When you say UK, do you also mean Europe?

@eightdotthree "hes looking up that one particular game, make Pushsquare write an article about it."

Id say its Dave the Diver in the Jungle.

It was super good.
Added so much content and new ideas.

It almost could have been a fullblown sequel.

My GotY 2025
My GotGen of the PS5 era

Completely blew me away. I played it on the Pro and spent way over 100 hours in it.

The scale, the complexity, the rigid identiy earned all my respect.

Im super eager to see KGD 3 and Warhorses take on LotR game.

Ive beat The Adventures of Elliot the Millennium Tales and started Dave the Diver in the Jungle
Hope you guys bear the untakable heatwave

And stay hydrated!

Theyre treating GTA 6 better than their own first-party games. Crazy.
Makes me wonder how do the in-house devs feel about it.

I dont care about the reason tbh. Even though there are a bunch of factors to go thru. As long as Sony backtracks to the formular I prefer and I support it.
Playstation studios for Playstation consoles only. Even MP games.

I forgot what I voted but it makes me sad seeing Nioh 3 that low. Its easy one of the greatest Action RPG ever.

Ive been on The Adventures of Elliot. I like Sqaure Enix's new Action Adventure. Ive clocked more than 10 hours in and Im looking forward for every new session. And for my MP fix - Dead By Daylight.

Thats the right course. Playstation First-Party games in general should only be available on Playstation. PC gamers should demand games from their preferred PC storefront.
Having exclusives boost the demand of the console whether PS5 or the upcoming PS6.

Im expecting it March/April 2027.
Lets see.

They better stick to its current formular now. Its working. I dont want to have a compromised vision of Returnal or Saros. They should continue that very path and grow the community of AAA Bullethell Roguelike/lite games. Theyre fantastic.

Very impressive. Even though, Im pretty sure most SP AAA games sell like this. Unfortunately, publishers usually dont update sales numbers.

My top 5

1. Resident Evil Requiem
2. Nioh 3
3. Saros
4. 007 First Light
5. Darwins Paradox!

Good year so far.

Ill probably be getting The Adventures of Elliot. Ive got to check out the demo first. And what about Dave the Diver in the Jungle? Wasnt that to be released also on the 18th?

We need urgent transparency in the industry. These stated figures are based only on estimates and unreliable ones at that. I dont believe these numbers at all unless the numbers coming straight from the source itself.

Such a massive media yet so little understandability.

Somehow thought Astro be bigger in Japan. They love robots, they love platformers. There you go Japan matchmake in heaven

Thanks South Korea. You rock!

@UnfishedPlate29 There is no offical announcement of Forza Horizon 6 selling millions. Taking Alinea Analytics still as reference point of "reported", is ridiculous. Xbox renting games, they dont buy them. Every single split report of any other game is 100% proving it.

Xbox is a third party publisher. Just wait for the announcement of Gears E Day coming to PS5, 6 months after its failure of selling units.
Gears serves as scapegoat. Thats why MS puts in 2 weeks before their own CoD release and sheer days after the busiest September in gaming history.
They want it to fail to have a testimony to be a full third party publisher against their cultist behaving fanbase.

The aquisiton of ABK makes it impossible to exclude Playstation/Nintendo to stay sustainable.

The writing is on the wall. You choose not to read it.

Microsoft is and will remain a third party publisher. Their position doesnt allow anything else. Xbox console will never sell as Playstation console. They need an audience that proactive buys video games. The Xbox userbase doesnt buy videogames, they rent them.

Gears serve as a scapegoat to fully dedicate themselves to pursue that third party publisher pathway, as soon as it bombs

It better be. This year is too plenty to play. Beginning next year would be nice.

I feel mostly the East Asia publishers seem to take distance from Sonys console or any association that might indicate its only on Playstation.
Final Fantasy seemed to be coupled with Playstation for over 2 decades. Now it doesnt feel this way.
Capcom is samey. They seek the love from the PC community and less from the Playstation nation.
And Segas P6, as aforementioned by the article, will, very likely, be revealed by Xbox. Even though these games sell best at Playstation. And Persona, as a franchise, became mainstream with the success of Persona 5 thanks to the Playstation 4.

