I’m such a completionist that every game is a forever game. A real forever game would take me several lifetimes.

@Nem You can filter those.

It’s not surprising for me at all. I game almost daily and still I can finish perhaps 4 or at the very max 5 games a year. So I guess I buy one every 3 months on average.

For people that don’t game daily and/or have a social life (the thought…) I think 2 games a year sounds plausable.

Nice! I bought the AW trilogy cheaply a while back and have yet to play it on my Pro.

I’m at the very end game of Bloodborne. I’ll wait before entering the final bosses before I’ve played the DLC though, I heard there’s a point of no return.

Having a blast with this game! I always read this is one of the hardest games, but I guess Elden Ring and Returnal have upped my skills since I don’t have a lot of trouble with it.

No, I’m not convinced yet based on the reviews. I haven’t read that it’s less of a drag than the first game.

As mentioned over and over again in the comments - this format for articles just isn’t working. It’s too much clicking without knowing what to expect.

I guess I’ll save up for the 50th anniversary book. Their greed is shameless.

After all those years I finally started playing Bloodborne and I instantly connected with it. I’ve already beaten 7 bosses in my first week and I’m loving every second of it. I especially like the aggressive style this game demands.

F: Never played one, but I think I’ll like them.

I hope they improved upon the first game in staying interesting. At first I loved the game, but after a while it got repetitive and boring. It was more about checking off boxes than actually having the feeling of achieving something. Plus, the map was just way too big.

I don’t think people will get a lot of sunlight next year with both GTA and FH launching. I personally never got the hype for both franchises, but I guess this will be good for the industry.

“Unlike Returnal, Saros is a roguelite, meaning there are impactful permanent upgrades you'll acquire between runs. This means you won't be starting from ground zero every time you try again; you'll always be making some tangible progress.”

How is this unlike Returnal, where you actually make progress every run?

@Arkz Wouldn’t call all of those facts. For me the grinding part isn’t that dramatic. I play it 30 minutes a day (Le Mans circuit) which for me is a fun way to start up my gaming night and I get 800,000 credits for it. That’s not bad at all.

Can’t wait for this. Returnal is easily my most fulfilling platinum of all time.

@DonkeyFantasy Ah, that would be a bummer. I’m doing my rounds every day but that Ferrari invite is just impossible to get. I’m constantly getting 10,000 credits or parts.

Great news! I wonder what they mean with this exactly: “Unlimited car invitations in Brand Central”

I’ve been waiting for my Ferrari invite for over two years now.

@1UP-HUSKY They’re completely unnecessary anyway. The games already are movies themselves in a way.

@Nepp67 I disagree, it gives a first impression, combined with the pros and cons as I mentioned.

@Nepp67 If scores are meaningless they wouldn’t include them. Together with the pros and cons they (should) give a good indication about the game for readers that don’t want to read any possible spoilers.

Lately I notice I don’t take the reviews on Push Square serious anymore. It’s good to hear a different sound every now and then, but scores and opinions are just too far from the average. I honestly don’t believe this is a 7/10 game after everything I’ve read so far.

Platinumed Death Stranding 2 yesterday after 195 hours! In doubt what to play next. Possibly I finally start with Bloodborne, or otherwise the Alan Wake trilogy.

@CaptainWow Same. I tried previous versions two times but gave up because it didn’t click with me. Played Part 1 on my Pro this year though and absolutely loved it. It feels like a whole new game.

Trying to round off Death Stranding 2 today after 160 hours (since release day). I guess I’m in the last chapter, but getting platinum might be a lot of work.

If it takes another week I’m okay with that though, I just can’t leave this game alone. The last days I was just randomly repairing roads while enjoying the music.

@Scottyy I honestly don’t understand the difference. A 1–10 scale using whole numbers is equivalent to a 1–5 scale using half steps, only doubled.

Edit: I understand it if you use half steps on a 1-10 scale, like the 7.5/10. But that’s not the case here, it’s 8/10 so 4.0/5.

@Scottyy “ 8/10 or 3.5/5 so far”

Just out of curiosity, how does this work? Both are the same scale, so 8/10 = 4.0/5 and 3.5/5 = 7/10?

Perhaps I’m overthinking this, but even if I buy a game right on release day I could never rate it after only 6/7 days. Why not ask for the scores a month after release?

Impossible to say. I had one as a child and really liked it, but have no clue if I got it at launch and can’t really compare it to other consoles.

Three versions of the same review - preview, updated preview and the real review? Seems a bit overdone? Why not just only publish it when finished?

Fingers crossed for a cast reunion.

@katamariUK Ah, thanks. Strange indeed, many people (like me) only hear about this game now the reviews roll in.

@Mr_Singh Either that or region lock (Netherlands) I guess. Thanks!

@Mr_Singh There isn’t, neither in de app, the browser and on the console. It just shows the standard and deluxe editions of the game.

@Mr_Singh Where did you play the demo? I can’t find it in the PS Store.

@VeganH Feels like you’re describing Death Stranding 2 here. It looks amazing and plays absolutely perfect. After 100+ hours since release day I haven’t seen a single bug while you could frame a picture of pretty much every scene.

Still Death Stranding 2, every day since release. I think I’m around 75% now. Also doing my daily GT7 rounds to hopefully receive one of those Ferrari invites after years of waiting.

@PuppetMaster Thanks, might give that trilogy from last year a go then.

@Oram77 Is that the version that’s part of the trilogy that was released for PS5 last year?

I really can’t deal with old/janky controls (I already gave up on Mass Effect legendary edition) but if that’s actually okay with these games the trilogy might be the best entry point.

As a big DS fan that never played any of the MGS games I’m so glad I can finally experience Kojima’s past now. I think the old games will be too dated for me, this remake seems like the perfect entry point.

So this is an announcement announcement? Makes me think about Little Britain’s petshopshopshopshop.

I bought the Mass Effect trilogy a year ago and tried it twice, but just can’t get through the first game. It feels so dated and clunky. Which is a shame, based on the setup and theme it should be right up my alley.

So PS simply keeps on ignoring the feedback on the presentation of these articles?

@Phelaidar I thiught the first game was nailbitingly intense. I think most people with psychoses would do anything for a “boring” life.

I just keep on keeping on and on and on and on…

This reads like it could have been about the first game and I thought that game was absolutely brilliant. One of the most unique gaming experiences I had, it basically was dealing with depression packed in a game. I’ll definitely try this one as well.

@VenomUK I don’t know if I want it too realistic though. Traveling to another planet for 10 years might get a bit tedious 😅

Simply a fantastic game. If I had to wish for one thing to be changed though it would be making the side missions feel more unique. After you’ve put a lot of time in the game there are still hundreds of planets to explore - which is absolutely awesome - but the side missions dealing with this are never ending loops of the same basics. Put a bit more variety in that aspect and you have a perfect game for space nerds like me.

@feral1975 Same, marching towards 100 hours at the moment.

None so far. Ask me again in two years what was my favorite game of july 2025

@Faultandfracture Depends on what the other months offer. Otherwise buying (and reselling) the game is cheaper.
