    You really dodged a bullet there tbh.

    The game was just a bit too ambitious and released way too early… it was basically Witcher 3 + GTA in a cyberpunk setting.

    Let’s see if they managed to turn the game around.

    Wanted more games with the awesome haptic feedback, triggers and load times. Just didn’t want to go back to a ps4 game.

    I completely understand this… The only game that really felt like it was next gen (or current gen) so far was Returnal.

      I couldn’t agree more man. Returnal has absolutely blown me and I’m thirsting for more.

      If you haven’t played it yet I’d recommend you control. Not quite like returnal, and came out on ps4 actually I think. But also makes great use of the controller, has a dash mechanic and also a weird story that is super interesting. I loved both of them and it depends on the day which I would say is like my favorite game

        It was so amazing! I really was blown away… but unfortunately nothing since then came close.

        Ah yes control - I got myself the platinum twice, but excellent recommendation! Have you played Alen Wake Remastered? It’s also from the studio of Control (Remedy) and plays in the same connected universe.

          Omfg yes, exactly the same! And I’m kinda mad it’s overlooked like that. It’s not just good or something, it’s THE game of the generation so far. I can’t believe people are missing out on it.

          The other PS exclusives, I loved horizon for being this graphical achievement and how they upgraded the gameplay from the previous one. But as it was said like 5 million times already, Aloy needs to shut the fuck up sometimes. Now the puzzles aren’t always super straight forward and I could use a little help here and there, but me arriving at any destination ‘maybe I can attach my ropecaster there’ before I’ve even seen anything just got really boring to me. I got the plat nonetheless, and found every of the main collectibles. The story was very cool imo, it had incredible new enemies and stuff… but this handholding really left a bitter taste in my mouth

          Ironic enough, I started my Alan Wake playthrough like last week! I kind of held off because after returnal that gameplay just seemed slow and I’ve read it didn’t age that well, as it’s quite old. But honestly I’m having a blast. I’m having constant goosebumps playing it lol. It’s not insanely good and snappy like returnal, but the mechanic with the flashlight is just incredible and the world is so interesting. Remedy is really good when it comes to world building.
