@rusty82 I never liked Kirby much, but got forgotten land because I love 3d platformers and those are a dying breed. I was surprised how good it was, hope they won't return to 2d in future installments.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land+ Star-Crossed World (no, I didn't type it manually).
Some people enjoy gritty cinematic games about revenge and cycle of violence, some prefer colorful fun games that tell you to stuff your belly and nap for a while to be happy. Be happy and have a nice weekend.
Stellar Blade is not Sony's 1st party game, no matter how much Sony pats itself on the back for it. And yeah, the problem isn't really the unoriginal theme, but how studios pretend that theme is original, mature and groundbreaking.
@bleeflooflah the story. Tactics, like all Matsuno games, is very detailed in the beginning and rushed like there is new tomorrow in the second half and especially the ending. Triangle has very consistent and competent storytelling all the time, and doesn't bring everything to demon Lucavi in the end.
I played both original and War of the Lions, and both time's found them pretty bad. Zero desire to get the remaster. Triangle Strategy was so much better.
Unlike many (if your claim is true) I played all Yakuza games in chronological order starting from the first one, and Yakuza 3 still remains the biggest leap in the series: I can finally freely move camera! That said, I doubt I will get the remake. 3 is still perfectly playable, I'm not particularly fond of Mine, butchered content is already restored on PS4 and so far all three Kiwami games were worse than originals.
@illegalmonkey ending is not the only thing that changes on subsequent playthough. First run is actually only a part of the story, and second is more different than exactly the same game, but use the stone in five places.
@Xeno_Aura huh? I knew about Saber, but had no idea that Sony is involved, I thought KOTOR remake was announced when EA still had monopoly on SW games. Well, good to know, though I still doubt remake will ever see the light of day.
Honestly, if devs actually manage to deliver all of what they try to, this will be something absolutely incredible. I just hope that the story won't be updated once in two months and could be completed in a day.
I will play it... Someday. With Silent Hill, Hades 2, new Atelier and upcoming Ninja Gaiden 4 this likely won't happen until 2026. I'll probably snag physical edition when I'll see it cheap.
@Rich33 the term "soulslike" is really thrown around like there is no tomorrow. Lose resources on death - soulslike. Replenishable healing items on checkpoints - soulslike. No difficulty settings - soulslike. Can't faceroll - soulslike. I've even seen "block and dodge - soulslike". Namco shamelessly patted itself on the back for inventing difficulty when promoting Dark Souls and everyone gobbled it up.

Re: First PS Plus Extra Game for October 2025 Leaked
Too good to be true, SH2 doesn't belong in a pile of trash that ps plus is churning out these days.
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (September 2025)
Way too many great games last month, but Silksong is above the rest. For now it's my GOTY2025 and I doubt it will be challenged.

About trophies with cheats: when every award is participation award, do those awards hold any meaning?

Re: That New Digimon Game's Looking Like a Big Hit
@Yozora146_ I hate self-inserters even more. I represent myself enough in the real life, thank you very much.
Re: That New Digimon Game's Looking Like a Big Hit
@J2theEzzo I'll be a happy man when nameless mute protagonists in single player games will finally die out.

Re: Video: These 20 Games Have the Best Graphics on PS5
Pretty sure that the list of best art design games would have no overlaps.

Re: 'It's Not Just About Adding More': Persona 4 Revival Producer Wants to Get the Remake Right
@GloriosaDaisy ah, so you are that "modern audience" I keep hearing about.
Re: 'It's Not Just About Adding More': Persona 4 Revival Producer Wants to Get the Remake Right
Just don't change the story and everything will be fine.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Ghost of Yotei?
I'm not playing it right now, but I have a strong feeling that I played it before.

Re: Stellar Blade Ending Extended in New Epilogue Scenes
Dear Shift Up, you already done a fantastic job with Stellar Blade. Please, please focus your time and resources on the sequel now.

Re: Sony Is a 'Terrible Company' That's 'Blowing It in the Games Business', Says Michael Pachter
No "blowing" jokes so far? I'm disappointed in you, ps community.

Re: Mini Review: Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac (PS5) - Fine Remake Won't Set the World on Fire
Well, good thing to know, being incinerated by pills-consuming blob wasn't a part of my plans.

