@AstraeaV ye it's really strange. I tried two times to get into it (each try was about 4-6 hours long). I really want to like this game, the manual and the exploration are really cool.

@Dr_Luigi for me it wasn't the difficulty but- well I actually don't know what. On paper I should really love this game. It actually annoys me that I failed to get into it 2x!

Played this when it came to Xbox. Loved parts of it like the manual but for some reason I kept bouncing off this which is strange, Seems right up my alley.

@nomither6 Same. The last fighting game I played was super smash Bros ultimate, but the last traditional fighting game I played was soulcalibur 6 so it's been a good while for me. Really feeling the need to play one now!

9! Not my highest but better than the last few I’ve done.

@Rob_230 ye I thought the whole space people arc felt really out of place for me too.
Frozen wilds is peak horizon for me. Hopefully if they do another quality expansion like that they'll make it stand alone as my copies been lent to someone and.... Ye I'm not seeing that again!

@jrt87 2023 does look 🔥
My Ps5 is being neglected at the moment but street fighter 6, Tekken 8, Re4 and Stellar Blade will fix that! (Until they get delayed 😅)

@jrt87 unfortunately I struggled with this one too. 22 hours I put in before I felt like I had my fill. There where good moments, and they all included Aloy going up against lots of big machines in pretty difficult fights but when that wasn't happening it felt a bit mundane for me.

Can't complain with free content!
I hadn't heard of this series before this game was revealed and the demo really surprised me. I think I'll be picking this up but it might have to wait until next year. As with many people I have too many games on the go as it is with many more soon to release 😅
If I had at the very least finished xenoblade 3 by now (which I haven't, far from it....) I might have gone for it now. Love the concept and combat 👍

Seems cool enough. We don't get ultra violent games that much now outside of the usuals (doom and mortal Kombat, even god of war is tame compared to what it was) and I do like my dark fantasy so I've got my eye on this one. But obviously it's just CGI so it's hard to get too excited.
Might check out the book though, if there's a good English version anyways.

9. Still not good enough!

The games I’m keeping an eye out for on ps5 are Stellar Blade, Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, Resident Evil 4, Final Fantasy 16/7-2, Forspoken, Exoprimal, Sea of Stars, Pragmata, Lightfall, Wo Long, Suicide Squad, Ac Mirage and Silksong If it’s out next year.
Outside of PlayStation it’s Tears of the Kingdom, Engage and Pikmin 4.

That's a big plus! In terms of gameplay I felt unity was the best in the franchise. Really wish they built of that game more and it looks like they are with mirage.

I haven't played Dino crisis so I guess I'm looking at this for what it is as oppose to what it isn't. And I think it looks like a fun time. Very crazy and not at all grounded! Not sure if I'll be buying it, suppose when it comes out and the general mood surrounding it will determine that. Next year looks stacked much like this year.

I guess I'm in the minority that prefers the first person, the third person in the video looks clunkier and less atmospheric. But I'm still probably going to get all this because VIIlage is awesome 😅
The question is do I get this for my series s where I already have the game or so I RE-get it all for my Ps5 🤔

Stellar blade for me. Looks like a very ps2 gen action game and I'm all for it. Can't wait to play that.
God of war is looking good. I'm still personally concerned with some elements of it but hopefully it'll turn out great.
Rise of the Ronin looks like a cooler Tsushima to me. Looking forward to seeing more.
Tekken 8 just looks sick!

8.... I seem to be getting worse at these....

@MFTWrecks i was expecting that (stupidly) before it got announced and was only rumoured.
I would have also gladly taken a new story thrown in on the scale of left behind, Nintendo has done this with many of its rereleases (mario 3d world, Xeno 1, mario kart 8 etc.) and I think that would have been awesome here.

@Atreus97 well said! Couldn't agree more.

5.... My worst score yet!

