I've done the first two levels at agel 20 now and am close to it on the third. Crazy how easy Sean is now, and those two just before him. Also reached level 5, but I aged too much against the level 4 boss. 

EG video review by Zoe, who seems to like this a lot more than the other reviewer.

Yeah, it's great. Horizon, Elden Ring and maybe Ghostwire Tokyo have to be very good to beat this as my current GotY though.

Level 3 boss seemed so daunting at first but now I can beat her relatively easily. It helps that her second phase is a breeze and 

Such a good game this. 

Some classic Raimi shots in there. I have a bit of Marvel fatigue, but his first two Spideys are still some of my favourite superhero movies, so I'll probably check this one out in the cinema.

Yeah if that screenshot is any indication it seems like the story goes even more sci-fi and it's whether you are willing to go along for that ride or if you think it stretches past the realms of credulity as to whether you'll enjoy it or not.

 

I do think that screenshot should be removed though as it's clearly a pretty big spoiler.

That shot was in one of their own trailers though.

From the eurogamer review:

There are other frustrations. While Forbidden West is not a difficult game to understand, it acts like it is. Aloy will narrate your every move, and I mean every move ("I should scan this." "I fell off and need to find my way back up"), robbing you of all agency 

I’m not sure why so many of Sonys first party games do this. It’s a common theme that absolutely ruins the players discovery. 

That is annoying yeah. Made Skyward Sword one of my least liked Zeldas.

Anyway, Easy Allies review. (9 out of 10)

Seems there is praise for the story as well so YMMV.

CGI trailer that basically confirms

Not sure where it will ultimately go and it'll mostly be hype... 

Nature has a cover article on it, so I'm thinking it must be something pretty special.

Some of the (video) previews are quite spoilery apparently, so beware. I'm not gonna watch or read any of those. Game is almost out anyway.

Who are Mundfish anyway? What games have they done in the past? They look pretty skilled going on that trailer.

I believe this is their first game.

Ooooo I've just noticed something cool, I think the weird regular enemy 'minibosses' you sometimes fight are only made 'super' if you try and finish them with Y+B!  You can see the smoke around them faintly, but if you just beat them to death then they don't power up!!

 

Yeah, I've actually memorized them as I sometimes didn't notice the smoke in the heat of a group battle and accidently used the finisher.

Here's the Russian version:

Level 3 looks so cool. Great art direction.

These guys know how to make a trailer.

Oh man, you can spare the bosses instead of killing them! Amazing scenes.

Really? That's cool. Gonna give that a try tonight. Never occured to me to not press the buttons for the finisher.

Cosmic horror would be nice.

Got the Kill Nill trophy for a no death run on the first level.

I can do most of the club without dying as well, but I'm having trouble with those two fuckers right before the boss. Need some practice against them. Also, unlock the final skill on the tree (Weapon Mastery)  It's very useful.

Watched a no damage run of the club earlier and was pretty impressed, but apparently someone has already done a no damage run of the entire game. 😅
