Really enjoyed the first game, so will definitely pick this up at some point!

@Olmaz My setup is PS5 - Sony Bravia TV - Sonos Beam Gen 2.

Do you Arc or eArc connections? As I know that could make a difference, but not sure if it would reduce latency. I only have Arc though. Everyone's experience will vary due to their setups.

@Olmaz Sorry, I may have explained it poorly. I've only played one game since getting an Atmos capable setup, but that was in Dolby 5.1 as I'm not part of the the Beta test group. I've only watched movies in Atmos. I've not experienced any noticeable lag on either.

@Olmaz When digital foundry tested atmos on PS5, they noted there was less lagg than on MS Series consoles, which was one of their main issues. I've only played one game but not noticed and issues so far, and I've tried to pay close attention to stuff like lip syncing.

@ThaBEN I would would stick with your current headphones, I can't imagine Atmos being a massive improvement over Tempest when using headphones.

I should have my sub woofer by the time it rolls out after getting a soundbar and rear speakers recently. Even playing games with 'only' 5.1 surround I've noticed a difference and definitely feels more immersive.

Cool, I'll bet getting an Atmos soundbar shortly, so that is nice timing for me!

Only completed Borderlands 3 fairly recently, so glad that is done before it was removed.

Not too shabby month for me, a few games from my wishlist that will be on the service.

Loved the first game, so will definitely play this at some point. Thanks for the review!

The Nintendo Seal of Quantity strikes again!

Been playing this all week and hopefully I'll will stick with it, as I've been a bit indifferent with similar games. But am really enjoying it so far. Not got beaten the first boss yet, but have just found the secret to use against it.

Massive fan of the first two films, so this definitely has me interested.

Cool, some games that are on my wishlist there. Whether I'll ever to actually get round to playing any of them is another matter.

I can recommend Inscryption. Great game and totally exceeded my expectations.

Used to be into fighting games when I was a kid, and played most of them that came out on whatever platform I was playing on. Not so much these days, the last couple I played I just couldn't get into them and ditched them after only a few hours.

@AdamNovice Ray Traced puddles or we riot.

Really enjoyed my time with Hollow Knight, but it seemed to never end and I ran out of steam before I could complete it. Maybe if the sequel was a bit less bloated or something, I would be a bit more interested. But seems like they are expanding on it. Oh well. 😕

@Genghis_Schlonng If there was, it clearly did not work lol.

After not being interested in the game at all, I certainly am now. Don't have a scooby when when I'll get to it though.

Not a good day in xbox land, with console sales being down by 30% in worst financial results so far...

My interest has definitely piqued after the decent reviews, but would like to play Dying Light 2 and a few other games I missed from last year before.

That is disappointing to hear about first party titles leaving the service. Looks like I'll be holding on to my copy of Horizon Forbidden West, in case I want to experience Burning Shores.

I wasn't so fussed on this when I tried the demo on Switch earlier this year. Looks cool with some great animation, but some of the gameplay and presentation was too old skool for my liking.

@get2sammyb I guess some people don't appreciate a good pun when they see one, eh?

Can we have to poll whether to change it back or not?

I have been rocking one of the avatars for a few weeks now, as I managed to grab them when Kojima tweeted awhile back.

Not something I would use a great deal. The only time I would is when I staying over at a families house for the weekend or something, and I have a Switch for that. Which hardly gets used these days anyway, as any gaming I do away from PlayStation is either on Marvel Snap or Vampire Survivors on my tablet/phone.

My last two tellys have been a Sony, and my next one will definitely be one. They have been really reliable and my old one is still going at my parents. Which is more than I can say for some of the other models I've had over the years.

Asking for Colin Moriaty, have they fixed the trophies yet?

@Ralizah It was discussed in a podcast I was listening to the other day. Apparently PC's with even high end graphics have been struggling when loading in certain areas of some games, leading to them stuttering.

The way the SSD's work in the current gen consoles take a lot of the grunt work from the CPU and RAM, something PC architecture has not caught up with in the same price bracket the consoles offer. Normally, 3 years after new consoles have come out is unheard of. The pandemic obviously didn't help.

That is my understanding of it anyway.

@Ralizah You may get close to the power of a PS5, but good luck getting an SSD as good for a comparable price. That has been the bottle neck in some PC versions of recent games like Howgart's Legacy and Dead Space Remake (and a bunch of others too). More and more games are being developed with the SSD of the current gen consoles in mind, so I imagine that will continue being an issue until a comparable product becomes widely available.

It's bit of a nonsense imo. People will cry a river about anything these days. Would be good to have the option to turn it off for those that start frothing at the mouth over it.

I might give code vein a go at some point, but I was massively turned off by the character designs and what I heard about the combat when it first came out.

I thought this site didn't do negative playstation articles?

Some great games there which I've not played. Maybe I will finally get round to playing Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy.

Although I'm currently playing the stand out title for Extra in Horizon Forbidden West, there are still a few games which I'm interested and not yet played, probably more so than most months I can remember.

@belmont Even more baffling is why the first game came out on Xbox Series, but this sequel has not been announced for those consoles.

Another killer month for Extra. The games this month alone that I don't already have and am interested pay for the subscription.

Jim Crying.... all the way to the bank.

Colin Moriaty will be best pleased lol.

Should be sone juicy details revealed, albeit redacted. Like in the Apple v Epic case.

Hopefully that doesn't mean it is really bloated as I thought there was way too much samey side stuff in the first game. Still really enjoyed it though!

As long as the gameplay is still decent, that is all that really matters to me. I'll happily play a game with good gameplay but with sub par story and characters etc. I would struggle if it was the other way round though.

The only one piece I know of is the one I slip into on the weekends.

Forspoken followed very closely by Dead Space. Won't be getting either for awhile yet though, as I've got some games from last year I want to play. Nothing else on the list really interests me.

@LordAinsley Ha Ha that is almost the perfect marriage. It is how I wake up every morning.

Not Riiiiiiidge Raaaaaaaacer?

If I was looking to get a PSVR2, Horizon, Resident Evil Village and Gran Turismo 7 are great titles to have at launch.

Some people are real salty that some games that they didn't like appear on the list. Not a good look people, not a good look at all.

Cool, 2 out of the 3 games I almost bought recently, so a very good month for me.

Glad to see the comments are really positive towards the game! I've yet to play it, but will get to it soon hopefully.

I found it fun to begin with, but when I reached the third zone I quickly became bored of the gameplay loop. I did have a break from it, but still no joy when I went back to it. I've moved onto Horizon Forbidden West now, so doubt I will go back to it anytime soon.
