Giving V Rising a go and so far it’s really good! It’s a survival, crafting, base building game for anyone wondering, where your goal is to strengthen up your vampire character enough to work your way through 50+ bosses. You even have to stick to the shadows during the day otherwise the sun will slowly burn you to death

Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time (PS5) - Level-5 Returns with Its Most Addictive RPG Yet

@McBurn I find it simple yet still extremely satisfying. But I’ve always enjoyed numbers flying around the screen when I attack. With the Paladin life you can block (R1) and parry (R1 at the right time) with your shield as well as dodging (X). You have the basics, like a normal attack (Square) and strong attack (Triangle). Holding square charges up an attack that sends a sort of shock wave out that can hit far away enemies. Plus there’s a bar that builds up letting you use a special slice attack by pressing L1+Triangle. There might be more I’m forgetting or haven’t unlocked yet.

@Ralizah there was a patch yesterday that apparently lets you still keep track and collect items for any side quests or life challenges you have before starting multiplayer. So that’s something at least. It’s just a shame the sessions are timed and you can’t start new quests while playing with friends.

It would be better if you could just freely explore all the islands without a time limit

I beat it over the weekend and it was a very good game. The graphics and story are what will keep you playing as the gameplay is very simple. Theres a few big areas with branching path ways that you have to tackle in the order the game decides but most of it is quite linear. There’s also no experimenting with the enemy encounters as there’s usually a set way to get through them all. Took me about 5 hours but there are collectibles that will extend that.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for May 2025 Announced

Ark gets a lot of hate, but it’s definitely one of my fav survival games along with 7 days. I’ve been playing it on pro and it looks really good (Aside from the LOD of all the tiny rocks on the beach which pop up right infront of you). Once you get into the taming and start properly upgrading your base it gets really addictive. We had to pay for a server for MP though because if you host a session yourself anyone who joins is tethered to the host. This means you can’t all go off and explore the whole island on your own and have to stay together.

Re: Marathon a 'Premium', Paid for Game on PS5, But It's Not $70

I really like the art style and I also really enjoyed Hunt. I put too many hours into it and at no point did I think to myself that hunt should be a free to play game. I bought it for £30 and have definitely got my moneys worth. I bought God of War Ragnarok for about £60 and played it once. So I don’t get the argument that any game should be free to play. Especially a game that if it clicks with you, you will definitely be putting more hours into it than any single player game.

Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Beta Will Get an Extra 24 Hours on PS5 After PSN Outage

Am I missing something. I played the beta and did the on rails opening and then beat the boss and it ended? Is there more to it?

On a side note MH has always been a game I’ve wanted to enjoy but I’ve never liked how much of a damage sponge the bosses are. I know that’s probably part of the appeal but it gets really tiring chasing them around a map for 30mins. It’s a shame because if it didn’t take so long I’d enjoy the series I think.

Re: Battlefield Labs Revealed, a New Test for Next Battlefield Game

Kiefer-Sutherland

I’m still enjoying BF2042 now. The new maps have been an improvement and the reworks are much appreciated. I’m still impressed with the scale of it all. I spend most of my time running back to the objective after respawning so I get to appreciate all the action from a far and it still looks really good today

I went to sign up for this but the queue time was over an hour

I’ve finally put Eiyuden Chronicles to one side after 80 hours. Was an amazing game.

Just started Dragon Age The Veilgaurd and while after 3 or so hours it hasn’t gripped me yet, graphically it’s a pretty impressive game. The combat is decent too but so far the exploration is rather linear.

Also gonna play some 4-player co-op Generation Zero which I think is a hugely underrated game.
