If you played Baldur’s Gate 3, Jennifer English voiced Shadowheart

@Judal27 Sorry to hear that. Played a little more of the demo and it's been everything I was hoping for.

@Judal27 so interesting! I think it's better than SMT in literally every way and I put it on the same tier so far as Persona, and 5 is one of my favorite games of all time.

I'm having a blast and the only aspect where I think it's not quite up to Persona's standards is the music, which is still quite good! The battle theme is a little...bizarre

Sorry that you're not connecting with it as much as you would have liked.

So far I've been loving the Metaphor Demo!

Haven't had a lot of time to game so other than that it's been just a few runs of Slay the Spire.

If data carries over, I’ll do what I did with FFXVI which I was also sold on. Play it like 2-3 days before launch. 😅

@Lup depends on the version. Royal had an additional fight but I'm sure it was set up so you wouldn't be able to lose that fight either.

This is like my only instant day one buy for the rest of the year, trying to watch what I'm spending while I have a huge backlog. I don't personally mind this because I've seen enough and will definitely be picking this one up. But I can see where it's not great for the brand.

@rjejr your memory isn’t wrong. It was $100 until a price increase last year 😅

okay, as a second note (sorry), I just watched the trailer after I posted. and holy moly that is one of the worst trailers for advertising a game of all time!

I'm actually considering getting the game. I had the chance to try for free on my iPhone and I thought it could be a fun little time waster but didn't love the inaccuracy of the mobile controls, a controller would be much better.

The price point of 4.99 feels very do-able. But I have some points on my Switch so I might just get it there.

I’ve been excited about this for a long time. Haven’t had many games fill that “Elder Scrolls” feeling and this looks like it could definitely do some of that if it lives up to the hype!

I've been interested in this game since I saw early previews on steam. I have plenty to play right now though and I'm not sure I'm $44.99 interested in it

@LazyLombax as an Overwatch faithful, the monetization for the game got SO much worse when it went free to play. It depends on how Concord is set up but it could be a lot better value for someone who is interested in this type of game.

@Cherip-the-Ripper that’s weird! We haven’t really had any problems in about 15 hours of play. We’re closer in proximity (Pennsylvania to Florida, both US)

Just started recently, really enjoying it so far. I play most of these games co-op with a friend and the Quality of Life of not having to reconnect every section has been such a game changer.

@Czar_Khastik they're usually all stand alone but have some common themes, like the names of the elements and such. Sort of similar to Final Fantasy in that regard. It shouldn't be a problem to just start with this one though!

Why does this actually look good 😂

I feel like Extra has been great for me but this is one of the first months where I’m not really interested in anything (already played RDR2). I have tons of games to play right now so not a problem. Guess I could check out cat quest?

@MBalz_EsHari they added in the ability to save and quit. It’s still a rogue-like so you still start over if you die.

@Stickleman gotcha. It worked for me last night so maybe it’s only ps plus extra

@Stickleman mine works now! Then again not sure if it’s the ps plus collection / ps plus extra or both. I have both so not sure if both give free upgrades.

Do we have it confirmed or not if the free ps plus or ps plus extra versions will include a free upgrade?

Never got around to Tchia, but it is what it is. I always intended to play the Outer Wilds, so might download that today to check it out.

I remember this game was ok, and I remember roughing it out at the end after a save left me almost no health to beat Darth Maul. I remember fighting him for over an hour with low health lol.

but as for a different but related game, Jedi Power Battles was amazing! I have so many good memories playing that one. More fun and it had co-op.

@CaptD haha no problem on my end. I know there are limited hours in the day but I wish this site covered VR better. A lot of things slip through the cracks so there aren't official places to discuss games not covered (besides the forums I guess). I feel like PushSquare is super reliable on regular PS5 news.

On topic so I'm not just talking about a different game on this article, I think Stilt definitely looks interesting but is much lower on my priority list (bottom third) and would have to be a deep sale imo.

@Amnesiac ohhhhh. yeah, I've seen a ton of people get upset about that on the reddit. Doom and Gloom and the world is over because they're not porting.

@Amnesiac for what it's worth, wasn't trying to be negative, more along the lines of trying to defend the developer. I guess the biggest issue seen was with a HOTAS controller not responding correctly. He said it's a known issue and is in the day one patch.

I've never played this type of game in VR outside of the Star Wars flight demo, definitely interested in learning more about it

@CaptD fyi the game released before the developer intended, so no day one patch. He said it was going to be more like a day 5 patch at this point.

