Never have I felt that a game has so desperately wanted to waste my time than when I was playing Ghost of Tsushima. It's not just the repetitive quest design, combat, world, and collectibles either. In ALL of this game's cutscenes and every piece of dialogue, Sucker Punch Productions demands that you be there, watching, waiting for the next piece of meaningless exposition so you can continue with the equally boring gameplay loop.

In my 10 or so hours with this game, I didn't encounter a single thing GoT does better than the giants of the third-person lite action RPG genre. Hell, I truly believe modern Assassin's Creed games are leagues ahead of this. It feels like SP set out to create a game meant to be played by someone who has never played an action game before.

If this hadn't been a PlayStation exclusive with a Japanese-centric theme, there is no way it would've received the praise it did. In my almost 15 years on Steam, Ghost of Tsushima has been my greatest regret and the single worst purchase I've made... even with a 33% discount.

Only clowns could cause Steam to crash for an hour.

The game in its current state is simply not functional.

60 FPS cap and no ultrawide is not acceptable. The most egregious thing is that it looks much worse than The Phantom Pain too.

It's become really hard to justify putting any trust in Unreal Engine.

Let's get it out of the way, Battlefield 1 outclasses Battlefield Victory. However, since launch, BFV has been an extremely competent game that really does immerse you in the WWII theater. Everything you'd expect from Battlefield is here... yet it's just ever so slightly worse than in BF1. The gunplay, environments, maps, destruction, sound design, full-throttle, non-stop chaos on the objectives - it's all here. And, by god, if this doesn't have one of the best soundtracks in all of gaming.

I purchased BFV on Origin at launch and had a blast playing it for dozens of hours. Having recently gotten back into it now, it continues to be a joy that, along with BF1, delivers the excitement of battling in the monumental Great Wars.

Alter Rebellion bug in Act 1 has made it impossible for me to progress. All my alters are happy and have plenty of food, social spaces, and dormitory, Yet the rebellion occurs every time. Game is broken.

UPDATE: As of October 2025, it is still broken and impossible to proceed.

It's just as good as I remember.

Been playing through Patapon 1 and have had no issues with respect to input timings. Although the button prompts MUST be freely changable between the keyboard inputs, XBOX glyphs, and most importantly, Playstation glyphs. Patapon is not the same game without the iconic △ O X ◻.

EVE makes me Shift Up.

Thank you Square Enix for the relatively quick port. Do consider a simultaneous launch on PC for the next one.

Just to preface, I'm approximately 50 hours into UFO 50. I have played 35 of the 50 games in chronological order and fully completed 18 of them. A full completion is referred to as a 'cherry' in this game.

This game is incomprehensibly ambitious and I still can't wrap my head around how this was ever made and released at such an inexpensive price point. There really are 50(!) video games in this pack, each of which could have been released for $5 and nobody would bat an eye. Of course, some are better than others but there is not a single one that I've played that could be seen as being objectively bad.

As you work your way through this fictitious developer's chronology, you'll notice a marked increase in video game complexity and scope, which makes me so much more excited to try out the remaining 15 games. Many of the earlier, more simplistic games took me 1.5-2 hours for a cherry completion but the newer RPGs, puzzle games, strategy games, metroidvanias, and even an immersive sim-like are taking me upwards of 5 hours per game to cherry.

One tangential complaint I have is this game's handling of achievements, it should have shipped with 100-150 achievements with 2-3 per game to meet the gift, gold, and cherry requirements. The current achievements are extremely unrewarding and frankly dull.

I believe UFO 50 is a must-own for any gamer who even remotely enjoys the NES/SNES era of video games, and for those who don't, this is an excellent introduction and what may become an eventual deep dive into what made these games so iconic. Almost all of these games, if released in the 80s, would be talked about like Mario and Zelda are today. A tremendous accomplishment from Mossmouth.

Had a pretty fun time with The Entropy Centre. Conceptually, the whole mechanic of rewinding objects forces you to rewire your brain which does set it apart from most other games in the genre. Unfortunately, you learn to think in this way extremely early on and then the whole rest of the game is a total breeze. Not a single puzzle except for the very, very last one in the game ever really stumped me and even that one was solved in about 25 minutes. I appreciate the lengths they've gone to in stretching the rewind mechanic as far as possible but its interactions with the rest of the puzzle pieces sprinkled throughout the game are not very innovative and we've seen them in countless other first person puzzlers.

This game can be comfortably beaten with all achievements (using a guide for collectibles) in 6-7 hours making it a short and concise experience. The writing and voice acting never overstay their welcome and successfully manage to examine some pertinent questions to our time.

The Entropy Centre is not something I'd recommend to people looking to get into the genre as there are so many others who've come before and done it better, but to veterans looking for some more first person puzzle action, this is certainly worthy of your time.
