Main reason I quit the game. It was just annoying and time wasting to go all the way back while exploring because of lack of "benches". Like think about a Metroidvania that you don't want to explore it's map because punishment is much heavier than enjoyment of discovery.

I am going to Silk my Song since it becomes a Hollowknight.

Great news. We need more things like that.

I am playing it a little and looks like "benches" are more than the previous one which was the worst part of it; good to see. I will play it more all through weekend. Let's just say I don't even know what the heck is "Pogo".

Started on PC Gamepass but decided to play it on PS5 since I want to play it on the weekend but I will be away from PC whereas I can take my PS5 with me.

I am expecting something good but not great and worthy of the high praise mostly, just like first one.

PS Store situation is interesting. Also Steam keeps crashing. I quit previous one after 10 hours and don't like it very much but still I want to give this one a try since it's a fresh release and doesn't have the "spoilers/lore/coverage/comments" etc galore of the previous one also; that irritated me too tbh.

Hope the story is much more SM1&MM than SM2 which was dissapointing as hell!

@Nepp67

Calling 30 hours game short is crazy and exactly the biggest problem in the industry.

Hope there won't be another DS game soon and we get to see what the heck is OD finally.

Since I didn't like the demo at all and most probably have different tastes with the reviewer(I am looking at 10/10 AW2 score which for me 6.5/10 at most) I will skip this and won't think about it again probably.

I am too also a bit dissapointed that September SoP is dedicated to a game and not a variety. Hope they have another SoP more akin to that before the end of year.

Speaking about this SoP: While I am looking forward to the game I don't feel like it's need a 30 minuted showing at all! I now I won't be watching since its set-pieces and story are the main reasons to buy for me and I don't want them spoiled.

That's the main success of Fortnite. All additions feels like belonging to that world.

While it's a good change I don't believe it will be good still, since the starting point was a gacha and they didn't scrap that altogether and just reworked things on top of it. Like how many games that turned from mp focused to sp focused worked well? Looking at you Veilguard.

They can just have an option to get refund for Premium pre-orders while changing the content for that package. So they can still change the DLC about characters without making people who pre-ordered Premium suffer.

I am excited about this one.

I think this will be better than 1st one but that is not a great accomplishment.

@BAMozzy

Great point! Thatzmy biggest issue too and the reason for Beavis&Butthead got the biggest backlash.

Good, now sell all other IPs too companies who care. Just work with your Big 3 at Tencent co-owned subdiary.

If only something I care would have this mistake.

It feels like StH is 2026 release. I am excited.

What a Messi! I hate this optimization travesty that is plugging the gen.

I can't speak for the very brave(!) individuals who doesn't think it that way but Baker Mansion in RE7 was indeed very scary and it was great because of that too. Also 2nd area in RE8 was great at being scary too.

This comments from the dev just confirmed 1st person will be the recommended way to play I guess. Since I am almost sure I will play it 2nd time, that will be when I play 3rd person probably.

Exactly what I hoped from the sounds of it. I will take a wild guess and predict that this will be more fun than Wolverine. Just a hunch.

This game is definetely doing a weird campaign since it's announcement. Let's see if they will spend the same money for big commercials like Spidey 2, Ragnarok, even Concord.

@Voltan

Good to know. Thanks.

While Psychonauts 2 is a good get; I hate that there is not native PS5 version while it has XSX version already.

@twitchtvpat

As long as we finally get to play those. I really want to play them chronologically. That's why I haven't touched 4&5 yet.

I hate limited demos. I can get it for mp modes but there is not reason to pull back sp part of the demo.

What are line up! 2026 is going to be Capcom's year.

These days a game "running smoothly" is the rarest sentence in a review unfortunately.

If this game fails to meet expectations, I won't be surprised.

That "refund" requirements feels antic at this point.

Sad. It would be great to see this buried under all Silksong chatter since it looks awful.

What we need most is optimized games. Optimization was the most dissapointing thing in this gen.

I would like to see more Sony 1st IP inspired warbonds. Seeing them adapting those franchises for Warbonds would be fun to see.

I feel like both remasters of THPS games stole the thunder of these. Also it still being released in EA after 5 years is weird. I don't think it will be succesful.

I thought this would be a new Capcom IP.

I am going to play it hopefully. On PC Gamepass that is.

One my favourite moments from RE4 involves an animal similar to this.

I really need other 2 games' remasters too! Why the heck MC is so stubborn to leave them behind!?

Also 7 feel unfair but I will check my thoughts when I finish it.

My only problem with demo was platforming didn't feel as thight as Ragebound. Other than that I prefer this to Ragebound too. Only going by demos of course.

Ragebound, Mafia, Rogue PoP, this. Gears, Silksong, Cronos, SHf coming.

@get2sammyb

Executing better is much preferable than executing worse. So, yeah. I would choose the lesser evil for sure.

Another step they should take is firing Helmen Hulst.

I am sure that Gamescom presentation didn't help

I am just glad having a Platinum trophy is not one of my obssessions.

Although this game's list is ridiculous more than challenging. Feels like a waste of time.

Great to have a button for some kind of defence. One my biggest gripes with SoR4 was not having any dedicated block/parry/dash/dodge button.

But I hate the idea of using you health for special moves, I hated it in SoR4 and already dislike it Here.

Really dissapointing.

People hate Ubisoft because they only do "average" games. Their games are shallow, by the numbers canon fodders. As long as they continue the formula they cracked with FC3 nearly 13 years ago, this perception will continue and rightfully so. Thanks God we see some hope though with latest Avatar and Star Wars games flopping. AC-Shadow not selling as much as Valhalla is a great outcome too.

Edit: Only "good" game from Ubi I can remember in a long time is PoP-Lost Crown and Watch Dogs 2(from what I heard about this at least).

They are the "Jason Statham" of gaming.

Good that it has sp this time. Even if it' mediocre maybe they continue to improve that aspect as well.

Much sooner than I expected. Rogue PoP, this, Cronos.

I am already playing 2-3 games too. Aaaaah!!!

@Odium

PoP and FIST were better too.
