There’s plenty of amazing games on PS5, but my favorite was always Astro’s Playroom. It’s rare that we get a lighthearted, genuine, and fun game like this these days. Not to mention, we don’t get nearly as many platformers, especially not ones that I can say are GotY contenders. This game has replaced Playroom for me, I’m having such an amazing time with this game. It’s like NES/Sega days combined with 360/PS2 days but with a modern twist.

FFVIII is still one of my least favorite FF games, I went back to it last year and that opinion stayed firm.

This guy is ridiculous. Respectfully, Days Gone was not that good and Deacon was such a bland, boring character. Maybe if you want your character to stand out, make an interesting character. Astro Bot is a far better game than Days Gone and he’s just upset that it’s getting more accolades, which are very much deserved.

Astro Bot and I’m loving every second of it! I’m also squeezing in a bit of Visions of Mana on Steam Deck when my kids take over my PS5.

I’ve only spent an hour with it, so far, but I can already say there’s a good chance this will be my GotY. I was smiling like an idiot the entire time and loving every second of it and its charm.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this was my GotY, currently it’s Stellar Blade, but I think I’ll enjoy this more.

One of the easiest 10s I’ve ever played

I’m so hyped for tomorrow!

I got to squeeze in a bit of It Takes Two with my wife and after everyone went to bed I sunk in a couple of hours in Star Wars Outlaws.

@DennisReynolds I’m right there with you. Not that I play them a ton but they’re always a good time and familiar when I do.

@DennisReynolds I started it today and I completely agree. It’s nothing spectacular, but I didn’t expect that or necessarily want that, I just wanted a good fun time, so far, that’s what it’s delivering.

I’m about an hour and a half in and I’m really enjoying it. There’s a few things they could have tweaked or done better that I’ve noticed, but overall I’m having fun.

I know I’m in the minority on this, but I’m still REALLY looking forward to this. I never expected more than a 6 or 7, but sometimes I want that kind of game. I don’t always need a FFXVI or GoW war style game, at times it’s nice to just sit back with an average rated game to kill some time.

I may grab it for Steam Deck, but I definitely want to check it out.

I’ll definitely grab this, I never got to finish it because my controller started acting up and I just never went back to it. This game has one of my favorite random lines in a game, “Did you just swear vengeance against a door?”

I’m looking forward to it, regardless of mixed reviews. I’m more than happy with a solid 7 average, which most people tend to forget is still good and above average.

I played some of Dead Space Remake. Also, my in-laws have the kids for the weekend, so my wife and I ordered a nice dinner and laid in bed playing It Takes Two for about six hours. What an incredible game. Plus, it was just great having that time with just my wife, even if it’s a strange theme for that exact moment. 😂

I rarely dabble in multiplayer games so this is a hard pass for me.

I just got an email last night about resubscribing. Ridiculous.

No. Just no.

Also, no.

This was a day one for me the moment it was announced. I already have it pre-ordered. My kids and I are extremely excited for this game.

Played some Sekiro and I’ve been cleaning up odds and ends in Astro’s Playroom. I can’t wait for Astro Bot!

The more I see of this the less interested I am in it, but I’m hoping to be proven wrong.

Still my least favorite in From’s catalog of Soulsborne games. My opinion has changed significantly on Sekiro since release though. Sekiro went from a game I didn’t like at all but I thought had great combat mechanics, to a game that I think has the best sword fighting in video games and has become a game in my top five of all time.

I’m so excited that we aren’t losing such a creative studio.

@Kanji-Tatsumi this wins as my favorite comment in a while, gave me a good laugh.

On Steam Deck I squeezed in a bit of Sekiro last night. Then, after the kids went to bed, I started Kumitsu-Gami Path of the Goddess on Game Pass. PotG is very much a “just one more round” kind of game, I played four or five levels after only intending to play one, I’m really loving it so far.

It’s really great looking but I don’t need one

2 is easily my favorite, I loved 1 as, but was so disappointed in 3 and the Pre-sequel.

I’ve never played these but I picked up all three for about $20 on Steam. I’m looking forward to finally giving them a try.

Batman or nothing!

I finally beat Genichiro in Sekiro and made my way through Senpou Temple, so on to the next area.

Nothing, I’m on a nice relaxing vacation with the family. If I’m not sleeping I’ll play Sekiro on Steam Deck, but that’s the only way I’ll be gaming.

Sorry ladies, but this was already my most anticipated game at this point. Your services are appreciated but not needed.

@Bunchesopuppies it’s been quite a while since I’ve played them, but doesn’t Defiance wrap the story?

Please, please, please be true!

Give it to Colin and let him make his dream game!

@themightyant I know it’s for charity, and that’s fantastic, but I still wish I had that kind of money.

Man, I wish I had so much money that I could spend $15,000 on a poster.

I haven’t tried the demo yet, but I grabbed it for Steam Deck. If I like it I might grab it on there, I have Game Pass, but I want to support studios doing weird games like this.

I’m still working my way through Shadow of the Erdtree, but because I hate myself, I’m also playing Sekiro on Steam Deck.

This game was never for me, but I hope it’s good for others who are into multiplayer games.

Stellar Blade is my game of the year so far. I thought it’d be FFVII Rebirth but all of the mini games just ruin the otherwise great game for me.

Astro was my number one, follwed by Star Wars Outlaws, and The Plucky Squire

@bestuardo I’m with you on that, I’m all for summoning. The devs put it in there so I’m ok with using it!

I’m mostly focusing on Shadow of the Erdtree. I had bought the Kimgdom Hearts Collection on Steam but it was almost unplayable on Steam Deck with how much it kept freezing. I returned it and ordered the Metal Gear Solid Collection and Hogwarts Legacy instead. I fired up MGS for the first time since beating it on PlayStation.

@cburg luckily for me, I only it beat it the one time. It’s absolutely phenomenal, but I just don’t play games like that usually. I can only imagine how brutal NG+7 is for this DLC.
I was listening to a podcast and one of the hosts was max level, all stats at 99, and he said he was still getting taken in one hit by a lot of the bosses. He said it was until he found the Scadutree fragments that it started getting easier for him.

@cburg I’m right there with you on those two. Rellana kept destroying me with her twin moons attack. That stupid hippo would always manage to catch me in his mouth and slam me down. I finally beat him today.

@Anke I only have 3.5 😔

@Nepp67 I’m glad it wasn’t just me. I felt bad with how much of a beating she took from that tube. The boss fight was a cake walk compared to it. 😂
