It is a 7.5 for me, I prefer the action heavy Jedi games but this definitely has it's place, I am really loving it and Nix is awesome. The world is great to explore and get lost in, I mean it is only a matter of time before Sabacc gets it's own mobile game. The game needs a mini map, having to pause to see a map in 2024 is ridiculous! But then again the map in Jedi was also atrocious so maybe it's a Star Wars thing 🤷♂️
@breakneck Glad you enjoyed it buddy, I did something similar and platinumed Prince of Persia The Lost Crown to kill time prior to Outlaws coming out and it ended up easily being one of my GOTY!
I want to start Astrobot but I am deep into Outlaws which I am really enjoying, loads to do, I have no idea when I will get to Space Marine 2. 1st world problems and that!
@breakneck I loved getting the Robocop platinum, brilliant game, captures the feel of the movie really well. happy gaming everyone
@LiamCroft You had me with that headline, I thought they had actually confirmed a proper new game! Great for those who haven't jumped in and a must for VR customers (the few of us).
Mech is a bit meh but sound tracks are cool, really want that PS1 design Dualsense though!!!
@get2sammyb Cool article thanks Sammy, I still remember getting that SF2 Turbo on the SNES, it was in a purple box if I remember right and yep it was £79.99 in the nineties, worth every penny though My Smash TV import was pricey too, making me remember when game shops were good with cheesy names, ours was called Level 1!!
Yes I am and I am really enjoying it, only about 4 hours in but so far so good, think I prefer Jedi Survivour but a bit early to tell, Nix is great too!
@Lup 100% mate, I have it pre-ordered but didn't go as far as paying extra for early access but only because I am Northern and tight 😂 I can't wait to play it, less than 24 hours for me now
@naruball @riceNpea both great examples for me I would also have to shout out that final scene in TT Walking Dead Season 1 between Lee & Clementine - heartbreaking!
Continuing my platinum journey for Prince of Persia Lost Crown but struggling getting back with the parrot for Treasures of the 7 Seas, awesome game though!! Maybe a bit of Walkabout Golf too.
Prince of Persia the Lost Crown for me, superb game, some real tricky platforming in parts which can be frustrating but it always feels fair, loving it.
Really enjoyed this game but not enough to pay to play it again, it doesn't really make sense but they do have a film coming out so no doubt want to try and cash in on that like TLOU & Fallout did with their series.
This game is excellent, or it was for sure. The constant nerfs just didn't make sense, it is a game that is advertised as being overpowered and it is PvE so there should be no issue if players want to blitz missions efficiently I just really do not understand why they want to take the fun out of it! Such a shame, with the exception of the Orbital Rail strike most peoples load outs were pretty varied and not 4 people with the same gear every time so why bother, everyone was having fun.
Yep, the cast is pretty bad but that age rating is the big killer here, how can a Borderlands movie be PG-13 (smh). As has been pointed out, an animated film could have been excellent!
@Kraven Hi buddy, it is a great game and the platinum was pretty straight forward. You will need a play through in Scottish Gaelic but you can do this on your 1st go, you still get English vocals, just signs and subtitles are all Gaelic. Other than that pretty straight forward plat, don't forget to look at the dead body to the right before the staircase after Finnley gives you the lighter. Games about 3 hours long if you need to speed run another play through holding down sprint.
Having got my platinum for Still Wakes the Deep, I am about 2 hours into Prince of Persia Lost Crown, excellent so far, pretty challenging but in a good way, it just flows so well!
@Northern_munkey Brilliant game, one of my favourite films of all time and definitely one of the surprise games of the 23' for me, proper B movie fun! Get well soon buddy!
It is a brilliant game and I love it, played everyday since launch up until about a month ago. They nerfed too much & it all got a bit samey so I left to chip away at the backlog. I might jump back in when the illuminati come back but for now I am done.
If you haven't played it, I do recommend it, loads of fun and reinvigorated my love for multiplayer!! Definitely in my Top 5 this year.
