I loved this on PC. Insta Buy for me on PS5

i am so ready for this game. And by the way... i believe games should have a number of options for difficulty. I like playing, but my reflexes are not what they used to be. Let folks play how they want with their games.

I am not a fan of Jonathan Blow...
So I will be passing on this...
To those that want to jump in, I want you to have fun....

"i think it is yes its definetly on there in england it is anyway..."

I am in the U.S. and unfortunately, Reanimal is not there. Saddened because I was hoping to grab it in a sale.

...i mean reanimal is the only new game on there...?

I did not see Reanimal at all. Am I not in the right place?

Please Look Forward To It....

This is compared to Saros or Returnal?
Looks more like DOOM the Dark Ages to me.
I could be wrong, but this could go nowhere .
Anxious to see the real game play in action and will decide from there.....

Have fun storming the castle"

Excellent!

"How similar is it in regards to it's predecessor? Hades is one of my favourite games of all time so I've been eagerly awaiting the switch exclusivity deal to end for it to land on PS5."

Hades 2 is very similar to the first game, but that is in no way a drawback.
Has a different protagonist and it seems the internal systems for the new game have been dialed up to 11.
It truly serves as a upgrade to the first game in almost every way. If you liked the first game, you are going to love the second one.
I highly recommend it.
For those that are curious, you do not have had to play the first game to play the second.
If you have not played it yet, the original Hades in on sale this week for less than $10.
Well worth the price for the amount of game play you get.
Hades 2 goes up for sale on PSN tomorrow.

Played Hades 2 on PC.
Looking forward to settling back in my chair and to play it on PS5.
Excellent game!

This reminds me a lot of Tchia which was a great game.
I'm just not sure I need another one like that.

This looks awesome. I can not wait.

I am going to pick it up now. I just finished the demo last night and this review just closed the door for me.
Very excited to get back in and play to conclusion.
Thank you for an excellent review.

"Absolum and BALL x PIT were my 2025 GOTYs".

These and KCD2 were my absolute favorites from 2025.

Fascinating list!
Thank you....

"Halls of Torment. My god, I have a serious problem...
Someone take survival roguelites away from me."

You are absolutely spot on with this pick. I got a pile of games for Christmas week from friends and family and Halls of Tomenet and... Absolum, are the clear winners for my attention right now. So these two are the pick of the weekend for me.

"Blimey, a sale on a FromSoftware game! I’m still a bit scared to play...."
You should give it a go. The great thing about E.R. is the fact that if you get to a boss you can't beat... just run away and level up doing other stuff. Then come back and beat the snot out of them. Go where you want and do what you want. Elden Ring is awesome and made me a believer. It is also in my opinion the easiest of the Dark Souls games because you can run away and level up. I highly recommend it!

That is so cool.
Definitely reinstalling the game for the K-9.
Great game.

No comments at all?
I'm not really excited for this after hearing from my friends who played it.

Without a doubt.... Dispatch.
Nuff' said....

"I just re-downloded this game, trying once again to get into it. The game looks amazing, but something about this one just doesn't do it for me."

You know, I feel the same way.
I don't know why, but I have always felt the same way.
I re-install, start to play it again and within a few days, I just fall off again. I thought I was the only one....

Absolutely loved it!
Fantastic game.....

There is still plenty "adult" content in the game.
I don't believe Dispatch suffers for not having more adult content.

Any word on an upgrade path for previous owners?

For the folks that asked the question.
Yes, Dispatch is well worth the coin.
I really liked it.

I bought the game at launch to support the devs.
I am really enjoying it so far.
Just gets better and better every week.
Highly recommended.

We have seen these types of deluxe package pricing in the past. Probably the newest example of this was Planet Zoo which with everything included at launch was $199.00 USD. So publishers are not above trying to get as much money out of a product before it is even available.

This has been a fantastic game so far. The animation is fantastic and the story has been great. If you are at all curious, I would step up and support this developer. Well worth it.

Every year the grandkids and I play Costume Quest. There are two in the series and they are both excellent. I'm not really a big fan of horror games per se, but I love playing this with them. I also try to watch "Young Frankenstein" every Halloween. My favorite Mel Brooks classic.

I bought it and love it so far!
Think it is important to support people when they make quality products that are different than the majority of games out there.
Loved T.T. when it was around and if my support helps this team going forward, then I am all for it.