Just for what it’s worth 😁

@Grumblevolcano ok good to know. Thanks!

@somnambulance I don't expect them to do it, especially with DLC winding down. Epic probably wants them to focus on Fortnite Festival. I would make the suggestion to Epic and nor Harmonix because they won't have any control over it.

@WolfyTn I guess it depends on what you're used to. I remember having a third party controller that was a lot more clicky in the strum bar. I have mostly the main stratocasters. I just did a strum test and my unofficial opinion is that the new one made for Rock Band 4 is a little less clickier than the one I have for Rock Band 2. But apparently both Mad Catz and PDP made guitars for Rock Band 4 per the comment above, I have the Mad Catz one

@Grumblevolcano weird, it looks like Mad Catz and PDP both made instruments for RB4. Not sure the timeline of which was which. I know the main Fender Stratocaster that came with the band in the box was made by Mad Catz who went out of business.

@somnambulance If they released a PS5 version of the game, it would just be an outcry for more instruments. if you didn't know, their instrument manufacturer for RB4 went out of business and people won't shut up about it on their channels. Every comment is talking about more instruments when they've explained that it's not possible in the foreseeable future.

If they are getting more in the future, it's because Epic decided to take care of it. Hard to believe but they're an indie company that sold themselves to keep making games but eventually bought back their independence. Now they belong to Epic.

Booooooooo!

Octopath 2 deserves top 5 and you don’t even have it on the honorable mention list.

Some great ones on the top 10 but too many glaring omissions, notably Octopath 2.

My top 3 would be:

1. Red Matter 2
2. Synapse
3. RE: Village

@Mad001 I definitely couldn’t get into Elder Scrolls Online, just felt too far from the real thing. Played Fallout 76 in 2022 for a bit and got into it but still just wasn’t as good as the regular Fallout. Couldn’t get my friends into it so I mostly played solo for a while. Would have definitely preferred just a new fallout or elder scrolls game, so I’m with you on that point.

@Mad001 It was created as an online game, like Elder Scrolls online. Being online is one of its main features

@BetaRabbit64 or just wait for them to patch it hopefully

@Broosh I know there’s at least co-op. The way they claimed, it sounded to be a lot more seamless and normal than regular souls. I really want to hear more about how it’s actually implemented though. Not sure of pvp but I’d assume so

@Mikey856 Keep your eye out for Vertigo 2. It's supposed to be around Half Life Alyx quality and coming out in 2 weeks or so. I don't feel like Push Square has really brought this one up but it seems like one of the biggest vr games coming this holiday.

Compared to other should have been great but the ports were let downs until we get graphic updates like Green Hell and Hellsweeper, this one seems really promising for a good launch. Obviously check reviews but it really should be one to watch for.

@Tecinthebrain "imagine that there were no first party Sony studios not making games for the PS5"

But isn't that true? We don't know about anything past Spiderman except Helldivers which I believe is being published by Sony. I don't believe for a second that Sony is sitting on their butts doing nothing, I think we just don't know about their upcoming plans - and I believe that includes PS5 and PSVR2. I think this is less of a gotcha than you think and more of a "Sony is keeping their cards extremely close to their chest" situation.

The “it has no games” argument is ridiculous. Just looking at the October release dates.

I’m sure this will be fun though

Disco Elysium would be great!!! Gotham knights too but my game in co-op is firmly Baldur’s gate 3 for the near future

My multi class isn't on the list haha. I'm a Bardlock. Going to eventually get to 10 Bard / 2 Warlock.

I think this looks incredibly good 😁

@Gooseman42 yeah Hellsweeper is the one for me. Ruinsmagus looks really cool though, just not a day one

BG3 is my first Baldur’s gate but I did play Divinity 2

Just started 1978 because it's on sale but this is the one I really want to play. I'll get this day one

@Perryg92 actually there’s even more! Jurassic park, garden of the sea, last labyrinth, organ quarter, brain beats, etc

@Perryg92 looks like Demeo, Pixel Ripped, and Until You Fall are on sale. Honestly I was waiting for a price drop on Pixel Ripped. Might grab it now!

My friend got this game (on pc) and he's having a lot of fun with it. He's a pretty experienced player for DBD and also played Friday the 13th. I was worried matches would be too similar but it seems in the early stages he's having a lot of fun.

While I'm not personally interested in buying this because I have DBD and also a TON of games to buy this year, I figured I'd put that input out there.
