I played it on the PS3. Got about halfway through it, but there was a stealth bit I couldn't get past, so gave up. Still have a PS3, so I might download it again!

there's loads of games I used to play when I was younger I just gave up when I got to a part I couldn't finish. Now I just grab my phone and look up how to do it if I struggle with how to complete a puzzle or where to find something if I can't figure it out after 10 or 15 minutes.

I finished Blasphemous 100% last night. Regrettably, I did all the requirements for the good ending, so I wasn't able to view both endings. Overall, the game was really fun, and has a lot of interesting imagery and themes.
One particular high was the second to last boss fight. Since this game is a platformer Souls-like, natrually most bosses are either giant hulking damage bombs or smaller quick/over the top dodgefests. The second to last boss balanced things really well. The boss is a small enemy, but not particularly fast, and telegraphs attacks in a fair manner. The boss' basic pattern is sword slashes that have large hit areas like a large boss, and a ground slam that sends out shock waves. On top of that, this boss can parry your attacks, and you can counter parry, so there is a really good mix of parry, dodge, and attack. The thing I really liked about this was that this fight felt like a proper sword fight between two equals.
As far a negatives go, they're really just a few small nitpicks. A couple of the achievements and collectibles are really convoluted. One of them is for completing a multipart quest without people dying. I kept finding the items required, but no indication that I wasn't delivering them at the right time or before fighting certain bosses. No way I would figure that out without a guide. One of the collectibles using a ground slam move that you get. Only one. Sure, the item states that it can break unstable flooring, but this is the only place it is actually used, and there is little to no visual indication that you need to use it there. There were a couple others that use mechanics that aren't really explained unless you go out of your way to check in the options for a tutorial, but once you figure out how those mechanics work, it makes sense in context of the area. Other than that, a few little control oddities and some cheap hits from a couple of bosses weakened the experience slightly, but not enough to ruin the experience.
Still trying to get a Boss Rush win with The Lost on Binding of Isaac... Came really close yesterday, had a one shot boss build, but an off screen laser from The Bloat crushed my dreams

Interesting the description says purple, but the image says pink...
I'm still pissed I missed out on the last Master Boot Record Vinyl. =(

I quite liked the design but there’s nothing game wise to make me buy it at launch. I’ll probably wait until GTA 6 comes out before getting one.

Wow. Even a picture of that thing attracts fingerprints and pet hair.

It definitely looks different. Probably be some fun two-tone colour variants down the road.
Some interesting looking games, but I don't get consoles at launch out of principle. Deathloop has an awesome design aesthetic and looks fun. That Little Devils Inside game looks cool too.

I didn’t like the switch to first person but I’m in the minority on that I’m pretty sure. They nail the atmosphere and the story is solid, it’s just a different game imo.

I like the PS5 design a lot. I plan on getting at launch as I've never done that before with a console. That'll all depend on what actually gets released with it, and if anything else takes priority with my money at the time. Gran Turismo 7 could be pretty exciting if it can capture the magic of 2&3
It’s fucking great and scary as shit in the first half.

Yes, it's great. If you're a horror fan, play it.
Yeah they didn't even say HZD was a launch game, and even that Miles Morales Spiderman thing is more of a new part of a 'remastered' version of the PS4 Spiderman. I just hope they don't release anything too great for a while so I can wait for the inevitable console revision.
