Buying this because that's... SAMOA JOE!

Last night I finished the excellent Visions of Mana - 9/10

And then I started Space Marine 2. Not sure it will be a 9/10 for me but it is a good Gears of War style game so far.

Waiting for a Stellar Blade sale

Definitely the best looking limited edition PS5 controller! Great details all round.

Has anyone tried a leverless controller like a Razer Kitsune?
Or should I go for a traditional fightstick (which I am already used to) ??

I have my eyes on the Nacon Daija for PS5, but I like the artwork on the Razer Kitsune - Cammy edition.

Super expensive accessories though...

No Final Fantasy XVI or Remnant II in the top 40!! Shocking.

As a person who's hands sweat excessively when gaming, this is a big NO from me.

I play 3rd party games on my Xbox just because I prefer the controller and the user interface (instant on / no copying of data after updating), and my PS5 is just for the exclusives.

I may switch back to PS5 though just because of where I live (Kuwait). The market is dominated by Playstation, so the physical copy availability of games and the resell / trade-in values are significantly higher for PS5 over Xbox.

Valkyrie Elysium deluxe edition... Is it worth it guys? I own Valkyrie Profile Lenneth on the PSP but have not played that either.

So many games in the backlog at the moment! January and February have been packed with titles I want to play. Currently balancing between Midnight Suns, Crisis Core Reuinion, Atomic Heart, and a few days ago I beat Spogebob Cosmic Shake (such a great game btw) and the average-but-fun Wanted: Dead.

Then you have Hogwarts Legacy, One Piece Odyssey, Fire Emblem Engage...

Wayyyyy too many good games have released in such a short time frame! Great year so far

8/10 after beating it. Great game!

Ratchet and Clank is still the definitive PS5 experience for me.

Balancing between GoW Ragnarok, Bayonetta 3, and wrecking people in the face with zero attachment SMGs in MWII

Happy gaming everyone.

I was honestly disappointed with Horizon Forbidden West, and even God of War Ragnarok as I'm playing it now. They do not capture the magic of the 1st two games in their series.

It's weird I actually beat and enjoyed both Neon White and Gran Turismo 7 more than Sony's biggest two titles, but to each their own as they say.

Have yet to dive into Elden Ring though. As much as I enjoy them, the Souls games always give me anxiety before and during playthroughs!

A REALLY good DC game. The only issue I have is that it's not worth the 70 dollars asking price.

If you are a DC comics fan, you must play this game, but only when you can get it for cheaper.

Also, Red Hood is the best character to play as

8/10

I actually enjoyed this one a lot, played on a PS4 Pro at the time, it was short but sweet!

But Spencer is also fighting for his customers right, or is it a one way street? @DefiledViper

I honestly believe if Sony had the money, they would be the ones to buy Activision Blizzard...

Yes I agree it's not at the same level of a timed exclusive / exclusive perks / paying to keep a specific franchise off the other platform, like Sony has constantly done recently, but the head (or heads) of Sony really deserve this for pretending to be the ''good guys'' over the past few years.

They have never been 'pro gaming' just 'pro Playstation'. Business is business at the end of the day.

I definitely prefer the Xbox controller especially for longer gaming sessions. If only the made the d-pad less crunchier/noisier.

I'm hoping for a little discount on Dying Light 2 deluxe edition, maybe the Spring sale in April at the earliest?

@Gamer83 If 83 is referring to your year of birth, I completely understand 89 here, but I do enjoy the occasional online match once in a while.

@Gamer83 how's the player base, as in time to find online matches?

Ghostrunner is a decent game though.

Beat the game (without the credits / secret ending) so does that count??

Anyway, I give it an 8/10. Great game but definitely VERY difficult.

Beat the last boss last night, very good game! Not going to be replaying it for the true ending though, it was stressful enough

FFXIV Endwalker and a side of Valorant.
Also need to get back to Ys IX Monstrum Nox as I left it about 50% into the main campaign.

