My lady bought this for me bc she knows im nice with my hands. Also, i really don't mind the campaign being short bc it is a GOOD workout. This is a lot of fun and more "ARCADEY" than I expected.
EDIT: No one on the internet is covering PSVR2 like PUSHSQUARE. Thanks again 👍
Its a retro system for sure. Its slow, clunky, and has miserable performance that was barely acceptable even back then. As far as games go, there's a reason games like Demon Souls, Last of Us, and Dead Space are seeing remakes. The real question should be whether gaming reached a creative ceiling that generation.
This game is charming and experimental (especially for its time), but its very primitive on the gameplay side of things. I finished it on Switch its a fun novelty kind of game but its a 6/10 for me personally.
Awesome news. This game is growing on me. I didn't really understand the game loop until I really sat down with it and started exploring. Its clearly "Breath of the Odyssey" but its unique enough.
Theres alot of gamers that can put up with poor performances bc they dont care about the tech specs, and they don't know what they're missing out on. Look at the debates online about not needing a PS5 (bc of its lack of true exclusives) or a "Switch Successor". Not to be condescending, but informed consumers are few and far between.
@Arnna Sekiro is my fav. The movement/traversal, fluid combat/parry system really made it the greatest for me. Also keep in mind hack & slash games is my fav gaming genre. Kind of brought it "closer to home" so to speak.
Im not a DS2 hater tho. Really enjoyed my time with it on PS3. My biggest knock were the enemies were kind of redundant from an artstyle standpoint.
This game was alot of fun. Its not for everyone, but it was definitely a top 10 game for me last year. I don't necessarily disagree with the mixed reviews, but the fun factor made up for its flaws for me personally.
Arigami was excellent, but its sequel was a complete miss. I was hoping they would bounce back and making something great though. I hope they find work ASAP.
CotM has grown on me alot. I personally would give an 8 as its loaded with content and shows the potential of PSVR2. However, I feel a 7 is fair bc even though I like the climbing, its a certainly polarizing element that I can see turning off alot of gamers. Also, Horizon has to be reviewed as a AAA game, which i feel has a different curve.
I bought this game bc I loved What the Golf and the humor/gameplay on that one. This game is a bit more "barebones" compared to What the Golf, but as a VR experience I think it lives up to my expectation. I had alot of fun with this game and I'm looking forward to more content.
From a consumer level, I find Linear and Open World games to be incomparable. In 2023, I find Linear games to be more refreshing as there is major oversaturation with Open World games. However, we can't overlook Open World games that are executed in fun and innovative ways.

Re: Best PS4 Games
Too many retro games and ports on here. I feel these takeaway from better games of PS4 generation.
Re: Pavlov VR, Switchback, and Kayak VR Among PSVR2's Most Popular Games
Out of these, i own none. I plan on getting Walking Dead, Star Wars & Job Simulator at some point.
Re: Almost Every Mainline Final Fantasy Game Will Soon Be Playable on Current PlayStation Consoles

Re: Poll: Are You Playing God of War Ragnarok's New Game Plus?
Still on my 1st playthrough on RE4 on Hardcore. Taking much longer than expected (a good thing).
Re: With All Eyes on Activision Blizzard, EA Is Actually Driving Most Console User Engagement
No wonder Sony is trying to get into more live service games. Makes sense from this perspective.

Re: PSVR2 Sales Off to a 'Slow Start', New Report Claims
I'm loving the PSVR2 but it does lack mass appeal.
Re: Classic RPG Remake Live A Live Coming to PS5, PS4 on 27th April
This game is charming and experimental (especially for its time), but its very primitive on the gameplay side of things. I finished it on Switch its a fun novelty kind of game but its a 6/10 for me personally.
Re: Sony Is Acting Unfairly Against Xbox in Japan, US Congress Members Say
This is Microsoft money doing the talking at this point.
Re: Capcom Fans Split Over What Classic Game Should Be Remade Next
After giving it some thought, I feel Resident Evil ReRemake under the RE Engine is the best possible choice.
Re: Tchia PS5 Patch Adds 60fps Support
@Beerheadgamer82 I think an accurate map marker like GTA would take away from the exploration of the game.
Re: Tchia PS5 Patch Adds 60fps Support
Awesome news. This game is growing on me. I didn't really understand the game loop until I really sat down with it and started exploring. Its clearly "Breath of the Odyssey" but its unique enough.
Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake on PS4 Is Why Cross-Gen Needs to End
@Flaming_Kaiser i couldn't agree more. Imagine Returnal on PS4 🤣 The load times and haptic triggers are essential factors to that game.

Re: Elden Ring Update 1.09 Adds Ray Tracing on PS5, Here Are All the Patch Notes
@Arnna I can definitely understand that. Not sure what's more daunting: Relearning Sekiro, or starting a New Game 🤣

An essential PS1 game for sure.
Re: Best Indie Games on PS5
This list is a bit overcrowded and takes away from some actual great games, but its solid nonetheless. Sifu would be my number 1.
Re: Sigh! For the Record, Sony Is Not Making a Superman PS5 Exclusive
I love SUPERMAN, but as a game, it should remain an N64 exclusive.
Re: Talking Point: Is 2024 Too Soon for PS5 Pro?
I'd buy a PS5 Pro day 1. If a PS5 Pro doesn't exist, I'm ok with that too.
Re: Massive Ghostwire: Tokyo Update Drops After PS Plus Extra Debut
@Bricktop33 Its coming to PS5 also. The same thing happened with Deathloop when it debuted on Xbox with new content.
