10/10 for this is patently ridiculous. Why is this gamesmaker glazed so? Doubly so when we place it into the context of The First Descendant getting 4/10 on this website.
@Hyena_socks the plot is just so turgid, the characters dull, the environments narrow funnels from mob to mob, and there’s almost no meaningful decision making
I fully anticipate reviews from the gaming and hardware media for the next series of NVIDA graphics cards to be 7/10 or lower given that each one is a very incremental upgrade.

Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (October 2025)
Arc and it’s not even close. Ghost is a retread of something we’ve seen a thousand times before.
Re: ARC Raiders (PS5) - A Triumph in Multiplayer Immersion
I struggle to imagine a world in which this isn’t GOTY
Re: More Wuchang PS5 Updates Detailed as Studio Commits to Support
@Gfoot I agree with your review; this is head and shoulders above Elden Ring
Re: Wuchang Tech Issues Acknowledged, First Patch Coming Soon
This is my personal GOTY. IGN’s 8/10 was a very fair review.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Death Stranding 2?
5/10 for me, defines overrated
Re: Death Stranding 2 (PS5) - A Masterpiece in Every Sense
10/10 for this is patently ridiculous. Why is this gamesmaker glazed so? Doubly so when we place it into the context of The First Descendant getting 4/10 on this website.
Re: Stellar Blade's PC Demo Peaks Higher Than Some Blockbuster Games, Runs Flawlessly
@ChrisDeku Black Myth Wukong is a bit crap though
Re: Stellar Blade's PC Demo Peaks Higher Than Some Blockbuster Games, Runs Flawlessly
The best game of the last decade
Re: Elden Ring Nightreign (PS5) - A Ruthless Roguelike Reinvention of the Lands Between
Removed
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give DOOM: The Dark Ages?
Who are these bots/freaks who would give this very definition of mid 10/10?
Re: Stellar Blade PS5, PC's NIKKE Minigame Looks Like Tremendous Fun
Can you upgrade the rating to 10/10 now
Re: Stellar Blade PC Appears Poised to Be a Humongous Hit
Shame on this website for rating the best game the PS5 has ever seen 8/10
Re: Persona 5's Most Controversial Spin-Off Could Be Announced for PS5 Soon
Could be the first gatcha to be a GOTY contender
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Oblivion Remastered?
Very poor. Play Expedition 33 instead.
Re: Opinion: If You're on the Fence, Consider Buying a PS5 Now Before the Prices Inevitably Rise
You’re a fool if you don’t buy now. The Pro is head and shoulders over the ancient base model.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for May 2025 Announced
Define overrated; Balatro
Re: Expedition 33's Sublime Success Sparks Chatter About Final Fantasy's Future
You used an image of Lightning and I got all excited this was a news story heralding her return
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?
GOTY hands down. Makes Indy look mid in comparison.
Re: Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land (PS5) - Relentlessly Charming JRPG Is a Must Play
@Damage99 demo is brilliant
Re: Yoshi-P No Longer Sits on Square Enix's Board of Directors
@tameshiyaku many mobile games, like Star Rail, have more depth than 16
Re: Returnal Inspired Anime Shooter Scar-Lead Salvation Will Get a Western PS5, PS4 Launch After All
@ChromaticDracula confirming this looks 10x better than Returnal
Re: Would You Pay $100 for GTA 6?
Considering Nintendo were charging $70 30 years ago I’d gladly pay $140
Re: Game of the Year: #1 - Astro Bot
Define overrated: this game
Re: Game of the Year: #2 - Metaphor: ReFantazio
This is a straight 7/10. There’s nothing special here except a lot of banal dialogue that says very little.
Re: Game of the Year: #4 - Stellar Blade
@RBMango my guy hated it so much he completed it twice
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Story Game of 2024
‘ but this 70+ hour journey is so very rich in plot’
It’s bloated. It’s sophomoric. And it’s definitely no Rebirth.
Re: Game of the Year: #5 - Balatro
@Mikey856 no, no it is not
Re: Game of the Year: #6 - Silent Hill 2
@Jrs1 and for that reason alone this has no business being a PlayStation game of the year
Re: Game of the Year: #7 - Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Ridiculous. Imagine thinking the 5-minute wonder that is Astro Bot is better.
Re: Game of the Year: #10 - Persona 3 Reload
@Athrum metaphor looks horrible and yet push will name it #1 or #2 of the year
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Art Direction of 2024
Metaphor looks horrible though, its engine is ancient.
Re: Game of the Year: #10 - Persona 3 Reload
Unlike Metaphor, it looks great in unreal 5
Re: Naughty Dog's New PS5 Game Is Finally Announced, Sci-Fi Action Title Intergalactic
Concord 2.0
The flops keep coming
Re: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Reportedly 'By Far' Machine Games' Biggest Undertaking
Imagine making a tomb raider-esque Indy game but in 1st person. What a disaster.
Re: Stellar Blade's Eve Will Attack You if You Act Inappropriately in New PS5 DLC
I wanted to hop back in but no new story content
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Sales Keep Pace with Dragon's Dogma 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth in UK
@Hyena_socks the plot is just so turgid, the characters dull, the environments narrow funnels from mob to mob, and there’s almost no meaningful decision making
Re: Round Up: PS5 Pro Reviews Love New Tech and Its Glimpse of PS6 Potential
@CWill97 mine shipped a few hours ago
Re: Round Up: PS5 Pro Reviews Love New Tech and Its Glimpse of PS6 Potential

Re: New World: Aeternum (PS5) - Full-Bodied Action MMO Will Devour Your Free Time
Just confirming that this is the best MMO currently available on Playstation, and can't wait to see how it hums on Pro next month.
Re: Try Ys X: Nordics' Fast-Paced Combat in PS5, PS4 Demo, Available Now
How long can they get away with using this ancient engine
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio (PS5) - Brilliant, Memorable RPG Is One of Atlus' Finest Works
@Magatsuhi the MC has all the personality of an NPC. 100 hours controlling this man? No thanks.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Metaphor: ReFantazio?
The graphics are horrendous though
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero?
why no review of the Diablo expansion?
Re: Throne and Liberty (PS5) - Beginner MMO Is Plagued with Technical Issues
@Nem can’t wait to see Pushsquare ding Ghost of Tsushima 2 for the exact same thing
Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio (PS5) - Brilliant, Memorable RPG Is One of Atlus' Finest Works
@Tsushima P3R looks so much better, not sure how that happened
Re: Throne and Liberty (PS5) - Beginner MMO Is Plagued with Technical Issues
Been loving it. This review is strongly reminiscent of the infamous 3/10 for TFD.
Re: Eve's Body Physics Get a Boost in Surprise Stellar Blade PS5 Patch
GOTY, and it’s not even close
Re: RPG Fans Rejoice! Metaphor: ReFantazio Demo Out Now on PS5, PS4
@PuppetMaster ignore the bad attempt at being a troll
Re: RPG Fans Rejoice! Metaphor: ReFantazio Demo Out Now PS5, PS4
@anoyonmus not the same, plays great on PS5
Re: RPG Fans Rejoice! Metaphor: ReFantazio Demo Heading to PS5, PS4
@jrt87 plays wonderfully on PS5
