Nah, I'm not dissing it, the fact that I'm still playing 3 hours in says there is something sticky here, I just find it hard to rate and like you it's not too bad. I like that there is actual tension and you have to choose your battles, no running and gunning. It's just not as good as Robo Cop but these devs definitely have potential, going from this to Robo Cop and on what looks like miniscule budgets, I'd say they have great AAA potential or even to make a AAA like game on a AA budget. If they follow the trajectory from this to Rogue City what they create next should be pretty great. 

Found a really interesting game that released a few days ago, Karma The dark world. It's a SOMA like game I believe and supposedly a very good one. I can't get substantial data but it seems to be in the region of not much longer than 5-7 hours, so nice and bite sized. Screenshots on the games page look pretty damn nice and all. Set in 1984 Germany so some nostalgia bait mixed in there. Def climbed my list suddenly and could be a nice palette cleansing title. 

Thanks, for this detailed answer. I will try it on both the ps5 and pc and decide then what I will use. I would prefer playing with the quest3 controllers and having both hands useable if that works instead of just the dual shock.

Weekly gaming update

Only played a bit of Driveclub this week - still going through the DLC for Driveclub.

Also played Dragon Ball Z Kakarot - finished the Namek/Frieza Saga, doing intermission side quests.

Also played a bit of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade - still on Chapter 9 but I'm at the final bit.

Playing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on my PS5 along with the Jak & Daxter Collection on my PS Vita and Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on my Switch.

I'm trying to play more Hitman 3 PSVR2 but I've never had a game crash so often and consistently ever on console.

VR is cursed lol.

Finally a full game yet nothing but glitches and crashes :/ (About 30 crash reports send so far in 3 days)

And another fun interaction today. The game wanted me to turn a knob, or was indicating to twist my wrist 720 degrees, kept resetting if I tried to take over with my other hand or take a new grip. (Turned out you have to wiggle the knob to turn it and it was a progress bar rather than a keep rotating this way bar lol)

Did Sony fire all of their QA department?

Rise of the Ronin is not the game you'd think it to be, it's an Assassin's Creed like game with more of a focus on combat, placed somewhere between the old style and the RPG AC games, I wanna say it's like GoT and it is in some ways with the camera angle but it leans more towards map chaos and map meters like old AC. It has a fantastic setting, one not very much explored but I screwed the believability cause I choose the female Blade Twin thinking the game was going to have the two as an option and that was the gimmick which is a mechanic they should have stuck with. The game is by far Team Ninjas best looking game, it's still pretty ass but no image quality issues and no ailising also which is very odd for the studio, it's super clean and tidy and pop in goes largely unnoticed while playing the game. 

The problem I find most with the game is that since stuff is level scaled and there is difficulty options, none of it feels balanced so I'm on normal difficulty and level appropriate stuff is far to easy but Twilight difficulty is far to harsh so going after the higher level stuff on Normal feels the way to go but then going bavk to the main path things feel way too easy again. Team Ninja are not good with difficulty balance as anyone who has played Wu Long would know so I don't know why they thought they could make this work, I'm just going to assume they aren't going for difficulty here despite the first linear 2 hours which were fantastic. God I hate difficulty settings, I wish they had let players grind who didn't want a challenge but then again Nioh games are very balanced but often a little too difficult.

They've done traversal really well here with horses and gliders and grabbed hooks but that the open world feels generic however despite this it works well overall cause of the combat and cause of that combat I'm going to assume I'll get into clearing the map in an addicting way regardless of the checklist nature of it. The skill system is nonsense and it's another team Ninja Loot fest but it's great that you can play with any weapon cause there is no weapon scaling.

I'm torn so far but the combat it keeping me going and the parry button being in an odd spot along with some weird timing is keeping this fresh for me and the kids pulse mechanic from Nioh is really cool, that's something that could have saved Khazan and I'm still really pissed of about that game having such a minor issue reck the whole experience.

Oh good lord. That was a long write up basically talking into the aether.

Nice. Rebirth is a fantastic game. D9 the Jak and Daxter games have trophy support?

They do!
