RE 2002, the Metro games, and Kingdom Come are the biggest losses here. I'm not crazy about Kingdom Come but its a good game to play on a service like this.
@OrtadragoonX I can't disagree with the UBISOFT elements LOL. I also find linear games more refreshing these days, but it would've taken away from the side quest structure, which was the game's biggest strength for me personally.
@grapetrap i feel this was probably too "left field" for critics. People expected this to be an Evil Within FPS, but instead got a Supernatural Yakuza-like FPS. SONY fans hit it with the "Microsoft/Zenimax" tax. Sometimes its good to disconnect from "gaming politics" and just have fun and play some damn games.
My lady bought this for me bc she knows im nice with my hands. Also, i really don't mind the campaign being short bc it is a GOOD workout. This is a lot of fun and more "ARCADEY" than I expected.
EDIT: No one on the internet is covering PSVR2 like PUSHSQUARE. Thanks again 👍
Its a retro system for sure. Its slow, clunky, and has miserable performance that was barely acceptable even back then. As far as games go, there's a reason games like Demon Souls, Last of Us, and Dead Space are seeing remakes. The real question should be whether gaming reached a creative ceiling that generation.
This game is charming and experimental (especially for its time), but its very primitive on the gameplay side of things. I finished it on Switch its a fun novelty kind of game but its a 6/10 for me personally.
Awesome news. This game is growing on me. I didn't really understand the game loop until I really sat down with it and started exploring. Its clearly "Breath of the Odyssey" but its unique enough.
Theres alot of gamers that can put up with poor performances bc they dont care about the tech specs, and they don't know what they're missing out on. Look at the debates online about not needing a PS5 (bc of its lack of true exclusives) or a "Switch Successor". Not to be condescending, but informed consumers are few and far between.
@Arnna Sekiro is my fav. The movement/traversal, fluid combat/parry system really made it the greatest for me. Also keep in mind hack & slash games is my fav gaming genre. Kind of brought it "closer to home" so to speak.
Im not a DS2 hater tho. Really enjoyed my time with it on PS3. My biggest knock were the enemies were kind of redundant from an artstyle standpoint.
This game was alot of fun. Its not for everyone, but it was definitely a top 10 game for me last year. I don't necessarily disagree with the mixed reviews, but the fun factor made up for its flaws for me personally.

I enjoyed this game more than most. Its the most alive a dead city ever felt. I will definitely be revisiting this soon.
Re: Preview: Trine 5 Takes You on the Series' Longest Adventure Yet on PS5, PS4
@GoodGame I skipped 3 & 4. Safe to assume 4 was a return to form?

Doing my knife/handgun playthrough atm. I'm still having a blast with this.
Re: Best PS4 Games
Too many retro games and ports on here. I feel these takeaway from better games of PS4 generation.
Re: Pavlov VR, Switchback, and Kayak VR Among PSVR2's Most Popular Games

Re: With All Eyes on Activision Blizzard, EA Is Actually Driving Most Console User Engagement
No wonder Sony is trying to get into more live service games. Makes sense from this perspective.

Re: Capcom Fans Split Over What Classic Game Should Be Remade Next
After giving it some thought, I feel Resident Evil ReRemake under the RE Engine is the best possible choice.
Re: Tchia PS5 Patch Adds 60fps Support
@Beerheadgamer82 I think an accurate map marker like GTA would take away from the exploration of the game.

Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake on PS4 Is Why Cross-Gen Needs to End
@Flaming_Kaiser i couldn't agree more. Imagine Returnal on PS4 🤣 The load times and haptic triggers are essential factors to that game.

@Arnna I can definitely understand that. Not sure what's more daunting: Relearning Sekiro, or starting a New Game 🤣

Re: Talking Point: Is 2024 Too Soon for PS5 Pro?