Brit Baker ❤️
The game itself doesn't look too bad. I'm not a graphics afisionado so definitely not a deal breaker for me. Looks like it could be a fun pick up and play style game for switch (provided they actually polish that version)

I don’t have plus but this looks to be a very good month! I imagine a lot of the attention will go to Yakuza and Tony Hawks (no problem with that) but don’t forget Little Nightmares people!
I had that game on gold about a year and a half ago and tried it on a whim. It turned out amazing, so much so that I bought the dlc (which I almost never do these days) and of course it’s sequel that somehow upped the ante (my personal goty of 2021)

I’ve arrived at the final boss of Xenoblade chronicles 3d. I would have never guessed I’d play my second most played 3ds game in 2022.
Once I’m done with that I think I’ll return to tunic, really enjoyed what I played of it but it has been a week or two, I hope I won’t have to restart….

My psp didn’t have much of a life. I bought it about a week before the vita was announced which was just my luck…
But I played some good games on it, the best in my opinion being Peace Walker.
Runners up would be the two god of war games with Chains of Olympus bring my favourite of the two (just), persona 3 portable which got me into the series and…. Ye. That’s about it. Looking forward to trying crisis core though.

The Callisto Protocol. I’m a big dead space 1 and 2 fan and whilst I hope it will differentiate itself a bit more from its inspiration it sure does look good!
Stray, don’t know what it is really but that’s a plus in this day and age. Looks cool regardless.
I got my fingers crossed for Steel rising but I don’t have enough faith in it yet. Same goes for little devil inside.
A Plaques tale 2 of course, though that will be an Xbox game for me.
I’m looking forward to Forspoken and God of war but I got a unfortunate gut feeling neither will win me over in the end.

Ye like hell I'm getting to all of this! So I'm gonna have to be picky. Calisto protocol is out in December if it doesn't get delayed and I'm not convinced dead space needs a remake so I'll scratch ds off for now.
Don't know if I need two final fantasy's (especially as another launches this year) so I'll pick which ever one looks better.
Persona 3 and 4, played them to death! Street fighter 6.... Ye I can't let that one go (unless they pull their ads trick again).

I got this game and played it for 35 hours or so... Barely made any progress in the story because of how much I just enjoyed the world. But my usual 'spending too much time doing pointless stuff in the open world' montra got me again and I felt the burnout on it. I've tried going back a few times but it just didn't feel as good then. Don't regret those 35 hours though!

10. I'm kind of annoyed, I rushed it a bit, some of the ones I got wrong I should have known damn it!!!

Stuff like persona I think is fine the way it is. The games I'd like to see get upgrades are Bloodborne (faster loading more than anything, 60fps would also be welcome), The Last Guardian could use the help with the Frame drops, gravity rush 2 as well but also greater draw distance for that one.
Red Dead Redemption 2 would be cool if they really went for it instead of Rockstars more recent next gen upgrades...

I really loved it when it first came out but as times gone on and my tastes in games have altered a bit I’ve mellowed out on it quite a lot. I’m even preferring the originals these day, especially 1, 3, and the PSP ones.
I did enjoy the endgame a lot though, and story time with mimir was always a blast, but I didn’t feel the story (particularly Kratos’s story arc) gelled that well and ended very anti climatically for me (the arc, not so much the game). The axe was awesome but was really under utilised. And the world had way to much slow walking and climbing. Would have rathered the visuals take a hit than all the hidden loading. Once the cinematics faded away (the one shot camera was a gimmick!) and the world opened up in the endgame things got much better. The valkarie fights where a highlight.
8/10 from me. PS4 Sony games I’d put above are Resogun, Bloodborne, Gravity Rush 2, The Last Guardian and Uncharted 4

@OrtadragoonX It was actually my first final fantasy game (and I think my first jrpg besides Pokémon) so I was kind of blown away by it at the time, hadn't experience anything like it. But now that I've played many, many more games like it I'm scared to go back to it and ruin those innocent memories 😅

One of two final fantasy's I actually finished (13 was the other.... I know). I'm not certain I'd get a remake though, more excited for 7 part two considering I never finished the original version, that and they've actually started that so I'd like that be the priority for them. But none the less cool for those who want it.

@Porco to be fair you don't have to look far to see gamers asking repeatedly for ports and remakes (wind waker for switch for example, or final fantasy 7 for all those many years). Can't really blame publishers for giving the people what they want but I do agree with wanting more risky AAA games.
Even though I wasn't a fan of death stranding I do respect it for trying something, more games that try something different would be great, demon's souls did it and created a whole new sub genre after all.

