The boss battles are fun and moderately challenging, but outside of them the game is really too easy. Enemies surround you, but are too shy to actually attack.
I still hate the fact that this is another roguelike, but I'll play it solely for the story, like previous Cry entries. Gameplay in those was nothing to write home about either, to be fair. They would be better as pure VNs, but publishers are very scared to make those.
Oh, gyudon. I tried making it several times, but I just couldn't cut beef paper thin. It still turned out tasty, but not as good as in high-class restaurants.
I really hope it's not true, I really enjoyed Bridge of Spirits. Sony must be really salty about Stellar Blade success and the fact that ShiftUp no longer needs them.
I'm still salty that unlike Octopath Traveller 0, here Square adapted only first act of Brave Exvious. Act 2 is where the story finally found it's footing.
Already played early access on Steam Deck, but it was quite rough. I'm glad they're taking their time, too many games today going gold without being actually finished.
I was ready to make "too spoopy" joke, but this actually is a good lineup. I already have Old Country on steam, but playing it on portal would be nice. I got Tales Of Arise back in PS4 era, but Beyond the Dawn expansion is a massive boon for me, it was always a bit too expensive to buy, so yeah, I'll be playing it.
Fortune's Weave for sure. But since it's not available on PS, then Onimusha. And I'm sure I would love Sky SC, but I'm not starting remakes until the whole story is finished.
Electrosphere sequel. With actual playable characters, anime cutscenes and branching paths. Come on, Namco, it's real, it will be liked, you can do it.
@EfYI I'm totally childless, but I play PS5 games on portal, PC games on Steam Deck and Switch games in handheld mode. You don't need to be a dad to like playing games in bed instead of sitting in front of TV.

Re: Hear About Assassin's Creed's Future This Week in Franchise Update
I remember how much I enjoyed AC2 and how eagerly I awaited Brotherhood. Now I wouldn't blink twice if the series dies tomorrow. Me sad.

Re: Save Mass Effect Petition Rockets Past 200,000 Signatures as Fans Ask EA to Continue the Series
I can't understand people being mad at EA. Bioware that could make good games has been dead for more than a decade, EA simply cremated a pile of rot.
Re: Phantom Blade Zero (PS5) - One of the Generation's Greatest Action Experiences
@Nepp67 this. To add, every game that doesn't play itself is considered difficult today.
Re: Shenmue 3 Revival Postponed, as PS5 Re-Release Is Delayed to Early 2027
I just hope there will be upgrade options. I'm not keen on buying the same game twice for qol updates.

Re: PS5's War Against Jailbreaks Triggers Fresh Wave of Criticism
I have a nagging feeling that the overwhelming majority of people on this site are Sony shareholders pretending to be gamers.
Re: Sony's New Walkman Is a Real Status Symbol, with a $6,000 Price Point to Match
What does this have to do with video games?

Re: Poll: Are You Taking Time Off for GTA 6?
I was never interested in American criminal simulator to begin with.
Re: Alice in Wonderland Roguelite Is Free to Try on PS5 Now
I still hate the fact that this is another roguelike, but I'll play it solely for the story, like previous Cry entries. Gameplay in those was nothing to write home about either, to be fair. They would be better as pure VNs, but publishers are very scared to make those.
Re: Phantom Blade Zero Physical Version Set for 2027, 3 PS5 Editions Revealed
Definitely waiting then. More time to chip at my backlog.
Re: EA Shutting Down RPG Dev BioWare, Next Mass Effect Game Cancelled
Don't really understand the mourning, the Bioware that made good games has been dead for many years.
Re: Do Not Miss This PlayStation All-Timer While It Costs Less Than a Frothy Coffee
Eh, I still have my PS2 and it still works.
Re: You Won't Have to Wait Long for The Apothecary Diaries' PS5 Game
Atelier Karia in February, Atelier Maomao in March. Gust is unstoppable.
Re: 3 Hours with Stranger Than Heaven Left Me Partly Convinced, Partly Concerned, and Craving Gyudon
Oh, gyudon. I tried making it several times, but I just couldn't cut beef paper thin. It still turned out tasty, but not as good as in high-class restaurants.
Re: A New PlayStation Promo Suggests Sony's Bought the Kena IP from Ember Lab
I really hope it's not true, I really enjoyed Bridge of Spirits. Sony must be really salty about Stellar Blade success and the fact that ShiftUp no longer needs them.
Re: Final Fantasy Resonance (PS5) - Square's Series Returns to Its Roots to Fantastic Effect
I'm still salty that unlike Octopath Traveller 0, here Square adapted only first act of Brave Exvious. Act 2 is where the story finally found it's footing.
Re: 'Gooner Game' Zenless Zone Zero Gets an Age Rating Increase on PS5
Russia maybe a hellhole, but here people who like pretty girls instead of ugly girls are called normal people, not gooners.
Re: Poll: Would You Pay $1,000 for a PS6?
With the crap Sony is pulling right now, I wouldn't give them even 100$.
Re: Samson Dev Goes Bankrupt Just a Month After Gritty Open World Game's Arrival on PS5
Seems like a game made without AI could still be bad, who knew.
Re: Rumour: AAA Assassin's Creed Game Set in China Was Cancelled Just Last Year
Destiny seems to be a cursed name for video games.
Re: PS5 JRPG Atelier Karia Adding GTA San Andreas-Style Weight Mechanic After Overwhelming Fan Vote
>with native English speakers demanding the feature most
No doubt they wanted representation ^_^
I kid, I'm happy for those who wanted it, but I'll be keeping it turned off.
Re: '1.0 Roughly Doubles the Size of the Game': No Rest for the Wicked Confirms March 2027 Release on PS5
Already played early access on Steam Deck, but it was quite rough. I'm glad they're taking their time, too many games today going gold without being actually finished.
Re: Pokémon Dev Already Finished with Beast of Reincarnation PS5 Patches
One of my favourite games this year, watch me care about scores.
Re: Game of the Month: Onimusha: Way of the Sword (September 2026)
@AdamNovice but since Wolverine didn't win, the salt is provided by you.
Re: First Final Fantasy Resonance PS5 Review Released, Rough Campaign Length Revealed
@Joel_Lives it's great to be able to afford it. Sadly not everyone does.
Re: First Final Fantasy Resonance PS5 Review Released, Rough Campaign Length Revealed
Of course people love to play less and pay more.
Re: 9 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for October 2026 Announced

