Its worth remembering that FromSoftware was considered a very mediocre studio before Demon's Souls and Shu himself played it in a much worse state before Miyazaki joined the project and help the team find the one and only thing they're good at. Sony dropped the ball here to be sure, but let's not act like FromSoft was being extremely petty as well.

This looks like Playstation's answer to Astral Chain. Except way better and not copaganda.

This looks pretty interesting, but it's definitely not for me.

Hell yeah. I'm there for anything Housemarque does.

Day one baby. Elden Ring can go drink water for all I care.

Yo this looks sick as hell.

Im going to avoid this website until the State of Play is over. I hope you understand.

Seems a bit unnecessary considering you can play this game on YouTube.

@NotTelevision I read that as HELL I SUS and realized I have brainrot.

Not really. The world's not going to end because I capped my resin in Genshin.

Im fine with taking a breather before Kratos heads to Egypt. But I'd rather see him tackle Christian mythology and watch him punch God in the face.

12/15. Probably a personal best. I know Ratchet and Clank pretty considering I did get into the series until late in the PS3 era.

It was hard not to roll my eyes a little at the game's description, but this does look pretty fun.

Bring Sengoku Basara to the west you f*cking cowards!

No. I'm sure it's a great game, but a realistic medieval times simulator where people just walk around and swing swords at each other just isn't my idea of a good time.

One less step away from getting bought by Microsoft.

Honestly, the best girl for Cloud is whoever thinks it should be.

(As long as they don't think it's Yuffie. That's sick)

Im at an anime convention this weekend so no gaming for me.

J. Michael Tatum is here and he signed my copy of FF7 Rebirth. That's pretty great.

Right now, I'm somewhere between a strong 7 and a light 8. I love the way the game is structured and the tweaks to combat are really fun, but the battles themselves range from too straightforward to too involved and rarely find a sweet spot. For a game that can render this many enemies on screen it's rare to get a KO cout in quadruple digits due to how quickly your moved from one officer to another. It's the same problem I had with Afe of Calamity; it wants so bad to get to the more involved fights, it rarely gives you a moment to mow down fodder which was always the main appeal of the series to me.

Im still pretty early in the game so we'll see how my opinion changes, but for right now, I think it's pretty good to great, but I'm not sure if it's amazing yet.

As long as the charge blade still charges and blades, I Think I'll be okay.

Between this and Lost Soul Aside, PS5 owners are eating good off the Chinese action game menu.

That Phantom Blade Zero trailer is f*ckin lit.

@AdamNovice Still won't make me want to buy one.

We got chocolate cake before Silksong. It's been longer than I thought.

Im glad to see people ready to give Atlas Fallen a fair shake. I'm a bit bias because it feels like a game made for me specifically, but I absolutely love it.

@Pat_trick Agreed. The Switch 2 is already the most boring console Nintendo's ever made, and the Switch 1's install base is too big to overlook. I don't think we're going to see a mass shift like we did in 2017.

I, honest to God, have never heard of this game in my life.

Solid lineup. Having Atlas Fallen and ANNO: Mutationem on the Portal us a big plus for me, and now us as good as time as any to finally play a Yakuza game.

Every game now just exists to cross over with another game.

If he self published his games, he could run on his own schedule. But then he'd have to spend his own money, and he doesn't have the guts to do that.

Proof that no matter how much pockets of the internet complains, people will never get tired of open world games.

If we get Silksong before GTA6 the entire meme community will collapse into a black hole.

I've been waiting for the moment this game could become interesting to me and it still hasn't come yet. Hopefully the demo can sway me.

@Gaming-Knight I played the first demo. The gameplay is much more fluid than Code Vein which makes feel more satisfying. And I think the cel-shading looks better too.

Looks more fun than any GTA game

Every time PushSquare reviews a gacha game, it just reminds me that they never properly reviewed Genshin Impact.

I'm just surprised it took so long.

I first read that headline as Fister Fantastic and thought this was a very different kind of game.

Honestly, this might make me consider getting an Xbox if they weren't bringing all their games to Playstation.

I really hope we hear more about Sword of the Sea this year.

With numbers like that, it's only a matter of time until it's owned by Microsoft.

I think this is the first time the top 3 matches my top 3.

Slightly different order, but still.

Well deserved. It would be my pick too in any non FF7 Rebirth year.

Honestly, not bad. I'll give Suicide Squad a shot for free, and I'm really looking forward to The Stanley Parable.

My vote goes to Atlas Fallen's Reign of Sand update. Because the amount of gameplay variety and replayability it adds will keep it in my rotation for longer than any of the other options.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth may not be the best game I played in 2024, but it's far and away my game of the year. It took everything that made the original so important to me, a made it bigger, more fleshed out, and somehow still made it all feel right. I may not go back to this as much as other games this year, but the joy, elation and even sadness Rebirth brought me is unlike anything else I experienced this year. And I love it so much for that.

This game definitely lives up to it's claim; playing this while wrapped in a blanket and binging anime has been one of the coziest experiences I've had this year.

And Happy Hanukkah to all my jewish peeps.

My vote goes to Zenless Zone Zero. It post apocalyptic techno-punk aesthetic was a breath of fresh air this year.

To me, Dragon's Dogma 2 holds the prestigious honor of being not just the biggest disappointment of the year, but of the decade so far. Waiting 12 years for a sequel just to have feel like a step backwards in most ways was bad enough, but most of it's steps forward just made it even less fun. It's going to be a while before I'm over it.

Stellar Blade on the other hand really surpassed my expectations. Even with how likely I was to love it, I didn't expect to play it start to finish five times this year. So it definitely takes the top spot for me.
