Trials Rising is the only game I'll be getting this month which is good because I've got a huge backlog, Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassins Creed Odyssey, Astro Bot Rescue Mission, to name a few.
Player dialogue choice in the majority of games doesn't have any impact on the overall outcome, when a game does have multiple endings depending on player choice I find it's not as satisfying a story as all the different endings have been focused on rather than the developers focusing on a singular quality ending instead. Player dialogue choice in a game doesn't appeal to me and it also doesn't put me off a game. I think a lot of people get overhyped for dialogue options thinking it means there will be branching story paths and it is almost never the case.
I managed to get a code and that's all I can say which is a shame because....i guess I'm not supposed to say that either but what I can say is.....I guess not. They definitely shouldn't have an NDA on this.
I've just seen a post from one of the dev team saying they are nerfing Zero as she is too over powered, they are looking at increasing the time it takes her to hack
This is a must buy for me. I couldn't put the original title down on my Megadrive, it was definitely a game before it's time with all the randomly generated elements. I've watched a few of the recent developer streams of Back in the Groove and its certainly looking like a lot of fun.
I really enjoyed this game, I even went as far as to get the platinum. Some of the controls can be a bit cumbersome now and the voice acting is very cheesy and outdated but other than that this is a very enjoyable game that I'd recommend to anyone.
@rjejr Wow a whole 2 years later! I would say this is an excellent VR title and I stand by my review. To be honest I haven't played anything else like it on PSVR since and it's certainly a charming game in terms of presentation. If you enjoy God-like strategy games where you manage people to collect resources then I'd definitely recommend it
@Quintumply @FullbringIchigo Yeah I see how it's a good thing but at the same time if all developers of VR titles start making their games available without PSVR then I can see PSVR getting dropped very quickly by consumers as there is no exclusive content making it worthwhile for them to pick it up. I've had PSVR since launch and tbh nowadays it just stays in it's box because I don't feel as though it's getting enough software that interests me.
@Knuckles-Fajita Yes i do have a partner and writing reviews isn't my job, it's more of a hobby. I work a full time job and write reviews for Push Square on the side.
@Gremio108 This whole competition is about making couple ship names for the best PlayStation characters. You had Aloy and Cloud...Aloud, Kat and Kratos...Katos and next up is Nathan and Ellie...Nellie. XD
Nope, it’s all good. Anthem doesn’t look too interesting to me, seems like they are trying to be what Destiny was but I’m sure EA will find a way to mess it up
@Michael_RFG Thanks for the update, I can only review the version that’s available at the time. I’ll be impressed if they’ve already fixed these issues in a patch, I’ll take another look.
@LieutenantFatman It does have a story in the form of short cutscenes but ultimately I didn’t find it to be that interesting and there were very few cutscenes in comparison to gameplay. This type of game doesn’t feel like it needs a strong story as the action and sense of progression is enough to keep you playing.
@RogerRoger I really enjoyed my time with the game but the technical issues caused way too much of a problem for this to score highly. The constant frame rate drops, at some points it felt almost like a slideshow and crashes made this frustrating to play.
@bbtothe only currency is carried over but that is then used to unlock new spells and items that will then be permanently available. As for time of a run, I’d say about an hour to complete but it may be longer to begin with as you get used to the game.
With Swords of Ditto, Wizard of Legend, Moonlighter and The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth + Booster pack 5 there is plenty of recent and upcoming content for roguelike fans to check out.
Moonlighter, Detroit i'm on the fence about getting at launch and although I like the look of the Megadrive Collection there's just too many classics missing for it to be worth it.

Re: New Batman Arkham Game Rumours Sound Like Absolute Nonsense
Crisis sounds about right considering he was a bat, then a turtle, then a flying man and now a bat again.

Re: StarBlood Arena No Longer Playable Past July 2019

Re: Review: Tethered (PS4)
@rjejr Moss and Astrobot are excellent VR titles, also if you haven't tried Statik I'd highly recommend it.

Re: Square Enix Partners with Deck Nine on New Title
I finished Before the Storm just the other day and I was really impressed by it, definitely better than the first game in the series.

Re: Bomb Defusing Party Game Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes to Drop PSVR Requirement
This is one of my favourite games to keep going back to on PSVR, it's a shame it's losing VR exclusivity

Re: Cat Quest II: The Lupus Empire Leaps onto PS4 in 2019
