Taking my time to obtain the platinum trophy in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 after dealing with the superboss.
This is my GOTY and I would even say the Game of this generation. If anyone is having any kind of doubts regarding playing this, just try it for 1 hour and notice how every frame of the game has some sort of unique and enormous scenery in the background for you to absorb in awe while the music perfectly blends with it. And that stays true until the game's very end which is absolutely mind boggling.
Preparing for the superboss in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
I can't stress this enough so I'll say it again: if anyone is on the fence with this game, I urge you to try it! Even if you're not a turn based rpg fan, you will find something you'll love: the story, the characters, the art style, the world exploration or the fantastic music. I usually don't persuade people to play games, but you will surely find something that will stick with you after you try this piece of art.
I received a lot of responses so thanks for that! This just shows if the developer/publisher listen to the community and provide better experiences while maintaining an agile developer team, things can work out really well for them as well as us.
I own a steelbook PS4 version of the game since I'm a physical collector, but if they ever release another deluxe/collector's edition I will be more than happy to support the studio.
Can someone explain to me how is it possible and profitable for them to make all these enormous updates to the core gameplay for free? I am genuinely and non-sarcastically astonished with what they've accomplished since the game launched whereas other publishers don't even offer a simple free PS5 upgrade.
Sarcasm Off
I took the plunge and preordered the steelbook version from Limited Run Games because it looked like a real gem even though I don't usually play these types of games but one must be open for new experiences and I'm glad I'll be in for a good time. Sarcasm On
I'm currently on vacation so I'm playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in my mind by thinking about good pictos combinations for conquering the endgame dungeons.
@Rich33 @SoftAssassin Yap, I tried to select another version in the app as well as going to the three dots option on the console but it doesn't work either way.
I even thought that maybe I'm viewing the ps plus essential version and since I don't have ps plus active anymore, maybe I downloaded the wrong version but it says "purchased" next to the game and I have the option to play it (but can't try right now, will try it later).
What I can definitely see when I search for "hellbade" is that there are 2 versions there: "Senua's sacrifice" and "Senua's sacrifice TM (trademark)". I have the TM version and it is PS4 only. The one without TM is the PS5 version.
But it seems I'm the only one with this issue so maybe I'm really doing something wrong.
"There are few games that have left me as overwhelming angry as Mafia The Old Country did when its credits rolled. Even for series fans, I can’t in good faith recommend picking this one up."
I was hesitant on picking the game up, but this review completely sold it to me.

Re: 'Finish Him': Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Launches 30th October on PS5, PS4
@Nakatomi_Uk Shaolin Monks is great for a couch coop session with a couple of beers on your side.
They better release Legacy collection vol. 2 or at least give us the PS2 games as DLC.

@Medic_alert It is a Schrödinger's comment: it's a joke and not a joke at the same time. To be honest, I actually adore PES 6.
Re: Despite Concerns, Physical Copies of Gears of War PS5 Appear to Have the Campaign on the Disc
It is good that Microsoft doesn't use up all the disc space to save electricity during production due to the rising concern regarding climate changes.
