The Wombat writes: In the early years of gaming, a lot of games were tough by necessity. Arcade games were tough so they could munch more of your hard earned quarters. Home console games were tough as a substitute for longer (or better) content. As gaming has evolved, many developers have taken advantage of the sweeping changes in technology to create longer more involved games that are less concerned with difficulty and more concerned with killer graphics or immersion. As a side effect of this progression fewer and fewer games every year are hardcore, beat you down, and throw your controller through the nearest wall tough. Once in a while a game comes along and bucks this trend. Demon's Souls is an immersion filled experience with great graphics and solid gameplay. It's not trying to munch your quarters and it's certainly not trying to stretch out its lengthy campaign. Demon's Souls is difficult by design not by necessity. You will die...a lot. You will get frustrated. If you allow this game to get its hooks in you, however, you will push through levels that are challenging at best and nearly Sisyphean at their worst and find an experience that is unlike any other console RPG.
With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond
PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?
Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.
GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.
But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.
Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.
Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.
I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.
You might not be able to believe this, but Dark Souls is a pretty tricky game on the PlayStation 3.
There's no better way to enjoy your PS5 than with friends, so here's our picks of the best co-op games on the console.
