I was very hyped for a long time, I even played the demo before buying it.
>"It's hands-down the best thing we've played in 2024." It really is looking to be that way for me too. The Akademia and battle theme are my favorite from the OST so far!
@PJ O'Reilly The devs have said that you cannot finish all the dungeons in one playthrough, but given how they have said the same thing with Persona games before, I want to know if that's the case or if you can indeed do everything if you plan accordingly.
>"One spike in difficulty for an early boss ruins the flow a little getting started" @PJOReilly I'm at THAT part! I agree, the jump in difficulty is real. I love this game, it has soul in every detail. Another thing I like is that the presentation and monster designs gave me Soul Sacrifice vibes.
Outstanding showcase, and great work making this article. Perfect Dark is what us Dishonored and Deus Ex fans deserve after being treated so badly. It looks awesome!
Just Phil on stage, lights on him, a big screen behind him boots up showing the Gamepass logo, then a Hi-Fi Rush song and Phil starts dancing like he owns Valve, the screen keeps showing the same thing until after 4 amazing minutes when he makes a finishing move pointing at the screen which now shows: Gamepass Ultimate Golden only 29,99
As a card games enthusiast, I did not expect Balatro to be this good just watching the trailers. I meant to try it a little but ended up hooked for a few hours. I agree with this review, great game!
@NintendoByNature I mean the second time you fight the same boss, it's the fight after you shoot arrows to the four guardians. Yeah, I had little problem playing on hard until this boss lmao
@Dimey You play what you want to play, but if you are worried about "missing games" then let me help you: so you have a SeX and soon a PS5, then you're going to "miss" Nintendo games and some PC exclusives. Cheers!
@NarutosBiggestFan Hey kid, maybe you didn't get the memo, but Xbox has the same or even more "single player campaign games" this gen than PS. Or perhaps you're stuck on the first half of the PS4 era, and you just woke up lmao
Segabros we ***** won! It was the best reveal in the show and I need to see what they're doing with Streets of Rage. Looking forward to that "and more..." too.
Great games specially Innocence, it would be fine to get a prequel or maybe a different story in the same universe but as everyone is saying Requiem doesn't need a sequel. Maybe it's a new IP, who knows.
You can't be mad at the existence of new tools and expect to be taken seriously. Each developer will have to use it well depending on what game they want to make. AI is not magic.
