@stocko I agree! Bought this in the sale, and it's such fun.. it almost feels like a fighting game, where you have to keep punching the goalie until you KO him.. if you go in knowing it's full on arcade with goalies as bosses, then you'll absolutely love it.. and it plays great on the pitch!
@Quintumply haha! Thanks! It took them long enough to find their b@lls, but I'm really glad they gave it the score they did.. Makes me feel better about my empire of sin preorder.. 😂
Haha, it'll probably be Cyberpunk, especially as Push Square haven't got the integrity to score it, even when it's pulled from the PS Store...
Honestly that act has lost Push Square any credibility it once had. Disgusting practice condoning the release of broken games... The worst kind of gaming 'journalism'...
@ShogunRok so when is PS going to score this car-wreck? why do you feel it is okay to enable this behaviour of releasing broken games by not scoring them and 'waiting for a patch'? Do you consider this to be honest gaming journalism? why is it okay to score other broken games (Empire of Sin, Watchdogs, etc.) but not this one?
@get2sammyb so when is PS going to score this car-wreck? why do you feel it is okay to enable this behaviour of releasing broken games by not scoring them and 'waiting for a patch'? Do you consider this to be honest gaming journalism? why is it okay to score other broken games (Empire of Sin, Watchdogs, etc.) but not this one?
The score should be the same as Empire of Sin's score.. 3/10, why is this getting special treatment? It's been pulled from PS Store it's that bad.. why isn't Push Square calling it? They should have the courage of conviction to give this game the terrible score that it deserves.. No game should be released in this state. Game journalists should not give excuses for this kind of release, no matter "how good it will be after a few patches"... This is the worst thing I've seen Push Square do yet..
@tomassi I totes agree.. maybe they had no choice, it had already been delayed, financials, etc. etc. - it's only a small team too I believe, so they're clearly trying their best - and if you watch them play the game on YouTube (playthroughs) - it's clearly a labour of love... This will do it no favours... but I do honestly think after a month or two, it will be an amazing strategy game... all the interplay between the characters, the decisions you have to make, who's friends with who, who falls in love, etc. etc. - it's sooooo clever... and all of the parts work so well.. it just needed another few months in the oven... but what is there is really great fun already!
.. to be honest.. it's not THAT bad.. yes, there are bugs, yes on day one it crashed multiple times! But it's had 2 large patches already.. it's still got a ways to go (auto resolving when you get attacked, etc) BUT there's a lot of potential here.. the combat is fun, the strategy is fun, the exploring and meeting wacky people with consequences feels like a "choose your own adventure" at times.. and on PS5 at least, it sure looks pretty in 4K (another patch).. if you're interested, wait for a few months and it'll be a far better game.. I've lost hours to this already (you just put it on and have a quick go that turns into a full session) it's different every time without feeling forced, and I think some reviews have been overly harsh.. There's a good game underneath the bugs, but I totally understand why it needs to be scored so low in its current state... I'm looking forward to dipping in and out of this over the next few months to see the improvements!
I'm going to wait for the PS5 upgrade, it's a few months away and by then a lot of the bugs should be crushed.. definitely a game like this needs a few months to get fixed.. patience!
@get2sammyb - could PushSquare investigate why pre-orders are only unlocking at 5pm in the UK - it's as if it's set to U.S. time... people are losing over half a day because of this! :S
... it's really good to see that they're jumping on issues... but boy oh boy that's a real long list of issues if you go onto their site... definitely not worth full price, £30-£40? maybe I'd take a punt... there's a great video on YT with Arekkz and chums talking about it - it'll tell you everything you need to know and what's good / bad about it...
@LiamCroft I'm not criticising every review, I've mentioned two of your reviews (just two) because they've been similar in jaded tone... again, you don't even mention frame-rate - for an action/slasher - surely that's relevant? anyway, again no offence meant I just think you could spend a bit more time covering essential bases (sound, etc.) than going for the negative puns, etc.
@LiamCroft sorry, it's genuinely nothing personal, but for all of your 1200 words, you don't mention endgame activites like Dreamstones AT ALL (different tweaked boss fights), nothing on sound, nothing on graphics, bar one sentence - and actually, the end game is (allegedly) where it's at - the Tower being more than just a wave based activity, it's more about risk / reward - do you open the chests or do you continue further and lose it all... it's also rogue-lite (constantly changing that you don't mention at all), I don't think you even mention frame rate - for a slasher / action game, surely it'd be good to know if it's rock-solid, any dips, etc. - sorry, but as a reader, you didn't inform me, I got most of this information from other reviews - again - nothing personal, but as someone trying to get info on a game before purchase you didn't really tell me much apart from the combat aspect (and I haven't read your COD review, as I don't play them, so I only read reviews of games I'm interested in, so it's not about score, it's about tone / content - you just sound jaded like you need a break from gaming or something...)
@iamtylerdurden1 I have to agree with you, it's this jaded, smug tone that permeates through his reviews recently (watchdogs is a particular low point) that does nothing to inform potential buyers and gives out such little info that it's not a review worth reading.. virtually no mention of graphics, frame rate, sound, etc the mainstays of a review, length of campaign, more detail on tower, etc that you have find elsewhere.. another poor review (but you know what we say, you don't come to Push for their reviews, just for their news..)
