I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing Ghost of Yotei. Sucker Punch improved on their open world design, as discovering things out in the world feels more organic.
The newly added weapons, charms, etc. add much more to the gameplay variety. The sound and art direction are also top notch. Should be in contention for GOTY.

I'm currently about 30 hours into the game and it improves on its predecessor in every way. The biggest improvement comes from the pacing. You're given so many tools early on that tailor to however you're aiming to play, either via stealth or full on aggression. The graphics are top notch and the in-game music player is greatly appreciated. Definitely a contender for game of the year!!

One of the best gaming experiences I've had in quite some time. From the unique world, the soundtrack and the interactive turn-based combat...it's all very well done!! The developers poured a lot of passion into this project and it shows. I can't recommend it enough.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time playing Astro Bot, as it reminded me of gaming in my youth. You can tell the developers poured a lot of passion into this project, and numerous references to Playstation history was a nice touch. The game looks great and the controls are very responsive, which is a must for a platformer. Can't recommend enough!!
The sun is setting upon the land of Valisthea. For centuries, people have flocked to her Mothercrystals to partake of their blessing~the abundant aether that fuels the magicks they rely upon in their everyday lives. But as the aether begins to fade and the lifeless deadlands spread ever further, so too does the struggle over the final flickers of the Mothers' light grow ever more fierce. Bloody battle rages across the realm, rival nations sending their ultimate weapons against each other: the Dominants. Men and women within whom sleep the world-shattering power of an Eikon. There are few in Valisthea whose lives have not been touched by this war for the crystals' blessing, and Clive Rosfield, firstborn son of the Archduke of Rosaria, is no exception. Unlike most, however, the vicissitudes of fate are to reveal to him the dark truth that lies at the heart of his world, and lead him on a mission to destroy those selfsame Mothercrystals the rest of the realm hold sacred.

One of my new favorite entries in the series. The boss battles were full of spectacle and what I enjoyed the most. Was surprised by the character development for many of the side characters through the quests, especially in the latter part of the game.
Swing, jump, and utilize the new Web Wings to travel across Marvel~s New York, quickly switching between Peter Parker and Miles Morales to experience different stories and epic new powers, as the iconic villain Venom threatens to destroy their lives, their city, and the ones they love.

A sequel that improves on the original in every way. Loved the ability to swap between both Spider-Men and fighting the various bosses. Great setpieces!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing this. It's an improvement on GoW 2018 in almost every way. A satisfying conclusion to the Norse story, while leaving things open for the next chapter for many of these characters.

I've thoroughly enjoyed my time playing Forbidden West. It's improved upon the first game in every way. The graphics are top notch. The machines are more varied, and there are more ways than ever to take them down. I'm still making my way through the story, but have enjoyed the new twists which add even more to the lore. Excited for more.

Use Element Blasters, tag-team beat downs, jet boot-powered dropkicks, nothing~s off-limits. If you think it~s all going to plan, you~re in for a world of surprises, with the consequences of your actions guaranteed to keep the Guardians on their toes. In this original Marvel~s Guardians of the Galaxy story, you~ll cross paths with powerful new beings and unique takes on iconic characters, all caught in a struggle for the galaxy~s fate.

I decided to take a flyer on this game as Best Buy was running a sale where it was only $30. Best $30 I've spent in quite some time. The game nails the characters and chemistry between the squad. The combat takes a bit getting used to, but as you unlock more abilities, it's a blast issuing commands to the team. I can't recommend playing this game enough.
Enjoy a seamless, wireless experience with a headset fine-tuned for 3D Audio on PS5 consoles. The PULSE 3D wireless headset features a refined design with dual noise-cancelling microphones, built-in rechargeable battery, and an array of easy-access controls.

At this price point, I'm not sure you'll find a better headset. I've been pleased with the sound quality, as it definitely adds another layer of immersion while playing.
