Not what I was hoping for, but I'll be happy to give it a go.

Spider-Man
Shadow of the Colossus
Hollow Knight

Trailers like this do nothing for me. I like to see gameplay.

They clearly made this decision a while back. Modeling a suit like this isn't something that can be whipped up overnight.
It was probably always planned as a Christmas surprise, but brats had to whine and beg.

Ace Combat 7.
I've been tempted to get into the series for years. But now I'm finally ready.

If anyone figures out how to do this in the U.S., please let me know!

This is cool but if Sony has all this data, why don't they give us open access to it!? Heck, I could look up play time per game on my Wii and Wii U. PS4 has no excuse.

I just want to say thanks to PushSquare. As far as I can tell, the news of this sale hasn't been posted anywhere else online. When I order my bundle on Sunday I'll make sure to click through your affiliate link just to show my appreciation 😎

@DualWielding The move controllers aren't even used for Astrobot, Moss, or most other VR games. That said, I'm tempted to get the move controllers just for Superhot, Beat Saber, and Rez Infinite.

Supposedly this started at GameStop today. I think I'm gonna go pick up the AstroBot/Moss bundle.
EDIT: I was misinformed by GameStop. Went to go buy it and they said the ad dropped today but the price isn't active until Sunday. 🙄

@rjejr Teslagrad is fantastic. I've beaten it several times and I highly recommend it.

If someone showed me this footage and asked me to guess what game it is... I would never in a million years guess it's related to BG&E. As a big fan of the original, this looks NOTHING like what I want out of a sequel.

I bought both Danger Zone games day one.
DZ1 was phenomenal and I highly recommend it. And it seems to have gotten a ton of extra content when I went back to it recently.
DZ2 I was very disappointed by. Theoretically it's a better game, but the level design and puzzle focus really pales compared to the first game.

Smash Bros Ultimate

I would have preferred if this review were written BY a fan of the series TO fans of the series. We already know the shortcomings the series is famous for. We just want to know how this game changes things up compared to 4.1.
If I loved 4.1, does this feel like a worthless repeat? Or does it feel like a proper sequel with new weapons, locations, and enemies?

Viewtiful Joe 3. PLEASE!

Everybody's Golf. I thought Sammy was a bit daff with how he praised a golf game. Well, I'm a little late to the party but he was so right. I even bought 3 DLC levels because I'm enjoying it so much.

I got this on Switch (where it released first) and it is honestly my favorite game this year. Such a simple concept, but it is executed so perfectly. I've gotten diamond time trophies on every level (and a bunch of new levels will be added in as free DLC).

I just picked this up for $30 in the Black Friday PSN sale. I've never been into golf at all, but really liked the description of how the controls work. I am not disappointed! This game is truly skill based and seems like a game where I'll get better simply from personal improvement rather than due to increasing stats and skill trees.

I agree that it's better when they give away new indie games that could be easily overlooked otherwise. With bigger releases like MGSV, Just Cause 3, Destiny 2, etc...if I didn't buy it, it's not a game I truly care to play. Nobody is going to overlook those big games. Not buying them is a conscious choice for reasons of taste.
Sure, lots of people have downloaded the AAA PS+ titles, but I wonder what percentage have actually played them any significant amount.

At this point, PUBG desperately needs to become free to play if they want any hope of regaining relevance after Fortnite took over.

If I really love a game, I'm happy to pre-order the DLC (even when it's arguably not great value for the money). Here's how I look at it--I enjoy supporting developers that have created content that I value. I almost view DLC as an opportunity to "tip" developers who made an incredible base game, and I get a bit of extra content as thanks for my patronage.

BTW, I've bought the DLC for Breath of the Wild, Horizon Zero Dawn, Spider-Man, Trials Fusion, and Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle. No regrets.

@johncalmc The song is included. Alternatively, the creators made it so you can disable the included song and use your own music with this theme. A nice touch.

I just finished the first DLC pack today. I thought it was quite enjoyable. I really liked the screwball challenges, so I'll be happy if there are more of those.

Fun fact: In college I introduced myself to everyone as Sketch and even most of my professors called me that instead of my real name.

I loved the game Comix Zone because it combined my two passions as a kid... Video games and drawing. 41 is my favorite number because it's prime and I just like how it sounds.

Alien Isolation is by far one of the best PS4 games, imo. I'd place it in the top 3.

I really want this game but not for 40 bucks. It looks great, but it's still Tetris.

I'm amazed how many people have gotten the various trophies (Platinum or otherwise) for this game. I mean, unlocking all suits is no piece of cake, considering the challenge tokens required. And stopping every crime in every district takes a while.

I didn't enjoy the combat of KH 1 and 2 on PS2. I love Disney and theoretically I want to be a KH fan, but so far videos of 3 are beautiful to watch but I'm not sure if the gameplay is any better.

"Because everything in anime, when all’s said and done, is about crystals."
😂😂😂

Too bad I can't play this without VR. Otherwise I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Doesn't change the fact that I'd rather have it on Switch 😂

I will most likely buy this, but I'll wait at least a year for a Switch version.

@Flaming_Kaiser So if I don't have PS+ I can't play? Yuck, no thanks.

I think this game looks amazing. My main question is if it will have a strong single player campaign that doesn't require going online. Has this been confirmed?

I would subscribe if it included PS3 games.

Do we get to download AC5 immediately? Or will it be closer to release?

Ace Combat and EDF Iron Rain are the two I want to see.

I haven't bought a Tetris since the original on Gameboy, but this is one of my most anticipated games of the year.

Seems a logical choice to me. The campaigns take a LOT of resources to develop, and pretty much the only one to get widespread positive acclaim was CoD4. The vast majority of sales come from interest in the multiplayer, so dedicate more time and money to that instead.

@Rogueleader76 Actually, there's a part in Pete's monologue where he actually explains how he won a lifetime supply of backpacks 😂
I love that they bothered to include an explanation for that.

@GKO900 I am aware that the numbers on PushSquare have an assigned meaning, which is great. Unfortunately, many people seem to disregard those descriptions and instead focus on their subjective response to the number.

I think we all like having a quick score as a summary for those times we're not sure we even want to take time to read the detailed review.

The problem with a 1-10 system though is that for most people, 8, 9, and 10 are the only numbers that matter. So you essentially have 3 tiers of quality games, and a bunch of tiers for the "not great" games. This is silly. There should be more levels between good and future all-time classic.

Using a "word score" system (as I described in my above post) eliminates this.

I think it would be better to only assign a "score " that is words instead of a number. For example:

Fantastic
Very good
Good
Decent
Poor
Terrible

If you do this, you don't run the risk of people subjectively tying an opinion to a number.

I also think a great idea is rating on multiple core factors (graphics, controls, fun factor, etc) instead of (or at least in addition to) assigning only an overall rating.

Wow, that's a short release window! Glad I bought the Deluxe Edition.

I knew this was coming but had no idea they would include characters other than the 4 that have single player campaigns. This is amazing!

I helped Kickstart the game, got it on PC, bought a PC copy for a friend, and then bought it again on Switch. I feel I have adequately supported this great game 😁

Did they add online yet? I know it was coming.

Edit: Whoops, I was thinking of Human Fall Flat. Gang Beasts has always had online.

3 is my favorite. I also quite enjoyed VR Missions, honestly.
Personally, I think the first MGS is highly overrated. Sure the story telling and presentation were amazing, but as a game it was seriously flawed toward the second half of the game.
