Horizon is great and amazingly polished but my vote goes to Nier. It is fun, original and stylish, a great great game that that tributes all gaming in itself.
I did not like the game at all, apart graphics everything else was a letdown for me: boring fetch quests, absurd characters, nonsense story, empty world, chaotic combat system... Can't really understand why it was so praised.... Oh well, I am saving hdd space and trading it back once Horizon arrives
There are simply too many amazing games that I want and that are coming out at the same time... And in the meantime Nioh is even better than I expected...
I need to quit my job to be able to play them all. Greatness arrived!!
Some of the one you mentioned I played on ps4, but I am glad their Vita counterparts are good too. I am gonna look for them, they are very harx to find at retailers
@ShogunRok thank you Robert for your review! You are my personal Musou institution! Because of that, could you name me the best musous you can play on Vita? I find them perfect for travelling...
I would make a distinction regarding Titanfall 2. It is one of the most innovative shooter this year with a "customer-friendly" DLC free policy, it should have deserved better reception from the userbase, but EA marketing dpt. is probably run by monkeys.
For the rest of the bunch I believe is mainly a matter of fatigue. Too many recent games came out with big flaws and lack of QC, plus the No Man's Sky affair that bruised so many people....
The only big success has been Battlefield 1. DICE took care of the critics they receive after Star Wars Battlefront release and they also found a nice historical period to explore. Too many space shooters and too many open world sandbox whatsoever.....
@JaxonH you can play offline. You won t see other people and I think you can't compete for events global record.
I like the way you can create your own events and then challenge your friends. I also team up with some random and we had fun competing on best score at the same event. It can also be played as relax game, put some music and go downhill at sunset. The sense of total freedom is amazing. I am a skier and a mountaineer and it kind of catch the essence of being in the wild. I tought I could get bored fast, but I was totally hooked, trying to beat my own scores again and again....
Bouncing between Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 andbtrying out Steep, which I am enjoing a lot so far. It has that familiar "just one ride more and I stop" taste...
...meanwhile titanfall 2, with its novelty, amazing multiplayer, fair business model and top reviews bombed.... Oh well.... We consumers can't complain too much, after all...
XCom 2. Perfect game to play at your own pace, one of the hardest game I have ever played. If you like strategy, check that out. Infinite replayability with its dynamic campaign. One of the best games of 2016
Sammy, a question related more to Pushsquare than ps4 pro: how will be your reviewing policy now on? Will you review the games on ps4 pro only or on both? I believe is important to know if newer games will remain fully enjoyable on standard ps4. I fear will happen like on new 3ds, with some game barely playable on old 3ds, despite being available for both consoles, thanks.
@LieutenantFatman it was much worse than that, and I was part of the criticism party too in year 1.
After all the issues, overpriced dlcs and broken promises, I am still playing the game and I have put hundreds of hour in it. It is very fun game especially if you have friends to play with, so I am totally sold for the sequel
@Jake3103 i believe no one is saying you have been not honest in your review.
We are just saying that this review, as it was made, is extremely weak. You set a wrong standard at the beginning (comparing the game with others which are not in the same range), and you didn't use the tool necessary to really get what this game is aimed for.
To make an example, is like bashing Need For Speed because cars are "on rails" in respect of Project Cars, or reviewing PES playing with a keyboard, saying that the players are badly controlled and faints andbdribblings are impossible...
@misterdog exactly. It completely miss that if you have a good wheel and you are looking fir a real simulator, Assetto is the only one you can get on Console, and is actually a great one
Maybe is just the fact that what someone believe is a Sim, for other ones is just a Sim-cade.
Reading the review looks like this is just a bad sim-cade (like GT, Forza and Project Cars).
Problem is that Assetto Corsa is the only one Simulator (not Simulation) available on the Market.
The physics have been developed (and tested) with the real drivers who drove the cars (i.e. Nicola Larini helped with testing the Alfa 155, with which he raced in the 90s).
Despite not being a pure sim fan (i don t have money and space to waste on a proper seat / wheel), I have to agree with the @Poweruser88 comment.
Assetto corsa is the most accurate simulation on the market, just look on the web.
A review from someone who is clearly not good/involved/experienced in such type of games is pretty pointless. I would also find a jet fighter too complicate and full of controls if I only pilot gliders....
I am intrigued by the lore , i thought was absent, instead we got this flavour of a decaying universe and lost civilization...
Even the inventory, it is true that can be annoying, but hey, we are space travellers, we need to survive first and then maybe gather resources. Apollo XI did not come back with a full Lunar mountain with it, right?
I am at early stage (3 system visited and around 12 planets). So great so far.... Just spotting planets trigger a desire to see how they will look from the surface. I enjoy finding fullfilling alien vocabulary and tge next goal i set for myself is to get a new, fancy, ship. So now I am all about identifying rare resources on planets, I am even keeping track on which resources on which planet!
Graphically is amazing in the way that the sum of mediocre elements makes such astonishing vistas, same goes for sound effects. It is a slow pace, total freedom zen experience so far....
When I was kid I used to read 60' 70' scifi novels from my father's collection (it was a line of book called Urania in italy). I am havingvthe same feelings now, like I keep landing on this colourful cover art they had. Is a kind of childish dream come true...
Well, it is true (check on youtube) that Sean said multiple times that l, despite almost impossible, players could meet in the universe.
After release he chickened out and now he is very vague. Now this about labels on covers....
I think he was lying to fans, the feature was tgere but have been removed....
What about the 'searching for other players' on galactic map?
Anyway, that said, I do not really care about multiplayer personally. NMS is such a Zen, introspective relaxing experience that I am kind of happy to not be bothered by someone else at the moment.
@Bananaman678 as far as I ve seen from videos, plutonium can be collected from flowers, which means you don t need the beam, just pick it from the plants. I hope this helps

