FF16's issues are a plenty and have nothing to do with being different. Plenty of FF games are different and loved. The combat system is overly simple. It's not even great for ARPG when Origins did a better job. For all the hype of having a DMC combat director, it's as shallow as it gets with none of the depth or nuance of DMC. The female characters are all written horribly. Evil for the sake of it, And others like Jill suddenly become helpless damsels for no good reason. It's not an RPG when I can kill fire enemies with fire attacks. That's just nonsense. Again something Origin did better. The side quests are awful. The second half of the game drags and the pacing is overly long. I did like the giant boss fights as those were done by Platinum Games. Rebirth and Origin are good ARPGs that are actual ARPGs. Pretty much any issue 16 has Rebirth and Origin lack.

Oh. Ty.

Returnal so far. Gonna play Rachet and Clank now after Metaphor so perhaps that will beat it, looks really good and beatable, returnal doesn't seem like a game that would be beatable unless the formula changes somehow. Pretty disappointed by Demon souls so far but I'm early in it yet, seems too overly simple after Elden Ring. But yeah, Returnal actually hooked me straight away and still has me playing in between sessions of Metaphor, really cool game but so many PS5 titles yet to try.

It can be multi platform in the sense that it’s a next Generation game. Just not on PS4. I imagine this thread will probably not Have nearly as many choices as the previous one did considering that we are only halfway through the GEN and a lot of games released on multiple consoles. In retrospect, maybe I should have PS4 and PS5 together

Demons Souls is my favorite exclusive.

Demon. Still the best souls game, IMO. And it looks and plays amazing.

I'm fine with it otherwise, but had I known it beforehand I would have nominated at least Elden Ring and Forbidden West for PS4 then. The experiences are just better on PS5, so I was planning on leaving them for this one. Now they just kind of get lost in between the two generations, and Elden Ring is probably my second favourite game counting all of PS4 and PS5 games.

For exclusives, its Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart and Astro Bot for me both fantastic. Lowkey Stellar Blade is way better than it had any right to be.

For non-exclusive games that released for the console, Elden Ring and Unicorn Overlord are the ones ive played the most, so theyd be my pick.

I find it overly simple and no weapons or Gear are dropping for me, I put it on hold cause I don't know what I'm missing, about it. It doesn't feel like souls for some reason but it certainly is the best looking game. Looks nearly photo Real at times in certain lighting.
