There’s quite a bit of negativity in the above comments, and with Atlus’ track record of flogging ever improved versions of their games at full price, I completely understand why. Personally I never got around to Persona 5, Royal or otherwise, on PS4, so I did pick up P5R on PS5.
It’s still in the old backlog right now, so by the time I do happen to get around to it, hopefully, the ultimate version of Persona 3 Reload should be out. If it isn’t, I’ll more than likely pick this version up anyway.
At the ripe old age of 50, I’m only just really getting around to the RPG scene, thanks largely to Final Fantasy, so I’m really looking forward to finally playing the Persona games. Long overdue though it is.
I’m currently working my way through Final Fantasy VII Remake. I’m about to start chapter 15 and I’m having a great time with Cloud and company.
My favourite game of the entire year, admittedly to my surprise, was the fabulous Final Fantasy XVI and now I’m completely absorbed in the series. I’ve got Crisis Core lined up for after FF7R, then we have Rebirth in February. Great times indeed.
To my complete surprise, Final Fantasy XVI ended up being my favourite game of the entire year, so I’m really looking forward to those paid expansions! Honestly, after finishing Tears of the Kingdom, I thought nothing would beat it. Then I played FF16.
If you haven’t tried it yet, or simply think it’s not your thing, I highly recommend PowerWash Simulator. I didn’t think it’d be my thing, next thing I know, I’m one trophy away from the Platinum. Awesome time!
@Trousersnake Okay, that’s it. I’m gonna sell the Series X and maybe the Switch, if I have to, and look into finally getting a PSVR2. I need to check out GT7 on that thing. Plus, it’ll be cool to replay RE4 and RE8 on it. Thanks for the advice my friend.
@Art_Vandelay Oh man, now you’re really pushing me over the edge! I’m a big petrol head and love cars (motorbikes, too). I don’t own a wheel and pedals though, which is a shame. But I’ve done plenty of real track days in my time. And speaking of 3D, I used to love playing my 3DS back in the day. At the time, it was pretty much my favourite console just because of how much I digged the 3D effect.
Under any other circumstances, I’d likely have been tipped over the edge by now and be placing an order as we speak. But I’ve had some really serious health issues in recent years, which resulted in me losing my job and spending an awful lot of time in hospital and having multiple operations. Over £500 for the VR2 is something I just can’t afford right now.
That being said, I play my Switch much less than I used to and I haven’t touched my Series X in the best part of a year. Maybe I should consider selling those two and putting the money towards the VR headset? I’m a huge fan of Resident Evil, I’m a big car fan and Tetris has been one of my favourite series ever since the OG Game Boy. I reckon I’d love Tetris Effect in VR.
Seriously, I’ve gone from not being interested to almost needing a PSVR2 in the space of just a few comments. I’ll at least give it some serious thought now.
@Art_Vandelay Is RE Village really that good on VR2? You’re almost tempting me now. I certainly do love racers and put over 70 hours into Gran Turismo 7 on my way to rolling credits. I’ve also beat both RE4 and 8 on PS5. For me personally, I definitely still need one or two big games to warrant shelling out over £500 on Sony’s new VR unit though. Three or four games (that I’ve already beaten) aren’t enough, especially when we’re slap bang in the middle of a Cost of Living crisis!
@__jamiie If just one or two of these suggestions actually happened or, of course, if we could just get Half-Life: Alyx, I’d be on the PSVR2 train in no time. Sadly, there just isn’t enough for me right now.
However, Bulletstorm VR is definitely a step in the right direction and I’m also hoping PowerWash Simulator VR comes over, too. But where is the first-party support, Sony? Is it coming or am I just Calling into the Mountains?
Despite pouring nearly 300hrs into Tears of the Kingdom this summer, I’m also convinced that Baldur’s Gate 3 will walk away with the top gong. I still haven’t played it myself however, so I’m super tempted to pre-order that recently revealed physical edition.
Damn, that’s a shame. I would’ve definitely put this on my Christmas wishlist had it had the DLC on disc. Instead I’ll likely pick up a used PS4 copy from CEX and grab Phantom Liberty when it eventually goes on sale – I’ve got plenty to be getting on with in the meantime!