I think it might be the aftermath of Sonys PC strategy that backfires.
Sony got to make sure to build a hardcore library for hardcore gamers who are attracted to East Asian games to buy and play them on Playstation.

I think 007 is awesome and a highlight this gen but this year is already incredible and we havent had September yet.
Thats my momentary ranking this year and September gonna change that for sure.

1. Resident Evil Requiem
2. Nioh 3
3. Saros
4. 007 First Light

Well, I could be playing right now, if there wasnt a 25gig day one patch. So for now, I am playing the waiting game.

I prefer Saros over Returnal overall.
Better bosses, better gameplay/combat, better visuals, better weapons, better level designs.

But, I agree, Retunal beat Saros in story and characters.

Begging for a platformer. Whether Sackboy or a new IP. Hell I take another Tearaway in an open worldish game.

I want to hear no complaints once Sony shut them down.
Too few evidently have bought Saros, probably the same apes who kept complaining Sonys first party games are too similiar, couldnt imagine trying a game that is fundementally different.

And ironcially, it probably was the same apes who didnt buy Japan Studios games at all or dirt cheap and cried over their closure afterwards.

Shut down incoming...

Btw Saros is amazing and so is Returnal.
Both in my top ten this gen.
And I bought both day one, full price and absolutely worth it.

Uncharted 4 is peak its franchise and a landmark for the PS4 era. I miss those times. It felt gaming.

I havent played Pragmata, Mouse P.I., Starfiled or Hades 2. Im only playing Saros and that I havent finished.

@The_Elder Thanks I just claimed em

Finished Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 today and started Saros. Its very good so far and highly addictive.

I prefer big apps over small ones. It looks much cleaner this way than dozen of various thumbnails squeezed together on a screen like Twitch does. Absolutely horrible and unclear. So I welcome that new upcoming change.

Im curious what Microsoft got in the pipeline for Playstation. Gears day and date woulbd be a sure meltdown for a lot of people.

@Enuo Every hype for Xbox, is hype work for Playstation.
Xbox is a third party now. Just like EA and Ubisoft. If they had showcases Pushsquare would also write articles about it.

AI is the solution. A big portion of dev teams can be replaced by AI and save a fortune. Thats the only way.

Weird. I have never heard of this ranking. I like it. Maybe it motivates publishers to step their games up.

A bunch of games from my wishlist.
But I have sworn not to buy any new games in March.
March is intended to be my backlog month.

I never heard of em. Nontheless, my condolences for all people losing their jobs.

Plus ***** Hermen Hulst oops I mean fire Hermen Hulst

According to ESA Report, the average gamer is a 41yo. The silly chliche, gamers being children is quite embarassing.

Blasphemous 2 is a masterpiece and one of the very best Metroidvania of all times. That alone is making this months selection a highlight.
But as I already have played Blasphemous 2, I go with Metal Eden or Warhammer.

I cannot believe this is real and even legal. There got to be a reasonable explaination for this, right?

10 outta 10. Best RE Ive played.

I hope not. I want the PS6 around 2029. PS5 still hasnt reached its limits. Its a powerful machine. And we need more games on it.

Thats what Im talking about. Thats my Sony. Thats my Playstation. I really considered leaving Playstation for PC, even though I owned every Playstation home console.

Resident Evil Requiem, of course. Game looks stunning and plays so well. Love it on my Pro

Im praying this is true. If PC gamers want their own games, let them beg to Valve and not to a console manufacture.

ONLY ON PLAYSTATION bring it back

I have 85% completed, according to Playstation and if the quality doesnt drastically drop, its a 10/10.
Outsanding!

Combat, Loot System, Upgrade System, Gameplay Loop, Exploration, Boss Fights, Enemy Types, OST, Level Design are incredible.
Easy a giant of 2026 and an absolute highlight of the PS5 era.

Team Ninja rocks!

Sony better aquires them then. They have so much potential. The first Kena was spectacular.

The same applies to Team Ninja btw.

Im on Nioh 3. But my copy arrived late ( thanks Amazon). Im addicted to it. More than 30 hours in already. Enjoy all slices of it. Even on that Coop, helping other ones for hours already. My GotY and one of the best games this gen.

Without reading the articel... stability?

I feel like they said something similiar after Kiwami 2. I hope theyll kiwami 4 and 5 too. Even if its just for the PS6.