For me, even though I kinda enjoyed the others, I'll wait for PS+ Pass!

Yeah, I bought the original at launch and paid the price for my decision. I don't trust these guys and will not purchase another game from them. Fool me once, shame on you... and so forth.

This game is flat out brilliant!
For those that are waiting to try this, I suggest you jump right in to KCD2 when you can. This and Expedition 33 are far and away my favorite games of the year.

"This is a GAME CHANGER! As an aging gamer, I struggle to hear some of those higher frequencies in games."

I am also an older gamer and find that I have exactly the same thing happen in games with sound. It is nice to see Sony recognizing that some of us have issues with age, but still love to game.

Excellent! I have had this on my radar for quite awhile. Good to see that it is reviewing well. Next to play after I finish KCD2. For those that are on the fence, there is a demo available.

I have already pre-ordered Indiana Jones and Expedition 33.
Going to be a great April!

Now, I just have to get farther into KCD2 (85 hours so far). It has been, remarkable. Game of the Year contender without doubt.

"Get it? Tire."

OOooofffff.....

I am a huge From Software fan.
But this really looks like a Elden Ring meets PUBG and I am just not feeling it.
First title from this group that will not be an insta-buy for me.
If my impressions are correct, I hope the folks that do play it have a great time.
I just won't be one of them....

Excellent!
I am excited for this.
RGG has never let me down.
Arrrggghh Matey.

Interesting to see Civ 7 at the number 2 spot. Good on them. Question is, when will we see a proper review for Civ 7 on Push Square?

As for KCD2... simply the best game I have played since BG 3.
It is my favorite game of the year so far.
Absolutely incredible!

I am so in for this. Pre-ordered. I love everything this company makes. They have not let me down yet....

OK, I am going against the grain here.... but... How the heck do you do a movie about 2 people spending their time in split screen doing jumping and sliding?
I suppose it would be relatively easy to make this an animated film (live action? I don't think so...) but what are you bringing to the party that would cause folks to want to see it?
I think Hazelight should just take it's option money and walk into the sunset.
Complaining about it will not make any Hollywood producer want to work with you.

Is there any word on when Push Square might be offering a review on Civ 7?

For me, I would like to try it. But, there is something gummed up about the demo. It stays at 1% and will not advance. I have never seen this in any other game on the PS5. Guess I am just going to miss out.

"I'm just wondering if the combat still sucks, don't care what anyone says the combat in the first game is terrible ....."

From my experience KCD2 combat is MUCH better, especially at 60 fps.
Just about everything in this sequel is better than the original. You do not need to play the first game to experience KCD2. In fact, I have told my mates that are interested to jump right into KCD2 and just ignore the original.
The game is setup to give you enough back story information that you can jump right in here.
Come on folks, let's support Warhorse and get KCD2.
If you like big open worlds, I think you are going to have a fantastic time with this game.
Now... I have to get back to 1403 AD.

To all those that have asked, it is NOT necessary to play the first game. You can jump right into this one.

I have been working with a friend that is doing a review and have had the chance to watch him play for about 20 hours.
KCD 2 does a wonderful job of picking up from the first game and there are a number of story overviews that are on line for KCD. But frankly, the story for the first one is quite threadbare, it is the experience that is the real deal.
Warhorse has taken it over the top with KCD2.

You will be able to talk to a dozen people a month from now and their experience and story will be markedly different from each other. Please jump right into this one because the first game is a classic, but it is a little janky and not completely ready for prime time.

This game (from what I have seen so far) is due to be a classic that folks will be playing years from now.

I am also really pumped to get the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator. Come on Phil. Release all the games!

Pre-ordered and good to go.
Great Feb this year.
** Yakuza Pirate
** Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
** Monster Hunter Wilds
** Civ 7
Sheesh, looks like I am tied up until at least Summer.

@lazarus11
My understanding from the video was that he WAS using her dice.
I think that is amazing!
There she is, in her underwear, playing for "beggars" as everything she had is gone.
Serves her right for cheating Henry and thinking she would get away with it.
No other game that I know of would do this. Fantastic stuff!
I sent this video to 4 friends and 3 of them turned around and ordered the game.
Feb 4 can't come quickly enough for me.
