I bought NFS Unbound when it sold with 95% discount or something, and it's... fine, I guess. Better than all previous PS4 entries, but I know it's not saying much. Oh, and you can turn off cartoonish effects if you want.
Red flags are waving in the wind. Dear Atlus, your games are already selling like hot cakes, please don't be consumed by greed. Stick to what you know and don't ruin your games by pandering to masses who don't like Japanese games to begin with.
Nothing of above, especially Elden Fortnite or Tsushima 1.5. The best action of 2025 for me without a doubt was Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, the combat was simply stellar. That was one heck of the debut, can't wait to see what those guys will do next.
It's a fine game, but in the year filled with absolute bangers, fine simply isn't enough. I finished it, but seriously doubt I'll ever return for platinum or a second playthrough.
Unlike great many of you, I'm still into holiday shopping and preparations. You see, here in Russia we have the same thing: decorated tree, presents, sparkling wine, drunk uncle under the table, but it all happens on New Year's night. So... yeah, besides preparing for that and ice skating, I didn't had lots of gaming time. I finished platinum in Diablo IV (had to kill my friend five times for that), some levels in Captain Toad Treasure Tracker and that was pretty much it.
That's all for now, stay safe, love each other and have a nice weekend.
That sounds good on paper, but only if you haven't bought any of them, and played each other. Not to mention those games usually were heavily discounted even without psplus.
I haven't played Death Stranding 2, but I never liked a single Kojima game and I doubt it will be an exception. But it's always nice to see Trails getting some love.
Yeah, it shows you don't know. Right now open world anime gachas on PS5 are Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves and Infinity Nikki. Neither of which was released this year.
I bought and tried Metroid Prime 4. I played for about five hours and downloaded Prime remaster. Seriously, classical "You and the guy she tells you not to worry about" situation. Where has all the talent gone?
Other than that, I'm having a blast with Wuchang Fallen Feathers. This game has talent in spades. Seriously, I'm amazed how a debut game from a new developer nailed the soulslike combat, it feels better than the actual Souls games. Very excited to see future projects from these guys.
That's all for now, love each other and have a great weekend.
Sorry, Sega, but I'll miss game awards, I won't stay awake at 3 a.m. for Dorito Pop clownage. But don't be upset, I promise to read announcements first thing in the morning.
This week I identify as a game boy. No, really, it only took eight years for Nintendo to add control mapping to game boy games on Switch so they are finally playable for me. So I've completed two Mario Land games. And while the first one is simple little game only good as a piece of history, the second one is actually great! Level design is superb and the variety of stages, enemies and bosses is off the charts. I've really enjoyed that game more than any so-called "new" Mario Bros.
I also started Metroid Prime... Hunters. No, really, I already bought Prime 4, but decided to finish the only Metroid game I didn't finish before starting it. I tried it on DS when it came out and found it awful. Now thanks to melonprime it's playable at least. Doubt I'll get much enjoyment out of it, but I need to close gestalt.