Re: Mega Publisher EA Agrees to $55 Billion Buyout by Saudi Arabia, Silver Lake, Affinity Partners
I doubt I would ever notice the difference, the only interest I have in EA games is KoTOR remake, but it's pretty much abandonware now.
Re: Too Scared to Play Silent Hill F? You Could Consider Reading It Instead
@Czar_Khastik it's less scary than Sesame Street, but the story is actually good.
Re: Almost 800 People Are Working on Ambitious Anime Open World Ananta
I'll take anime spider-man and GTA over regular regular spider-man and GTA every day.
Re: Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian (PS5) - A Vibrant RPG That Transforms Grind into Gold
Looks exactly what I want from Atelier game: a simple slice-of-life game with cute girls, without getting revenge or saving the world.
Re: Preview: We Played Anime Open World Ananta, and It Could Change Everything
Honestly, if devs actually manage to deliver all of what they try to, this will be something absolutely incredible. I just hope that the story won't be updated once in two months and could be completed in a day.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Silent Hill F?
I adore Silent Hill, but the last good game was 22 years ago. So I have huge hopes for F, which I will start in 20 minutes.
Re: Ghost of Yotei (PS5) - The Greatest Sucker Punch Game Ever
I will play it... Someday. With Silent Hill, Hades 2, new Atelier and upcoming Ninja Gaiden 4 this likely won't happen until 2026. I'll probably snag physical edition when I'll see it cheap.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for September 2025?
It's good. If you like marvel and roguelikes. I don't.
Re: First PS Plus Essential Game for October 2025 Leaked
I regret buying it. Loved the first one, but the sequel was such a disappointment.
Re: Onimusha: Way of the Sword Still Looks Sick, But We Ain't Sold on That English Dub
If English dub is the concern for you, than you chose wrong games.
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 24th September, 35 Minutes of PS5 News and Reveals
@Oram77 not really, this year already had absolutely amazing games for me and there's more to come.
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 24th September, 35 Minutes of PS5 News and Reveals
I will be too busy playing Silent Hill F. And I honestly can't remember the last time I enjoyed Sony first party game, but it sure wasn't on PS5.
Re: Hideo Kojima's Next Game OD Looks Like PT Fully Realised
The only reason I was interested in Silent Hills was Junji Ito involvement. Kojima himself can go back to scanning celebrities for all I care.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Gets Yet Another Trailer, This Time Showcasing PS5 Features
Marketing sure is strange for this game. Six months ago we haven't seen a second of gameplay footage and now it's a trailer every day.
Re: Superb RPG Remake Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Is One of the Highest Rated Games of 2025
@Jayslow nope, it definitely was in 1st Cold Steel too.
Re: Mafia: The Old Country Actor Claims Another Game in the Series Has Already Been Approved
@AinsleyE no way, man. Mafia is finally in Italy instead of fictional American city, let it stay for a while.
Re: Mafia: The Old Country Actor Claims Another Game in the Series Has Already Been Approved
Pump it straight into my veins, Old Country was delightful.
Re: Superb RPG Remake Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Is One of the Highest Rated Games of 2025
@Jayslow Erebonia had hilariously bad puns in silver chests
Re: Superb RPG Remake Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Is One of the Highest Rated Games of 2025
I wonder what happened to the abysmal guy, is he alright?
Re: Silent Hill F (PS5) - Brutal Survival Horror Walks a New Path
It could have got 1 on everyone's favourite metacritic, it's still my most anticipated game.
Re: PS5's Incredibly Promising Phantom Blade Zero Sounds Absolutely Brutal on Its Hardest Difficulty

Re: PS5's Incredibly Promising Phantom Blade Zero Sounds Absolutely Brutal on Its Hardest Difficulty
@Rich33 difficulty options should be easy - normal - hard. What we got in Lies of P update was normal - easy - Cuphead tutorial survivor.
Re: PS5's Incredibly Promising Phantom Blade Zero Sounds Absolutely Brutal on Its Hardest Difficulty
I just hope that hardest difficulty is unlocked from the start without requiring ng+.
Re: There's Even More Classic Tomb Raider Coming to PS5, PS4
What's your favourite TR trilogy? Mine is Legend - Anniversary - Underworld.
Re: Ghost of Yotei's Very Reasonable Dev Budget on Par with Predecessor
Imagine losing sleep over a number of A's.
Re: Latest Capcom Livestream Will Exclude PS5 Horror Resident Evil Requiem
What will Capcom do with Mega Man once the older games for collections run out?
Re: Yakuza Kiwami 3 Seemingly Leaked on Dev Website
3 is one of my favourite RGG games, but it doesn't need remake at all. Especially considering it's on PS5 already.
Re: The First Silent Hill F Review Score Is Now Live
Already pre-ordered, will be playing it minute one. F has all chances to become the best SH game.
Re: Latest Ghost of Yotei Trailer Is a Quick Hit Before PS5 Launch
I took a long hard look at Ghost of Yotei and bought an air fryer instead. I regret nothing.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Borderlands 4?
I'll play it someday. After complete edition with all the patches and DLC goes on steam sale for a 20$ or something.
