May be in future when it goes on sale or goes in PS+, like the previous ghost game.
I'm too busy with Hades 2 on Switch 2 now. I plan to play Silksong after it too. The indie scene this year is really giving the multimillion-dollar AAA games a run of its money.
The oversaturated color palettes that's competing with its exaggerated art style are giving me headaches.
It seems they are trying hard to copy and blend ALL popular elements in games, from the P5 to GTA, in a single game. I like gacha games at times but not this one.
@MrPeanutbutterz "I guess part of me had the thought of what if one of my non-gaming siblings/friends saw me playing this? "
What do you think we women are?
We are humans too and we like beautiful people and fun video games. I really don't get this attitude of infantilization of almost half of the population. Only true misogynists hate beautiful women.
@JJtheTexan I have the game on Switch too, beside on PS, and I gotten admit that it really looks pretty decent, especially in handheld mode. I'd only feel it's bad when I play it side-by-side with the console and no one plays like that.
I can't remember the last time that I've played a RPG in which I like and feel for EVERY single character. This is how masterful they are at character and world building, besides a bunch of other elements in game.
It truly deserves the attention and success.
@Angelus3K You'll love the change of tone and play style. Rebirth is one of my favorite RPGs too.
They freaking deserve it. Every aspect of this game is top notch. I'm so happy to see them being successful and getting all the attention.
@Titntin you can turn off the QTE in settings.
The minimap seems like an intentional design choice though so players are just as lost as the characters in that world.
P.S. The game is challenging by today's standards. Don't be afraid to just start on story mode and turn off the QTE until you are familiar with the system.

Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?
The only thing that poses a threat to PS is PS itself and how SE runs the business.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 'Will Be Loved by Everyone', Says Director
Take out the excessive mini games and Rebirth will be loved by most people too. It's my only gripe.
Re: Talking Point: PS6 In 2027 - How Do You Feel About Sony's Next-Gen Console?
@RenanKJ So true. Their 1st party studio made so many fun and unique games back then that made getting the console worth it.
Otherwise, why not just stick to PC and Switch 2.
Re: Talking Point: PS6 In 2027 - How Do You Feel About Sony's Next-Gen Console?
Games. Games. Games are the most important.
Didn't Nintendo have proven this point time after time that further discussion or question is moot.

Re: 'Sony Seeks an Impermissible Monopoly on Genre Conventions': Tencent Fires Back Over Horizon Rip-Off
A Chinese company copying is as natural as water being wet. 😂
Still, this sheer level of shamelessness is still eye opening.
Re: Clair Obscur Will Become a Franchise, Expedition 33 the First Game
I want to see a game, or at least a DLC, about Chadpedition 60.

Re: Highly Rated Square Enix RPG Triangle Strategy Out Now on PS5
@Kraven Yep, sums this one up perfectly. I have it on Switch and it's great.
@mariomaster96 It works on Switch 2 just like on Switch 1. Though I do wish there's a patch to take advantage of the higher res.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for August 2025?
Unicorn Overlord, Ryza 3, Spiderman and Sword of the Sea are all amazing games.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for August 2025 Announced
Lies of P! It seems like I should re-sub soon
Re: Stellar Blade Dev Massively Upgrades 3D Scanning Tech Ahead of Sequel
I can't wait!
This is the type of studios that will produce amazing games - their efforts are all put into how to improve their game.

Re: Sony's Huge Days of Play Sale on PS5 Consoles, Games, PS Plus Subs Starts Next Week
@Trauma_Team_Medic Similar situation. My Extra is running out in June and I don' think I'd even resub Extra.
If it's not for online play, I won't even subscribe at all.
Re: Elden Ring Will Get Its A24 Movie Adaptation, with Alex Garland in the Director's Seat
@Rich33 LOLLLL!
Re: Elden Ring Will Get Its A24 Movie Adaptation, with Alex Garland in the Director's Seat
He's one of my favorite directors! I'm hopeful now.
Re: Stellar Blade PS5, PC's NIKKE Minigame Looks Like Tremendous Fun
This game just keeps giving and only cares about whether the players are having fun.
10/10 game and studio.
Re: Like It or Loathe It, This Is Why Sony Won't Stop Trying to Make Live Service Games for PS5
The problem is they are sacrificing their own identity to chase the GAS dream.
No one's gonna buy a console just to pay for MTX. People buy consoles cuz of the solid console games.
Re: Capcom Is Unstoppable, Confirms Eighth Consecutive Year of Record Financial Results
@ChrisDeku It goes to show how powerful it is just to create games that people love to play.
Gamers are pretty easy to please; on the contrary of what many modern gaming "journalists" claimed.
Re: Stellar Blade Director Gets Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Platinum Trophy, Says It's Game of the Year
This is how you know which studio will make great games; the developers and bosses love playing games themselves.
Some terrible games really make one wonder if the devs have ever played their own game, let alone envisioning a good game.
Re: Poll: Are You Hyped for GTA 6 After Trailer 2?
Was it me or the main characters look like Chris Williamson and Monica Raymund?

