The new Prince of Persia is a good time.

Also the Roguelike looks really really fun. to be fair it's just published by Ubisoft and is developed by the Dead Cells guys

i wasnt even aware there was a new prince of persia lol. that roguelike looks like a dead cells tc which frankly is fine by me

This just means they've spent a lot of money on creativity, and what's so wrong about that? You think they should have been more stingy with the creativity so they wouldn't go bankrupt?

the fact that theyre still releasing new games and not shutting down studios left and right puts them miles ahead of most other big publishers

AAAA gaming is absolutely dire right now

I will give them credit for sticking with the Japan setting after Tsushima came out and ate their open world lunch but also that game is loving doomed if it's not perfect out the gate with a direct comparison like that just sitting there

I've heard nothing but good things about the new Prince of Persia. The combat looks fun, the traversal looks good, and they did weird and wild stuff with the unlocked powers instead of the generic double jump/dash/etc. Those 3 things are basically all a metroidvania needs. The one mark against it I've seen is that it's a full price game in a genre where the norm is $30 at most and the genre-defining title is the most ridiculously underpriced game in history.

Yes, but they're specifically Castlevania Castlevanias, not Metroidvanias.

Ubisoft has been churning on their next major releases for a while now... Gotta figure if they don't all hit they're the next stop on the gamedev blood train

isn’t their next big thing that they’ve been banking on that PvP survival pirate game that’s been in development hell for like 12 years and retooled around more battle royale micro transactions now?

but yeah their last AssCree game was apparently a silent fart. no idea what they’re doing

new PoP is pretty good. Doesn't do anything mind-blowing with the genre and the story kind of happens all at once, but the things you play a metroidvania for are all there and they're all very good. $50 is a bit much but it's for sale for $30 on the ubisoft website right now, which I think is a decent deal if you like a metroid.

I think it's gone on sale now a few times, worth tracking. My only complaint is that once you get your full loadout the game shuttles you to the final boss relatively quickly.

Also some posters who played on hard said the life scaling on bosses was too much. I just played normal and it felt fine though.

The powers are really fun.

I don’t know why they didn’t just take black flag and make it more an expansive single player Pirates! game; you know, take all the parts that people liked and like making it a combination wind waker, pirates, my summer car boat,
and stuff

ya it reminds me of the portrait in Green Knight. only.... red





also Homeworld 3 is out and has a 7/2 split in pro/user reviews. lots of people freaking out about DRM at first glance.

all I noticed is the cutscenes are look like Destiny CG instead of stylish animatics. Deserts of Kharak was a nice evolution of the style, they should have continued with that

no game that has both Japanese and English support has the courage to let you turn on subtitles in both languages at once cause then you'd realize how woke the translation was.
