Even The Tourist won’t output to 8K because the PS5 was never updated to pass it through correctly via HDMI 2.1.

So, no, it wouldn’t even matter if more devs did 8K capable games.

So Sony says they want to get PC players playing their games then entice them to buy a PS5 for the sequel. Hmm…this sure fits in with that strategy!

PC gamers are eating better than anyone. They have so many games and exclusives that will never, ever come to any console. To think they’ll spend another $500 a PS5 just to play a few additional games is laughable. Ain’t going to happen. They’ll wait it out or just live without them.

Good one Hermen!

Oooh…30+ minutes. Don’t overwhelm us Sony!!!

It’s actually a bigger deal that this is going to PC GamePass than Xbox GamePass.

Been playing this on mobile and really enjoying it so far. Honestly I could care less about the gotcha part of these games. And I think if more people played them they’d see that they are legit high quality games that I have more fun with than some $70 AAA games without having to spend a dime.

It’s shocking that there’s actually different opinions on a game. 7/10 on Pure Xbox but Eurogamer gave it a perfect 5/5?!?

I can’t believe it. Everyone is supposed to have negative opinions on this game. No way it almost has the same average as Ghost of Tsushima on OpenCritic (82 vs 84).

All those bashing the game here on Push Square have to be right! Surely everyone here has an informed opinion from playing the game!

Informative reading a bunch of console bashing comments from people who haven’t even played the game.

Hellblade 2 has an 82 on OpenCritic. For comparison, Ghosts of Tsushima has an 84. But according to readers here, this game is complete trash.

Great game. Absolutely beautiful and the sound is amazing. And despite what others think, the immersiveness is part of the gameplay. It makes it an experience.

Enjoying every minute of it. All that said I don’t think it was necessary to have this article here.

Fun game but I’m surprised it has the player base to be able to fund this. Will be checking it out again with the upgrade!

Just having another one would be better than the silent treatment we’ve been given.

You’d think they’d try a little harder with Hellblade II hitting GamePass this month. But guess with the huge console lead, they don’t care.

Agree with others. Worst PS Plus Extra month ever.

This really needed a second story?

Don’t really get the complaint about the English dub. Seems fine to me. Much better than many JRPG dubs.

Haven’t had too much time to sink into it yet but it seems significantly harder than the demo to me. May have to be a wuss and turn the difficulty down!

I actually downloaded my PS Plus version about three hours ago.

Interesting to hear that the English dub is that bad. Seemed okay on the demo but guess that was just a small slice.

Was a bit worried this may be the case when it looked nice and was an EA game for only $19.99. Something was missing. Apparently a lot was missing to make it a good game. Oh well, I’ll give it a try on Plus at least.

The PC version has by far the greatest number of reviews and it currently is a 76 on Metacritic. I think if you added in Xbox and PS5 it would still be around a 75 (would normally look at OpenCritic for exactly this reason but they haven’t added many reviews yet).

That’s not too bad. Still looking forward to it!

The three day one games and Miasma make this a better month than usual for me.

Know how highly rated the last two games were but I’m a bit worn out of the mopey Dad-Kid thing.

I’d LOVE to see a return to the old GoW format. But probably won’t happen.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Unicorn Overlord still neck and neck for me.

I’d much rather play a 30 FPS Dragon’s Dogma 2 than a 60 FPS Lord of the Rings: Gollum. Just sayin’ 😀

Seriously though, while I’m not saying I wouldn’t love 60 FOS in DD2, I’m still having a blast with the game and am not even thinking about the framerate.

Series X, 120hz and VRR on my LG CX helping to keep it smooth most of the time.

Love the game. Bring it on!

Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Unicorn Overlord are my frontrunners right now for GoTY. Both fantastic games.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is absolutely fantastic and the framerate has not bothered me (at least on Series X and VRR). It’s a GoTY candidate and I feel sorry for those ignoring it just because of the frame rate.

Yeah, the demo did absolutely nothing for me. Bored me to tears. But maybe the full game pulls things together better.

If the game got an ESRB rating, it’s got to be close to release with a final build submitted for a rating, right?

Absolutely love this. What other game can you hang on the back of a flying griffin, continuing to attack it while your pawns fight from the ground? The combat is glorious - the best and most immersive fantasy experience I’ve found in gaming. This and Unicorn Overlord are my GoTY candidates so far and DD2 is inching towards pulling away with it.

They’ve had a whole year to search for a replacement knowing he would be leaving. What have they been doing?

Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Unicorn Overlord (still both my GoTY early picks) - Xbox Series X
Stellar Blade demo - PS5
Pepper Grinder - Switch

10 from me so far. This and Dragon’s Dogma 2 are neck and neck for early GoTY consideration. But this is one of the best strategic based RPGs I’ve ever played. So addicting to say “just one more stage” and find yourself still playing hours later.

You lost me at hero shooter.

I’ll pick it up when it’s dirt cheap one day. Going to take quite a while to get through Unicorn Overlord and Dragon’s Dogma 2 anyway.

The fuss about the micro transactions is overblown. Nothing to get that upset about and easily ignored.

Having an absolute blast with this!

Kind of glad this is getting mediocre reviews so I can hold off on this while I plug away at both Unicorn Overlord and Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Got an early copy of this on Series X and am absolutely loving it. With VRR, I’m not noticing the framerate dips at all. Very smooth.

Played it on my Series X. Great game!

I’m don’t know. If puzzles are the main draw of a game over combat and being scary, it fails as a horror game to me and that’s disappointing.

Need for Speed Heat, a 5-year-old racing game, is in the top 10?!? Guessing there must have been a deep sale on it on the European store.

Can we take a moment from the bickering and come together to praise the sub header. Great job!

Honestly have been playing this on my Series X and haven’t had many issues with servers and few bugs. I’d give it a 6/10 or even 7/10 but maybe I’ve just caught it during good hours.

Played it on Xbox and it is fantastic. Loved every minute of it and it deserves this score and the praise it gets IMO.

@3Above There’s so much strategy involved in creating squads, upgrading them, figuring out what skills they should priority (and that’s incredibly deep down to what type of unit, health and more), when to deploy them, watching your AP points, etc., etc.

It’s a very deep game and it’s also better to think of it as an RTS mixed with JRPG. Anyway, I wasn’t sure about that either but those concerns went away fast as I realized how much more there is to the game.

If you play the demo, you’ll understand and it puts its hooks into you (or at least that’s what happened to me).

Sad to see few people playing Unicorn Overlord. It’s fantastic and my early GoTY. Bloody brilliant!

@ChrisDeku I mean read the article I posted with that comment. It’s just from last month. If it’s wrong the The Verge and those they talked to are also wrong.

@Netret0120 Japan is actually one exception to that rule and more physical than digital is sold there.

@CaptD Well, NBA 2K24 was also just added to GamePass.

Midnight Suns is the highlight but I’ve had it forever so not much to see here for me at least.

Glad to see Unicorn Overlord charting. Such a fantastic game. My early GoTY at this point.
