Glad to hear it. Absolutely adorable this game. Biggest surprise this year for me. I was expecting a decent game I could play with my brother and ended up loving it.
I like what I've seen of this so far. I really enjoyed the recent Alone in the Dark despite the average reviews and this gives me the same kind of vibe.
Playing through Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten. Was hoping to get it finished by the time Black Myth: Wukong comes out, but I don't think that'll happen. Might also play a bit of Hunt: Showdown 1896 and 7 Days to Die - Console Edition with my brother and his girlfriend.
Maybe they'll add an in-game option to change the camera, like they did with the Jak games. Luckily I have a PSVita, so that'll be my preferred way to play this.
@ShogunRok @AaronBayne Thanks for the replies, guys. I think I'm going to give it a shot. I fancy playing another game that feels big budget after just finishing the FFXVI DLC.
@AaronBayne I'm guessing there are no difficulty settings? You mentioned that the game isn't as difficult as a Souls game, but how does the difficulty compare? Let's say that Elden Ring's difficulty is a 10, what would Black Myth be?
Pretty sure my brother still has this on his PS4. It's a shame they couldn't of just left it on the PlayStation Store... Well they could have, but you know, Konami.
The thing I don't understand is why is this game bashed so badly while Helldivers 2 is praised? They're both share the same business model. Fair enough if you don't like the actual gameplay, but most of the negativity I've seen is people saying they don't want an online only shooter.
I'm at work on my break, so currently playing Odin Sphere Leifthrasir on my PSVita. When I get home I'll be carrying on with Outriders, which I am really enjoying. I'm hopefully going to be playing 7 Days to Die - Console Edition in co-op later, too.
I'm going to have to wait and see more gameplay. If it's as hard as a Souls like then I'll probably end up giving it a miss, but if the difficulty is more forgiving then I'll definitely be picking it up.
Hope it's better than Black Desert. I loved the recent Throne and Liberty beta, so I decided to give it another go because I wanted to play something similar. It was mainly the UI that ruined it. It felt like it just wasn't made for consoles.
@Flaming_Kaiser I have to agree with @Soulless666. I've been playing for about 30 hours now and at no point have I spent any money on the game or felt pressured to do so.
I'm continuing my playthrough of Trails through Daybreak. I will also be playing the Throne and Liberty beta, which I'm really liking. I'll probably also play Odin Sphere Leifthrasir on my PSVita at work if I can be bothered.
@get2sammyb I dunno if this is too much effort or not, but I don't suppose you could start linking the games to their Push Square game pages (if they have one)? A lot of the times I'll think a game sounds interesting based on it's name and then I'll have to go on YouTube or whatever to look it up, which I admit isn't much hassle at all. I just thought it would be handy to click the link and be able to see screenshots and any news articles you've done on the game.
7/10. I like the short missions that I can jump into when I have a spare 15 minutes. I also really like how people share missions. It's such a good feeling when you're getting your ass kicked and another player randomly shows up and helps out.
I don't play Destiny, so I didn't even know they were similar. Maybe it's just me, but I don't necessarily think having similar icons is a bad thing. It's like how every FPS nowadays shares a control scheme. It means that someone can go from Destiny to The First Descendant and instantly understand what does what.

Re: Faaast Penguin Is Chaotic PS5 Multiplayer Fun from Japan
No PS4 version? That's a shame. My niece would love this.
Re: Preview: Broken Sword Is Back in the Most Passionate Remaster Possible
Does this include the newer content from the Director's Cut? I kinda hope not. I didn't really care for it.

Re: Unknown 9: Awakening's Release Date Now Known to Be October on PS5, PS4
I'm interested in this, but it doesn't stand a chance in October. So many other high profile games are releasing.
Re: Kong: Survivor Instinct Is the Most Unexpected PS5 Side-Scroller of the Year
Looks very similar to the game Deadlight.

Installed and ready to go. Releases at 3 AM on Tuesday. I work lates, so I'll be able to play it as soon as it's up and running.

Re: Eliminate Them All in Slitterhead's Official PS5, PS4 Story Trailer
Oooh, didn't realise this had a release date.
Re: Stone-Cold Classic Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars' PS5 Remaster Releases in September
Played through it many times, even the GBA version. Definitely playing through it again!
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Release Date Leaks, Arrives on PS5 for Halloween
Quite a lot of games out in October! I guess I can give buying things like food a miss that month.
Re: Rumour: Xbox to Announce a 'Big' Game Coming to PS5 at Gamescom
I know it wasn't exactly loved, but I really want to see Starfield come to PS5.
Re: 10 Years Ago, Hideo Kojima's P.T. Scared the Hell Out of Us on PS4

Re: Mini Review: The Mortuary Assistant (PS5) - Prep Bodies and Banish Demons in This Terrific Horror Title
It's a shame that the graphics aren't as good as the PC version.
Re: Unsurprisingly, the Borderlands Movie Has Completely Bombed
Was going to see it in the cinema, but now I think I'll just wait for it to hit Amazon Prime.
@UltimateOtaku91 I agree. Tales from the Borderlands is proof that a CGI movie could work.
Re: Dead Rising's PS5 Remaster Will Strip Bonus Points for Erotic Photos
I voted I don't really care. Tbh it's been so long since I've played the original that I probably wouldn't of even noticed they'd removed it.

