Still need to play Ragnarok.. The original God of War reboot was absolutely fantastic, not sure how I haven’t played the sequel yet… But I’ll play whatever they put out!
They’ve pretty much blown it on the TV adaptation of Last of Us Part II, in my opinion, so yeah get back to the games Druckman. High expectations for Heretic Prophet—it looks amazing!
My top two are Silent Hill F and Death Stranding 2, which are currently tied for second place at 8%! Yotei, of course, is the winner. I’m also super pumped for Cronos, and Nina Gaiden: Ragebound looks awesome. Honorable mention for Hell is Us, Shinobi, MG Delta, Daemon X Machina… Good lord, SO MANY AMAZING GAMES COMING!
Nearing the end of Act II (I think)—can’t get enough! Glad to see continued fixes, although my play through has had next to no issues. My only problem has been the terrible shimmering from hair shadows during cutscenes—so immersion-breaking; hopefully they can fix this down the road… Amazing game!
Mortal Shell was fantastic! Loved the ‘hardening’ mechanic, collecting and switching shells, and getting knocked out of your shell as a final hail mary; game felt super inventive and was a lot of fun to play. World was weird as well, with great art direction. This is an awesome surprise! Really good trailer too!
Cool, but nah, no thanks. I play these games to take my time, explore, and strategize. Solo help or not, this is just not for me. But we know that their are plenty of folks out there enjoying this game—the From multiplayer heads are probably living their best lives right now!
Such a brilliant game, hope they can work it out. I finished it on my vanilla PS5 right before I got the Pro, but will absolutely replay on my Pro once they patch it.
Not surprised that this has performance issues, Elden Ring was disappointing in that regard as well. Love From, and looking forward to whatever single player experience they release next, hopefully on a new engine.
The choice to not switch to Abby’s story sooner was a horrible one. The aquarium scene was robbed of every ounce of emotional impact, because… who are these people again? Just one example, but feels this way across the board. Part 2 is, in my opinion, a masterpiece of a game, which frankly deserves better, especially given the divisive response it received when it came out. They really sh*t the bed with this retelling.
Garland can do it! His film career certainly isn’t perfect, but he’s made some great stuff, and I trust that he can do something interesting. Hopefully they let him get real arty and weird! Absolutely wild though, that we’re living in a world where a FromSoftware game is being made into a feature film… 🫨
Absolutely loved Stellar Blade! Hoping for a greatly expanded combat system next time around; different weapon options and multiple skill trees would be awesome!
Too many amazing action games these days to waste time on a “generic… bland… uninspired” game. Amazing combat is great, but if what you’re fighting for and against sucks, then ‘’meh”. Maybe on a deep sale…
Never played this. I really enjoyed 11 though; the towers mode kept me coming back. I’ve been a lifelong MK fan, so I’ll probably pick this up in a year when it’s a whole lot cheaper.
Sounds like people love X. Somehow I missed that one… Gotta jump on those sales!
Yeah not feeling it. The pacing is all off and the whole thing is really falling apart, plot wise; beginning to feel like a pretty poor adaptation. Especially disappointed with the Serephite scene; over all too quickly, especially given the title of the episode. Meh.
OVERdesigned? Nah, could actually use a bit more, I would say. It’s nice; I like the drawbridge logo and the details on the side. That said, I’ll likely pass…
@Stamp_Monkey I would encourage you to try again! Perfecting parries and dodges against challenging mini bosses and going for a perfect (or almost perfect) fight has helped me win in moments where my team couldn’t have survived otherwise, and has been one of the great joys of my time with the game so far. Of course, if your enjoyment of the game suffers, then just turn them off and live your best life and have fun with it!

Re: Ninja Gaiden Ragebound Looks Ridiculously Good in This PS5, PS4 Gameplay
@get2sammyb Isn’t this from the Blasphemous developer? The new Shinobi is from Dotemu (Lizard Cube), right? Or am I having a brain fart…
Edit: Dotemu is in fact the publisher, but Game Kitchen is the developer

@willi3su “forward-thinking mechanics” but also “clunky gameplay”… a confusing pairing of critiques…

@get2sammyb Makes sense—thanks for the response!
Re: Preview: Don't Sleep on Capcom's Pragmata, the Most Inventive PS5 Shooter in Years
Combat sounds pretty unique and engaging!
@get2sammyb I’m curious, why didn’t you get on with the story in the demo you played? Or is it just the premise in general?
Re: PS5 Horror Cronos: The New Dawn Is Dead Space in All But Name
Combat looks good. I am hoping they really wow us with the art direction; high expectations after Silent Hill 2! Always ready to support the Bloobs!

Looks decent. Terrible name!
Re: There's Some Devil May Cry DNA in Anime Action RPG Sequel Code Vein 2
Fell of Code Vein pretty quick, but there was a lot releasing around that time, if I’m remembering correctly. This looks decent enough!
Re: Standalone Sequel Mortal Shell 2 Brings Adrenaline Charged Combat to PS5
Mortal Shell was fantastic! Loved the ‘hardening’ mechanic, collecting and switching shells, and getting knocked out of your shell as a final hail mary; game felt super inventive and was a lot of fun to play. World was weird as well, with great art direction. This is an awesome surprise! Really good trailer too!

Re: TV Show Review: The Last Of Us (HBO) Season 2 Episode 7 - Great Game Makes for Okay TV
The choice to not switch to Abby’s story sooner was a horrible one. The aquarium scene was robbed of every ounce of emotional impact, because… who are these people again?

Part 2 is, in my opinion, a masterpiece of a game, which frankly deserves better, especially given the divisive response it received when it came out. They really sh*t the bed with this retelling.
Re: Rumour: A BioShock Announcement Is Inbound, and It's a Return to Rapture

Re: After Pre-Launch Sellout, Expedition 33 Offers Collector's Edition Content Standalone
So tempting… But do I REALLY need all this stuff…
Re: Elden Ring Will Get Its A24 Movie Adaptation, with Alex Garland in the Director's Seat
Garland can do it! His film career certainly isn’t perfect, but he’s made some great stuff, and I trust that he can do something interesting. Hopefully they let him get real arty and weird! Absolutely wild though, that we’re living in a world where a FromSoftware game is being made into a feature film… 🫨

Re: Blades of Fire (PS5) - Steely Action with Blunt Art and Storytelling

Re: TV Show Review: The Last of Us (HBO) Season 2 Episode 5 - A Chilling Callback to the Games
