It’s a nice list. My Ps5 top picks (not necessarily 10s) would be:
Astro
Returnal
Death Stranding 2
Baldur’s gate 3
Street Fighter 6
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Stellar Blade
Trails in the sky 1st
@FantasyExplor3r88 I would not give a 10 to Ragnarok too but it’s a great game. Can’t really be blamed for playing similarly to the game it is the direct continuation! And they built upon the gameplay of 2018 in a lot of ways.
Oh, another acquisition. Consolidation is extremely bad for the industry and I don’t care if it’s Nintendo. It does look like a good fit for some of their minor projects, though.
Metaphor would greatly benefit from a definitive edition with some added content (Mage academy dungeon? Post ending trip? A couple of new characters with new archetypes? Anti-aliasing? ) but it would be preferable if the content could be accessed as DLC.
Yes, it’s been milKeD to D3ath! Bad PS Studios! Now let me take a break from my usual commenting on Push Square to preorder Kirby Air Raiders and Super Mario and the magical Coin Laundry 3. Better not forget to pick up the absolutely unmissable Pokémon Warriors: Mega Evolutions developed by KT.
@rockodoodle MK will always be more popular but I have to say it’s much easier to get online and play the game with Crossworlds and they are having a lot of updates and events
@Fishmasterflex96 it could have been nominated for art direction, game direction, action/adventure game, audio design or best score but it didn't, so it really feels like a dutiful Nintendo checkmark more than anything.
@Fishmasterflex96 more like because Nintendo had to have one game in the run for ...reasons. I don't care about the game but Yotei has a lot of nominees in other categories so it really should have been there instead of Bananza.
I don't care about anything else but I am here for Sonic Crossworlds to actually dethrone Mario Kart World for a lot of good reasons in front of millions of people.
@Oram77 I am still not over it, too. Rebirth is just AMAZING. Having played like 260 hours of Metaphor and 300 hours of Rebirth, the second is just a better videogame but like...it exists on a whole other dimension Lmao. Not hating metaphor, after getting it to a stable frame-rate I played the heck out of it and even unlocked all the archetypes for all the cast to get the ultimate weapons.
Team DS2! Haven’t played Yotei and felt like E33 was a very good, very derivative product. The Trails Remake feels fresher even being a remake and I even liked Fantazio better, though it had a lot of triteness to it.
Welp, Switch sales are impressive no matter what but whatever happens in the end PS2 has an infinitely better library and sold that amount in completely different times for videogames.
I never played this but I remember reading about it in videogame magazines. It definitely has some street fighter I-II vibes and summons fake memories of the early 90s like Japanese city-pop music XD
It’s just a rumor but at this point I am convinced that Xbox team actually throws darts at a board with random ideas every month. If true I hope PS follows this one decision as paying to play online is the only thing that makes me consider PC gaming seriously.
This is still so random and doesn’t make sense. Have they hired someone from Xbox management?
You make new players want to play the game by exposing them to great street fighter action , not by paywalling your most exciting event. Hire me Capcom, I’d quit my (lovely) job in a heartbeat for you💜
Welp, If it’s not in preparation for a portable PlayStation, I fail to see the point of less power hungry home console mode. I mean, if I would be going through an economic rough patch I would just stop playing altogether.
These songs are great and it’s cool they are adding them.
They should have been there right from the start, though - with a dedicated gallery mode, the Answer and the female protagonist from P3P. This remake was just a big wasted opportunity and a cash grab…and this is coming from a SEGA gal through and through.
All true, SSD and DS5 have been amazing. I do like my games to run at 60fps and have nice definition, though. Let the horrors of 30fps gaming die with this generation.
@JustMyOpinion I am overwhelmed by war images coming from all over the world at this particular time so I wouldn’t enjoy something like this at this moment and it surprises me a little it hasn’t affected others. Just projecting my feelings, probably.
With a comment that won't win me any sympathy, I'll say I find a bit odd that a game about realistic warfare is so popular in the current geopolitical climate. At least we are fighting some kind of scumbag merch corporation in the campaign. Why is this so popular, guys? Trying to understand.

