Not great, but not bad either tbh.

First of all… Roblox only coming to PS4 is super weird, but on the other hand, I really don’t care.

I don’t want to see any more Spider-Man 2 stuff at all - I’d rather play it already.

My fear is that Avatar is just a Far Cry in disguise - I hope not.

For the rest, nothing for me really. Ghostrunner 2 looks nice if you enjoyed the first one.

I will definitely check out the Foamstars Open Beta, looks like a silly game to play with some friend and have some fun.

The Spider-Man video's theme was so uninteresting to me. It's been five years since the first game, whose open world was already derivative of tired tropes (towers, collectibles, repeat activities, etc.), and the video was advertising how they've just...combined their existing ideas to slightly refine the original formula.

Don't get me wrong, I'm going to play the hell out of the game. I loved the first game enough that they could have changed nothing to the core gameplay and just made a new story and I'd play it through 4-5 times again like the original. But the activities within the open world was one of its weakest components, and it doesn't sound like they've done anything interesting with it.

I had the same thoughts about Avatar and Far Cry. Especially with the campaign coop. Hopefully it'll be more like FC 3 and 5, and less of 6. There are things about the FC formula I like, but others I don't.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind and quite enjoy the occasional Far Cry, but like with Assassin’s Creed, we have been a bit oversaturated tbh.

The same is kinda true for the Ubisoft Star Wars game. I really hope this one turns out fine.
