I can see how that wouldn't be for everyone, I'll stick it in the maybe list.

@kyleforrester87

Had a quick read on it, looks like they removed boss fights and shooting. Sounds like quite a different beast, unexpected.

Great so far, curious to see what they do with Yoshimitsu this time round.

Really excited to get stuck into this, glad the rumours were true. Nice to read they have a decent budget for it.

@KidBoruto

It sounds like it's a reboot, here's the story set up:

Story Overview
A mysterious new substance was discovered on the remote planet, Rubicon 3. As an energy source, this substance was expected to dramatically advance humanity’s technological and communications capabilities. Instead, this substance caused a catastrophe that engulfed the planet and the surrounding stars in flames and storms, forming a Burning Star System.

Almost half a century later, the same substance resurfaced on Rubicon 3, a planet now contaminated and sealed off by the catastrophe.

Extra-terrestrial corporations and resistance groups fight over control of the substance. The player infiltrates Rubicon as an independent mercenary and finds themself in a struggle over the substance with the corporations and other factions.

First I've heard of this. A shame it's only newsworthy now it's too late to back it. Interesting to hear about it, anyway.

This is from the mastermind that created Dead Space and no doubt deserves to be successful. And of course it's a new adventure. Best of luck to Glen and his team.

I actually have to walk through a house of mirrors each time I need to visit my local bakery, so these comments hit me pretty hard.

I think I'll wait for the 8k remaster before jumping back in.

From what I've read, if you can survive the rather poor effort at graphics, this game is something quite special and well worth looking at. Any chance of a Pushsquare review down the line?

@LiamCroft
Some people try to be as hurtful as possible within the boundaries of what they think they can get away with. I'm sorry you have to suffer that.

Personally, I found the article to be informative and helpful, as someone who tends to wait for sales and patches before buying. Cheers.

Wow, so many of these comments feel really personal, so many lashing out as someone doesn't love a game that they love. It's really sad to see.

I remember playing LED Storm back on the Atari ST, great fun, but it wasn't easy!

I'd love to play it on Playstation but we will see what happens.

@ralphdibny true, I was quite surprised as well. I'm pretty good, thanks matey. Enjoying a short weekend holiday at the moment. How are you?

@ralphdibny makes sense! I'm all about the sales. £50 is pretty steep.

I'm definintely no fighting game pro, but this looks like a fun collection, actually quite tempting. Might be one for @ralphdibny

Less filler would be nice. The 'puzzles' where you had to pick stuff up with giant hands for example were not fun and I would have happily skipped the warehouse with the trains all the ghosts in it, too. Some areas dragged on for far too long.

Love this game, I was considering playing again, now I really must. What a brilliant soundtrack.

Will these expansions ever stop!? Definitely going to give this a try at some point.

With the hatred of women this company has continuously been shown to have over the years, I really don't think I would feel at all comfortable playing any of their games now.

@Th3solution
That's fair, I often go with the buy it later when it's been patched plan. Good idea with this game, as good as it is, I'm not convinced it's been properly optimised for the ps5 yet what with all the pop up in busier areas.

@Th3solution
That is interesting! Now that is proper old school difficulty. The last Armored Core game they made had a perma death mode for the campaign which had to be completed in order to obtain the plat. That was certainly an experience.

I usually summon for help randomly but decided on my first playthrough of the Demon's Souls remaster to do it all solo just see if I could. Managed ok but then I did grab the really good sword as early as possible so that helped.

@Th3solution
Well put as always. But these games have always encouraged players to summon assistance if they are having difficulty, it's fair to say that is the easy mode, depending on who is helping you.

I understand not everyone wishes to play the game that way, but that's the way it's been designed.
The artist is very keen for his vision of a cruel, unforgiving world to show through and doesn't want the integrity of that vision compromised at all. Many are saying they don't want that experience, and that's fair enough, it's probably not the game for them.

And it's important to remember, that the game isn't meant to be for everyone. A product designed for everyone is unlikely to be very interesting for anyone after all.

I wonder what other creative works has so many making demands about what is and isn't included by the creators. Should be an easy mode for all books as well, surely? Don't be using any big words now, or the angry Internet will be after you.

Ah yes, Tifa the thief. Always stealing things that Tifa. What an absolute kleptomaniac!!!

Looks excellent. Not expecting one but I do agree, a physical release would be nice for this.

What are the odds that this one will be always online?

Castlevania Requiem is down to £3.99

@get2sammyb
A few of the links for rating games are broken on my phone such as for Hyper Light Drifter, Axiom Verge & Super Time Force Ultra.

Will be interesting to see how long these contracts run for. Might give Sony a bit of breathing room to soften the blow a bit. Call of Duty won't be the most popular online shooter forever.

Put a few hours into this over the last couple of days, great fun. I love the atmosphere as you descent deeper into the darkness, trying to survive the monster swarms.

That mad dash to the exit can often be really exciting as well. Don't get left behind!
Has a bit of that Helldivers DNA, but this is definitely easier to play and more enjoyable overall.

Sounds like this is arriving a bit earlier than I was expecting. Nice to see an exclusive Horizon game on there, but you know it's really all about the Astrobot fun times. I know they will make a game for it that no one else can.

@Jacko11
Hi Ken!

This is the best ps+ month in a long long time for me. I'm planning to download and play all three of these. Usually I don't download any!

I really like discord. I've joined some like minded, very friendly communities and have even made a few friends, meeting up with people through it. No doubt experiences will vary of course. The voice chat quality is superb, even when speaking to people on the other side of the world.

I've spied some good deals, here's a few of them.

Blasphemous is down to £5, never seen it that cheap before.
Overcooked 2 is £5.
Huntdown is £6.39 (highly recommended.)
Turrican is 40% off.
Frostpunk is 70% off.
Stellaris 75% off.
Star Renegades is 50% off £9.99
Gynoug which was reviewed here the other day is down to £3.49

@get2sammyb
you and me, both. Doesn't feel that long ago I was stuck into my PSP games.

You always knew when you saw Psygnosis flash up on the screen you were about to play something really special. What an absolute legend.

Great to see these retro games making a return, excited to see what we might get next, so many forgotten classics out there.

"I do still like collecting the trinkets, and I still get the dopamine rush when I hear that iconic jingle, but I don’t feel beholden to them anymore." is pretty much where I'm at as well.

I'll occassionally hunt down a fun plat here and there but if it looks like work rather than fun, then I'll happily move onto the next game.

Loved the original Tomb Raider, 2nd game was great as well. Would love to see a remaster one day. The team went onto make Project Eden on the PS2 after that. Good fun, lots of fun puzzles.

Thor will be no pushover. Going by the mythology, he's stronger than any of the Greek Gods.

@Shepherd_Tallon
Can't say I've ever gone along with that line of logic. And it's worth remembering those good folk are being hurt by the company already.

They won't be getting any money from me. Well done to the employees for taking a stand against such awful behaviour.

@Kidfried
Just the sort of meaningless corporate bs they're expected to say in this scenario I suppose. Trying to persuade people that what's happened is definitely a good thing.

Let's hope it's released on the Jaguar as well, that console needs some love!

The real star of the show will of course be Quina with those pearls of wisdom.
"World only have two things: Things you can eat and things you no can eat"

Sounds intriguing. I hope we're not playing an entirely silent protagonist if they're looking to tell a strong narrative.

Mass Effect allows you to create a character but with quality voice acting. For me, that's the most effective way of doing it. That would be ideal but I'm sure it will be great fun either way.

Ha, no actual numbers, how embarrassing. Still trying to hide what's going on, not a good look.
