@Bonbonetti I would say that the main story will take you around 40ish hours (will take longer if you want to do all the side quests)

@SoulsBourne128 I haven't played Seven Deadly Sins so unfortunately can't do a comparison

@Spectra It might be a bit tough to get used to if you've only watched the anime with an English dub but I think that the Japanese voice actors are really good! I especially love Sucy's VA

I love my Vita - still play it a few times a week! I really enjoy random niche Japanese games so for me the Vita has been a great system. I still have a pretty hefty Vita backlog to play though so can't see me stopping anytime soon

I'm thinking this might get released in about 10 years...

Oooh this week's is tough!

I went with:
Kat
Sir Daniel
Lara
Kratos

@DarthPablo I've played most of the Atelier series on PS Vita so it definitely felt a bit strange to play it on a PS4! It didn't take me too long to get used to playing it on a big screen though.

I felt like Atelier Firis really struggled on the PS Vita (loads of slow down in the first town), so I'm not massively surprised that they skipped it this time around.

Thanks @Wazeddie22 I wonder if them getting rid of the open world setting is an issue with lack of time and budget rather than anything to do with the fan reaction to Atelier Firis

Ellie
Neo
Crash
Dante

Yay! I love Jeff Goldblum

@geckcellent sorry to hear you weren't so keen on my review. I try not to give in-depth analysis on character routes as I don't want to give out spoilers. Also it would end up being a pretty long review if I commented on every single character route! I take your points on board though

@Jaz007 I do think this seems to be more of a male issue. While I haven’t played If My Heart Had Wings I don’t think I’d have any issues playing a romance game from a male perspective. I enjoy reading books, many of which have male protagonists (and so have romance/sex scenes from a man’s perspective). I enjoy it if it’s well written, regardless of whose point of view it’s from.

Maybe, as @RogerRoger says, this is due to women being more empathetic and so being more able (or willing) to see things from viewpoints that are not the same as their own. Although I would argue that maybe this is also partially due to women being more used to experiencing things from a man’s point of view. Many popular games & movies have male protagonists (or female protagonists that could easily be swapped for men). As we’ve grown up with these games & movies, playing or watching something from a male perspective (including romance/sex) is not something we’d instantly think of as being exclusively for men and we probably even consider many of these things to be fairly gender neutral.

I guess my point is that I feel like marketing these kinds of games as “made for women” is doing a disservice both to men and the games themselves.

I’ve very much enjoyed this discussion, it’s been fun

@RogerRoger @Jaz007 I always find it a little amusing when men feel slightly awkward about playing otome games. I don't feel awkward playing videogames or watching movies from a male characters perspective, so I feel like guys should be able to enjoy games from a female characters perspective as well! I do get that romance isn't to everyone's tastes though

This is nice, I like the art style

Lara
Joel
Senua
Kratos

Aw that's a shame, might still pick this up at some point but will definitely wait for a sale!

Lmao this is so odd

@ReanSchwarzer7 6/10 is above average and means "not bad" according to Push Square's scoring policy. I played it on PS4, have plenty of space on my HD and it still crashed a lot

@Tasuki @FullbringIchigo I think Legend of Mana was released on PSVita

@fchinaski hehe you're welcome

@Th3solution Haha I know that feeling! I hadn't intended to play this just yet but thankfully the only online trophy doesn't take too long to get!

I picked up Knack in a sale last year for about £3.50. I thought it was awesome, good for those who haven't played it yet. I'll be very happy if we get RiME as I haven't tried that yet

I'm really glad that it's doing so well!

I'm really intrigued by Fe and Kingdom Come looks awesome as well!

@gmxs Ooops! I guess I'll show myself out

So glad I haven't bothered picking up the season pass yet! Might wait a little bit longer though just in case they release another version of DLC...

I would be so happy if Spyro got remade! That was the first game series I really fell in love with

Go Sir Daniel Fortesque!

I'm really looking forward to this I know it's taken them a bit longer than expected but it looks like it's almost ready now. Fingers crossed that it comes out next year!

I so want one It looks so cute!

hmmm...well it's better than nothing I guess

Might give this one a miss (or wait for a really good sale)

@Cpt_Price thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

@Cpt_Price I've been around Push Square for a while now

@nhSnork @Fight_Teza_Fight it's been so long since I've played XIII that I can't really remember why I didn't like it. Next time they're in the sale I'll pick them up and give it another try!

@Fight_Teza_Fight I wasn't that keen on XIII, but I only played the first one. Were the other two games better than the first?

I know it's really unlikely but I'm hoping that maybe it means a remake/remaster of FFXII Revenant Wings

Great news I never got round to picking these up so would be awesome to get them on PS4!

@Fight_Teza_Fight Volumes 1 - 3 are around 25 to 35 hours each, depending on if you want to do all the sidequest stuff or not.The fourth volume is around 4 hours.

@AlejandroMora you say that like it's a bad thing!

@Turniplord I honestly really enjoyed it and wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did! As for opening all the chests, I tend to have a notepad near me when gaming so jotted down any chests that I couldn't open at the time. Always tends to be a good idea to note things down as you game - can save loads of time later

@Ryno yes, you can save pretty much whenever you like

@CountFunkula78 I raise my paws and bow down to your supreme level of punning skills. I can't bear-lieve that I've been beat but guess I'll just have to grin and bear it!

@JoeBlogs @Th3solution it has cross save but not cross buy. I haven't tried the Vita version yet but I imagine that'd work just as well. I saw someone comment ages ago on the Japanese PS Vita version that it was sometimes slow to load textures but otherwise worked well.

I have the Vita version pre-ordered from Amazon so when it arrives I'll be able to test it out. I have all the other games on Vita so wanted a physical Vita version as well to keep my collection complete!

@CountFunkula78 @Ralizah I apologise for the unbearable puns - they're so embearassing! If I don't stop soon there will be pandamonium!

I loved the PS3 version, really looking forward to this coming out

@Rob_230 I haven't played the Vita version but I've seen other reviewers on Twitter talk about how pretty it looks.

I love my PS Vita but think that Sony didn't properly support it with big games that would attract the average gamer. For me it's perfect as I like niche & RPGs but I can totally understand why others didn't get into it.

@Rob_230 I bought a 64gb memory card a few months ago and filled it up pretty rapidly. Too many good games and nowhere near enough memory card space...

@Rob_230 @Fight_Teza_Fight as you can probably tell I'm a huge fan of the Vita so plan to keep covering it for as long as games keep coming out for it!

Really looking forward to Danganronpa 3!

Not much for me this month but I am looking forward to Crash Bandicoot

Love the tagline for this review I'm now sitting at my desk humming Disney tunes!

Nice review! Reminds me of Dragon Quest Builders so I may have to pick this one up!