Re: NieR: Automata Shipments and Digital Sales Top 1 Million
It deserve it and even more. Great surprise and the best game of the bunch that came out in march, in my opinion.
Re: Game of the Month: Top 4 PlayStation Games of March 2017
Horizon is great and amazingly polished but my vote goes to Nier. It is fun, original and stylish, a great great game that that tributes all gaming in itself.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 156
My plan was to jump between Nioh and Horizon, but I cannot put the latter down...

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 156
Nioh and For Honor. FFXV got me bored with all its nonsensical fetch quests and I am going to give it back once horizon arrives.
So, Nioh and For Honor, two masyerpieces in their respective fields
Re: Tekken Producer Talks About How For Honor Compares to Fighting Games
The only thing I can say is that is very hard to put this game down.
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: Nioh Takes a Stab at Second Place
Nioh is a masterpiece. It really deserves success an we want this to become and estabilished franchise
Re: For Honor's Single Player Campaign Lasts Around 6 Hours
@PapaShuffler apparently mocking Ubisoft is a well estabilished gaming trend...
Re: Here's Half an Hour of Slick NieR: Automata Gameplay on PS4

Re: Poll: Are You Enjoying Nioh on PS4?
I am enjoying it immensely, wsys dreamt about a dark souls with diablo loot.
Imho, we have the firdt GOTY contender here.
Re: Feature: The Best Games on PS4 - Winter 2017 Edition
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi the same...
Installed it, played one hour, removed forever from my ps4...
I have found it pointless, boring and with no rhythm at all.
Ah, Doom needs to be there...

Re: Talking Point: Should Sony Move Horizon: Zero Dawn's PS4 Launch Away from the Nintendo Switch?
They got nothing to fear. At the moment rhere are no decent games at launch for Switch and no reason for ps4 owners to jump ship.
Even Zelda will be playable on WiiU 1.0
Re: Obviously Hellblade Ain't Coming Out on PS4 This Year
Delaystation...
Re: Poll: Are You Buying Final Fantasy XV?
No time to dedicate to a new jrpg at the moment. I will probably buy it along the way.
Also, apart the score, I am not too convicend by the reviews I red

Re: Rumour: Destiny 2 Shooting For a Fresh Audience, Will Be a Totally New Game
@kyleforrester87 exactly... They listen the fanbase all the time and you can see that each update fix most of the problems that rise.

Re: Poll: It's Time to Have Your Say on No Man's Sky
@TeslaChippie the inventory is limited for a purpose: you constantly have to balance between life/ship support and material to sell/craft.
It add a strategic point of view for me.
If we talk about the interface, yes is cluncky
Re: Poll: It's Time to Have Your Say on No Man's Sky
@MadAussieBloke i totally agree.
I am intrigued by the lore , i thought was absent, instead we got this flavour of a decaying universe and lost civilization...