We need more people posting Metacritic score, god forbid someone wouldn't know.
Re: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse (PS5) - The Classic Series Returns in a Perfectly Fine Metroidvania
Wake me up when Konami makes in-house Castlevania again.

Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (September 2026)
Fortune's Weave for sure. But since it's not available on PS, then Onimusha. And I'm sure I would love Sky SC, but I'm not starting remakes until the whole story is finished.
Re: BlazBlue: Central Fiction Announced for PS5, a Decade After Original Release
Please buy it. I need more people to play with.
Re: Crazy Taxi: World Tour Takes You to Brazil as Another Location Is Revealed
Ok, now they must put Angra on soundtrack in addition to Galneryus for Japanese map.
Re: Phantom Blade Zero Is the Next Truly Essential PS5 Game
@LiamCroft is there a hard difficulty? Or only easy and normal?
Re: Another PS Portal Firmware Update Is Now Available, Just Two Weeks After the Last
I don't know how to be a fan of accessory (except in literal sense). It's just the only way I play my PS5.
Re: Ace Combat 8 Has Sold One Million Copies Faster Than Any Previous Entry in the Series
Electrosphere sequel. With actual playable characters, anime cutscenes and branching paths. Come on, Namco, it's real, it will be liked, you can do it.
Re: Phantom Blade Zero Is the Next Truly Essential PS5 Game
@trestan yes
Re: PS5 Fans Think They May Have Found Evidence of an Enhanced PS Portal
@EfYI I'm totally childless, but I play PS5 games on portal, PC games on Steam Deck and Switch games in handheld mode. You don't need to be a dad to like playing games in bed instead of sitting in front of TV.
Re: PS5 Fans Think They May Have Found Evidence of an Enhanced PS Portal
Portal is the only way I play on my PS5, but I definitely won't buy a new one, which would probably cost three times that I paid for mine.
Re: BeamNG.drive Is Looking Wildly Impressive in First PS5 Pro Footage
@Northern_munkey defensive much? There's nothing in the video about game structure except "free roam, do missions, I didn't play career mode".
Re: BeamNG.drive Is Looking Wildly Impressive in First PS5 Pro Footage
Is there an actual racing campaign there, or is the whole game is just a technology showcase?
Re: Rumour: Sony 'Accepting Game Pitches' on Fan Fave Franchises, First Wave Due Around PS6 Launch
At this point I don't trust Sony's western studios to make pong.
Re: The Father of PlayStation Thinks Games Have Stagnated, Calls for Curiosity in Developers
I wonder how many people who supposedly agree bought In Falsus instead of Wolverine and will buy Showa American Story instead of GoW.
Re: There's No Doubt About It, Anime RPG LitGirls Was Made for Me
PC it it, got it, thanks for heads-up.
Re: Capcom Has a Plan for When There's No Old Resident Evils Left to Remake
5 is available and still plays great, there's absolutely no need to remake it.
Re: 'We Want to Find a Way': SEGA Eager to Bring Sakura Wars Games to Modern Consoles
The very first Sakura Wars even had russian translation without english version existing. God, it was so bad. (Translation, not the game)

What was that about pepperoni pizza without pepperoni?
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for October 2026 Announced
