Genuinely surprises me that people still don't know that other handhelds exist that do the exact same functionality in streaming (at times better) and more.
There's plenty of Android handhelds in a similar price bracket with internal storage, the ability to play Android games, emulated games, Steam/PC games and streaming from PC or PS5 or Xbox.
I mean if you already own a Steam Deck or PC handheld you can do all the above too.

Here's the thing. I think how good PS Plus is completely tied to how badly Playstation is doing during the generation. When we were subscribed during the PS3/PS Vita/early PS4 days the free monthly games were mostly awesome.
However, as the PS4 cemented Playstation as the console to own and with no competition from Xbox in terms of hardware there's been literally no reason for them to give us good games. Every year seems to give us worse offerings.
Yes the Extra and Premium tiers might be good value but let's be real - the Gamepass offering is way better value over those.
I had premium for a year and downgraded to Essential over last couple of years

What a useless article when most of the specs are unconfirmed.
Also these are completely different devices so comparing apples to oranges.
A better comparison would be to the OG Switch and PC handhelds like the Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go, ROG Ally X etc.

What a joke of a list
As others have said my top 3: Stellar Blade, Metaphor Refantazio and FF7 Rebirth should be on this list. Cutoff of August 30th be damned.
Even Persona 3 Reload probably should make this list although I understand if they're not including remakes.

Yeah...this dual CEO setup sounds stupid. How can you have a unified vision when both CEOs seem to be working towards different things

How kind of them to reduce the price of a game you can purchase physically for around £30 brand new. Instead of paying £70 for a digital version we now have the honour of paying £50!

All digital is not the issue (would prefer if physical continued). It's the walled off nature of all consoles' digital distribution. Having them locked off to only buy from a single store allows them to jack up prices and prevents competition.

Best way to focus on your current console...by creating more/better software experiences.

The two games I've played the most on the base PS5 are FF16 and FF7 Rebirth. Both games struggle mightily in fidelity mode and could really do with a boost. I was interested in trading in my PS5 for a pro model but at £800 (with disc drive add on) this is unrealistic and just downright stupid.
I would have been willing to pay a max of £200 on top of the standard PS5 but as it stands it's £400 more than the standard if I want a disc drive with the PS5 Pro

Don't know how people are justifying this in the comments?
£60-70 is modern AAA game pricing
This should be in the £40-50 range
Unfortunately I'll be waiting for a price drop on this.

I've grown to appreciate physical media as I've gotten older. I love owning something tangible to remind me of the memories playing the game.
While it's undeniable that digital is taking over its also undeniable that the prospect of media vanishing - due to expired licenses or the developer just pulls it off digital markets - is scary.
Unlike other entertainment gaming preservation is not in a great place right now (it has gotten better). That and the unwillingness for companies to make games backwards compatible and available to play on future consoles is negligence of the art form.

@Fight_Teza_Fight Better than nothing?! Instead of paying 40-50 quid in Game to get 2% off, how about searching online on Amazon, Base, Shopto and plenty of other stores that havr the game below RRP even as pre orders.
At this point the only relevance Game has in the UK is due to the ignorance of people not willing to explore alternatives or have a fear of shopping online

@Rukiafan7 your stats must be really accurate since the switch has been out for just over a month and of the 2 million+ sales a handful of users have had problems. Just sayin

Apart from Drawn to Death - Disappointing once again

I wanted to pick up Severed. Glad I didn't...

I agree that this chapter was linear, confined and too long. However, I really enjoyed the survival horror aspect and the fact that you are stripped of your weapons. This switches up the gameplay quite nicely. It was way too long though.

It seems the EU January sale is much better than this?

Hi guys great review. Just a quick point that the world you are exploring is called Eos, not Insomnia. Insomnia is the name of the royal capital city.

That controller looks horrid! 150 quid? Madness...

Wow! I'm so surprised! Another HD remaster! 😑
