I expected this game to be like Dead Space, but the game definitely needs to have its own identity if it wants to make a legitimate splash as AAA experience (especially with Dead Space Remake right around the corner). I'm still interested in this game as a AAA survival horror games are slim pickings, but I won't pay more than $30 for this. Something seems very off from the gameplay i've seen.
@thefourfoldroot1 I'm personally burned out from the superhero oversaturation myself, but from a gaming perspective, owning a PS5 & skipping Insomniac titles would be a big mistake. They've been on fire since launch. Not asking you to agree with me, but I'm just saying.
This might be the worst game of all time. Sure it plays well & its game design is perfectly fine, but it really shows the many reasons why I dislike people in general. LOL, I mean that with all my heart.
@Robocod I came here to say this is expected with how DOTEMU handled the PS5 Dragon's Trap game. I guess if Streets of Rage 4 comes to PS5, we'll know exactly what to expect.
@brazzios_84 There was no upgrade path for P5 from PS3 to PS4 (there was such an upgrade program for these in the past), no upgrade path from PS4 Vanilla to P5R, and now no upgrade path for PS4 P5R to PS5 version. The bottom line is, this shouldn't surprise anyone. I'm personally not buying this game for a 3rd time.
To defeat Sean I would dodge his combo holding L1 tapping back as he swung (no spam), then i would spam Triangle combo (knocks him off his feet), the ground attack him and repeat. Its the same thing with the 2nd form except you have to dodge his sweep attach with L1 & Up. Its always only the 1st attack of this combo, and sometimes follows the shoulder rush. Dont GIVE UP!
I just beat the game last night. Right now i'm doing my 2nd run sparing the bosses for talismans & true ending.
Its not "impossibly" difficult once you figure out the high/low parries & blocks, when to avoid & when to exploit. Highly recommend everyone to get the "sweep focus" & "running sweep" permanent upgrades asap.

Re: Reaction: Sony Poised to End 2022 without Major Press Conference
Forspoken, FF16, Wolverine, Spiderman 2, Silent Hill 2, Stellar Blade, and the PSVR2 launch....From my wallet's perspective, I'm alright with this.
Re: Mini Review: Save Room (PS5) - RE4 Delight Turned Full Game
I want to play this!

Re: The Quarry (PS5) - Maybe Until Dawn Was Just a Fluke
I'm still interested in this game, but I really respect when reviewers explore the scale a bit. 5/10 does mean average.

@rockodoodle I won't be surprised if there is a steep discount this holiday.
Re: Sonic Frontiers (PS5) - Bold New Gamble for the Series Pays Off
If there is any game that needs a demo or trial, its this game.
Re: TMNT: Shredder's Revenge Getting PS5 Version, Identical to PS4
@Robocod I came here to say this is expected with how DOTEMU handled the PS5 Dragon's Trap game. I guess if Streets of Rage 4 comes to PS5, we'll know exactly what to expect.
Also, DOTEMU had nothing to do with Monster Boy.
Re: Poll: Will You Pay the PSVR2 Launch Price?
I had already put $400 aside for it. Gonna need to save an extra $200 now. Sheesh. I'm getting it though.

Re: Mini Review: Shatter Remastered Deluxe (PS5) – Brick Breaking Great Returns
One of my fav early PSN games from the PS3 era. This one takes me back to simpler times.

Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake Roughly 'the Same Length' as the Original
I wonder what that platinum trophy is like?
Re: Mini Review: The Artful Escape (PS5) – A Visual Treat That's Light on Gameplay
This game is a treat. Personally, it strummed some emotional chords (pun fully intended).

@Blackmagehobbit big time!
Re: Ridiculous Rumour Reckons PS Showcase Delayed Due to Investigation into Xbox's Activision Acquisition
Jim Ryan's priorities are all over the place. At this point I believe he's capable of anything no matter how outlandish..
Re: Cuphead - Cartoon Run and Gun Is As Hard As It Is Beautiful
This is a 10/10 game for me personally.
Re: Mini Review: Persona 5 Royal (PS5) - Still One of the Best JRPGs Ever Made, Despite PS4 Disrespect
@Melee_Ace You make a good point. I'm still not surprised though.
Re: Mini Review: Persona 5 Royal (PS5) - Still One of the Best JRPGs Ever Made, Despite PS4 Disrespect
Historically, ATLAS has always repackaged the Persona games at full price. This is no different.
Re: No More Heroes III (PS5) - A Suda51 Sequel Full of Surprises
I loved NMH 1 & 2 back in the day, but this one isn't it.

ASTRO IS A 10/10 GAME. PS5'S MARIO 64.

Terrible game TBH. PS users are not missing out.
Re: Mini Review: Paradise Killer (PS5) - A Wild Murder Mystery That Puts the Player in Charge
Games like this make me wish there was a PS VITA version. I played this on SWITCH. Its very impressive.
Re: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (PS5) - Borderlands Fantasy Spin-Off Can't Quite Find the Magic
Borderlands is a relic of the PS3 era & the series peaked with part 2. This review seems very fair to me.
Re: Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition (PS5) - The Definitive Version of a Truly Exceptional Action Game
PS4 VERSION IS BETTER ON BACK COMPAT IN MY OPINION.
Re: Ghostwire: Tokyo (PS5) - Not the Bethesda Swansong We Hoped For
I'm a big fan of the genre, so this is still a must buy for me.

Re: Sifu Pre-Order Early Access Issues Fixed on PS5, PS4
I was playing the early access yesterday after "preordering" the standard edition. Looks like they fixed that tho 👎
Re: Mini Review: Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania (PS5) - Sony Potassium 5
THIS GAME IS HARD AS IT IS! No lives doesn't reduce the stakes, especially for those who like to 100%.
