Randomly I just started playing the second one at the weekend. I think it’s pretty good, melee is very chunky and satisfying. Be interested to see where they go with improving it.
Have downloaded this to try again. I could never get into it before. I think that was partially I felt it was a step back gameplay wise after BG3 but also I know DnD rules inside out, I find learning complex systems harder the older I get! Hoping with a bit of PS5 polish and some time I can find a new obsession.
I do have the plat for this. Spent a fair few hours on it before realising its would be possible, so in much the same way I didn’t set out to earn it. But it’s a great game and what I think makes a great plat - one you can simply earn just by playing, not by going out of your way to do strange things.
Absolutely loved the first one but the second one kept overheating my PS5 regularly (only game to do so) so I could never get into it. Hoping this one is playable for me as they are great games.
@Templedoom Excellent point. I think most people show by their comments they couldn’t care less about developers though. Devil’s Advocate to that argument of course is that businesses don’t care about consumers either, so it goes both ways.
On the other hand, the bonus is you can sell the game on after playing it. You’ll recoup some of the cost, and person buying it from you gets a cheaper game and the devs get nothing. Can’t sell on a digital purchase. So there is a slight upside to the consumer regardless of what’s on the disk.
Reminds me of the very much underrated Wolverine Origins game, which is exactly what I wanted it to be. Excellent.
Wouldn’t class any of this as gameplay though, so would be excited to see some actual footage. This just looks like all the Finisher moves sliced together.
No interest in Saros or Tokon, so I hope there’s something else new besides Wolverine. Will be interested to see some new potential big releases for 26/27.
Games are just released unfinished these days. Never worth a day 1 purchase when you can get the fixed thing at half the price 6 months later. If that means the developers miss out on revenue then they should just release a game that works.

Re: Management Game Masters Kairosoft Turn to Long Running Manga KochiKame for Next PS5, PS4 Game
Played quite a few Kairosoft games on my phone. Don’t realise they had PS versions. Game Dev Story was great fun.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 612
Having a lovely time with Cat Quest 3. Purrfect.
Re: The First PowerWash Simulator 2 DLC Pack Has You Cleaning Up Adventure Time on PS5
Excellent. Not sure how anything will top the 40k and Back to the Future DLC from the first one but I’m excited to see them try!
Re: Dead Island 3 Officially Confirmed in the Least Interesting Way Possible
Randomly I just started playing the second one at the weekend. I think it’s pretty good, melee is very chunky and satisfying. Be interested to see where they go with improving it.
Re: Bungie's Marathon Locks In March 2026 Release Date on PS5, Priced at $40
Bungie gunplay is top-tier and that’s a really good price point. Interesting. I hope this is more PvE than PvP and that will sell it for me.

Re: Going Platinum #3: Tales from the Borderlands
Love Borderlands and love Telltale, so this was a great one for me. Bit of a bizarre crossover, but hey I thought it worked.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 611
I don’t really have anything to play after finishing PowerWash 2 and Tomb Raider. There’s no backlog. What a time. Maybe I’ll… watch tv?
Re: Mystery Game Awards Reveal Is a New Divinity RPG, as Riddle Is Finally Solved
Divinity 2 was quite far behind BG3 in terms of gameplay/graphics, so hoping it’s more than a straight port as it could do with a bit of modernising.
Re: PlayStation Wrap-Up 2025 Live Now, Get Your Gaming Stats for the Year
Down for me. Another year, another wrap up that doesn’t load because servers are overwhelmed. Bit of a Christmas Sony tradition.
Re: Cairn, the Dark Souls of Climbing Games, Finally Nails Down a Release Date on PS5
Demo was good, but needed tons of polish. Will see how it turns out.
Jusant was awesome! But I know this is more realistic.
Re: After a Rocky Launch, the Entire Team Behind PS5 Racer Wreckreation Might Be Laid Off
Is a shame. I never got round to playing this, I was sort of waiting for Wreckfest 2 tbh.
Re: Over 10.5 Million Concurrent Players Show Up for Avengers: Endgame-Esque Fortnite Event
Haters gonnna hate, but it was suitably epic and very enjoyable. The minority love to rag on Fortnite but damn does it keep things fresh.
Re: Geoff Keighley's Cryptic Post Has Fans Speculating Wildly About The Game Awards Announcement
These cryptic hints are always for reveals that are far less exciting than what everyone actually wants.
Bloodborne, God of War, HL3, New Vegas remake… but it’ll probably only be a teaser trailer for the new Fallout Series 2.
Re: Going Platinum #1: Rocket League

