The word “slop” goes back centuries, originally referring to the watery leftovers ladled out to livestock or the thin, unimpressive meals served to sailors. Over time, it stretched into a catch-all for anything messy, careless, or beneath proper standards. Linguists argue about its exact evolution, but they all agree on one thing: slop endures. It’s a reminder of loose edges, of the stuff we’d rather not think about but still somehow defines us.
And in a way — though no scholar would dare admit this — slop should help us never forget. Not history, not language, but the SummerSlam Hell in a Cell match between Mankind and The Undertaker. Yes, that one. The match where Mick Foley fell from the top of the cage like gravity suddenly realized it had paperwork to catch up on. Where the chair followed him down as if it, too, had something to prove. Where a tooth ended up in his nose and everyone watching collectively questioned the fragility of the human body. There’s no logical bridge between etymology and that moment… but somehow, deep down, you know there never needed to be.
Honestly, Being how little i feel my PS5 has brought to my gaming table, compared to nearly every other Playstation.....I'm going be hesitant on the next version. Sony needs to solve it's game output problem.
I missed out on this on OG PS, did pick it up on 3DS never got around to playing it. I guess now I'll just continue the trend of buying it and not playing it again.
@WolfyTn I feel yes, maybe. It feels like Uncharted in Space with a sprinkle of Souls-like. The difficulty varies if you want a challenge; the hardest mode can be pretty challenging. The Story is not it's strongest suit, so if you don't Like Star Wars I think if the gameplay appeals to you, you will find it fun.
Looks nice, it being Rougelite is a little of a turn-off for me, which in terms of smaller indie like games it is the new open-world...Meaning everything has to be Rouglite. Sigh....
