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.
Number of polygons means nothing if they are wasted on grey corridors. A Hat in Time had a budget of Kratos nipple, and still looks (and plays) better than every GoW.
There's simply no point in PS6 for foreseeable future. Technology simply didn't advance far enough, it would offer nothing but slightly more polygons and slightly faster processing power.
I'm not a developer, shareholder or CEO. I'm not even a fanboy. I simply play games. And for me being able to play Doom Dark Ages, Clair Obscur, Wuchang and Ninja Gaiden 4 day one for a price of game pass sub is very beneficial. Throw feces at me if it will help you to sleep at night.
Shinobi is very good, but I think I would love it more if it was before Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, not after. In comparison it feels too slow and easy. My vote goes to Mafia. It won't win any awards for gameplay, but it's great tourist simulator.
@HallowMoonshadow there are thousands of games for "average player" (aka games you can beat by throwing controller down the stairs). Let's have a skill check for once.

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
@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: 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.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Adds 'Cheats' on Switch 2, Xbox, But No Mention of PS5
Removed
Re: Final Fantasy 9 Remake Still MIA, But the Anniversary Celebrations Continue
Please, after latest FF games, do you really trust current SE to remake FFIX?
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for September 2025?
The only worthwhile game here is P5 Tactica, but it was on gamepass ages ago.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 598
(inhales) Super Robot Taisen Original Generation Saga: Endless Frontier Exceed.
Beat the first one ages ago, now finally got around to play the sequel. It only got fan translation, but it's really good.
Re: 'We Were Debating Whether to Go Straight into The Last of Us 3': Expect More Infected in the Future
@Awakened_Link absolutely not from the current ND.
Re: What PS5 Games Have the Best Graphics?
Number of polygons means nothing if they are wasted on grey corridors. A Hat in Time had a budget of Kratos nipple, and still looks (and plays) better than every GoW.
Re: The Best and Scariest Fatal Frame Is Getting a PS5 Remake Early Next Year
As I say about each and every remake: I'd rather have a new game.
Re: Last Chance to Play These 8 PS5, PS4 Games on PS Plus
I love metroidvanias, but honestly found FIST mid AF. Dragon's Crown and Odin Sphere are brilliant though, buy them if you can.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Hollow Knight: Silksong?
It's not a perfect game, there's no perfect game. But Silksong is as close as it can be.
Re: Site News: Where's Our Borderlands 4 PS5 Review?
I'll get it on PC myself. When an edition with all DLC will be on steam for 10$ that is.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS1 at Launch?
Yeah, remember generation leaps? What we have now couldn't even be called steps, yet Sony is already talking about PS6.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS1 at Launch?
Got mine for my ninth birthday on August 1st 1997. Good times.
Re: 'It Saved the Game': Sword of the Sea Dev Praises Sony, Explains PS Plus Deal
It's OK when Sony does itâ„¢
Re: Sucker Punch Thinks Only 10% of Studio Would Be Hyped to Make Sly Cooper
@LogicStrikesAgain it was, but for all we know Insomniac is a Marvel slave from now on.
Re: Sucker Punch Thinks Only 10% of Studio Would Be Hyped to Make Sly Cooper
Sony western studios are stuck making nothing but "deep cinematic experience". Crash, Spyro, Jak, Ratchet, Sly - all dead.
Re: Rumour: PS6 Will Have a Detachable Disc Drive, Much Simpler Design
There's simply no point in PS6 for foreseeable future. Technology simply didn't advance far enough, it would offer nothing but slightly more polygons and slightly faster processing power.
Re: 'The Tension Is Hurting a Lot of People': Ex-Bethesda Boss Speaks Out on Subs Like Xbox Game Pass
I'm not a developer, shareholder or CEO. I'm not even a fanboy. I simply play games. And for me being able to play Doom Dark Ages, Clair Obscur, Wuchang and Ninja Gaiden 4 day one for a price of game pass sub is very beneficial. Throw feces at me if it will help you to sleep at night.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 597
Platinumed Ninja Gaiden Ragebound and 100%'d Shinobi Art of Vengeance before diving into Silksong. 2D is life.
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (August 2025)
Shinobi is very good, but I think I would love it more if it was before Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, not after. In comparison it feels too slow and easy. My vote goes to Mafia. It won't win any awards for gameplay, but it's great tourist simulator.

Re: Review in Progress: Hollow Knight: Silksong (PS5) - A Silky Smooth Sequel Proving Well Worth the Wait
Just equip reaper moveset and pogo becomes a breeze.
Re: Match-Three RPG Puzzle Quest Returns in Immortal Edition on PS5, PS4 This Month
Love me some Puzzle Quest, but it's definitely a portable game.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Hollow Knight: Silksong?
Remember, kids: if you don't like something, then it's overrated.

@N0CYmr0k please don't insult me like that 😉
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 3rd September, Deep Dive on 007 First Light
September 3rd is the day I go to the dentist and probably will leave my life savings there. Enjoy SoP everyone, I probably will be crying.