I'm very happy with the 20 hours length! Now to wait for the reviews

@Boucho11
I walked into Game yesterday here in the UK, and passed by the Xbox section. Guess which game was displayed in the best sellers chart...

Was hooked on Genshin Impact for about 6 hours yesterday! Made it to adventure rank 15.

Vanguard's multiplayer is actually addictive and fantastic. So much hate for this game, but it will keep selling anyway!

I beat Guardians of the Galaxy (amazing) and Far Cry 6 (it was ok) recently, and now will be messing around in Call of Duty Vanguard's multiplayer, and a bit of Forza Horizon 5.

I still need to play through Shadowbringers this month!! @TraCuz-

Looking forward to playing Guardians of the Galaxy! I am currently playing Far Cry 6 but it is just not clicking for me... I am about 1/3 of the way? Personally I find it to be one of the weaker entries in the series. Far Cry 3 is still the benchmark

There is a RIDICILOUS amount of single player content in this game @Jtheripper

Better than some of the mainstream releases!!

Started off sooooo well until you reach the 2nd half... Left a REALLY bad impression after an amazing start.

6.5/10.

Lost Judgment, with some Hot Wheels Unleashed on the side

I really want to start collecting hot wheels now, especially the gaming (Street Fighter V + Overwatch) character editions.

Should have been MK11 at this point! Not a great month to be honest.

I played and beat it yesterday, took me about 10 hours total maybe?
You don't have to make notes, the game gives you a series of objectives to go through so you're never lost, but there is plenty of room for experimentation and optional side quests.

8/10 for me, definitely not a 10. Also, I think Dishonored 2 is the better game overall

Edit: I notice a lot of people comparing it to Prey here, I played that and absolutely hated it!!

I agree Sammy, especially with the God of War footage looking like an expansion DLC, but we shall see I guess.

Only a few announcements got me excited, and all of them are years away from releasing.

I have been addicted to Valorant on PC for the past week....

Also been playing a bit of Returnal and I made it to the 3rd biome. It's really good, and the fact that you can skip bosses you've beaten already is great!

''and will presumably sell out in seconds'' ..

Ain't that the truth!

12 hours is PERFECT. The price needs to come down a bit though.

Playstation Studios confirmed it's coming to PS4 too, along with GT7.

Makes sense since PS5s are still hard to find, but I hope this is NOT them telling us that we will keep struggling to buy a PS5 deep into 2022!

Can't wait for this. Will be playing on PS4 Pro unless I get my hands on a PS5 before then.

Miles Morales ran great on it, so I'm hoping this will be the same!

Played all 3. Loved 2 the most.

I don't replay games so remasters don't interest me at all, except for Tony Hawk!

I check every now and then and have rarely seen it in stock in the UK. I am not desperate for one at the moment, but I think if I do find it in stock I'll pull the trigger because it could get even harder to find when Ratchet drops.

@Flaming_Kaiser made me chuckle! haha

I preferred the fluid gameplay and variety of Vanquish over Binary Domain. I didn't find this one to be really that interesting especially with enemy designs.

In Kuwait (where I'm from) it is priced similarly to everywhere else in the world = approx $550

Sony needs to intervene as this is clearly 'local markup' by the corrupt authorities of Egypt.

More than DOUBLE the flipping price...

Edit: Even scalpers are selling it for cheaper!!

Best fighting game alongside Injustice 2.

The only real issue is if you already deleted the PS4 version, expecting to download the PS5 version later to continue your save, and then realising you have to redownload the PS4 version again just to migrate the save over.

I assume some people fell into this category and are complaining about it on social media.

I didn't think it was a big deal until I realised you need to have both PS4 and PS5 versions installed, to upload on one and then download on the other.

I was never a fan of the PS4 save system anyway. It always feels to have extra steps with an extra window, just like the old PS3 days. So hopefully they can work on this on the next PS5 firmware update to make it smoother.