... sorry if my popcorn munching is too loud, I'll keep it quiet in the stands... Can I just say how much I'm enjoying Demon's Souls remake and the improvement of Planet Coaster between PS4Pro and PS5 is amazing... munch munch
@Koticinyourhead exactly this, so it would be good to have a list of games that fully utilizes 3D (so last gen games would be Unchartered 4, Ace Combat 7, etc)... :/
@get2sammyb that's just not true.. some don't support or use it, only these games below have been confirmed on PS5 so far for example, but there are reports, just like PS4, that not all games will fully support 3D audio.. It's up to developers to use it (which is why it didn't take off last gen), that's why it might be good to track them this gen for people...
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
Astro’s Playroom
Gran Turismo 7
Returnal
Destruction AllStars
Demon’s Souls
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
Sackboy: A Big Adventure
Horizon Forbidden West
Resident Evil Village
@get2sammyb ..So can you do a list of tempest-enabled games like Demon's, etc.. because all game audio isn't created equal.. and last gen it really wasn't utilised save for 20ish titles.. hopefully it'll pick up more traction this gen, especially if they haven't included Atmos to go for this lacking technology (my console comes on Thursday, but I've had my accessories early, and on normal games with the Pulse headset sounds really great, but I'm waiting for a "proper" title like Demon's to hopefully really flex them..)
@LiamCroft sorry... I didn't make myself clear - any games that have Tempest 3D created by developer - it's only a handful of games (on both PS4/PS5), Sackboy, Demon's Souls, Miles, etc. have it, but games like AC: Valhalla / Watchdogs Legion, etc. don't (games that have been developed to take full advantage of 3D audio)
... I bought it and it's just stunning.. So much fun, the controls become second nature after an hour or two, and I didn't think creating coasters was that bad (a few tries and you'll get the hang) for what it is (a rare simulation / strategy title on console that fits so well and makes few compromises over it's PC counterpart) it deserves a better score than this.. To think the remastered need for speed scored higher than this on this site is just goes to show how this site hasn't quite mastered the art of the review score.. this is worthy of an 8+ (but then again we don't come here for the reviews really do we?!)
(I played it on PS4Pro and can't wait to jump to PS5 version - even getting to 85% park capacity last night, it was still smooth, had so many little visitors on screen, day/night cycle looked amazing and all rides running around - it's really a sight to behold)
@Mostik just opened it now, it feels really good! I can at least try it on a few PS4 games whilst I wait.. the dual charger is interesting, it has its own power pack, so not linked to console, that's nice (I wondered why the box was so heavy!)
.. I've just had all my accessories arrive.. now just got to wait a week for the console.. good old Amazon... (the media remote looks fun, loving the YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, Disney+ buttons on there!) Time get that pulse headset charging! @liamcroft could Push do an article listing all 3D audio games, from PS4/5? (please and thanks!)
... I was there at the beginning... Loved Codemasters since my C64 days.. looks like Dirt 5 will be my last Codemasters game.. like many have said.. expect future titles to be filled with heinous MTXs... Similar to NBA.. sad times... It kind of rings the final death knell for racers in general.. a dying game genre.. 2020 .. the year the just keeps giving..
... I would check out the live streams of this on YouTube.. the controls look really intuitive.. I'll be getting it asap and I have it on pc (never really played it, part of a humble bundle) but I've tried it and it's just the type of game next gen needs, an proper in-depth strategy game.. stunning stuff
.. how the hell can people have reviewed this already? it's not even released and MP hasn't even started (launch day today?!?) even a pre-release version shouldn't be reviewed yet... it should take at least a couple of weeks to review this.. but gaming journalism wants those clicks and wants to be first, sod the integrity of the review... it's impossible to review a game like this until real people are out there in the wild playing it and forming teams and climbing up the tower, etc. etc. I'm not defending Godfall (it does look a little repetitive) - but this rush to get reviews out early doesn't give games a chance these days..
.. absolutely you can predict day one server and disconnection issues if it's constantly online.. absolutely no need unless you're playing MP.. definitely waiting for the inevitable server stabilisation and online patches during the first few weeks... then we're good to go!
I loved the first half of the game, but the last half, replaying those tight tentacle corridors over and over was incredibly dull.. no amount of ray tracing can fix that... totally unnecessary remaster...
...it's a shame to see Planet Coaster not getting much love... it's going to be AMAZING on PS5... that and FUSER!!! dip in / out games alongside AAA titles is going to be a must for PS5... and Coaster / Fuser are going to be on the hard drive for a loooooong time...
I have bought the 3D cans, but I'm worried that 3D audio isn't going to be mandatory for developers, so similar to last gen (this gen?) it was barely used... :/
.. it's terrible.. no communities, I mean how can you say this is good when there aren't even any filters any more when searching for deals, etc? (so you can get rid of add ons, etc) And no wishlists? Come on PushSquare, it's a massive step backwards to what we had! Games don't have titles, so if the artwork is rubbish you can't see what the game is! No PS Now integration.. it's not good...
