@Sequel
please tell me you're just trolling

The first game was alright, but is there really so much demand for this series that it's now getting a third entry?

Looks like it could be an enjoyable movie.. Oh that was a game trailer?

Overall, I thought it was pretty good. Most of the trailers actually had some gameplay. Nothing worse than the all CG game reveals (are these games or movies?). When Dead Island 2 is your big end of show game, though, you can tell that this wasn't a show full of heavy hitters.

So I guess I clearly should have waited... 3 years before playing this one. What the heck, why is a short metroidvania being treated like a live service game?

Well, now of course this has my full attention

@SerJosh97
Deathloop is rumored to be coming to Xbox within the next couple of months. That could hardly be considered "years"

@shadow2k
that's... not at all what I said, but ok

@shadow2k
That's just unrealistic. Only a tiny percentage of studios have the budget needed to push the system.

tempting, but as soon as Deathloop and Ghostwire come to xbox, they're going to be on gamepass day 1, so I'll continue waiting

wow, took a look at opencritic, and the reception is very very mixed. Scores all the way from 8.5 to 3/10

@shadow2k
So you want every game to have the exact same realistic artstyle? Sounds pretty boring to me. I'm not interested in this game, but the artstyle definitely makes it stand out.

@Royalblues
You're reminding me of Asura's Wrath, where the last few missions and ending are locked behind DLC

@nessisonett
I had assumed it was from the same devs of Golf Story based on the name. guess not

that opening shot in the trailer... looks like times have been tough for Kratos

Even though it's just a survey, it shows that Sony is completely willing to consider NFTs if they think they can get away with it.

How does this compare to the Utawarerumono series, as far as the division between visual novel and battle segments? Something like 70/30, 60/40?

This will give me a good reason to try this out again. Couldn't get into it the first time I tried. Flying around felt so clunky and the visuals were kind of unappealing.

@Sil_Am There are plenty of indies on Switch, but not PS. Here's just a few of the more notable ones:
Inmost, Everhood, Unavowed, Eastward, Steel Assault, The Legend of Tian Ding, Dark Deity, Panzer Paladin

It would be so satisfying if each and every one of these harassers had to face real consequences for their actions. No more hiding behind keyboards

@themightyant It's really not multiple playthroughs, and I hate how the game has been described this way, because it misleads people, like in your case. Okay, there are sort of two playthroughs, but they're very unique. After those two are done, it's all new content from there.

They seem almost embarrassed to admit that this is a turn-based strategy game. Watching this video, you would think it's straight action

I'm seeing it's at a 66 on opencritic. Not sure I'd agree that it's "received well", but may be worth a look.

@Voltan
That's my thinking as well, and I also have gamepass, so there has to be a really, really great deal to get me to buy a game right now

@Grimwood
What a horrible take. "I don't like this genre, therefore it should not exist"

@djlard It's my least favourite trend of modern games right now. Every cool-looking indie, I have to check first to see if it's a roguelike, before I get too interested.

No one asked, but here's my top 10:

1. God of War Ragnarok
2. The Callisto Protocol
3. Last of Us Part 1
4. Crisis Core
5. Digimon Survive
6. Monochrome Mobius
7. Evil West
8. Valkyrie Elysium
9. Trails from Zero
10. Midnight Suns

Looks great. What a shame it's a roguelike though

@TeapotBuddha
It was received well pretty much everywhere other than this site, so now of course Push Square will always refer to it as a disappointing game, despite the general reception.

Let me know when they get rid of level gating (adventure rank), and I might considering jumping back in

@AFCC easy solution would be not to buy games at launch. I don't think I've bought a single game at launch in the last 10 years. You might even save a bit of money

@nico013 While it is an outlier for sure, this is the writer's opinion, so to say it's "not very accurate" doesn't make sense

Wow, Push Square is really starting to stand out for all the outlier reviews. This is getting 8s and 9s from most outlets

Hoping that Observer: System Redux will be included. It was annoying that there was no upgrade path for those that already purchased the original Observer

@DETfaninATL
That's odd. I've been playing for 30+ hours and I feel like maybe 5% or less of my time has been in dialogue. Are you playing only the main story or something? There are tons of sidequests all over the place that are very action-focused.

@RubyCarbuncle, I agree. It's cool that this exists, but with my limited gaming time, time that I spend playing this board game, is time that I'm not exploring the world, fighting robot dinosaurs, and enjoying the story. It was the same for me with The Witcher 3, Trails of Cold Steel, etc.

Everyone complaining, you realize that nothing is being removed from the game right? You can still play on the same difficulty that you've been enjoying up till now. And they're even adding a hard mode. Funny how no one complains about that, even though it's also not the original, "intended" experience.

I was so disappointed to learn that this is a roguelite. Kills my interest completely.

Microsoft swoops in when ActiBlizz reputation is at its lowest point. Now they get all these IPs, they can clean house (hopefully including Bobby Kotick), and reap the benefits. Pretty smart move. Wouldn't be surprised if the Activision Blizzard name is retired completely.

As someone who has never played a Serious Sam, I feel like this review told me next to nothing about the game.

so so dumb. This could have made up for the fact that PS5 owners only got a glorified demo this month, but nope.

I don't care about Godfall, but I am mainly concerned about the precedent that this sets for the future of ps+. Full games are no longer guaranteed apparently.

This article finally convinced me to cancel my ps plus subscription. I don't play online and month after month, there has rarely been a free game offered that I either haven't already played or have no interest in. I'll put that money toward gamepass when I get an Xbox some day.

I really hope this is just testing the waters, before they roll out a full trial program for all games on psn. Seeing as their refund system is notoriously strict.

Kind of amusing to have crossovers from a brutally violent game that is definitely not for kids.

@twitchtvpat Wolverine had nothing to show, and yet they still showed it.

I agree completely with this article. It was a great show, yet still felt like a lot was missing. The two new reveals were just very brief CG teasers, everything else we already knew about.

Sony has what? 16 studios? I was expecting to learn more about what some of these studios are working on. The only surprise was Wolverine.

Maybe this is asking for too much, but I think that Sony should give a selection of titles to choose from each month. Lately, I either already own the games being offered or have no interest, making the PS+ cost not worthwhile.

The trailer made it look like a Fortnite spinoff. It's the same reaction I had when I first saw Destruction All-Stars.

@NorrinRadd
"Spoilers" for a press release.. really?? Do you work for Bungie's marketing team?
