Glad you clarified what your other hand is doing tbh

IGN - 7

Anyone else getting this? I've pre-ordered already.

Frustratingly they have said no new game plus, but it's coming as free DLC in the future. Rally wish games would release as complete packages.

It's reviewing very well; 82 on Metacritic after 99 reviews.

^ Digital Foundry appear to be very impressed, too.

"A highly polished, bug-free experience". It's great to read this as we see the increasingly common "work in progress" games that are released!

Surprisingly one of the lower scores. Sounds like a game I'll definitely pick up eventually.

Good news, Godzilla - new game plus will be ready to roll as part of a day one update. Source: Push Square

^ ...and John at Digital Foundry seems happy about the day one update :-).

Great news. Just started the game, opening is very strong, really polished game.

^ Launch day trailer.

It'a very forgiving on normal difficulty. Lots of extra time and prompts too. The levels are a bit like The Surge 2 with back tracking used to unlock doors and make getting around easier. Combat flows well and enemies are varied monsters so far.

Story is a bit 90s and throwaway, but it runs very well. Has a lot of upgrades and moves and has a lot of hidden areas to explore and find more power ups.

No negatives so far.

There's uproar on twitter that the game is censored. Less butt.

Will be picking this up, was suppose to pre order but wanted to finish other games first. Watching my friend play and apart from the character which doesn't need to be discussed as much as it does, the games music, combat and world is something that I am looking forward too, reminds me of Nier Automata which I loved.

Gave the demo of this a go last night and thought it was pretty great. I would have bit the bullet but I forgot how much of a ripoff Sony first party stuff is.

Made me realise I haven't picked up any Sony game since GoW Ragnarok. They really strawberry floated it this gen for me.

Caved and bought this today.

Was waiting for it cheaper in CEX, but I temporarily forgot they were absolute rip off merchants and are selling it for £65.

Just grabbed it cheaper online.

I want to buy it, but the summer is coming and I'll wait until the autumn.

I enjoyed the demo and I thought it was great.

I've been enjoying it a lot. It's very accessible and some would say easy. You become over powered quite quickly. I liked the linear progression through the ruined city but now it's opened up I'm worried open world elements will hurt it. Story and lore wise it takes more than a few cues from The Matrix and to play it's kind of a mix of Souls and Nier. It's far from a stone cold classic as it's a bit wonky in places (fall damage) but it's really fun to play.

It's also, and this will come as a surprise to you all, quite horny.

How horny are we talking about?

My 9 year old son like to watch me play games and in awry of getting this and end up with a son locked in the bathroom all day.

There's no sex or anything but some of Eve's outfits are very very horny. You can choose to where something more modest (though it's all degrees of horny) and most other characters are more covered up. Only one NPC I've encountered so far is wearing a super inappropriate outfit.

While you can hide it somewhat, it's probably not a game I'd want to play in front of a 9 year old.
