Raven boss fight music is so out of pocket that it's legitimately cool as fuck, it foes not fit with the game so far but none of the music had and damn, I love it, it's creates a vibe on par with death Stranding and I'd really like to see more games choose this philosophy of going out side the box with music instead of the same orchestra music every damn game. It really works it shouldn't, like Death Stranding it should feel cheap but it doesn't, it feels premium and fills the game with vibes.

Nice one. It's a good cool looking one. 



Beaten it, I'll just paste what I said in the 2024 games thread. 

Absolutely Fantastic game, brings things back to a time when games were just games and has reminded me that I've become severely fatigued with the Sony, deep narrative route and I play games for the fun of it, not having the controller snatched out of my hand every few steps or ten hour long tutorials and hand holding like it's your first video game ever. 

This was insanely addictive, flawed ... maybe, but at the same time maybe not, it just is what it is and it's insanely fucking cool and an immensely fun game. Elden Ring was the last time I had this much uninterrupted fun and I'd say this surpassed it on that level if though for a shorter period of time and speaking of Fromsoft, this game became Sekiro near the end, perhaps because I refused to do a guide on some essential health upgrades or perhaps by design but the last three bosses on what I believe is the true ending where quite challenging. 

10/10. Phenomenal. Most purely fun game I've played in many years, maybe ever. Now straight into another playthrough on hard mode.

Raven's boss music is top tier on a soundtrack that is flat out amazing. When I died, I didn't continue the game right away just so I could listen to it. It caught me off guard and by that point in the game, I was used to the music being very good. Stellar Blade's OST is phenomenal, best I've heard in years. I haven't been this enamored with a soundtrack since The Last Remnant. Say whatever you will about that game, that OST is exceptional. I haven't bought music in a couple decades at this point I'm seriously considering buying the Stellar Blade OST. Although it's weird for me because last time I bought music it was on a CD.

Same as you, it hit so out of left feild. I just reloaded my PSN cloud data so I can do everything from Spire 4 til the end again, thankfully it didn't sync. No need to buy it, it's all there for free on YouTube but I suppose supporting the devs is always a good thing. 



The biggest flat of this game even after the poorly presented narrative is outfits are body swap outs for Eve, outfits change her body type and some quite drastically. I don't know why I find this such a knowing issue but it's strange seeing her get ass implants all of a sudden or her chest to loose more than half the mass.



I'm half way through my last playthrough for the platinum, chipping away at it and I'm convinced this game is a masterpiece, it has claimed it's way into my top 20 and is competing with Neir Automata for its place. They both do different things really well. I would have had no idea this game was to be the greatness it is because of games journalists. Man, I'm sick of them hyping up pieces of shit like Dragons Dogma 2 (I just wasted 40 euro on that trash cause it was nearly a 9 on Opencritic) and wasting peoples money but leaving games that are this good go underrated amongst them and seen as "mid games" for the casual players out there. This is what video games are meant to be.



Got the game for around $32,50.
Should ship home next week.
