Meanwhile, on the PS Store, the Shift Up outing has attracted over 20,000 ratings, pegging it at an impressive 4.79/5 overall. It’ll be interesting to see where it ranks on our Best PS5 Games list once we’ve accumulated all the data – judging by early ratings on our site, it looks like it’s going to place extremely high there as well.

Well deserved too. The game is awesome. Graphics, combat, music, level design is so good. I'm almost done with my first playthrough and I haven't encountered any bugs either. Even my gf loves watching me play it (this rarely happens).
It's a really good game but not that good.
I'm absolutely loving it, like a dream game for me. Infact I carved out a bit of time tonight to play it, I'm going in..
Congratulations to Shift Up for taking a big swing and having it pay off. Hopefully this leads to more amazing work from them, and gives Korean developers the confidence to do the same.
It's a fun
