If I didn’t have to pay for stupid PS Plus I would absolutely get this game. Enjoyed the server slam, and could tell there was something special there if you dug in and got good. Such a bummer we have to pay to play online…

@Gaia093 So delicious, thanks for asking. How’s the bandwagon feeling so far, smooth ride?

I don’t get all the backlash—this looks like a generational leap, in terms of moving video games forward as an artistic medium with more realistic human features, which will help developers and storytellers create more compelling characters and stories. People just looking for stuff to get mad about…

I don’t understand the hate…? Looks impressive to me…

Looks like they’re rolling it out over the course of the day (NA). Hopefully we can all give it a go by the end of the day!

Going to be a long, arduous wait for this one, but you know it’ll be worth it!

Delay physical, ship more complete games.

Strong disagree here, them things is hideous. Now a 30th anniversary Pro cover? That I would buy!

After buying the game at launch to support the developer, I am finally getting a chance to play it, and about halfway through. It was a little slow to start, especially since the game does have some of that low-budget jank to it, but honestly, I am really enjoying it. It is a very creative, weird game with fun combat, an interesting premise, and best of all somehow scratches that Killer7 itch that has been left completely unscratched since that game came out many years ago—must be the combination of horror-violence, humor, and psychedelic visuals. Excited to hear that Bokeh is keeping the band together, and can’t wait to see what they come up with next!

@Colour Alan Wake 2 is an absolutely incredible experience, no joke.

The Silent Hill 2 remake is just incredible. I’ve played all these games, and man, the remake still hit me so hard. Tragic, disturbing, and weirdly beautiful. Can’t wait to play Bloober’s remake of 1.

@Pigrotto Dark Ages is a lot of fun. The movement and combat feels fantastic, very weighty. I was not a fan of Eternal at all, so Dark Ages is exactly what I was hoping for.

@Pigrotto Hell is Us is phenomenal. I really hope we get some sort of a sequel, even if it’s only a spiritual successor. Amazing story, art design, music, combat, monsters, just the whole package.

Finished Hell is Us a few weeks ago. Now it’s the backlog for me: DOOM: Dark Ages and Slitterhead. Mix that up with some Kirby Air Riders. Trying to wait on Requiem and save some money, but it is proving challenging… 😬

If this game had been a single player campaign, with an extraction multiplayer mode, I feel like they would have had a massive hit on their hands. I love the art style and the dark sci-fi lore is definitely intriguing. Game feels good to play as well. But man, I just have no interest in playing with a bunch of people online and getting smoked in a multiplayer mode over and over again against people that play the game for six hours a day…

This is the game I am looking most forward to this year. Looks incredible! Remedy is on fire 🔥

Awesome, always been interested in this game but never bought it cuz online; will definitely pick up the offline edition.

Madness! Physical games forever!

I bought the new Doom game for $24 and that is the most I’ve spent on a digital game in absolute ages, and only because their physical didn’t even have the damn game on the disc…

Fresh take, yes please

The fact that I don’t need PS Plus to try this out is an instant, “yep, I’ll be trying this out”. Smart move. Online shooters are definitely not my thing, but Marathon looks pretty cool, so giving it a shot!

Sounds like a repeat of the too much action style of RE. It’s a wait for sale, then.

There goes our Bloodborne remake…
FIRE HERMAN HULST

All amazing inspirations—these folks know their stuff!

Cronos was fantastic; the atmosphere, the combat, the art direction. Winner! Less excited for this, though… I still need to play the original games, but the walking sim horror stuff just doesn’t interest me as much…

My game of the show here, Resonant looks absolutely incredible.

I loved Returnal, but I’m having a hard time getting excited about Saros. It just looks like more of the same, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but…

Very excited for this! I think the first-person perspective will be a nice change of pace; some great opportunities for scares, for sure. Nice to see a fresh protagonist, and the monster design seems correct. Definitely more in line with traditional Silent Hill, too (although I absolutely loved SHf). Pumped! Great show!

Control Resonant gameplay stole the show. Absolutely. Cannot. Wait.

