For those who don’t care for major tentpole blockbuster releases like Spider-Man and FF7… PS5 has also had you covered and taken care of well these last few months.

Helldivers for the new age shooter fans. Granblue and Ronin for hardcore action rpg fans. Niche tastes have been catered to with moderate success.

So with that said, it’s quite disappointing to see Granblue and Ronin fall under the radar by the so call PlayStation loyalists. Especially those who whine and cry about non existent doom. So you don’t support PlayStation exclusives anyway… ha. Those players deserve remakes.



For those who finished the first run thru the campaign… this seems like a smaller game, right? The map is getting cleared fast. Is this something like 30 hours for completing it like close to 100% for trophies?

With the frame limit setting for the graphics and ray tracing modes… game is sorta future proof for PS5pro.

Love the combat. Just grows on me. You can remap all buttons on controller so next thing may be to soulsify controls to have R1 be attack. Not crazy about holding R1 and pressing up or down on d-pad to swap during combos or change stances.

Noticed some minor environmental damage. You can roll placed logs down hills and utilize sfuff like it in public order missions.

You can also summon your horse while using the glider, dropping from the glider directly onto the galloping horse. Neat.

Definitely prefer the rifle over the bow. They did a pretty crappy job with bows and its cursor. They should have draw time with a shrinking cursor the way Destiny does because it feels like shit here.

Yeah. Maybe world is kinda ubisofty, but whole set up is so satisfying. Probably the first game where i wasn't offended, bored and highly enjoyed it.

Also, hidden enemies are challenging.

Oxtail blade might be my new fav TN weapon. The kicks are too satisfying. I’ve done every side quest and enemy camp so far… idk what it is about this game, but it’s super chill and does a great job of making me interested in this point of history. bc quite frankly it’s fascinating people really lived through this shit. I like the grounded lore more than nioh.

A bunch of divergent path options huh? It’s throwing me for a loop a bit. Didn’t expect that. Both with choices, like letting an enemy live, or which quests you choose to move the main quest forward… or at least I think that’s what I’m seeing.

On the 3rd map. About 50 hours into the game. Clearing out the checklist for each region before I get back to the story. Should have Ronin wrapped up by Monday. Then next Friday is Stellar Blade!!! Woohoo!!!