Re: Octopath Traveler 0 (PS5) - Perfectly Fine JRPG Action
OTII is one of the best JRPG I played last year, so I will gladly give this a spin when it gets a little bit of a discount.

Re: Final Fantasy X Was the 'Ultimate Perfection' of the Series, Says Dragon Quest Creator
Final Fantasy X is as backwards and mechanically outdated as the series has ever been, it makes sense Hori likes it.
I love the game but it’s for the unique setting, the themes, the music, the controversial but very first dub.
Re: SEGA Actually Admits Persona 5 Royal-Style Re-Releases May Result in Stunted Game Sales
Metaphor would greatly benefit from a definitive edition with some added content (Mage academy dungeon? Post ending trip? A couple of new characters with new archetypes? Anti-aliasing? ) but it would be preferable if the content could be accessed as DLC.
Re: Poll: Five Years of PS5 - How Would You Rate Sony's Console?
Excellent console and great games but I think it hasn’t given us its defining game yet.
My favorite titles so fare are FFVII Rebirth, Returnal, Astrobot, Death Stranding 2 and Stellar blade.
Re: Persona, Metaphor Director Says JRPGs Are on the Brink of a New Era
Pfff, Atlus is surely on the cusp of making another game that Is completely like the other ones they have been making.
Let's not herald them as some harbingers of change, one can surely enjoy their well made games but they are conservative and predictable.
Re: 'We Believe It's Feasible': Emulation Studio Working on PS3 Support for Modern Consoles
I emulate my PS3 games by plugging it in and playing it.
Re: Xbox Devs 'Thrilled' to Be Bringing Their Games to PS5
@TrollOfWar of course, and I bet there are Nintendo programmers that would be thrilled to develop for Pc and PS.
Re: Are Shadow Drops the Future? Bethesda's Betting on Them After Oblivion Remastered Success
So they are currently torn between shadow dropping and announcing a game 10 years before release. Understood.

Re: 'Very Vague' Rumour Claims Sony May Scale Back PC Ports of PS5 Games
I would say it makes sense to port the multiplayer stuff and what we would once call second party games like Death Stranding or Stellar Blade.
Re: Sony Trying to Silence Concord Revival Project After Fans Brought PS5, PC Disaster Back
It’s like the guy asking you to show him a picture of that year you got the really bad haircut, I can understand the logic.
Still mad I couldn’t nab a physical copy of it, I don’t think it was bad (or good) but it’s gonna become such a relic
Re: Steel Yourselves: The Game Awards Nominees Are Being Announced Imminently
Team DS2! Haven’t played Yotei and felt like E33 was a very good, very derivative product. The Trails Remake feels fresher even being a remake and I even liked Fantazio better, though it had a lot of triteness to it.
Re: Classic SEGA Characters NiGHTS, AiAi to Join Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on PS5, PS4
This was (perhaps a bit sadly) the announcement that got me the most excited last night - I hope we get more Sega deep cuts further down the line.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for November 2025?
The format was nice but it ultimately felt like most Nintendo Directs for me: I appreciate the vibe but have barely any interest in anything shown.
Re: State of Play Announced for 11th November, Focus on Japanese PS5 Games
Is it time to understand the concept of love? Is it time to return to Alexandria 🤡?
@Jay767 this! I have been saying it for years!

Re: Switch 2 Port Marks Addition of New Persona 3 Reload Songs on PS5, PS4
These songs are great and it’s cool they are adding them.
They should have been there right from the start, though - with a dedicated gallery mode, the Answer and the female protagonist from P3P. This remake was just a big wasted opportunity and a cash grab…and this is coming from a SEGA gal through and through.

I will play this for the awesome diorama look, not sure if the SD proportions and big heads are giving me tragic history vibes.

All true, SSD and DS5 have been amazing. I do like my games to run at 60fps and have nice definition, though. Let the horrors of 30fps gaming die with this generation.
