I simply adore Ghostwire: Tokyo. It's far from perfect, as a shooter it's very basic, enemy variety is nonexistent and main story, as kids say, is nothingburger. But sidequests are great! Do you have a favourite urban legend or horror trope? It will be there. I desperately wanted a sequel, something like Ghostwire Kyoto, which would keep the strong aspects and improve the weak, but first Microsoft happened, and then Hi-Fi Rush happened, which now everybody associates with the studio. (I found it boring as f-k). Oh well, maybe I'll just replay this game on hard.
Don't really have a horse in this race since I pretty much stopped playing western games, but "Best Bioware game since Mass Effect 3" is a very low bar.
Already played closed beta on PC. Bad: no controller support whatsoever, playing platformer with keyboard is akin to torture. Good: I got paid for beta testing, not the other way around.
Oh boy, I'm totally in minority on this, but I really hate that since Yakuza 0 found success in the west, everyone associats the franchise with goofy sh*t (and retconed Majima). I always loved that humor stayed in the side quest and the main plot was epic serious crime drama. But now everyone expects clownage everywhere and creators know that. Once LaD was one of my favourite series and I prayed for the translation of the new games. Now monkey paw granted my wish and I'll be skipping that pirate embarrassment. Peace, enjoy the games.
Only played it at a friend's house back in a day, never managed to get a copy myself. Totally will get this one, I love 3D platformers and there are too few of them now.
It's scary what Sony 1st party studios have become. Naughty Dog might as well be renamed in Last of Us studio, Insomniac in Marvel, Guerilla in Horizon. I look forward to Ghost of Yotei, but really wish Sucker Punch would do something different after it.
It was great on a technical level, looked and played nice, but writing took a huge hit. It was like developers thought "the first game was too mature, let's add some dumb ***** for kiddies". And boy they did. And not to mention Peter's new face. When he was on a date with MJ it looked like sugar mommy was walking her baby.
Among my favourite games there are exactly zero western games with enormous budgets and workforce, and that won't change any time soon. You can keep your godofwars and lastsofus, I'm happy with just AA rpgs from Gust and Falcom.
It may be the finest remake in the world, but for me the best thing about Silent Hill 2 is the story and plot twists. And I already know all of them. So yeah, this just isn't for me.
Too many games, too little time. Already preordered Metaphor, but still gotta finish Trails through Daybreak, Reynatis and Sakuna of Rice and Ruin. Also occasionally do a couple of runs in Forza Motorsport.
Seriously can't understand why people wanted GoT2. Invasion of Tsushima is over. Jin's story is over. GoT was a historical game, people wanted a fanfic?

Re: Infinity Nikki Will Be the Next Big Thing on PS5
The closed beta was great, have high hopes for this game.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy a Huge Priority for PS5, Will Connect to HBO TV Show
Don't care at all about TV show and definitive edition, but would love a sequel with more interactive school and time management.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Monster Hunter Wilds Beta?
Wasn't unexpected, but still it's a shame that the game doesn't work on steam deck. Monster Hunter will always be portable franchise for me.

Great game. If only there was a semblance of challenge.

@AndyKazama Crystar should've been a visual novel. Battle system and locations were as basic as humanly possible, but the story was great.

Re: There Is a God! Netflix Is Bringing Us More Cyberpunk Anime
Edgerunners was miles better than the game itself. But if the next series isn't an anime hy Japanese studio, then there is no hope at all.
Re: Mini Review: Reynatis (PS5) - Beautiful Action RPG Is Far Too Repetitive
Not even a single mention of Yoko Shimomura's music?
Anyway, it's my most anticipated game if the year after Stellar Blade, loved the demo.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Huge PS5 Pro Enhancements Are a 'Vast Improvement'
The only meaningful "vast improvement" for this game is cutting out all the multiverse/time travel buIIshit.
