Can't wait for Furi! So hyped!
It's great that we got 2 ps4 games this month. Last month we only got one real ps4 game and it was a sports game.

"what goodies could Sony offer to top it?"
Aside from literally anything? It's a good thing this month is almost over. It means we'll never have that trash Gone Home being offered again.

You're doing the year a huge disservice by putting Gone Home on the list when there are far superior choices like Firewatch, Salt and Sanctuary, or almost any other 2016 game available.

For those who aren't interested at all in sports games, this is literally the worst ps4 offering ever. Gone Home is a ~2 hour long garbage walking simulator that's not even worth being free on ps+.
Along with NMS being delayed till August, I'm not sure what to look forward to for ps4 this month.

@eaglebob345 Good lord...
1. 3D games are not automatically better than 2D games. 2D and 3D perspectives are different, each having their advantages over the other. 3D games are not meant to be the only kind of game perspective to be made. As long as games only work in 2D or work better in 2D, 2D games will live on.
2. You're seriously trying to say "I think these 3D games suck. Ubisoft should stop focusing on these sucky 3D games and use their resources to make these 2D games into 3D games, which will improve them."? I'm gonna do the same as Crimson and not touch on everything that's wrong with that.

2D games are not out of date. You're out of date if you cannot appreciate diversity in games.

People are making too big of a deal of having to push TWO buttons to start pogoing. Really, any competent gamer should be able to do that without trouble. There's no need to have played Battletoads or MM3.

Likewise, pushing two buttons to skip a cutscene takes, what, half a second longer? Oh, the humanity!

Finally, the 3D graphic layers look fine. It's what to be expected from a remade NES game.

A 7 is more appropriate. While the end section is pretty darn tricky with the ropes, the rest of the game isn't that hard, thanks to the large amount of health you'll get throughout the game and the relatively simple bosses. The gameplay and music are pretty great, in my book.

After playing through on moderate, I can safely say the difficulty curve complaint has no merit. I've only fought a few bosses that gave me a lot of trouble, one of them being an optional boss that I fought too early. I fought more easier bosses than harder bosses in the main story because I took the time explore each area, looking for materials and killing stuff for the awesome shop system that should've been mentioned in the review.
Besides, the whole point of a boss is to be challenging. If you could beat them as easily as a regular enemy, that would detract from the game and you would have no need to ever use the many items you get throughout the game. I've never found so many Treats and Specifics in a Tales game before and I'm glad the game pressured me into using them during challenging boss fights. As long as you make good use of food, don't rush through the game, and play smartly, bosses won't be unfairly difficult.
Though the game can still be an 8 because of Teepo. Most annoying weird companion yet...

First person would be made even worse because you'd pretty much need to use M&K controls for it to work, and the game is not meant to be played with M&K.

I stumbled upon this in the shop a few days ago... I had more fun than I think I should've. It was a "I don't know what I expected" moment. I just wish I could've played on a harder difficulty than normal in the demo, unless you're supposed to beat the songs on easy as well...

HL3 doesn't belong on this list... It's a PC franchise that got ported to consoles. If that franchise gets a "comeback", the "comeback" would happen on PC, not PS4.

I'm against this. I'd rather play the original game, not a softened up version.

^Journey was also released as part of a 3 pack on disc, so I don't think it qualified for the Downloadable section anymore.

Since I already have a ps3, I just got the Saga game collection. Liking it so far.

^You're only making yourself look like an "amateur" with that sexist remark.

OT: I think this game looks like it's worth a shot. It seems different enough from the other two.
