Usual moaners out in force again. Personally can't wait to play SoR4 and if it wasn't for all these so-called 'rubbish' months, I would never have got to play Cat Quest 1 and 2, Tunic, Dave The Diver and countless others. Bottom line, go in with an open mind and the service is tremendous value for money.
Streets Of Rage 4 looks like the real pick of the bunch. Very happy to see that this time the comments page isn't full of the usual whingers and moaners.
Genshin Impact needs more impactful changes than that. Most of all, apart from a fortnightly shot at Spiral Abyss there is really no content where players can meaningfully enjoy their level 90 characters. Unlike Star Rail where there's far more incentive to try and get your favourite characters always a little more powerful.
Absolutely brilliant game although I still rank Bloodborne as the best in class. May there be a BB remake (or at least a 60fps update!), Praise The Sun.
RDR2 is a very pretty game with lots of memorable moments and fun content. Problem I have with it (and indeed most GTA/Rockstar games) are the horrendous finicky clunky controls, it just never becomes intuitive. Looking forward to trying the Cat Quests - personally I find even with the odd disappointing month the PS Plus to be tremendous value for money, really don't understand the moaners here.
That's really very cool to see DD2 at the top of the tree. Also, Helldivers 2's success has been one of the best things to come out of gaming this year.
@Titntin absolutely spot on, I've noticed this decidedly unfortunate trend myself - people worry about the state of the games industry and it must be soul-destroying for developers and Sony in general to be exposed to this relentless hyperbolic moaning - well, my message is that I love the service and think it's incredible value for money
Of course it entirely depends on what kind of game you're playing. Action rpgs, sports sims, beat-em-ups? Yes, 60fps is a must. In any case, would much rather play a brilliant game at 30fps than a mediocre one at 60fps.
@Cloud39472 that's exactly what it is - and sadly, judging by several of the comments above, it works - and just like the charts here without digital sales being included they are really not very meaningful numbers
6/10? Sorry, don't trust this review one little bit. The same tired tropes were being rolled out by critics about 'the story' in Team Ninja games all the way back to Nioh. This is a game not a movie, 'the story' serves as a powerful mood setting for gameplay: true going all the way back to Doom and almost any other classic title.

Re: Life Is Strange: Double Exposure Is a Detective PS5 Game with a Supernatural Side
These character models look pretty dated for a 'teen vibe', hopefully the game will have lots of fresh ideas.
Re: Honkai: Star Rail's Next PS5 Update May Be One of Its Most Important Yet
@z0d15g0d exactly, the technique makes grinding in SU trivial
Re: Honkai: Star Rail's Next PS5 Update May Be One of Its Most Important Yet
Really looking forward to this, what a fantastic game. Helps to have a maxed-out Acheron however, she absolutely nukes everything.
Re: Poll: Was Summer Game Fest 2024 Great or a Letdown?
When did this site become such a viper's nest of bitter XBox fans piling on Sony? Absolutely shocking.
Re: Concord PS5, PC Has Six Action-Packed Modes at Launch
Hard pass here, more for its genre than the quality of the game.

Re: Breath of the Wild Meets Style Savvy in Whimsical PS5 Open World Infinity Nikki
@get2sammyb Absolute spot on. I'm glad somebody has said all this because these kneejerk anti-gacha/F2P comments are getting a bit tiresome.

Re: HoYoverse's Next Huge Gacha Zenless Zone Zero Launches 4th July on PS5
Count me most definitely in!
Re: Genshin Impact PS5, PS4 Gives Its First Glimpse of New Nation Natlan
Good news. The game has been crying out for something to complement the Spiral Abyss for a long time now.

Re: Story Is the Focus of New Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Trailer
Absolutely brilliant game although I still rank Bloodborne as the best in class. May there be a BB remake (or at least a 60fps update!), Praise The Sun.

PushSquare score: 8/10
what is this, Christianity Today's website?
Re: Strategy Legend Jake Solomon Explains Where Marvel's Midnight Suns Went Wrong
That TCG Genius Invocation game in Genshin Impact is also the one component that I completely ignore.
Re: Live-Action Tomb Raider Series Officially Ordered by Amazon Prime Video
@Lup Personally, I prefer the term 'tree trunk' since that more accurately describes how wooden the art of acting has recently become.
Re: Live-Action Tomb Raider Series Officially Ordered by Amazon Prime Video
No Time To Die was one of the worst 007 films of all time, for which there's plenty of competition.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for May 2024?
Serial whingers and moaners do love the comments pages for these 'polls'.
Re: Mar 2024 USA Sales: Dragon's Dogma 2 Tops the Charts, Helldivers 2 Is Unstoppable
That's really very cool to see DD2 at the top of the tree. Also, Helldivers 2's success has been one of the best things to come out of gaming this year.
Re: Stellar Blade Gets New Game+ Mode in Day One Update on PS5
@Nepp67 thanks, good to know!
Re: Stellar Blade Gets New Game+ Mode in Day One Update on PS5
I wonder how the NG+ plays, is it just tougher enemies or are there are other differences?
Re: Zenless Zone Zero Release Date Potentially Leaked via Apple Store
Really looking forward to trying this. Love Genshin and HSR.
Re: TopSpin 2K25 (PS5) - A Killer Serve 13 Years in the Making
@Pranwell Nothing is better than Match Point. What a classic that was!
Re: TopSpin 2K25 (PS5) - A Killer Serve 13 Years in the Making
For all the rewards and positive aspets of the gameplay it's the clunky sluggish front ends of 2K games that put me off.

Re: Zenless Zone Zero Will Be Empowered by PS5's Cutting Edge Capabilities
Very much looking forward to this one (if I can find the time away from HSR!).
Re: Upcoming Gacha Sensation Zenless Zone Zero Plotting PS5 Technical Test
The two Hoyoverse games on PS5 so far are amazing and well-balanced just as a F2P experience.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 PS5 Patch 1.060 Isn't the Update You're Waiting For
DD2 is brilliant in its own unique way. To all these angry moaners, please take the toxicity somewhere else or play another game.
Re: Sony Hires Superstar Korean Cheerleader to Cosplay as Stellar Blade's Eve
All I'll say is that as a video game character give me Eve over Aloy any day of the week.

@Cloud39472 that's exactly what it is - and sadly, judging by several of the comments above, it works - and just like the charts here without digital sales being included they are really not very meaningful numbers
Re: UK Sales Charts: Dragon's Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin Off to a Weak Start at Retail
The data presented by these physical charts means almost nothing. So yet another opportunity for all to engage in confirmation bias.
Re: PS5, PS4 Owners Will Get Their First Taste of Inazuma Eleven Soon
Seems like fun! Looking forward to this one.
Re: Rise of the Ronin (PS5) - A Safe, Outdated Open World Game

Re: Honkai: Star Rail's Next Enormous PS5 Update Brings Huge Rewards and the Unmissable Acheron
HSR is such a fun game. Black Swan in particular has been transformational for my teams even without Kafka, hoping to pull Acheron too in 2.1.
Re: Here's More Proof We Need a Honkai: Star Rail Anime
This 50/50 is due soon. Please let it be Acheron.
