Glad combat remains fun but the rest of that review is pretty scathing. Surprised to see a 7/10 at the end, it read more like a 5/10.

This is something I was looking forward to, but now I think I'll wait a while.

Got the original P5 day one. Loved it.

Got P5 Royal day one. Loved it.

Will not get this, probably ever. It is a baffling decision that can only be explained as a way to nickel and dime the biggest fans.
The level of enchancements for the PS5 version don't warrant a purchase. It should be a free version for all P5 Royal owners. DLC licenses from P5R ps4 should just carry over as well.

I'd like to imagine that goodwill would have helped sell the game to anyone who skipped Royal originally. But oh well...

@IonMagi Sony has decided to put all of their resources towards western blockbusters. Realistic graphics, (supposedly) dramatic stories, and gameplay for the lowest common denominator. The intro to in-house Sony games mimicking the intro to a Marvel studios movies tells you all you need to know.

Despite their success, I don't think this is a good long term strategy. Good investments come from a diverse portfolio.
If the current genres go out of style, they will be ill-equipped to easily pivot to newer trends.

It looks fine. I want it to be good, but we all know Sonic's track record. I think that is clouding most people's judgement.

I say this as someone that hasn't enjoyed a sonic game since Adventure 2. Yes, that includes Generations, Colors, and whatever else (Rush?).

Was happy to see D6 coming to Playstation finally.

But coming a year and a half later, and at $70, has me more inclined to wait for a sale.

They are dead to me for leaving Indivisible unfinished and not honoring the stretch goals that were funded.

Yeah, the developers Lab Zero imploded following controversy, but the team essentially made their own independent studio separate from the head executive. As publisher, 505 should have the ability to still get the remaining content finished. I can't see it as anything other than them taking an easy out to renege on promises.

I continue to find the lukewarm reception to this game on pushsquare interesting. Graphics were a point of contention in the review yet I don't see how it looks substantially worse than Elden Ring, which has been a huge hit. Obviously not on the same system, but it's miles better than Legends Arceus...

Anyways, it looks like a fine game. Something I'll pick up later after playing some other games or on a sale, whichever happens first.

It's fine to enjoy either, both, or neither.

What grinds my gears is publishing reviews written by people who clearly didn't even want to play the game. It happened with Zero Dawn and it's happening with Forbidden West.

Not even saying this as a Horizon fanboy. I got Zero Dawn day one and liked it but I'm waiting for a sale for Forbidden West.

Team Sonic Racing is great. At least, it was nearly 3 years ago. Wouldn't be surprised if online multiplayer is dead.

Was mildly interested, then watched a review on youtube by an SMT content creator who tore it to pieces and basically said it wasn't worth playing.

Now we have another source mirroring that sentiment. Looks like an easy pass...

@Squanch Pardon the ignorance, but what does Nippon Icchi Software have to do with this game? Unless you're just comparing a game criticized for being grindy to something like Disgaea, which prides itself on grinding as an option...

@QBGaming12
Remaking or at least remastering Origins + Awakening is absolutely what they should, but won't, do to build up hype and customer faith in DA4 while they continue to work on it for the next (checks how many directors have left the game mid development) 7 years...

Entrapment is when law enforcement tries to make someone commit a crime. Despite the name, it doesn't have anything to do with law enforcement or other agencies setting up bait to catch opportunistic crimes. Those do actually hold up.

Great game, decent remaster.

About dang time for the long promised expansion. Unfortunately I have low hopes at this point, but would love to be proven wrong. This IP certainly deserves better.

Close to 40 platinums now. Getting trophies is fun, and I like to get the ones I can, and get all of the trophies for games I really like. If they aren't fun to get or too difficult I don't bother.
Getting digital trophies I can show off to friends and other players that show I've done things like beat every level in Little Big Planet without taking damage is neat.

That said though, trophy levels were ruined when Sony changed the scaling. What does level 300, or 400, or 500 mean? And you level up so fast that when you are actually playing new games you can't remember what you were a month ago, much less where your friends were.

Gravity Rush 2 not being on here makes me wanna cry...

DLC done right is wonderful. If a game I like a lot ends up offering new content later on, I'll most likely support it. I don't buy DLC to fix a game though, or offer a more complete experience.

I think by now it should be easy for most people to spot the difference.

I'm not really sure what the point of this short write up is. It is such a barebones "review" that barely talks about the new additions from Maxima.

While I'm loving the DLC upgrade, I'd only recommend it to fans who are very attached to the base game. For those who haven't played it at all, Maxima is the best way to play.

While not really an "expansion", Maxima adds a bunch of small things that go a long way to improving the game. Being able to play as the champions, new mirages, a new Humanoid (non-chibi) playable character, a new high level dungeon, more super bosses, new game plus (with a higher difficulty specifically made for this) and some more small things like added lore books and quality of life changes makes a good DLC package in my book.
