@johncalmc None specifically, it's more to do with the way it's presented. It's not uncommon for people to be involved in car accidents similar to the story in this game and be left with a disability that makes their life a misery. Maybe I'm too sensitive but a lot of the humor I didn't find funny and i'm sure lots of people will feel the same way I did when I played it.
@themcnoisy You actually do and you have to shower afterwards cause more pee goes on you than in the toilet. Then when you are showering the narrator describes Sam as a "mantis trying to explain how to ride a bicycle"
@Mega-Gazz Tbh, it's hard to tell as the closed alpha only had the three multiplayer game modes. The final game will come with more and a single player campaign. Also as it was only a closed alpha there wasn't many games being played, a lot of multiplayer games really rely on a big community to keep them going so players can return.
@Boerewors I would agree entirely, it shouldn't be deducted marks for not including leaderboards or daily runs as the game is not supposed to be focussed on competing with friends scores it's more enjoyable to just try and beat the game. Also not many other rogue-likes include leaderboards, The binding of Isaac doesn't, Nuclear Throne does but they never really worked and I'm not sure if rogue legacy did.
@Johnnycide Absolutely! This is an excellent little title. I prefer this to Nuclear Throne and that is a great game. I'm not sure if I prefer it to the binding of Isaac but with the new DLC for that coming out in a few weeks there is plenty of rogue like action to be had
@themcnoisy I would definitely say geometry wars 3 is better and longer but they are very different games tbh. This is a lot more fun with friends whereas geometry wars is a better for solo play.
@glassmusic The issues you have stated are quite minor and are bound to be patched as the developers supported the original well. I'll be up for some games, PSN: ScarySim6
@Dichotomy whilst playing I never had to combo the directional buttons, I'm not sure how it's played on the PC version but on the ps4 you use the arrow keys to move (or analogue stick) and then the face buttons for spells and items. Attacking is done using the arrow keys as well, just press in the direction you want to attack. All the controls feel really responsive and don't hinder the experience in any way.
@sinalefa Although there is music it isn't the main focus of the title, it's subtle but all of the music is wonderfully created to fit with the tempo of the combat perfectly. Most of the time with the rhythmic gameplay you'll just do it naturally without paying much attention to the music at all, instead you'll be focussed on fighting your foes.

@BLPs yes VR is required to play the game, it can't be played without it.

@blakey78 you need another player using a controller and tv. They can spin the fan using the touchpad and it'll move the platform

Hang on, the reviewer is called Liam Croft and he is reviewing a Lara Croft game. Coincidence, I think not!

Re: Save Big This Spring with European PlayStation Store Sale
@Wazeddie22 I would argue it's one of the better Lego games and it's a fun and easy platinum trophy to get with a friend
Re: The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth DLC Is Complete on PS4
@Napples true they could of spent more time on that but the thing with The Keeper was pretty cool
Re: The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth DLC Is Complete on PS4
@get2sammyb @Melucine The latest news on the vita version was that they were having technical issues but heard nothing since then.

Re: Review: Assault Android Cactus (PS4)
@MDHegs They are both worth a play. Although short this is a blast and Broforce is excellent with some mates.

@Anchorsam_9 I'm definitely picking this up! Played a lot of Trackmania on the PC during school years, it's a blast.
Re: Would You Kindly Feast Your Eyes on BioShock PS4's Pretty Box Art?
Bioshock is one of those games I've never played...don't tell @get2sammyb. Is it worth playing the collection?

Just a heads up with this game, it still requires an Internet connection to play any mode, even single player.

Re: Review: LEGO Marvel's Avengers (PS4)
@Tasuki I find Lego games are great to play co-op especially with children or people that aren't really gamers and struggle with controls.