Re: Best Borderlands Games
I enjoyed my playthrough of New Tales from the Borderlands. I found it consistently funny.
Re: The Smash Hit Vampire Survivors Finally Comes to PS5, PS4 Later This Month
I did wonder what all the fuss was about, but then I played it and found it to be super addictive.
Re: Black Myth: Wukong Builds the Hype with Stunning Final Trailer

Re: Mini Review: CYGNI: All Guns Blazing (PS5) - A Stunning, Short-Lived Shmup
My brother got a copy early and I was able to play it for a bit. I enjoyed what I played, even if I did suck at it!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 540
Most of my attention will be going to Valkyria Revolution. Hoping to maybe finish by Monday. I'll also be playing Aragami 2 co-op with my brother.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Tomba! Special Edition?
I tried it out and the gameplay didn't gel with me. I prefer Klonoa.
Re: Preview: Evidence Suggests Ace Attorney Investigations Collection Will Be a Good Time on PS4
Most probably a day one buy for me. I like to treat these games as side games, so I'll be playing it alongside Astro Bot.
Re: Tomba! Special Edition (PS5) - PS1 Oddity Remains a Fun, Fresh, and Unique Platformer
I managed to snag a free copy and didn't really like what I played. Might give it another shot later.
Re: Like a Dragon: Yakuza Show Won't Have Time for Karaoke, But Singing 'May Come Eventually'
Pfft, they could of had Kiryu sing a different song during the end credits of each episode.
Re: Infinity Nikki Is the Cutesy PS5, PS4 Fashion RPG You've Been Dreaming Of
I'm probably looking forward to this more than I should be!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 539
I'm hoping to finish Trails through Daybreak by tomorrow. Also having a blast with 7 Days to Die - Console Edition in co-op.
Re: Poll: Are You Sick of Soulslike Games?
Aww, is Black Myth: Wukong a Souls like? I was looking forward to that, but that kinda puts me off.
Re: Valorant Enters Open Beta on PS5, Up for Download Now
Started downloading it, but decided to cancel. I think I'm a little burnt out on these hero games.
Re: Dragon Quest Creator Says Silent Protagonists Look Like Idiots
I'm so used to certain characters being silent now that it would be weird if they spoke. Link and Gordon Freeman are the first to come to mind.
Re: Crimson Desert, That Stunning PS5 Open World RPG, Is Actually Playable at Gamescom
Hope it's better than Black Desert. I loved the recent Throne and Liberty beta, so I decided to give it another go because I wanted to play something similar. It was mainly the UI that ruined it. It felt like it just wasn't made for consoles.
Re: Gacha Spinoff Persona 5: The Phantom X Coming to Console, with More on the Way
I'll try it, but I wish they'd move on from Persona 5.
Re: The First Descendant (PS5) - A Mindless and Repetitive Grind
@Flaming_Kaiser I have to agree with @Soulless666. I've been playing for about 30 hours now and at no point have I spent any money on the game or felt pressured to do so.
Re: Capcom Wants to Make Mega Man Games on an 'Ongoing Basis'
They definitely need to do a remaster of the Mega Man Legends games. They still look surprisingly good today due to the art style.
They could just improve it by adding things like grass and increasing the draw distance. Add modern controls and I think it would be quite good.
Re: Become Fully Immersed with Persona 5 Royal's Official Line of Coffee, Hot Sauce
Atlus has been milking Persona 5 so much that they might as well use it for coffee!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 538
I'm continuing my playthrough of Trails through Daybreak. I will also be playing the Throne and Liberty beta, which I'm really liking. I'll probably also play Odin Sphere Leifthrasir on my PSVita at work if I can be bothered.
Re: Unknown 9: Awakening Steps Up with New Gameplay Walkthrough Trailer
Looks interesting. I think it'll be like Forspoken and Immortals of Aveum - It won't be anything groundbreaking, but I'll have a good time with it.
Re: Nobody Wants to Die (PS5) - Film Noir Meets Cyberpunk in This Stylish Detective Thriller
Definitely getting this at some point.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 537
@LikelySatan It is! My PS2 came with A LOT of games, so I'm spoilt for choice!
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Thoughts on the Concord PS5, PC Beta?
It's not terrible, but I just couldn't shake the feeling that I could just be playing Overwatch 2 instead.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 537
It's all about the PS2 for me this weekend!
Re: Ridiculously Exhausted Man Laboriously Drags Limp Body Towards PS5, PS4
