Yooka Laylee 2 — outstanding game!

@Styledvinny79 Frame rate and load times are absolutely selling points for a game in today's world. And that's an objective fact. Is Sony cashing in on that? Maybe. But that doesn't meant it's not worth it — especially for $10, which is like a couple cups of coffee at Starbucks. I mean, Naughty Dog did do some work to improve it.

@Ashina Apple is actually bigger/richer than Microsoft, amazingly.

And I don’t think PlayStation can compete in the area of acquisitions, although I hope they can do something substantial. The best thing they can do at this point is continue making exclusive games that are absolute must-buys. Also, Sony has to get complete backward compatibility of all their games from all generations working ASAP.

@Daleaf Pretty sure it will be Gane Pass only, particularly given MS’ previous behavior.

I'd say 15-25, but that's not an option, so I picked 20-30. Some games definitely overstay their welcome past 12-15 hours though. That said, a fair number of games I've put in 60+ hours — especially FromSoftware games.

I still really want to buy into this again, but unless I can be sure that my severe motion sickness would not get triggered, I can’t imagine investing an even larger sum than I did with PS VR. Seems like it would be quite a gamble.

Thanks for spoiling key plot points in your review… smh.

@Palleon While that may help many with milder forms, true motion sickness has to do with your brain recognizing you are not actually moving, while your eyes are telling you otherwise. There would have to be some way to stimulate your inner ear directly (pretty much impossible currently) or possibly through haptic technology applied to your skull to simulate physical movement. So probably you should stop giving snarky arrogant responses when you know nothing about true motion sickness.

Sammy, this article is incomplete without any discussion of motion sickness. I cannot play in VR for more than five minutes without getting quite ill — sometimes it’s less than 30 seconds. While I have always been prone to motion sickness, a friend of mine — who never suffered from it before — has had the same motion issues in VR as I did. So, as others have stated, unless Sony has found a way to curb motion sickness substantially, I cannot invest in such a technology again.

And this is someone who has been wishing for VR for like 30 years.

Does it have a “better game” option?

@nomither6 I can totally see that, sure. It's so different, it could have been a new IP.

@Akurusu Oh yeah, I totally agree with you. I think we should all try to be more objective here.

@Akurusu I love Sony and really liked GoW, but yeah you have to give this award to a Nintendo game, I agree.

@nomither6 I have to be honest, I tried GoW1 Remastered and did not like it.

So much wrong with this. GoW was really good, but there are probably 15 better games competing in the IGN tournament alone, and there are many other games not in the tournament that are better.

To me, the graphics/animations alone warrant an 8, especially given this was done by an indie studio on their first game.

I guess this is what you get for not buying a PS5 from a reseller and playing it on there.

"At it's best on the court" sounds like "the game is not that good, you should be playing on the actual court".

I'm between "good" and "very good". The ending was amazing. Wolverine?!! C'mon, incredible. Spidey 2 looked epic. GoW 2 as well. GT7, okay sure. KOTOR seems like a maybe (never really was into the original). And I'll probably play Forspoken.

However, the remainder (and the large portion) of the show was a total dud.

@Dezzy70 Enjoy!

@Dezzy70 You're better off. I have all LG OLED TVs. The Sony A80J I just recently purchased (my wife liked the fact that it had the Rakuten Viki app and therefore didn't require the use of a Roku or Fire Stick) I had to return because of massive lag in Game Mode. I just grabbed another C1 and couldn't be happier.

@Amppari Is that you, Jim? lol

@AdamNovice @Amppari It's obvious he didn't just get burnt out and "want a break". Why would he wait two years to let people know why he left, ignoring question after question about it all this time? Why would Sony usher him out the door and never post a thank you or an explanation for Layden's moving on? It's more than obvious he either lost his support at Sony and/or was not happy with some of the people he was working with and/or was forced out.

Honestly though, how could anyone have their sights set on anything different? There's way too many games out there to count on any of them being released on PS Plus.

Was really excited until around the ten minute mark, when it started stating its anti-Ten Commandments. Not really into supporting blasphemy. Oh, well... plenty of other games to play.

@Jaz007 Exactly. And to me, if it's not legit, Sony doesn't allow ANY of this stuff from a studio making a PS5 exclusive.

@Janeo99 If it's weird and atypical, it's his style.

I think it's hysterical how people here at Push Square still think it's NOT Kojima and/or Playstation teasing MGS and/or Silent Hill, despite it being so obvious.

@NEStalgia Worth every penny.

@Bentleyma- I haven't, but I did see the review here and I took a look at some video. It looks fine but nothing really to pique my interest.

I think the PS5's features are great, but ultimately they aren't going to push me to invest my time into a mediocre game like Plague Tale, at least not when I have a very large backlog of better games to play.

@BloodNinja Okay. Was just trying to help.

I think this looks incredible, including the gameplay. Visuals look just as good to me.

Looking more interesting.

@BloodNinja I got through almost the whole game without blocking and parrying (there are a couple spots you have to). People said it was impossible, but I got tendonitis fairly early on hitting L1 to parry so much, so I had to change. Once I found own style (basically playing the combat closer to Souls but with more running and dodging), I took off with it. It's an amazing game, and I love all the Souls games, too (I go all the way back to King's Field, in fact). Sorry it didn't click for you, but maybe you could try an adjustment, too.

@Judal27 Love the Octopath look; it has made turn based games interesting to me again.

@Matroska I think it's quite a difference. I personally didn't love how XI looked (or played, really).

@BoldAndBrash Couldn't disagree more. Sully is one of the more shallow characters ever, and Wahlberg absolutely has the right disposition and innate cynicism for the part. Tom Holland's casting is the odd choice.

The voice acting is hysterically bad.

I’m just glad there was no mention of things being gray when they are actually black.

@Akurusu Yeah, we're not playing the same game.

@Akurusu I think you don’t understand the definition of walking simulator.

@Ssimsim No one. But some one would’ve.

I cannot use the original iteration at all, secondary to motion sickness. If this can help with that, I am all in again on PSVR!

@get2sammyb What gray? The controller is white and black...

@fluggy Honestly IMO it doesn’t get tons better. Play PS1 Destruction Derby instead.

Played it on PS4 and was decidedly unimpressed but will give it another shot on PS5.

Weird poll. Options 3 and 4 are the same thing...

This game has many of the same exact animations and commentary from 10-15 years ago. I'm starting to get really annoyed with the lazy developer approach and Sony's tolerance of it. At least there finally is a stadium creator (which they should have made a decade ago). I'm so glad I got this on Game Pass and didn't spend any money on it.

Plus, Super Mega Baseball is more fun.
