I played this on Xbox last year via Game Pass, and loved it. Just a fascinating story with a lot of paths to take. I haven't played the DLC (I don't think?) so I may give it another runthrough.
@NarutosBiggestFan Man, I loved Lego Dimensions. I wish they would do a digital-only rerelease, no toys or portal needed. Gameplay would need a bit of reworking, but I'd even shell out for DLC characters and packs.
@Mauzuri I really liked the first one but didn't finish it because the boss battles towards the final couple of chapters were too difficult, and just an absolute slog. I'd also like to learn more about the difficulty before committing to this.
I love Bill and Ted, but nothing could get me to replay this infuriatingly horrible mess. Check out AVGN's video if you're curious and save yourself a tenner.
The game is really good (and nothing at all like Avengers or Gotham Knights). The problem that all games are going to start running into is that at $70 a pop, players are going to be much, much more selective. Very few games, if any, are worth that asking price, especially when you start loading season passes on top.
I really enjoyed the game, but not enough to revisit with DLC. The storytelling and graphics were so hit or miss, and it was dragging a bit by the disappointing finale. I agree with the 7/10.
@Unlucky13 My TV apps are really clunky. We do use it for Amazon Prime as that stutters on PS5, but everything else goes through the system. It's much more streamlined and tends to look better too.
...I feel like I was expecting too much. It looks pretty good, and may still get a third full playthrough out of me, but it's not as transformative as what I hoped for. My bad.
@AmanK_Art Check the accessibility custom options. There actually is an option to auto solve puzzles. The customization of games like this and Control are the way it should be done.
This had a solid campaign, but man, the multiplayer and post-game content could not have been any more of a drag. I'm looking forward to Midnight Suns and hope it turns out, but what I'm really chomping at the bit for is Spider-Man 2.
@claytortot213 That's just untrue. China hasn't released a Marvel movie since Endgame due to "objectionable content" that Disney wouldn't change. Same for Lightyear, the upcoming Strange Worlds and others. Disney doesn't factor Chinese box office anymore.
I played both Spider-Man games in 30 fps Fidelity mode and they looked and played great. To each their own, but it really doesn't mean anything to me. And didn't they say it had more to do with keeping it stable for online coop? Calling them lazy just seems like an uninformed, easy go-to.
I've owned Injustice 2 for ages. Hot Wheels is pretty good, but you'll have to pay for a lot of its best content. Superhot is a decent novelty that's pretty fun in VR, but wears thin fast. Hopefully Premium has a few fun surprises. At least I've got Plague Tale Requiem on GamePass.
Man, it had better be related. Stick and Fractured are modern classics. Fractured even has the slight edge for me, because I enjoyed the battle system, story and superhero franchise angle more.
Yeah, this was annoying. The morning of the open beta, I started playing with Harley and leveled her up several times. Logged back in in the afternoon, downloaded the patch, and suddenly she's locked and I had to earn and spend 2000 gold to be able to use her again.
I went ahead and upgraded to Extra. My main complaint is that they jumbled the Extra and Premium games together, so I have to scroll through a bunch of games I don't have access to while I'm browsing.

Re: Mini Review: Citizen Sleeper (PS5) - Solemn Yet Satisfying Sci-Fi Storytelling
I played this on Game Pass last year, and found it very engrossing. I'll probably give it another run once it hits the sales.
Re: Poll: Did You Enjoy the Diablo 4 Beta?
I never had the time to wait in the virtual queue, so I didn't get to play. I'll check out the full release though.
Re: Interview: Octopath Traveler 2 Devs on Series Goals, the First Game Skipping PlayStation, and More
I'm hoping this one has less of a late game slog than the first. I never finished it due to the long, difficult boss battles you were flooded with.
Re: Acclaimed Indie RPG Citizen Sleeper Wakes Up on PS5, PS4 Later This Month
I played this on Xbox last year via Game Pass, and loved it. Just a fascinating story with a lot of paths to take. I haven't played the DLC (I don't think?) so I may give it another runthrough.
Re: Skywalker Saga-Style LEGO Harry Potter Reportedly En Route
@NarutosBiggestFan Man, I loved Lego Dimensions. I wish they would do a digital-only rerelease, no toys or portal needed. Gameplay would need a bit of reworking, but I'd even shell out for DLC characters and packs.
Re: Funko Pop Tossing Over $30 Million Worth of Stock into a Landfill
Beanie Babies 2.0, now with more soullessness.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Octopath Traveler 2?
