Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

It's a weird one, I kind of enjoyed the Ms Marvel game, whatever it was called, was it just called Marvel Avengers? And I quite liked the cinematic bits and when it felt like a single player game and all the stuff that wasn't live service and replaying missions. There just wasn't enough of it, and I think I managed to play the whole thing on the free trial they did as it stayed connected even after the trial ended 😅 But even so, that short experience was, at it's core, quite a good game in itself.

But considering how the general consensus was that it was pap, with the live service stuff and the hub to replay the same missions over and over, I'm surprised any other game decided to try it again.

But you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see that there is still space for Marvel and DC games that are, you know, fully one thing or another, not a squishy mess of lots of different things.

GotG should have got more love, as it did it 100% right. And I'm assuming Marvel rivals has done it right on the "just a live service game" front, but that isn't my cup of tea, so i'll just trust the numbers, for now.

Insomniac aren't doing bad for themselves, either, even though my own relationship with the Spidey games are a bit love/hate.

The craziest thing of all though is that Rocksteady had done their thing extremely right multiple times before all of the rest 😭 It must have been a real nightmare to be fighting to make a proper game with WB insisting on making two or three types of games in one.

Pretty much exactly the same thing happened with Sony and a lot of their teams this gen. The allure of those Fortinite-like bucks has really skewed the output this gen unfortunately.
