Re: Control Resonant Not a 'Safe Sequel', Remedy Aiming to 'Push the Boundaries'

Scottyy

Didn't like Control the first time I finished it but liked it more when I finished it again a month ago. I still think "Astral Maze" is whatever, Jessi is the blandest protagonist they ever had(even more than Saga maybe) and soundtrack was dissapointing. This sequel announcement came at the right time and I am excited about what they will do with melee focus.

Hope it's not as dissapointing as AW2 which was a borefest.

I score it 4/5. Great launch game for PS5, neon lights etc. looks awesome. Miles' powers feels new enough to play another Spidey game. Story is surprisingly emotional. Some great set pieces.

Even when I used shortcuts it still felt like a chore to just reach where I last died etc. It just wasn't fast enough for me to "Let's try one more run" etc. I heard that things start to get better with Biome 4 but I didn't reach there.

@MrPeanutbutterz

Well, while sometimes you can "nearly" skip them since they are just in the next room etc. most of the time it took at least a couple of rooms to get there. And like I said, having all these skirmishes again felt like a chore; not because "It's roguelike, of course you will do some of them again" but because it took too long until I reach where I am eager to try again. And I completely disagree about last part, runs should be short so that I have the will to try again when I die and not curse "Nobody got time for that again."

I loved Sisyphus Tower MUCH MORE than main campaign since it is exactly what I am saying. Another thing is I didn't feel like permanent upgrades were enough comparing to number of runs you did. They must have noticed that since Soros' tagline is "Come back stronger."

I haven't played yet but I am almost sure that Hades for example doing a much better job about "runs" from what I gather.
Edit: Jeez, even GoWR-Valhalla is a much better "roguelike" than Returnal.

Spider-Man, Miles Morales, Uncharted, The Last of Us Part Iⅈ all are better than GoT and GoWR.
Returnal would be a good game if it wasn't one of the worst examples of its genre(roguelike). A roguelike where a run is going forever and leave you out of any eagerness to try again because how long it's gonna take to try where you are again? No, thanks. A roguelike without that curicial "One more run" because of how tiring it gets.
PoP is a great metroidvania.

Re: Former PS4 Exclusive Detroit: Become Human Has Now Sold 15 Million Copies

I plan to play this someday. Bought it in the Steam sale in the news mentioned. I finished Dispatch couple of days ago and while I didn't love it; it certainly reminded me the thrill of "choice-based" adventures and Detroit is the peak for that kind of experience from what I hear.

And I still wait for Eclipse. Hope they release it somehow.
