The Typing of the Dead.
Re: Poll: Do You Use PS Stars?
I use it to get free money in my wallet. My friend signed up for it, but I guess she didn't realise what it was because I checked it for her yesterday and she had enough points to get Phasmaphobia, which was handy because I was literally telling her how good it is about an hour earlier.
Re: PS5's Awesome Welcome Hub Was Designed by a Small, Passionate Team
I miss the 'What's New' and 'Live from PlayStation' sections from the PS4.
Re: Naughty Dog Sold to Sony to Avoid Being 'Crushed' By Cost of Game Dev
Makes you wonder where they would be today if Sony never acquired them.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 562
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1-2 Remastered for me. Even now the way you can shift realms or just step through a teleporter instantly really impresses me.
I'll also be playing co-op Grounded.