@Dodoo I agree, forward and onwards!

Depends on the game. I'd rather old, more dated games get remakes than personal favourites however. Something like legacy of Kain would be perfect for me, it's a series that looks kick ass but by the time I got around to it it was too far gone.
For personal favourites usually I'd just prefer a port (or access via backwards compat)

Moss is one of those series I really hope gets a vr2 version (or is backwards compatible), looks really cool. Hope I get to try it some day.

I seem to be stuck around 11 out of 15 in these quizes, can't seem to do better than that!

@LN78 it's one of the last 'proper' games in the sense that almost every other game after that became a massive open world RPG (very similar to the Witcher 3). I personally prefer the older style but a lot of people would say otherwise.
It's recreation of Paris is something special, especially the buildings which for the first time in the series where all made to scale with the real ones. Gives it all a sense of scale that works well with its parkour. You'll definitely get your 3 quids worth 👍

@LN78 that's a good deal. In my opinion it's got the best gameplay (with fighting, stealth and parkour) of the entire series. And the city of Paris they've created I imagine had held up really well visually. The side content got tiresome (there was so much of it) and the story I felt could have done with one more draft but overall one of the better games in the series. Hope you enjoy

55 hours into elden ring so far and I think I've only seen maybe about half the map. Very rare do I play a game this big that keeps itself interesting and exciting this deep in. I think they've outdone themselves.
Giving legends Arceus a break after completing the story, finally switching (😃) to pikmin 3. Only a little into it so far but it's got a very unique charm to it. Early impressions say I'll enjoy the challenge mode more than the story as I'm looking forward to replaying particular missions over and over for better scores.

Ico, I've replayed both the last guardian and shadow of the collosus in recent years but I haven't played ico since the PS3 days, I'd like the fix that even if it's not the remastered version.
Wouldn't mind some pre demon souls from software games showing up, big fan of their souls games but haven't given their previous work a go yet.
The Metal gear solid saga would be a plus (remastering 4 would be very welcome so I wouldn't have to stream it)

I remember finally caving and buying a psp a week before the vita was announced (which had backwards compat with it). So I didn't really spend much time with it, and most of the games I did play from it I played on vita.
Persona 3 portable, both God of wars and peace walker are my favourites (obvious answers I know)

10 outta 15! I'll take it 👍

@Conor_Mcleod you're not alone 👍 a co-op dinosaur game from capcom sounds great

One of the greats, it's a shame sky (despite trying it twice) couldn't grab me as much despite having a great concept. Still journey is more than worth a play as many here have said.

Hell yes 10/15! I think that's my best score yet!

@Nyne11Tyme usually I like doing a similar thing to you but with the amount of 'must buys' for me squashed into the first half of this year some will just have to slip through the cracks until I have time/budget. Would have loved to support this game otherwise.

This game looks/sounds awesome and I wish I could support it at launch, but there's too many games right now I just couldn't delay getting. Looking forward to playing this probably summer time I reckon alongside the witch queen and Kirby.

The vita always felt like the console that should have been my favourite of all time but ended up being a bit disappointing (didn't get it's own God of war, gran turismo or metal gear...) Not without some good memories though.
Gravity rush is the definition of a flawed gem. One of my favourites ever. I originally bought it thinking it'll do as I wait for a vita infamous (which we never got) but ended up being much better than it.
Tearaway was one of the few games that made all the gimmicks of the vita make sense. Kind of felt like the vita was made with this game mind, such talented Devs.
Persona 3 portable/ 4 golden I was hesitant about. Really didn't think a school SIM game would be up my alley but nothing else of value was releasing so I went for it, borderline got addicted to them! Not sure they would connect to me as much if I played them today, but I'll have the good memories of playing them.
Honourable mentions would go to Giacamelee, Wipeout, escape plan, Rayman origins/legends, sound shapes, all stars battle royale, dragons crown and I'm struggling to think of anything else unfortunately.

11 out of 15! And for once most of my answers weren't guesses! I'm so proud!