Look, is this needed? No, of course not. Will I still buy it? Absolutely! TLOU2 is probably my favourite game of all time, so if there’s an ultimate version of my ultimate game, I have to have it. It will also be a great excuse to replay it as it’s been a while. Take price out of the equation and TLOU1 is still a great time on PS5 and I’m glad I bought that.
My game of the year is, without a doubt, Final Fantasy XVI, but what game do I think will win? It’s gonna be BG3, isn’t it. Not played it myself, but I will at some point, that’s for sure.
@koverby Thanks my friend. I know my wife has already bought me Spider-Man 2 and Octopath Traveler II for Christmas, so that’s one avenue firmly shut. And even though my eldest recently finished her doctorate and now has a new job as a qualified clinical psychologist at the Royal London hospital (super proud dad here!) I’d feel awful asking for something so expensive. The only other person (besides Santa himself 😉) is my youngest daughter, and she’s still at uni. I will get them some day though.
I really hope you enjoy them when you pick them up. I’ll look out for any of your comments to see what you think of them! Wishing you a very early happy Christmas!
I really want these, but they’re so expensive and I already own AirPods Pro and Sony’s own Pulse 3D headphones. I just can’t justify (or afford) another £200 for these. Maybe one day?
Not quite enough Final Fantasy XVI nominations for me there, but I look forward to this years TGA’s all the same. 2023 has been the best year in at least a decade, so it should be a good one, that’s for sure!
Having finished Resident Evil 4 last week, I finally picked up the Separate Ways DLC and blasted through the first two chapters yesterday. So that’s definitely on the agenda this weekend. I also finished the rather wonderful career mode in PowerWash Simulator this past week. I only need three more trophies to pop the Platinum, so I’ll see if I can do that too.
Whatever you’re playing, have a great weekend everyone!
My personal Game of the Year goes to the incredible Final Fantasy XVI, a game which surprised me in all the best ways.
Really happy that Ben Starr was recognised for his stellar performance as Clive Rosfield, though Ralph Ineson’s portrayal of the enigmatic Cidolfus Telamon was also top drawer. Now if only there was an award for Boss Fight of the Year… FF16 would have scooped up every nomination!
@freddquadros Thanks for the advice, buddy. I can’t wait to finally play P5R, but I equally want to start both FF7R and Spider-Man because FF7 Rebirth is on the horizon and my wife is getting me Spider-Man 2 for Christmas. I loved Miles Morales, so I’m really excited to play the two main games.
Also, I’m thrilled you’re enjoying FF16 so much. It’s such an incredible game. Just when I thought nothing could beat Tears of the Kingdom as my game of the year, Devil May Clive came along and blew me away! The music, visuals, story, combat and boss fights are all top drawer. It might even be my new favourite game of all time, but I need to let some time pass and see if I still feel the same a few months down the line. Enjoy my friend!
In the last couple weeks, I’ve finished both Final Fantasy XVI and Resident Evil 4, both of which, in my opinion, are 10/10 masterpieces.
With those out of the way, I need to start something new this weekend. It’ll either be Final Fantasy VII Remake, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered or maybe even Persona 5 Royal. Each have been sitting in my backlog for forever, but I’m determined to get at least two of them wrapped up before the year is out. Hopefully I’ll get one of them kicked off today.
For many, Final Fantasy XVI has probably been the year’s most controversial game, but for me, it has without a doubt been the years BEST game! Nothing else has even come close. I put 82 hours into what I feel is a genuine masterpiece that stole my heart and walked all over Tears of the Kingdom – which, until FF16 came along, was my Game of the Year. I genuinely feel for those who don’t like the direction that Yoshi-P has taken the series, but I absolutely freaking loved it.
Sounds good to me. I’ve always wanted to play MGS4: Guns of the Patriots, so it’ll be a treat to play it on PS5. Such a shame there will be no new MGS games from Kojima though.
@freddquadros Thanks for the well wishes my friend, it means a lot! I’m sure you’ll love FF16 as much as I did. Easily my game of the year so far. Hope you get around to it real soon and have a great weekend.