@Mauzuri I really liked the first one but didn't finish it because the boss battles towards the final couple of chapters were too difficult, and just an absolute slog. I'd also like to learn more about the difficulty before committing to this.
Re: Cyberpunk CRPG Gamedec Logs Imminent PS5 Release
This looks right up my alley in several ways. I'm down.
Re: The Expanse: A Telltale Series Centers Around a Bloody Mutiny in Space
The Expanse is phenomenal and deserves more than a Telltale style game. I'll give it a shot, but color me underwhelmed.
Re: Dude! Bill & Ted's Excellent Retro Collection Is Out on PS5, PS4 Now
I love Bill and Ted, but nothing could get me to replay this infuriatingly horrible mess. Check out AVGN's video if you're curious and save yourself a tenner.
Re: Life Is Strange's Don't Nod Reshapes the World in Harmony: The Fall of Reverie
I'll definitely give it a whirl. I'm really hoping for more Life Is Strange in the future. True Colors was stellar.
Re: Social Strategy Marvel's Midnight Suns Was a Critical Darling But Commercial Flop
The game is really good (and nothing at all like Avengers or Gotham Knights). The problem that all games are going to start running into is that at $70 a pop, players are going to be much, much more selective. Very few games, if any, are worth that asking price, especially when you start loading season passes on top.
Re: Deadpool Deals Big Damage in Marvel's Midnight Suns Next Week
I really enjoyed the game, but not enough to revisit with DLC. The storytelling and graphics were so hit or miss, and it was dragging a bit by the disappointing finale. I agree with the 7/10.
Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for January 2023 Announced
Eh. I already own/platted Fallen Order, don't care for Axiom Verge, and couldn't get into FO76. Maybe I'll give it another shot.
Re: Paramount Plus Starts Streaming to PS5 in USA
@Unlucky13 My TV apps are really clunky. We do use it for Amazon Prime as that stutters on PS5, but everything else goes through the system. It's much more streamlined and tends to look better too.
Re: Harry Potter Game Hogwarts Legacy Looks Like Pure PS5 Magic in Huge Showcase
@Hindenburg I'm sorry you have no imagination or sense of adventure or wonder. Enjoy the next Call of Duty I guess.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing The Witcher 3's PS5 Upgrade?
I usually pay zero attention to fps, but I think the RT mode for this makes everything so choppy that it's nearly unplayable.
Re: 22 New PS5, PS4 Games Coming to PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
Nothing for me, but glad others are excited.
Re: Marvel's Midnight Suns (PS5) - Heroic Social Strategy Experiment Is Almost Super
I'm really looking forward to giving this a go, but also am not willing to pay even close to full price for it.
Re: Insomniac Raises Pulses with Unprompted Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 GIF
Oh man, I had forgotten that Tony Todd was voicing Venom. Now I'm excited all over again.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Game Awards 2022?
Way better than I expected! There are quite a few games I'm hyped for.
Re: Don't Forget, Platform Fighter Divine Knockout Is Free with PS Plus Today
Hard, hard pass. We need a good, long break from games like these.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for December 2022 Available to Download Now
Anyone else having trouble adding Biomutant to their library? I get an error every time. (In the US) Edit: Renewed my licenses to fix.
Re: The Witcher 3 PS5 Is 'Hugely' Impressive, Says Super Positive Performance Preview
...I feel like I was expecting too much. It looks pretty good, and may still get a third full playthrough out of me, but it's not as transformative as what I hoped for. My bad.
Re: PS Plus Premium Likely Getting Star Wars Battlefront II from PSP
Great game, but using the PSP version is maddening. I'm still irritated about getting the vastly inferior PSP version of Toy Story 3 as well.
Re: 25% of Players Have Beaten God of War Ragnarok, Two Weeks After Release
To be honest, 15 hours in I'm feeling a little burnt out on it. I think I'm going to step away for a bit. I don't know what it is exactly.
Re: PS Plus Extra Loses Ys VIII as the PS5 Version Releases
@themightyant And no discount if you decide to purchase like GamePass. I refuse to play any RPGs on Plus because of this.
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 21
10/15. Mid-range, I'll take it.
Re: The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me (PS5) - One for the Fans Lacks Ambition
@dschons I totally agree. I really enjoyed Little Hope and didn't even finish House of Ashes.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give God of War Ragnarok?
@AmanK_Art Check the accessibility custom options. There actually is an option to auto solve puzzles. The customization of games like this and Control are the way it should be done.
