Honestly I had trouble getting through Tsushima and hadn’t planned on getting Yotei. But had the opportunity to get it at a nice discount so snagged it anyway. I’ve been quite surprised. It’s hooked me more than Tsushima ever did. Tweaks to the gameplay and that feeling of more forward momentum made a huge difference to me. Side quests are generally more interesting as well. Haven’t finished it yet but so far I’m enjoying it more than GoT.

You could probably use this same article every few weeks as they rotate between indies and bigger games. Just plug in the name of the sale and the rest will be right 95% of the time.

Same old games at the same old prices.

Oh how I miss the sales of yesteryear when Sony had surprise flash sales with prices that actually were surprising. No more. 🙁

@LiamCroft Is streaming still not working in the UK? Thought there would be a story or update about it finally working again.

@LiamCroft PS3 streaming is finally working again. At least it is for me in the US.

It’s kind of sad that Sony has not put out a statement on what’s going on with this.

Thought these come out at 11 am EST in the US but still not seeing them…

If a game was in development for 7 years and still didn’t have gameplay to show, it clearly was having problems and was likely rightfully canned.

Wasn’t the original game $69.99? So they’re basically charging us $5 more than what players can get now for $79.99. Not cool.

There was a lot to like about out it - combat and traversal in particular. And I honestly do wish they had been given more time to turn it around from a development point of view.

Oh well, I will admit that when I heard a few months ago that they would be turning the servers off, I was shocked that they were still operating.

However bad and sexual in nature the game itself is, the headline used here is just incredibly tasteless and unnecessary.

Fun game! Happy it’s going premium. Definitely worth a shot if you enjoy games like the aforementioned Castle Crashers.

Jez Corden being “clearly in the know” about all things Xbox is certainly a take. He’s maybe 50-50 at best on Xbox rumors.

Can you play the DLC without completing the main game? I own the game and loved the world and traversal but, like others, lost interest because of the typical open world muck.

I would love to play a streamlined story based game in the same universe. And if playing the DLC without needing to finish the main game will get me that, I’m in.

@SeaDaVie Good way to show that Push Square isn’t overly biased.

@SeaDaVie Well, to be fair, PlayStation only had two big first party games and those both made the top 5. I’m sure if there were others, they’d probably be in positions 2-5 just like PX with Microsoft games. It’s the nature of the beast.

It’s amazing how some people will comment on an unrelated game just to bash E33 some more. Give it up already!

As for Yotei, I still haven’t even finished the first game. Look forward to playing one day but even Tsushima becomes a bit of a slog after a while so we’ll have to see when it comes to Yotei.

TBH, I like it more than Mario Kart World. Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed is actually my favorite kart racer of all time and this came close to (but not quite) dethroning it. Great game and well deserved placement in the top 10.

I absolutely love this game but have been stuck in one particularly difficult area (about 8 hours in) so an easier difficulty is welcome. Might try to only use it for that part as the rest has been challenging but doable and felt great.

Wasn’t Yakuza Kiwami a PS Plus offering? I think that’s how I got it. Wondering if some of those who aren’t able to upgrade own it from that.

Pipestrillo would have been in my Top 5 if it had been an option, which it absolutely should have been. Great game!!!

I had a good time with Wo Long on GamePass when it came out. Those who haven’t played it are in for a treat.

Rest of the line up doesn’t do much for me (already own Mirage). But it’s not a bad month.

Know it’s not likely, but developers who made the excellent remake should be given the IP, start their own shop and say f*** you EA!!!

I think a lot of people, like myself, heard Arc Raiders was great but didn’t know what it was about and what the gameplay was like. So yeah, I can see why it’s #1.

Pretty funny that your sister, Nintendo Life, gave the upgrade a 9/10.

Same as others here in that this is exactly what I expected and not “subpar” as it was never advertised as anything more. It’s not a remake. Increased resolution and, especially, 60 FPS are music to my ears. Can’t wait to dig in tonight.