Well, I’d been trying to finish off Final Fantasy XVI for the past two weekends, but in that time I’ve been hospitalised by a severe Crohn’s attack, had COVID and put my back out. So I’d been pretty much bed bound for over ten days. However, I finally made it to the sofa and finished the game on Thursday. And WHAT a game it is! I put 82 hours in, completed at least four of what are my favourite boss fights in all of gaming, and fell in love with both the story and pretty much all the main NPC’s. With that in mind, Final Fantasy XVI has comfortably overtaken Tears of the Kingdom as my favourite game of 2023 and instantly become one of my top two games on the PS5 to date.
This weekend I’m going to Paris with my wife and youngest daughter to visit my sister-in-law who recently moved there for work, so the only gaming I’ll get in will be on Nintendo Switch. I don’t want to buy Super Mario Bros. Wonder because I really want to pick up Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 when I get back on Tuesday, but I’m really wobbling, folks. Please, someone send help!
@Smiffy01 Honestly, it bothers me quite a bit, man. But at least I now know I’m not the only one! Solidarity in numbers and all that 😊
Back on topic, I wonder when this new feature that allows us to check for updates for games that aren’t on the home screen will go live? My PS5 only just started displaying the new 5-star rating system yesterday!
Finally! This has bothered me for so long. Hey, it’s only taken them three years to sort it, but better late than never.
One other thing that still bothers me, is that the artwork on most game tiles that are in 'Game Library' and at the top of the Home Screen are vastly inferior to the actual tile art that’s displayed in 'Your Collection'. The Spider-Man games, Sackboy, The Callisto Protocol and Hogwarts Legacy are some of the most egregious examples. That’s probably the only area where Xbox Series X|S is vastly superior. What makes the issue worse is that when PS5 first launched, the proper tile art was always displayed. But it changed after an early firmware update.
I adore my PS5, and use it more than my Series X and Switch combined (and then some), but I’m really not a fan of the system’s UI.
Genuine question: does this bother anyone else or is it just me? I think it might be just me.
@AndroidBango Listen, I admire anyone who stands up to racism, and most footballers grow up poor, especially those from South America. But my point is, what has that got to do with a Spider-Man video game? Good on the guy, just keep the suits to the comics, movies, etc.
@Wazeddie22 Aww, thank you my friend. Means a lot. Sorry you have to go through the hospital stuff, too. It really isn’t nice at all. I’ve had multiple surgeries and always end up with a complication of some sort.
I was planning to finish Final Fantasy XVI last weekend, but I had a severe Crohn’s flair-up on the Sunday and ended up in hospital needing IV meds. Once I returned home, I managed to put a couple hours in, but on Thursday, I tested positive for Covid and now I feel like I’ve been hit by a train.
It feels like I’m cursed at this point, but in the unlikely event that I am able to play something, I’ll definitely put that time into wrapping up FF16, which by the way, is easily my favourite game of the entire year so far. I’m not saying it’s a 10/10, but it isn’t far off either.
After more than 60 joyous hours of play, I’ll be finishing up Final Fantasy XVI this weekend. It’s now comfortably overtaken Tears of the Kingdom as my personal Game of the Year. Absolutely brilliant. Though I should stress that I haven’t yet played Baldur’s Gate 3.
@MS7000 Same goes with Remedy’s Alan Wake II, which is digital only. Also hoping Baldur’s Gate 3 will get a physical release at some point. Either that or someone like LRG picks them up.
Nice review, @gbanas92 but I don’t really think this one is for me. I had the chance to play it on XSX via Game Pass and I didn’t bother, so that tells me something.
I watched that particular episode with my wife. Even she answered it correctly! I was thinking about letting you guys know, but @BlaizeV beat me to it. Good on ya, buddy! You’d be surprised by how many gaming-centric questions are featured on Tipping Point, but they’re usually related to Mario and Sonic.
While this update isn’t anything particularly major, I do think it’s a bit of a slap in the face for those of us who bought Cuphead – and it’s DLC! – on PS4 and Switch.

Finally. I may well pick it up when the physical edition releases. It’ll go nicely next to RDR2.

Re: Cocoon (PS5) - All Killer, No Filler in This Superb Recursive World Puzzler
