I'm in Day One. I was hoping this would come to PlayStation.

I checked it out but not for me. The intro/test was too much effort for a casual time filler. It's probably a good thing to make sure they get people who take it seriously.

They had me either way, but this sounds good. First time for P3 and will be the 2nd for P4.

I have Night in the Woods in my backlog and Overland on my wish list, so good to see. Usually, the PS5 upgrades happen after I have already started the game on PS4, and I prefer not to have dual trophy lists.

I've played almost nothing but this game for the last week — really loving it. I agree with Abbey parts could be way better, but I always feel like I'm making progress towards better cards/abilities or unlocking stat boosts that will help in the battles.

@Olmaz Agreed. I impulse purchased this one and was surprised by the poor performance given the style (which I like.) Responsiveness is one of the most important aspects of games like this for me, and it's not great.

@JohnnyShoulder Graveyard Keeper is great. I platinumed it when it came out. Potion Permit has a similar vibe but I don't think will be as in depth. I liked the game but am experiencing some of the bugs and holding off a bit for now.

@ShogunRok Thanks for the input!

Appreciate the mini-review. As for the grinding — does the game communicate this or is it a situation where you get into a boss battle and suddenly realize you are under leveled?

I can live with the first situation, but the second is really annoying.

This looks interesting as long as there is enough content. There's a lot of potential if they made a game to virtually construct all of the lego sets.

Anyone know what the previous week was? Just curious for reference.

I think Colin has it nailed on LSM. They don't want to remove it, but they do want to force Sony to implement Game Pass and get more subscriptions on PS.

Great idea for a game. Seems obvious but kind of unique.

I appreciate the detail on the review. I may still play this due to the combat being good and dungeons being less of a priority for me.

I was a bit turned off by the real-time aspect as opposed to full turn-based, but it's interesting enough that I want to play more of the demo. I didn't get very far beyond the first combat mission. The game also has character comments for non-voiced lines that don't match the words being said which is extremely annoying.

This review seems spot on from my 6-7 hours with it to this point. The game is really pretty to look at. My only complaint is I wish the hidden object/camera mechanic wasn't there. I'm fine just reading the story and managing the occasional battle.

I played through this over the weekend, and it feels exactly like Until Dawn for better or worse. They simplified the gameplay, but the story beats feel very similar. I would not recommend until it's $30-40 but I enjoyed my playthrough.

I think the cynicism about DLC with this game is overblown. If they were offering content packs it would be one thing, but a few extra characters that don't impact the gameplay are pretty minor.
