Lies of P all the way. Excellent game with moody exploration and an abundance of cool systems. Weapon Assembly! The left arm plus customization! Weapon special abilities! Skill tree! Plus everything it cribbed from other soulslikes… Just arrived at the cathedral, can’t wait to start todays session.
Of all upcoming games, I gotta say this is at the top of my list. And that’s saying something when games like Lords of the Fallen, Spider-Man 2, Banishers, Granblue Relink and FFVII: Rebirth are all on the horizon.
@solidox I also enjoyed Callisto for what it was: a slightly janky Dead Space clone. It was a breezy 10 hours. I do feel some trepidation for the DLC though, but with backlog and release schedule being what they are who knows if I’ll ever get to it
Oh yeah, I had this game pre-ordered. There’s no such thing as “too many soulslikes” in my world. The game is also really good. Sure, the world is kinda like Bloodborne and Steelrising had a baby but the combat is tight, the environments are moody and the loot plus underlying systems are great. Next up: Lords of the Fallen! (well, in a month)
This looks right up my alley, I actually got it pre-ordered. I really liked Vampyr and with a higher budget plus more experienced studio this could be a sleeper hit.
Hell no, I’m not sinking another 100 hours into this. Plus, I don’t wanna give up my collection of Unique Legendary weapons. I might give the DLC a whirl but with the release schedule being what it is plus an enormous backlog, even that is uncertain.
Well, this looks amazing! But considering I have Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2, Yakuza 3-6, Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Like a Dragon: Ishin! still standing on my shelf unplayed it’s gonna be awhile before I get to this game…
So far I’ve only played Yakuza 0 which I really liked but, man, my backlog is killing me.
What a waste of cool horror licenses, churning out these multiplayer titles with zero shelf life. Why not make a great single player Evil Dead survival horror game instead?
I just finished Pikmin 4 (great!), now I’m waiting for my copy of Lies of P to arrive.
So this weekend I’ll be mopping up some DLC: Burning Shore for HFW (great so far but it’s basically more of the same so I’m glad it’s been a year since I played the campaign) and Episode Intermission for FF7R (haven’t started yet, will be fun seing Midgar again but I’m not expecting Witcher quality DLC…)

Re: Guide: Best PS4 Exclusive Games
Why is Detroit on this list? Why is Journey? Both of these games are on pc, both part of the sad trend of losing exclusives.
