This looks incredibly average to me. Regardless of the level of polish, seeing the first AAA Bleach game in over a decade just do what everyone else is doing is just underwhelming.
That said, they just announced Rangiku for the game, so I'm now obligated to play it.
This is the third title in about a year to have this issue, and even Xbox's first party games keep launching at 30 fps specifically on console. Maybe it's just me, but when devs keep talking about issues with Xbox development, I choose to believe them.
Right now, I'd give it an 8. I haven't gotten far enough to say if that's my definitive score, but so far I'm enjoying it as much as I expected to.
After Elden Ring, getting to fight bosses with clear timings and openings feels like a breath of fresh air. It feels good to look forward to a boss encounter again instead of just dreading them.
With how FromSoftware's design philosophy has changed in the years since Bloodborne, I don't think I want them to do a sequel. They haven't made a game that fine tuned and balanced since.
Not the announcement I expected today, but I'm thrilled. The DS Castlevania era is probably the most consistently good for the series, and seeing it get a second life is great.
Phil can do all the corporate speak he wants, but we know the truth. Microsoft put themselves in the bafflingly unprecedented position of being the biggest publisher with the smallest platform, and when you compound that with a sunk cost driver like Gamepass, your not going to get your money back without your competitors picking up your slack.
Looks good. I can't wait to love it for twenty hours, spend months trying to get a monster part that never drops, wonder what I'm doing with my life and then never play it again.
For everyone curious, Playstation China released PS5 footage of the game the other day and you can find it on YouTube. I'm no performance expert, but it looks pretty solid to me.

Re: THQ Nordic Announces PS5 Port of PS4 Remaster of PS3 Action Game Darksiders 2
And they still aren't fixing new game plus. I just want to use the Aftermath somewhere other than the Crucible. That's not asking too much.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Astro Bot?

Re: Random: Larian Fondled Cream-Filled Oreos to Get Baldur's Gate 3 Tentacle Scene Just Right
Saying creme fulled in the headline implies that they're are oreos that aren't.
Are there oreos without creme? Because that sounds horrible.
Re: Black Myth: Wukong Is Eating Your Inputs on PS5, and It's a Problem with Performance Mode
