Show and tell So we all know Sony’s big (aka only) exclusive game this Christmas is God Of War Ragnarök but as someone that didn’t really like the last one that hasn’t got me that excited. As far as I can work out, they only have Spider-Man 2 confirmed for 2023, which is interesting as that’s about the only game that doesn’t appear on that leaked list of games.
That leak was pretty convincing, but also pretty boring if you ask me.
