@colonelkilgore Many thanks for that list, much appreciated! A few of those you've mentioned are actually in my backlog, seeing them made me motivated to start them soon (Alice Madness Returns especially).

I found El Shaddai to be pretty good. Do keep in mind it was released in 2011, and there's a Remastered version that came out a few months back on Switch which is surely superior. The PS3 version still gave me a good experience though.

@colonelkilgore Hi, could you please list the games in your PS3 backlog that you've cleared? I enjoy going back to my PS3 from time to time, and this year I've started and completed Folklore, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, and more recently Lollipop Chainsaw. I'm always open to recommendations for this underrated console!

Metaphor ReFantazio Prologue Demo, which is a pleasant surprise to me. Will start Zelda Echoes of Wisdom once I'm done with it.

@Zuljaras Best comment. People are so used to getting voluntarily ripped off nowadays. Oh well, it's their money to burn.

"No, I don't want a PS5 Pro", especially not at that insulting price and without a disc drive

Lunar, Fantasian, and Ghost of Yotei have my vote

@Czar_Khastik Someone actually bought that A4 sheet...

Characters in Metaphor Refantazio named after/inspired by F1 drivers:

Hulkenberg = Nico Hülkenberg
Gallica = Divina Galica
Strohl = Lance Stroll

Not a coincidence at all

@Czar_Khastik that'd be nice, along with a PS Vita version with cross-save compatibility to carry on playing on the go

Nice review. Will pick this up on sale.

Glad I managed to snag a PS3 copy for £30-ish last year, turned out to be a rare game with a high price!

Pleasant surprise it may be, but defo not an 800-quid one.

Still on Visions of Mana. As with most JRPGs, I'm starting to get burnout after 50 hours, so will start Astrobot as a cleanser in-between my sessions.

Managed to snag a sealed copy at Argos for £47 thanks to discount codes

Way too expensive. Was interested, but there's not a snowball's chance in hell people will be paying that price.

These businessmen truly live on another planet. Absolutely delusional.

@VeldinX How are they the same thing? They're totally different...
"Nope, it's overpriced now" = post-increase
"No, it was already too expensive" = pre-increase

Visions of Mana, such a lovely game. Will buy Astrobot once I've completed it.

Loving Visions of Mana, great to see it in the top 10. And Emio is one of the best visual novels I've ever played, so glad to see it there too.

Nah. The Special Bots are more akin to free DLC, with their own separate trophy set.

"Too talky for its own good" for a visual novel is the equivalent of "too much shooting" in a FPS game. 0 logic in that con.

Spider-Man 2, nearly all wrapped up with the story and platinum trophy

Very puzzled they managed to get so far as releasing a trailer without receiving a cease and desist...

Another reason that the VITA is a beast of a console is the fact that it's also a Trails-machine, with a total of 7 Trails games being available on it: The Sky Evolution trilogy, Crossbell Evolution duology, and Cold Steel I & II. I'm thankful I managed to discover this gem of a JRPG series thanks to my VITA.

I love the VITA, it's my favourite handheld console of all time. A successor would be amazing.

I don't get why MGS3 is getting the remake treatment when all fans have been wanting to see for decades is the beginning of Solid Snake's legendary career in the original MSX Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 remade in today's graphics and gameplay...

Since they want to ostracize PlayStation players, then so be it. Hopefully this game will flop hard, as that seems to be their aim here.

Looks like I'm part of the three-quarters who have 0 interest in this game.

Looking good, quite excited for this. Discovered this series with Serpent's Curse which was offered as PS+ game a few years back, loved it.

@GADG3Tx87 I completely agree, but, in this game, you explore an open world via a pirate ship... Get it?

Nah, I'm not sure about the game yet.
Considering most people are saying it's GoW-Souls hybrid, not my cup of tea.

Question 2 is incorrect. There are actually 9 playable characters in Until Dawn.

Good to see 90% of Pushsquare readers have common sense.

For those in the UK who missed out and don't want to get one via those despicable scalpers:

They still have some available to preorder, although there's a £4 delivery cost

@ScarletSpidey https://gb.store.square-enix-games.com/final-fantasy-i-vi-collection-anniversary-edition

4/10, only got the Persona, Mortal Kombat, Yakuza, and FF questions right, having actually played them...Never played the games mentioned in the other 6 unfortunately.

@Kraven Hey, nice to chat to a fellow Trails aficionado!
I know exactly how those saying the game is only 40-50 hours long "play" the game: skipping all cutscenes, not bothering to do sidequests, not talking to NPCs... It's sad, really, as that is exactly the opposite of how a Trails game is enjoyed. Imho, no other gaming series has such a solid cast of characters, worldbuilding and lore.

Sorry to hear about you having to take a break, hope you can resume it soon no problem and enjoy the next chapters even more!

Trails through Daybreak. Brilliant game, over 80 hours in and still only on Chapter 3.

Urgh, a 6, I'm disappointed

Perfect 50/50 split in votes, amazing.

What an absolute moronic nonce. Can't even write one sentence without swearing.

Not a given. Look at the originally digital-only Baldur's Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2. There will always be a numerous number of physical enthusiasts refusing to give in to the farce of forced digital purchases.

Amazing game, my favourite FF. Plan on doing a second playthrough towards the end of the year along with the DLCs.

Can't stand Soulsborne games, so 0 interest from me

AAI2 is the best game of the Ace Attorney series. Glad to see the last game that was officially locked to Japan now coming West.

"putting them joint-top of Group B after one game"

They're not joint-top though, they're second. Spain is clear at the top on account of having a Goal Difference of 3 as opposed to Italy's 1.

@UltimateOtaku91 Trails through Daybreak too

@Cry_Zero I laughed out loud at your comment, because it's so true! Clowns is a very apt term to describe them!

Instant redownload! Wait, hang on, it's actually the first time I'm downloading it since it was already installed on the PS5 when I first bought it !