... it's definitely a step back... no wishlists, no communities.. and the worst part? NO FILTERS!!! So you can't even filter out "add ons" or sort the store out A-Z, etc. really bad move...
... I would have hoped that they'd integrate PS Now too, so you can browse PS Now titles and download them to your PS... NOPE...
... still no text under titles (game title) - which would be nice as sometimes the artwork is illegible... it's just really badly thought out... it's as if they didn't even do a customer focus group or anything like that... "never mind what the customers use or need, we're just trimming it all back to the bare bones..." it's years behind XB's app now...
..it's one to watch, I'm just worried about longevity... the amount of moves seems pretty limited from the videos I've seen... one to wait for reviews of... and if it is online only, definitely wait for server issues / bugs to be ironed out first...
... this is great news for it... as a new IP (and an MP one at that) - it's always difficult (OnRush for example)... and it was always going to struggle against the likes of Demon's Souls, Miles and Sackboy... this way it allows more people to buy a PS5 and for us to get the rush of new titles out of the way... and hopefully a fantastic MP game to dip in / out of (it looks like the new Rocket League vs Twisted Metal to me!) so it's all good... and you can't beat free! No complaints here and it almost feels a little like a reward for sticking with them...
@carlos82 the prices are criminal, but I've bought DS and Spidey Ultimate as physcial purchase, so I will trade in and get half it back (as I've already played / completed DS before so it shouldn't take too long - it's not the longest game in the world, quite short to be honest!) then they can be traded in for PSN vouchers or whatever later down the line!
.. for all my complaining at Sony... (and with just cause, I mean take a look at the new online store!).. their launch line-up is amazing... for a new console... it's not just the PS5 exclusives (DS, Sackboy, Astrobot, etc.) - it's the AAA big-hitters that will be improved (Watchdogs, Valhalla, Cyberpunk, etc.) - and then there's (for me) the sleeper hits like Planet Coaster and Fuser which give amazing dip in/out longevity... you compare this to the XB1X launch (which I did consider getting at the same time) - and there's just nothing there to excite! 4 weeks to go and I cannot wait... sure there'll be teething problems, but you have to expect that as an early adopter!
Genuinely getting excited now! (especially after seeing the amazing UX)

Games don't have titles, so if the artwork is rubbish you can't see what the game is! No PS Now integration.. it's not good...

... simply perfect. Already preordered and can not wait. Looking forward to meeting the 🐙 with 🔔 again!
Re: PlayStation Phone App Redesigned for PS5 with New Features
... it's definitely a step back... no wishlists, no communities.. and the worst part? NO FILTERS!!! So you can't even filter out "add ons" or sort the store out A-Z, etc. really bad move...
... I would have hoped that they'd integrate PS Now too, so you can browse PS Now titles and download them to your PS... NOPE...
... still no text under titles (game title) - which would be nice as sometimes the artwork is illegible... it's just really badly thought out... it's as if they didn't even do a customer focus group or anything like that... "never mind what the customers use or need, we're just trimming it all back to the bare bones..." it's years behind XB's app now...
Re: Thanks to PS5, Godfall Has Near Instant Restarts if You Die
..it's one to watch, I'm just worried about longevity... the amount of moves seems pretty limited from the videos I've seen... one to wait for reviews of... and if it is online only, definitely wait for server issues / bugs to be ironed out first...
Re: PS5's Destruction AllStars Free with PS Plus, Delayed to February 2021
... this is great news for it... as a new IP (and an MP one at that) - it's always difficult (OnRush for example)... and it was always going to struggle against the likes of Demon's Souls, Miles and Sackboy... this way it allows more people to buy a PS5 and for us to get the rush of new titles out of the way... and hopefully a fantastic MP game to dip in / out of (it looks like the new Rocket League vs Twisted Metal to me!) so it's all good... and you can't beat free! No complaints here and it almost feels a little like a reward for sticking with them...
Re: Demon's Souls PS5 Apparently Went Gold Last Month
@carlos82 the prices are criminal, but I've bought DS and Spidey Ultimate as physcial purchase, so I will trade in and get half it back (as I've already played / completed DS before so it shouldn't take too long - it's not the longest game in the world, quite short to be honest!) then they can be traded in for PSN vouchers or whatever later down the line!
Re: Demon's Souls PS5 Apparently Went Gold Last Month
.. for all my complaining at Sony... (and with just cause, I mean take a look at the new online store!).. their launch line-up is amazing... for a new console... it's not just the PS5 exclusives (DS, Sackboy, Astrobot, etc.) - it's the AAA big-hitters that will be improved (Watchdogs, Valhalla, Cyberpunk, etc.) - and then there's (for me) the sleeper hits like Planet Coaster and Fuser which give amazing dip in/out longevity... you compare this to the XB1X launch (which I did consider getting at the same time) - and there's just nothing there to excite! 4 weeks to go and I cannot wait... sure there'll be teething problems, but you have to expect that as an early adopter!
Genuinely getting excited now! (especially after seeing the amazing UX)
