I played the demo and the game is straight up janky garbage with some of the most annoying dialogue imaginable. Anybody giving this game a good review is either paid off or has bad taste.
Whatever remaining hype I had for the game is gone after playing the demo. Cringey dialogue, finicky lock-on, and boring enemies. I was actually surprised how bad the demo was. I don't know why they thought this would persuade people to buy the game. They would have been better off skipping the demo and going straight to release.
@thefourfoldroot actually it often does. Some games like Miles Morales, God of War Ragnarok, and others offer unlocked framerates. Without VRR the performance mode is usually locked at 60 FPS. With VRR performance mode instead runs about 70-90 FPS.
@rjejr yeah same here. I've been thinking they'd be going first person with every new update and I'm sure it's only a matter of time until they push the button on the change. SMH
God of War Ragnarok is a great game, maybe even a 10/10 game. But it isn't innovative- it's a super polished version of the average video game experience. Elden Ring isn't close to average in any way- it's innovative, epic, and uniquely flavored in terms of art and story. I love Ragnarok, but Elden Ring deserves the Game of the Year award.
@KundaliniRising333 the man said he is Ukranian. Have a heart. Talk about shallow- I've rarely seen a more embarrassingly tone deaf diatribe on the Internet than what you have written here.
More TRASH by GREEDY Xbox in their quest to gain a monopoly over the video game industry! They won't be happy til 99.99% of players own an Xbox and don't care if Sony and Nintendo go bankrupt in the process! They should be ashamed and embarassed!
Shady Xbox is over there trying to create a monopoly of the video game industry, while poor Sony is fighting for the average consumer and trying to keep healthy competition in the console wars. Greedy Xbox should be embarrassed and ashamed of their actions! Thank God for Sony for saving video games!
I give it a big 8! Great presentation but the game is so easy that there's very little tension or excitement for me. Plus it seems like there's about 5 minutes of talking for every five minutes of action. All that put together makes it feel more like watching an interactive movie than playing a super engaging game. Not even close to my game of the year- Elden Ring!
Yassss queen! Hope these options will be the new normal for AAA games in the future. I'll be playing in Favour Quality + HFR + VRR= 40 FPS Unlocked. Sweet!
Good game and I give it an 8 but personally I liked the first game better. The story and tone were more believable in the first one. Kind of funny that Amicia is a killing machine now! Framerate is fine at 40 FPS.
Nice article- what is this, Kotaku?! Actually it's better than a Kotaku article because if this was Kotaku the same information would be presented in an article 3,000 words long.
Tried to get into this game but just couldn't. Loved Death's Door so I expected to love this, but I guess the emphasis on difficulty is the difference. Would definitely recommend Death's Door if you don't like this.
Desperate and incompetent PlayStation devs are still pushing Knack 2 down our throats every chance they get. Why won't they just let the game die? For as much money as they've shoved at the Knack franchise we could have 3 new original IPs!

Re: Dead Space PS5 Looks Like a Remarkable Remake
@BoldAndBrash yeah unfortunately they would never make a game like this today- not in a million years. It's all Fortnite and Roblox now.

Re: The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners 2 Survives PSVR2 on 21st March
So if you have it on PSVR 1, will you be able to play it on PSVR 2 without buying again?
Re: All VRR Optimised Games for PS5
missing God of War Ragnarok for their unlocked performance mode

Re: Poll: Did You Buy The Callisto Protocol?
@playstation1995 yeah I was hoping the game would be funky fresh but I'm not gonna drop my scrilla on it if it's busted. No diggity.

Re: Sony Throws EA's Battlefield Under the Bus to Make a Point on Call of Duty

Re: New Tales From The Borderlands (PS5) - No Tale, Too Much Borderlands
@GamingFan4Lyf Yes! Pumped about Half Life 3. I knew this was coming after they did Alyx- it was just a matter of time!

Re: Mini Review: Norco (PS5) - A Peculiar Prosaic Paradigm
I wouldn't play this game if it was free. If you wanted me to finish it, I would charge $10 an hour.
Re: Mini Review: Gungrave G.O.R.E. (PS5) - It's Definitely a New Gungrave
Might not be good for the average player, but this will be great for Gungrave superfans!

Re: Development Nearly Complete for Pinnochio-Inspired Soulslike Lies of P
Interested to find out exactly what lies Pinocchio tells, and how long his nose gets by the end.
Re: Some of The Callisto Protocol's Death Animations Are Locked Behind the Season Pass
Was planning on picking this up but now it's a hard pass. I need the full game for full price.

Re: Crossfire: Sierra Squad Brings High-Octane FPS Thrills to PSVR2
Looks good but another game with no teleport movement? I want to be excited for these but I think they'll just make me sick.

Re: Lies of P Director Talks Game Length, Inspiration, Franchise Potential for the Edgy Soulslike
Can't wait to see Timothee Charlamet portray P in the DLC. He's a fantastic actor and will bring a ton of charisma and star power to the role!
Re: Highly Promising PS5, PS4 Horror The Callisto Protocol Is Ready for Release
Can't believe that this game has already gone Gold. I fully expect it to go Platinum around the time of release!
Re: Poll: Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
Poll isn't working, but I don't need 60 FPS as long as there's a 40 FPS mode.
Re: God of War Ragnarok on PS5 Runs at Up to 120fps, Four Graphics Modes
40 FPS for me! I hope we can expect this option from all major releases from now on.
Re: Silent Hill F Revealed by Konami, But Who Knows What It Is
Great trailer! I don't usually play horror games but might make an exception for this one.
Re: Sony Posts Tone-Deaf Bloodborne Tweet, Chaos Ensues

Re: Mini Review: Tunic (PS5) - Cute But Tough Action Game Is Cunning As a Fox
Tried to get into this game but just couldn't. Loved Death's Door so I expected to love this, but I guess the emphasis on difficulty is the difference. Would definitely recommend Death's Door if you don't like this.

Re: Sony Posts PlayStation Stars Scheme Overview, Release Dates
Oh boy! I'm excited for those collectibles! (not)
Re: All PS5 Games Running at 120fps
Apex Legends does NOT support 120fps on PS5. Better check your research!