Love the game but it’s damn hard! I still haven’t gotten to the second world, let alone open up the modes outside of Campaign.

Seems more like new additions than an “overhaul” but freebies for GT7 are always welcome.

Yeah, that spidery eye thing is directly from Diablo 4 and that picture with it is from some fans who went to the location. Guessing is over. It’s definitely D4.

Wish Sky Chapter 1 had gotten a discount for Black Friday. May end up grabbing Daybreak instead of waiting for a sale for that one.

Outside of Neon White and The Outlast Trials, it seems like Sony decided to round up a bunch of disappointing games. Synduality in particular has awful reviews on Steam.

Oh well, at least I don’t own any of them except Neon White!

It’s also been reported that there are indications from those new job listings that the sequel will be multi-platform. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the first game ported to Xbox/Switch 2 in the near future.

ShiftUp is looking to capitalize on its success and I don’t blame them!

Not really sure it even has to do with less effort. It seems like a lot went into trying to do something new with the basically all co-op campaign. Problem is it turned out like crap. Sometimes you fail doing something different.

Also think the MP is pretty good this year. But unfortunately for CoD, good isn’t good enough when Battlefield turned out as well as it did.

Is MLB 25 really worth buying? I’ve read some things that made it sound like it was actually a pretty big regression from past games. I haven’t bought MLB for a while so was interested until I dug into it a little deeper. Sounds like 24 is better option.

Still looking forward to this. This is by far the lowest score for the game thus far. Seeing 8s and 9s from other sources and looks right up my alley.

Jez isn’t a reliable source for his own Xbox “beat”. I don’t why anyone thought it was worth wasting time citing him for an even less reliable rumor about PlayStation.

@LogicStrikesAgain Yeah, now that I think about it, I guess only Xbox and Nvidia allow cloud streaming directly to mobile devices.

As others have stated, you can use the remote play app and a controller and basically have a Portal. I’ll save my $200 for new games.

This is the kind of game I wish there was a free trial available. I’m not big into extraction shooters but with the positive reviews it’s been giving, I wouldn’t mind giving it a try. Just can’t spend $40-50 on something I may end up hating.

So we just need to download World Stage and it will still have all the other stuff in the original in addition to the new things added? Or do we need to download the original as well?

Played this on Game Pass. Nice relaxing skiing game. Well worth checking out!

@ShogunRok Since it’s now a native PS5 game, does it have any graphical or performance benefits over the original game?

Yes, I’ve been playing it for the past few days (plucked out for the deluxe because I knew I’d want the expansions) and it’s fantastic. So much better than the first one IMHO, especially the combat. Looks gorgeous as well!

@LiamCroft Wasn’t WRC 24 renamed to just EA Sports WRC? It’s hard to even find reviews of “WRC 24”. It’s a bit confusing. If you search the PlayStation store for WRC 24, you won’t find it under that name.

One other thing though is that Rise will have sold copies likely at a much steeper discount. That said, this is still a really poor showing.

Never hated this level as much as others but it probably did go on a tad long.

I’ll be playing it on GamePass. But glad it’ll be available for PlayStation folks to enjoy for the first time.

I honestly think if it’s more of PC hybrid with Steam, etc. offered, and more expensive to boot then it’s going to have to drop the paid multiplayer to compete with other PCs since there isn’t a fee there. People in Xbox communities have been saying this will have to happen ever since it’s been rumored that it will be a PC hybrid. So this isn’t a surprise at all to me.

This is going to be an expensive machine. I think MS won’t make it a loss leader. They’ll want to make some money from it, still promote GamePass and selling their own games. It’s not like the only revenue source they have is the lowest rung of GP.

@cainhurst94 Wukong isn’t a Sony game.

Damn shame. I love Cruise n’ Blast on Switch so I had high hopes that this would turn out well since previous Fast and Furious games have sucked.

First campaign still is my favorite of the series and cannot wait to play this. Looks gorgeous!