I can't remember the last time that I've played a RPG in which I like and feel for EVERY single character. This is how masterful they are at character and world building, besides a bunch of other elements in game.
It truly deserves the attention and success.
@Angelus3K You'll love the change of tone and play style. Rebirth is one of my favorite RPGs too.
Re: The Witcher 3 Turns 10 This Month, CD Projekt Red Wants to 'Celebrate Together'
It's crazy that this games looks like it's made NOW despite being a decade old.
@Unlucky13 Thank goodness, there's BG3 and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 for me. But ya, I get what you mean.
Re: Expedition 33's Sublime Success Sparks Chatter About Final Fantasy's Future
I really don't care as long as the game is fun to play.
I don't play a game just because it's turn-based or action, I play them because they are fun.
Re: Expedition 33's Outstanding Critical Reception Receives Recognition from French President
@GeeEssEff I read that the lack of mini map is a design choice of the devs since the team doesn't have a map either.
It needs some getting used to but it's not that bad since each area is not that big.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for May 2025 Announced
I just bought Balatro on my phone. No regrets though in supporting good games.
Re: PS5 RPG Expedition 33 Has Some of the Highest User Ratings Ever
@Decimateh-xblz Same. I don't have Xbox but I knew this game is special the moment I saw their first trailer.
Just didn't expect that they even surpassed my expectations by far. I'm so happy for them.

Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Doubles Its Sales, Now Sold 1 Million Units
@Damage99 The game is challenging by today's standards so don't hesitate to play the story mode until you are more familiar with the system.
Re: Latest PS5 Firmware Update Available Starting Today, Brings Back Classic Console Themes
I love the boosting voices setting.
There are so many times that the voices are still too soft even after I set it to the max and lowered everything else in the in-game settings.
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (PS5) - Daring, Quirky RPG Is an Absolute Must-Play
Haven't been this excited for an RPG since BG3!
It caught my attention with the first trailer. I'm so happy to hear that the game turns out amazing
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5?
@NicolausCamp Aww thanks for the info. It piqued my interest and I'm gonna look more into the game.
Re: Galaxies Is Yet Another Gaming Showcase, Featuring 50+ Announcements and Updates
@Oram77 Same! I've pre-ordered and don't want to see more so I can go in knowing as little as possible.
Re: Stellar Blade Director Is Now One of the Richest People in Korea
He respected his players enough to deliver what they want instead of coming from a place of superiority to lecture.
He's rewarded accordingly. Good for him!
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5?
Waiting for it to come out on PS Extra.
It looks good but doesn't seem to stand out that much from the Uncharted series. (I know Uncharted is inspired by Indie)
Re: Opinion: Baldur's Gate 3 Was Already a 10/10, But Updates Have Made It an All-Time Masterpiece
@CWill97 Take it slow and use quick save. Once you got through the learning curve, it's 1 of the most rewarding games out there.
Re: Bungie's New PS5 Shooter Marathon Grabs September Release Date
Not my type of game but this seems different and interesting enough to at least stand out.
Re: PS5's Zenless Zone Zero Adds a Parasol Wielding Waifu, Here's the Latest Redemption Code
@Enuo Wait for the announcement, or at least leaks, about the element of Yixuan before pulling Jane. She may be physical too.
Re: PS5 Favourite Astro Bot Earns 5 More Awards, Including GOTY
I'm playing the game again to complete some levels. The game is such a joy to play
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 575
MH WILDS of course!
And may be Civ7 since there has been quite a few updates.
Re: Almost All PS5 Fans Are Against $80 Games
$80 or $100, it doesn't matter if the game is good.
What I'm really against is an unfinished bland bland with all MTX but it's still selling at $80.
Re: Poll: Are You Still Playing Monster Hunter Wilds?
I'm enjoying the game slowly so only HR90.
This game never fails to give me the rush of excitement and satisfaction when I got home and jump into a fight.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Confirms Improvements Coming to Performance, QoL, and Weapon Balance
I'm surprised by the first free update being so substantial. Can't wait for it already.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Smashes Capcom Record with 10 Million Units Sold
Absolutely well deserved! It's my favorite MH game in the series though I didn't get the game until Rise.
Looking forward to future updates and DLCs. The first free one is already looking massive.
Re: Genshin Impact Community in Flames as English Cast Turn on New Voice Actor
I don't get the bullying.
Sure, someone wants to protest by not doing the job but they also want to bully others for taking the job? What kind of tyranny is this?
Re: Intergalactic PS5 Is Playable Internally and Incredible, According to Naughty Dog
Concord was also incredible during the internal play test. So much so that they thought it's gonna be the mascot game of PS5. LOL!
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Assassin's Creed Shadows and Bleach: Rebirth of Souls Struggle on PS5
It's crazy how Switch is still the best selling console.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds' Huge Title Update 1 Detailed, Here's Everything You Need to Know
Such a huge update just a month after the release. I really love the devs of MH Wilds.
