For me

  1. Bloodborne

2.Demon souls bluepoint remake

  1. Ghosts of Tsushima

4.God of War

5.The last of us/ Uncharted.

  1. Rachet + clank

All good to great

Death stranding and Horizon = slop dog shit Imo could not finish them

These are the ones I’ve personally played.

DS is the only one I would rate. The rest are video game equivalent of marvel slop. Excepting fromsoft. Ghost has nice art direction, but is an Ubisoft game at heart.

That’s fair. I was able to look past the generic gameplay because of the art direction and “samurai lol”. It’s a good ubisoft game, but yeah it does follow that formula (ghosts).

Demon Souls and Bloodborne are far and away the best things sony has in its exclusives library.

I like the God of war Reboot and Sequel, and I like The last of Us, but yes they do veer to close to feeling like Marvel in a video game. Especially God of war.

Spiderman and its sequels were movie game cinematic slop dog shit. Seriously who’s idea was it to give Spiderman 2 so many 9s?

That game was boring as fuck.

I think we mostly agree with DS being the only disagreement. I’ve never played a version of TLOU with acceptable performance, but I highly anticipate the day when an acceptable port/emulation of 2 arrives.

The GoW reboots are cool in terms of ideas, I should give them another shot now that the hype has died down. I just wish it had more complex combat. I went from playing dmcV to to the reboot port though, so that might have biased me. I think the real issue I had was how so many mechanics are locked and I had to watch cutscenes written by poor writers to slowly unlock the stuff.

Spider-Man coasts off the movement mechanics, they nailed that aspect. It’s like death stranding for the marvel brained, in that it has flashy but shallow movement that feels good while lacking depth or Ludo-narrative resonance.

I still need to play bloodborne. Apparently the emulator is almost there.

Are the ratchet games good? I loved the originals on ps2.

Edit: oh, and horizon. “Is that a ledge? Maybe I should climb the ledge.” Just constant shallow puzzles and ubi design.

I quite like pretty much all of those except TLoU. My favorites are BB and modern GoW. Not included in your list but extremely good: Returnal, Helldivers (been playing since the OG ), and Returnal, which is the best game I’ve played since Bloodborne.

Death Stranding isn’t really a Sony property but I love it

You like spiderman 2?

Spider-Man 2 was really fucking good and I don’t remember any copaganda in it, especially compared to the first game. Great combat, movement, story. Mostly fun side content. Bigger than it needed to be but whatever, I enjoyed it start to finish.

If you think Spiderman 2 was that good, you need to play better games (meant with as little offense as possible) the combat was ass and a watered down version of Arkham. (How does spiderman with superhuman strength and could probably cave a normal man’s skull take 10 hits to beat up a simple street thug?).

The side content was terrible lol, what game were you playing bro? Filler crap.

The web swinging was cool but that’s it. The rest of the movement felt stiff, like a typical Sony movie game.

I mean that with as little offense as possible. I’m attacking the game, not you pal

You’re free to enjoy it. I’m just bewildered as to why some people like these slop games that feel more like movies.

Shadow of the Colossus will have to be in your top 3 when you play it. You can feel the weight of the game when you play it, from the vibe of the story to how they pulled off something like that on the ps2. Even if you play the bluepoint remake

Housemarque is owned by Sony now, so Returnal is #1

Crazy that Sony and FromSoft just lost the bloodborne code because that’s the only valid reason for not having ported it already

Bloodborne is not an active IP, so even though it would be an easy port, would easily make its money back and would earn them a ton of goodwill, it would not further engagement with the playstation™ brand and as such they don’t actually want people to play it.
