Star Trek is cool

You’re characterizing what is likely to be the best reviewed game of the year as “nothing special” and you “don’t see how” that’s a hot take? Really?

What exactly do you think “hot take” means?

Hence, “hot take.”

… it is, to date, the best reviewed game of the year

Hot take

Compared to my previous take this one is ice cold, but Elden Ring and Tears of the Kingdom.

That’s all true and it’s never really bothered me because, possible hot take incoming, PS exclusives are pretty milquetoast. I will concede that Sony’s first party studios have honed their ability to make “open world third person action game with crafting and stealth elements” with impressive consistency, but that’s the most common genre of AAA game and IMO Sony isn’t even making the best ones, just accessible and consistently above average ones.

If you want that kind of game you have a zillion options on every platform.

PC player complaining about the cost of a PlayStation is new to me. Isn’t it normally the other way around? Isn’t a PS5 about as expensive as a decent GPU alone?

This is a great list and these all look amazing. Thank you for taking the time to compile it and share!