But it’s a great game and what I think makes a great plat - one you can simply earn just by playing, not by going out of your way to do strange things.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 609
Still on Power Washer 2. Nothing else getting a look in.
Re: Talking Point: Does PS5 Have a Sequel Problem?
Do you know what’s rubbish? A sequel that takes away everything that people loved about the original.
Re: Skate Improves Replays, Adds New Tricks, Party Voice Chat, More in Season 2 on PS5, PS4
Good update, but one of the worst most cringe trailers I’ve ever seen.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 608
Having a very relaxing time with Power Washer 2.
Re: Sony's PS Plus Premium Offer for PSVR2 Games Seems to Die Next Month
I still only have an original PSVR so to be honest I wish they put more of those games on there, nevermind PSVR2 ones.
Re: Talking Point: The Game Awards 2025 Nominations Announced: Who Are Your Winners?
Why is sports and racing the same category? Bit weird.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 606
I’m going out out tonight, but I hope to fit in a bit of Simpsons Fortnite and proceed on my replay of Ghost of Tsushima.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for November 2025 Announced
I’ll take the WRC game! Just finished WRC Generations so hopefully it’s similar to that.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 604
Ball x Pit.
I cannot be stopped.
Re: Mini Review: PowerWash Simulator 2 (PS5) - A Bigger, Better, Squeaky Clean Sequel
GOTY coming up!!
Re: Jurassic World Evolution 3 (PS5) - Frontier Finds a Way to Improve Its Fantastic Park Building Franchise
Absolutely loved the first one but the second one kept overheating my PS5 regularly (only game to do so) so I could never get into it. Hoping this one is playable for me as they are great games.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for October 2025?
If you’re not a horror fan then its pretty awful. October is more than just Halloween.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 603
Ball x Pit. I’ve been sucked in!
Re: Mini Review: Ball X Pit (PS5) - A Fiendishly Compelling Mix of Vampire Survivors and Breakout
Tried the demo. Smashed out the entire hour in one sitting. Immediately purchased.
Great game, and demo doing exactly what it’s meant to.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 602
Going to play the free trial of Black Ops 6 and complete the campaign, if I can work out how to download it!
Re: Dead Space's Isaac Clarke Is Now in Skate, And He Costs More Than His PS5 Remake
@Boxmonkey More like Macro-transactions.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 601
Deep Rock Galactic.
ROCK AND STONE!!
Re: Promising Mountaineering Adventure Cairn Delays the Climb to Early 2026 on PS5
I really liked the demo of this, but it did need some polish, so I can understand the delay.
Was like a mix of Jusant meets The Climb VR.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 600
Dipping into Carto. And then… nothing on the backlog.
A return to Deep Rock Galactic? ROCK AND STONE!
Re: Seriously, What's the Catch with Ananta? Free PS5 Open Worlder Looks Mental in Uncut Gameplay
They should spend some of their budget on decent voice actors.
Can’t believe this is free though, like you said - where’s the catch??
Re: Good God, Crimson Desert's PS5 Collector's Edition Costs a Whopping $280
Imagine buying this and then finding out you don’t really like the game.
Re: First Wolverine PS5 Gameplay Is Incredibly Gory, Set for Fall 2026
Reminds me of the very much underrated Wolverine Origins game, which is exactly what I wanted it to be. Excellent.
Wouldn’t class any of this as gameplay though, so would be excited to see some actual footage. This just looks like all the Finisher moves sliced together.
Re: State of Play September 2025 Predictions: Marvel's Wolverine, Resident Evil Requiem, God of War, and More
I’d be there day 1 for a decent Motorstorm remake/reboot/remaster/new game.
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 24th September, 35 Minutes of PS5 News and Reveals
No interest in Saros or Tokon, so I hope there’s something else new besides Wolverine. Will be interested to see some new potential big releases for 26/27.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 599
Having some fun on Skate, but it’s just a bit fiddly - like everything is an effort - I can’t quite gel with it.
Otherwise I’m doing some DLC on Spider-Man, which is great fun, but just more of the same.
Might give Hollow Knight another go?
Re: There's a New Dragon Quest Game Coming Out in 2026, But...
Just want Builders 3 at this point.
Re: 'Sony Seeks an Impermissible Monopoly on Genre Conventions': Tencent Fires Back Over Horizon Rip-Off
Trying to ‘prove’ this legally is just ridiculous. It only needs someone with eyes and a brain to look at the comparisons and see it’s a blatant copy.
Re: 'Quit Game and Restart': PS5 Pro Has the Worst Version of Borderlands 4
Games are just released unfinished these days. Never worth a day 1 purchase when you can get the fixed thing at half the price 6 months later. If that means the developers miss out on revenue then they should just release a game that works.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Borderlands 4?
Really looking forward to it, but I’ll play it in 6 months when it’s actually patched to run properly.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS1 at Launch?
Wipeout, Ridge Racer, Ace Combat… the Jumping Flash on the demo disc. What a time to be alive. Changed my life.
Re: Keep Your Kid's PS5 Gaming In Check with the New PlayStation Family App
Why can’t they just build this functionality into the already existing app?
Re: 8 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for September 2025 Announced
@EfYI Totally agree.
Premium is the same as always, a small selection of various different styles of game. It’s not meant to have every game appeal to every person.
People always moaning like they’re expecting a PS version of Gamepass with first party titles being made available on Day 1.
Re: Destiny 2 Does Its Best Star Wars Impression with Renegades Expansion
Tried to go back to Destiny recently after a few years away.
That was a confusing mistake.