Re: The Winter Soldier Joins Marvel's Avengers This Month
This had a solid campaign, but man, the multiplayer and post-game content could not have been any more of a drag. I'm looking forward to Midnight Suns and hope it turns out, but what I'm really chomping at the bit for is Spider-Man 2.
Re: PS1 Classic Syphon Filter 3 Could Be a New PS Plus Premium Game
I want some PS1 classic RPGs ASAP, and I know I'm not alone.
Re: Star Wars Eclipse 'Controlled Leak' Was Reportedly Intentional, Meant to Gauge Interest
This sounds like some other concept that they slapped the Star Wars title on. I guess maybe we'll find out in 4 to 5 years. Or not.
Re: Star Wars Eclipse 'Controlled Leak' Was Reportedly Intentional, Meant to Gauge Interest
@claytortot213 That's just untrue. China hasn't released a Marvel movie since Endgame due to "objectionable content" that Disney wouldn't change. Same for Lightyear, the upcoming Strange Worlds and others. Disney doesn't factor Chinese box office anymore.
Re: Gotham Knights Gameplay Overview Brings the Hype Ahead of Launch
I played both Spider-Man games in 30 fps Fidelity mode and they looked and played great. To each their own, but it really doesn't mean anything to me. And didn't they say it had more to do with keeping it stable for online coop? Calling them lazy just seems like an uninformed, easy go-to.
Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for October 2022 Announced
I've owned Injustice 2 for ages. Hot Wheels is pretty good, but you'll have to pay for a lot of its best content. Superhot is a decent novelty that's pretty fun in VR, but wears thin fast. Hopefully Premium has a few fun surprises. At least I've got Plague Tale Requiem on GamePass.
Re: Square Enix Action RPG Valkyrie Elysium's Demo Out Now on PS5, PS4
Wow, this is absolutely a PS3 performance game. A decent one, but yeesh. There's no way I'd pay full price for it.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Conjures an Exclusive PS5, PS4 Quest
@Americansamurai1 Don't worry, at least two of those will slip into 2024.
Re: Lick a Stick with Killer Klowns from Outer Space on PS5, PS4
@Juanalf Yeah, it kills me that there are new Evil Dead, Ghostbusters and now freaking Killer Klowns games, and they're all multiplayer.
Re: Dune Awakening Is an Open World MMO Worming Its Way to PS5
Dune, yes. MMO, sure. Survival, dammit.
Re: Saints Row (PS5) - Seriously Dumb Fun Outweighs Dated Open World
Well, that slaps it down right in the middle where I still don't know if I want to buy it or not. I guess I'll wait for a drop.
Re: Disney & Marvel Games Showcase to Spotlight New and Upcoming PS5, PS4 Releases
What would they have to talk about that's Lego Skywalker related? There's no more DLC planned, right?
Re: New South Park Game Teased by THQ Nordic
Man, it had better be related. Stick and Fractured are modern classics. Fractured even has the slight edge for me, because I enjoyed the battle system, story and superhero franchise angle more.
Re: Warner Bros Clarify the Confusing MultiVersus Free Character Rotation Situation
Yeah, this was annoying. The morning of the open beta, I started playing with Harley and leveled her up several times. Logged back in in the afternoon, downloaded the patch, and suddenly she's locked and I had to earn and spend 2000 gold to be able to use her again.
Re: Steampunk RPG Circus Electrique Is Coming to PS5, PS4 on 6th September
As long as there are no roguelike elements, I'm in.
Re: MultiVersus Open Beta Test: Dates, Times, Characters, and How to Play
@Realist Oh, gotcha. Well, this is the beta test, so it makes sense it's online only. I assume the full release will have offline modes.
Re: MultiVersus Open Beta Test: Dates, Times, Characters, and How to Play
@JohnKarnes I am so confused.
Re: Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 Will be Re-Released Next Week, on 20th July, for PS5, PS4
I might like to replay the Dark Alliance games, but they're overpriced imo. They'd be perfect for PS Plus Extra if Sony were so inclined.
Re: Next Ys Game Teased with Artwork, May Have Soulslike Elements
Please. Please don't ruin one of my favorite JRPG series with Souls elements. I ask for so little.
Re: PS Plus Extra, PS Plus Premium Now Live Across the USA
I went ahead and upgraded to Extra. My main complaint is that they jumbled the Extra and Premium games together, so I have to scroll through a bunch of games I don't have access to while I'm browsing.
