Not exactly a PS5 game, but I'm playing XDEFIANT a lot!

@BlAcK_SwOrDsMaN hah yeah I think it may be your Geralt build doing that The game has some clear influences: Ghost of Tsushima, Dark Souls and obviously the Nioh games. I haven't played Sekiro but some people have compared it to that too. I don't know yet how drastically the story will be altered by the dialogue choices but it seems like it would change it quite a bit. There's some real tough fights in this game, liking it a lot after 10 hours

@Th3solution There are missions you play to recap and then I was put into Lightfall. Dunno if that was where I stopped playing last time as it has been so long, I do not recall.

Picked up rise of the ronin in the new sale. I'm not good at it lol. It took me 20 times to best the first boss mathew perry, prompting the game to ask if I want to lower the difficulty. My pride held on and I finally won. Need to get better at my timing on parrying.

XDefiant is XDecent. Slightly wonky hit detection and floaty physics doesn’t stop it giving me quite warm flashbacks to PS3 CoD. Did get killed by someone with a proper Xx_PU55Y5LAY3R_xX ass name too, brought a tear to my eye. Still a rubbish name though.

@Elodin Congratulations for making it through, proves that listening to one's pride can sometimes be a good thing to do. What difficulty are you playing on? I am playing mostly for the story, my character seems to be op on the easiest difficulty setting, haven't died once so far, I've almost reached the third boss, loving the combat/combat animations etc.

5 hrs into Stellar Blade and it looks promising with a few small issues but so far so good.

@BlAcK_SwOrDsMaN I'm playing on normal (middle choice). I like some challenge, as the elation of winning a tough fight is great. I didnt expect it to be the first boss though. Need to get used to controls better. Lots of hold r1, push directional and such.

@Elodin I remapped the controls to a Dark Souls style