Thanks Liam, I can't wait for this, it's pre-ordered, sounds much more positive than the last demo, as a Star Wars fan I have no doubt I will love it 👍
@LimitedPower At less than $200 PSVR1 is a decent deal but if you could I would hang on till you can grab the 2nd.
Some great games & experiences on VR1 with Ace Combat, Star Wars Squadrons, Moss, Astrobot, Arizona Sunshine, Walking Dead, Beat Sabre etc but the 2nd iteration is leagues ahead and the controllers are fantastic, a few games available on PS extra now too so you will have some games to go at if you subscribe.
As others have said RE & GT7 are worth the entry price alone but there are many many great games, I don't regret buying mine and looking forward to Metro and Behemoth!
I jest, great for those that love it and to be fair I would play a UK grass roots football game no doubt.
Absolutely loved Madden on the Mega Drive thinking I was cool doing Hail Mary's and stuff but in reality I had zero idea about what I was doing with all the plays but great times indeed!
I am being drawn in by Space Marine so will no doubt end up picking that one up now too but I am really looking forward to SW Outlaws, Astrobot and Alan Wake 2 all pre-ordered!!
Having been abroad for a couple of weeks so my Vita has been getting some love, finished Batman Blackgate and a good chunk of the rage inducing Super Monkey Ball!! The Vita was excellent Back to big screen gaming now though and I am on Still Wakes the Deep. Brilliant game in a brilliant setting, Rennick is hilarious.
I think it should be an option for those that use it especially if the Dualsense is good for it but I tried it and failed miserably, don't like it on the switch either just doesn't feel natural to me and I'm an inverter 😂
The days are longer (light wise) so I spend more time outside than in the winter. Golfing, cycling, motorbiking everything I can't enjoy in the dark, still game most days once the sun goes down
Will definitely check this one out, would love a physical copy which would have made it day 1 but I'll catch up with it at some point, currently on Still Wakes the Deep and it's fantastic so far!
@Don_Corleone I suspect you might be referring to the legend that is @nessisonett !! Apologies if not, the smoking hair is from Eraserhead
I am off on my hols today so it will be Vita only for a couple of weeks, I am going to take Batman Blackgate, Super Monkey Ball and Ratchet & Clank Trilogy!
@OldGamer999 Yeah I am a bit gutted about this too, I really don't like playing 2 games at once and want to give SW my full attention so it may be that I get Astro day one but don't play it until further down the line. Doesn't help the back log!!
@Khayl Holy cr*p, nightmare fuel right there. I would have dropped dead on the spot. I let my son keep snakes (only corn snakes) in the house no worries but 8 legged freaks are a complete no go!!!! Appreciate the article though buddy, great for those with love for the little critters 👍
I still play it most days, it is an absolute blast, still throws up those unbelievable moments and the PS community is excellent just needs a bit of mixing up. As others have mentioned a horde mode and new faction would bring players back for sure.
This game reignited my passion for multiplayer games, it is brilliant!
Not sure if I am millennial or not (born in 80' but I do have fond memories of Dexters Laboratory & the Powder Puff Girls (awesome tunes in PPG) hence I might have to pick this one up.
@ShogunRok do you know if there are any plans for physical? I know its dying but I'm old school!!

Re: Japan Sales Charts: PS5 Finally Hits 6 Million, Gundam Breaker 4 and Visions of Mana Make Top 10
Pleased to see Outlaws make a mark if only a small one, will be interesting to see where Astrobot charts over there!
I'm really tempted by Breakers 4 having read the review on here!
BTW that game at #2 sounds like something off shooting stars!!

Re: Deals: Sony Goes for the Jugular with Humongous PS5, PSVR2 Discounts in USA
@LimitedPower Yeah it is a shame for such good games not to come over, not sure of the US price but here in the UK the PSVR1 is less than £100 and at that price it is well worth a punt. https://www.amazon.co.uk/PlayStation-9827054-Sony-VR/dp/B00I9WWBCQ
