Re: Visions of Mana Playable Demo Available Now on PS5, PS4

Big fan of the original game so was looking forward to this. Not impressed, voice acting is awful and gameplay seems to have more in common with y's or tales games rather than Secret of Mana.
Perhaps the fact that it just dumped you in at a later stage and threw a lot of info at you all at once didn't help either.

No mention of the audio bug where all sound vanishes? Apparently can be resolved by disabling 3D audio but I'm not going to start doing that on a game by game basis.
Has it been resolved since the early access on PS5 started?
Also, tutorials didn't pop up for me when I gave it a whirl so will wait till that is fixed as well cos I need all the help I can get!!

@NotTelevision Controller layout options don't help and switching target is not intuitive to me. Couple of times gotten frustrated with camera, particularly in busy battles but still enjoying it overall
Some of the cutscenes and set pieces are the most bonkers I've witnessed for a while!

Gave it a second shot on PS5 with the upgraded version and while it performs better, the world just feels devoid of life, NPC's spring into action as you approach them and the lack of traffic on the roads is so jarring when coming from a session of GTA V.
I haven't felt particularly engaged in the storyline, found the hacking game poorly explained and the upgrade tree(s) are just a mess.
Maybe it is just not for me, but seems a massive downgrade on the world & story of Witcher 3, which might not have been flawless at launch but still had enough going for it to hook me and keep me playing.

Astro's Playroom has elicited the most positive responses from everyone that has had a go on the PS5 and brought enjoyment to even the "non gamers", much like Nintendo products have done in the past.
Too much emphasis is placed on technical prowess these days and less on "is it fun to play?". Just think how many PS5's Sony could be unable to sell due to chip shortages if they had something like Wii Sports...