Definitely will be watching this. I adored Silent Hill f, and, of course, the Silent Hill 2 remake did the original horror masterpiece proud. Konami has my attention.

Love Suda, and this game just looks like bonkers fun (mostly). But serious performance problems means it’s a deep sale for me.

Great overview, definitely sold me on the combat/build potential. Still not 100% sold on the game as a whole, though; looks a little too generic for my taste. Curious to read reviews when it comes out.

Was debating grabbing this, but hearing about frame rate issues means it’s a definitive “wait for a sale”. Super disappointing, and actually pretty shocking given the need for precision, and Team Ninja’s track record…

Wrap it up! Season 2 was mostly just disappointing

I would love an OLED portal. I play a lot of dark (literally) games, and the way blacks get washed out into grays makes it both hard to read whats going on and also look kind of rough. I have this same problem on the Switch 2, which is why I avoid playing dark games in handheld. So I would definitely jump on an OLED Portal, and just sell my old one (which is in great shape).

Sounds amazing, let it cook!

@dodgykebaab Clearly you have no clue what’s happening in the world. Too much gaming news?

I don’t feel at all excited about the Leon stuff, actually really disappointed to hear that it leans so heavily into the big-budget action movie nonsense. Bummer…

Yeah, I wonder also if they’re delaying until the US has another election, and the global financial situation changes. Assuming human civilization still exists by then…

Counterpoint: I’ve had great experiences with TCL TV’s, which have been affordable and issue-free. Maybe I’m an outlier? Bought one years ago that we still use, got one for a family member which they still use, and was hand-me-downed a QLED one which looks phenomenal. I’ve since moved on to a LG OLED, but these TV’s all work great. So… not the end of the world?

Trailer makes the game look promising. Love a good timeline-twisting sci-fi tale!

Great trailer. I’d be all over this if it wasn’t a multiplayer game..

My PS5 resolution for 2026? Stop buying new games and play my damn backlog…

Had to vote Neobards. Silent Hill f is my game of the year (on PS5 at least), and I really appreciate what the studio accomplished. A lot was riding on this game too, for them and the franchise, and I think they knocked it out of the park by taking Silent Hill in a unique and exciting direction. Shout out to Kojima too!

Happy to see Silent Hill f make it on the list. In a year of amazing games, it is my personal Game of the Year. Wrapping up my second play through; just can’t put it down!

@undeadly Gotta jump in to balance the negativity for Silent Hill f. I’ve been a fan of this series since the original came out, and I absolutely love SHf. It’s a fresh, unique take, and doesn’t rehash the same thing we’ve already seen. The story hits hard on an emotional level, and twists the series to fit Japanese culture and mythology. It’s challenging, grotesque, and beautifully written. So, to summarize, folks are certainly entitled to their negative opinions, but positive take, Silent Hill f is amazing.

Clair Obscur, definitely. Death Stranding 2, for sure. But for me, Silent Hill f is the winner. The art direction is just phenomenal; creepy, beautiful, creative, and celebratory of Japanese myth and culture. Amazing game, amazing art direction.

Living up to their name… I absolutely love the games that Naughty Dog make, but this is a bummer to hear…

@Brundleflies21 This is a very good point!

Something about this game feels off. I’m somewhere between the hardcore and casual crowd; played all the fighting games back in the day, but have fallen off in the last decade or so, with GG Strive and Mortal Kombat being the exceptions. Tried the second beta, and just wasn’t having fun. Should have stuck with it longer, but time is limited and I wasn’t feeling it. It’s somehow simultaneously too simple but also too overwhelming; really didn’t like the controls. Meh.

@Apollo2212 Melee and gunplay, ala Alan & Saga… This would be a smart move!

@JuiceboxMeister Yes you do! Alan Wake is a flawed, but still really cool experience. Alan Wake 2, however, is utterly incredible. And with lots of ties to Control! If you buy the physical of Wake 2 you get both games, and it’s much cheaper now. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

WOW! What a trailer! This just hit my #1 most wanted game of 2026. Control is an absolute masterpiece, and this looks… like everything I’d want for a sequel. Same amazing sci-fi world, but switch up the character/combat completely. SOLD. ADD TO CART!
