@jmac1686 Okay, thanks for letting me know!

@Rich33 Haha, it does not.

@rjejr I personally wouldn't describe any of it as gimmicky; if I could compare it to anything, think of Super Mario Galaxy. Mario gets various power-ups throughout the game and often they only feature a couple of times — it's like that. And it's the same in terms of level design as well, just a huge level of variety that means certain motifs and mechanics are explored only once or twice. In my opinion, the variety and constant new ideas is a big part of what makes this game great, but it sounds as though that might not align with your taste. If you liked Playroom overall, though, you'll definitely like this.

@Darude84 I would say, regardless of age, if you have any interest in 3D platformers at all, I can't recommend this highly enough.

@nicc83 I would say around the 12-15 hour mark if you just do the main levels and that's it, but if you want to see and do everything, likely 20 hours or more. Obviously it depends on how much exploring you do and how much you're bothered about collecting everything — it's a very meaty 3D platformer in my opinion and a really nice length.

Hey everyone! As usual, happy to answer any questions about the game and the review Thank you for reading.

@BeenGamingSince_83 Yes!

TimeSplitters is a series that completely passed me by on PS2 so I might have to give these a try.

Always been curious to try the Two Point games but honestly, Two Point Museum appeals the most to me so I might just hang on!

@Legacy2K If it helps, there's a demo section on the console PS Store. From the home page of the PS Store, just scroll down and you'll see various horizontal sections. One is headed 'Demos' and shows the latest demos first. (If you scroll all the way to the right, you can open the whole section to see all of them.)

Searching on console only brings up the games themselves, but if you go into them, and select the three dots icon, you should see an option to view the page for the demo and you can download from there — that's another way to do it on PS5 itself

@breakneck They would definitely be in the mix, but Nintendo doesn't share digital sales data.

@Nepp67 You're so right, I've amended the article. Thanks

Article updated with new trailer.

@Voltan Yeah the VR support is well implemented, definitely recommend giving it a go if you have PSVR2.

@Voltan Haha, fixed — I was unsure which adjective I wanted there is all!

Heard lots of good things about this one!

@bring_on_branstons I think the track building is all done on the fly in a very quick fashion, as opposed to a detailed editor. You're just shoving component parts together between races, as far as I understand.

People love a conspiracy, don't they? It's not that uncommon for a game to stagger its launch across various platforms. The developer has quite clearly stated it needs more time to work on the Xbox version, it's no more complicated than that. Just relax.

I loved the game at launch and still do now, but I do think criticisms about some of its pacing and especially its side quests are completely fair.

I've somehow ended up committing to a second playthrough on Final Fantasy mode (skipping the majority of the side quests) and have been having a blast, especially with those incredible boss battles.

I wasn't expecting Sony to show up so no surprises here, especially after it had a fairly major presence at Summer Game Fest and Play Days this month.

@Melee_Ace Hands-off presentation! Didn't play.

@Rich33 Performance was very solid, I believe it was 60 more or less the whole time but unclear what hardware it was running on.

@Fiendish-Beaver This wasn’t mentioned during our preview time so I’m afraid I don’t have an answer for you, sorry!

@Tomato_Goose What we saw was essentially the same as the public gameplay that’s just gone up. It’s the prologue of the game, so it’s the first mission - I imagine the game may open up a little more but it was a pretty linear sequence for the intro to the game.

I kind of liked what was shown, even if I'm also tired of the Marvel-like quippy dialogue. The gameplay looked pretty tight to me. I'll definitely be giving the beta a go.

I agree that the debut CG trailer isn't particularly encouraging, but I personally think it's far too early to totally write this off. We've seen zero seconds of the game itself. At least give them a chance haha

@FuriousMachine You're so right, my bad! Fixed!

Pretty happy to see the Cat Quest games in there, always wanted to check them out.

@DrVenture69 You're welcome, thank you for reading! Glad you're enjoying the game

@thefourfoldroot1 If it helps at all, you can disable the scan lines in the settings, which might make it a little better for you?

@GreatAuk You can turn the scan line filter off in the settings if that helps.

@somnambulance I think I saw credits at about the 12-hour mark, but as I mention in the review, it doesn't end there. It goes a lot deeper if you want to dig in.

@Yorozayu There's a lot of great games around these days!

@Mostik I've just added a little bit about it. From the PS Blog: "Literally shocks Helldivers back into action after being hit and slowed by sneaky, unjust attacks like the revolting bug acid vomit. Won’t help you much with area effects like EMS strikes, though."

@Jill_Sandwich There's no time limit on Warbonds, they're all there permanently, so no pressure.

Horrible.

Whatever this ends up being, I'm there for it.

@Bentleyma Haha fair, I've popped it in the first paragraph as there are definitely similarities there too.

@Fiendish-Beaver Yes I believe you can do that

Updated with more info.

@YoDoops There is some DualSense stuff going on, mainly with the triggers, but it's not particularly remarkable.

@breakneck As far as I'm aware it wasn't an early access game.

@Fiendish-Beaver It's surprisingly big! I think it took me about 30 or so hours, but I was trying to see and do as much as possible. If you aim to beeline it, you can cut that time down.

I completed Another Crab's Treasure on default settings (i.e. no assists turned on), and I've also completed Sekiro and Demon's Souls PS5. Have dabbled in Bloodborne and Elden Ring, got pretty far into both but I wasn't really vibing with them. Certainly not at undies-and-cucumber level but not useless either! Haha

@Melee_Ace Unfortunately not — perhaps some of the games already supporting regular Game Help will support community features? Presumably Sony's games will too.

Perfect casting

@Impossibilium Thanks for the feedback - I’ve removed the con about microtransactions, an error on our part.

@Americansamurai1 They must've just stumbled upon it

@BaldBelper78 MK8 is not only one of the best games on the system but also one of the most casual-friendly. Everyone knows and loves Mario Kart! Very easy pick-up if you're getting a Switch, and the Switch is still selling very well.

I could get behind this.

@UltimateOtaku91 @LifeGirl Believe me, I get it! I spent nearly five years in retail and it can be hellish. I just mean there are simulators that gamify so many other occupations, it's surprising to me we haven't seen one for retail work. I suppose they may exist on Steam, we just don't hear about them.

@Frmknst I've added links to the article.

Chants of Sennaar is a great puzzle game, definitely worth nabbing that if you're interested.

Fully intend to play this, but I'm right in the midst of playing Infinite Wealth right now so I'll get to it a little later.
