Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Astro Bot?

Only 2 galaxies in, but so far it’s an absolute 10/10. So inventive and joyful, and just the right level of challenge with plenty of casual fun but also tricky hidden bots and tougher platforming levels. 100% my game of the year, with Stellar Blade a close second.

Re: Poll: Would You Buy PS5 Pro If It Was Cheaper?

$599 with a friggin’ disc drive and I’d be hittin’ that preorder button. I totally get that it’s expensive tech, but as a physical enthusiast, this thing is just not worth the cost for me with my limited game time these days.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Astro Bot?

Based on the reception of playroom alone, I think we could tell that the full game would be an absolute smash hit. Super excited to get stuck into it this weekend!

Ditch the live-service multiplayer cash-grabs, reel in the massive budgets and size of single-player games, and focus on some smaller projects that use existing IP’s in fun new ways. Nintendo’s new Zelda is a great example. Probably not that expensive to make given the graphics, but new and innovative, and likely going to sell like crazy.
Yeah, Sony needs to have some serious come-to-Jesus conversations.

I’m excited to play this down the road. The idea of having a lot more unique boss fights than your typical soulslike, and cutting down the number of enemies leading up sounds refreshing. As much as I love exploring and finding new weapons and gear, 75% of the time they don’t work for your build… Anyways this sounds great. Hopefully we get a patch or two to tidy up the input lag issues.

Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite PS5 Roguelike Games

1. Star Renegades
2. Returnal
3. Into the Breach

I was OBSESSED with Star Renegades. Put in dozens of hours over PS5 and Switch. Such a fantastic game. Challenging, tactical combat, awesome pixel art and character design, and so, so much personality. Can’t believe the game didn’t even show up in the system to be rated… 😭

@DETfaninATL Always wanted to try Mooncrash. Prey is fantastic, and I can see how it would make an excellent roguelike.
