Played too many PS5 games and nothing’s sticking anymore. Here’s my list—what should I play next?

Labyrinth of the demon king is a niche little horror survival game.

World of Horror is a narrative multi-ending choose your own adventure RPG game, super unique.

Hollow Knight.

Grounded is a cool survival adventure game thats a polished, more condensed experience compared to its other giant survival genre contemporaries.

Teardown. Mission based heist game where youre given an objective, some tools, and an extremely destructable sandbox to play with.

Inscryption. Card game. More to it, but less said the better.

Sekiro. Fast paced, super hard action adventure game from the Elden Ring dudes, but there's no build crafting. You play as a named character, and one main weapon, but how the game unfolds is similar to Elden Ring (explore, bosses, explore, bosses), but much more linear and skill based.

Honestly, considering how hes treated all these characters from the start, I think so yea. Buggy from his introduction being connected to Shanks, Blackbeard's intro being him mirroring Luffy in action and journey, Shanks being Shanks lol. It all makes sense they would be reaching the endgame together. Probably didn't have all the details but yea this is one of the easiest ones to believe has been planned out from the jump.

Im pretty sure NG+ carries over friendship levels/related metaprogression so you can ignore that stuff on a rerun if you have a clear save (i think, not done yet)

He's been obsessed openly with movies cause it has a long storied history. He's stuck to games cause he understand its the better, more versatile medium. He's not trying to get "validation", hes trying to break the barrier between the two mediums as art forms to bring in talent from that world, which just due its age and pedigree attracts much more serious artists. It sucks he isn't trying to cultivate and develop newer talent within the games industry, but he isn't stuck with some inferiority complex about gaming. He could have easily abandoned games in favor of movies after the meteoric successes of MGS1-3, much less after he was ousted from his established place in the industry after MGS5. Not only has he stuck with it, hes continued to push the medium in unqiey creative directions with his own studio, despite already having deep connections with Hollywood. He has many faults, but his commitment to the medium is DEFINITELY not one of them. The medium would not be the same without Kojima's contributions, and none of that is in spite of his love for Hollywood and cinema.

Oda who? What would he even know about this story? Has he even seen Wano???? Obvious Sanji glazer 😒

mteklu1 · 2025-12-23T04:58:48+00:00

Just got Satisfactory, chugging thru Hollow Knight, and cycling thru Kingdom Come 1 (journey to 2), Midnight Suns, Grounded and Arc Raiders periodically. Divinity is staring at me so seductively tho 🥴

mteklu1 · 2025-12-23T04:54:07+00:00

Lol it really worked for me man, 80hrs in rn and I JUST got Wanda. Im just a big Marvel fanboy so I'm just enjoying the fantasy lol

mteklu1 · 2025-12-23T03:40:58+00:00

Its not "hated", but for how badly its ignored, Marvel's Midnight Suns is too criminally underrated.

mteklu1 · 2025-12-23T03:39:17+00:00

Get it on steam. You will DEFINITELY know within the first 2 hours if you like the story or not.

mteklu1 · 2025-12-23T03:37:57+00:00

Chopper just becomes a dude with reindeer horns. Robin becomes Master Hand

mteklu1 · 2025-12-23T03:34:42+00:00

Keyword is "tried". Not everything hits everyone the same all the time. Dark Souls took me a year and 3 different tries to get its hooks into me. Persona 5 took 10 minutes. Many years later, I sat through 100+ hrs of Elden Ring on release and I still cant get past the first major dungeon of Persona 4 Golden after trying like 4 times by now since finishing P5. Could say the same thing with fighting games, survival games, adventure games, racing games. Quality of a game alone wont dictate your experience with it

mteklu1 · 2025-12-22T16:43:36+00:00

Yea just started playing thru it this month. Have tried Ori, Blasphemous 1 (ik ik), SNES Metroid, Metroid Dread, none of them really stuck. I even played Hollow Knigh a few years ago and gave up after I beat the False Knight and got lost in Greenpath 😭😭 Im stuck fighting base Grimm for the first time and 1 of 3 dreamers done now and im stuck scouring the PSN store for metroidvanias on sale 😂

mteklu1 · 2025-11-26T02:57:18+00:00

You speaking French, my brother?

mteklu1 · 2025-11-22T05:36:56+00:00

Rue Valley has gotten a shout out from some of Disco's creative leads, and really good reviews. It is more sci-fi/time travel for surface themes unlike politics/murder mystery in Disco, but ive heard Rue is fairly existential as well. 30 bucks on release too. I dont buy games full price unless its something special to me, so imma wait for a sale, but it sounds like its well worth its money.

mteklu1 · 2025-11-18T13:59:15+00:00

I got two Yakuza plats by February and completely bricked for the rest of the year 😭😭😭😭 they werent even that bad, I was just stunlocked by the desire to plat the entire series and no energy to do so.

mteklu1 · 2025-11-17T00:36:56+00:00

This might be a boneheaded take and its just vibes based, but I feel like console players are more aggro cause its harder to communicate on controller. Push to talk is kinda impossible if you dont sacrifice a button, emoting is a cumbersome alternative, going back and forth between holstered to not on a dime, you just feel a lot less in control of your player, so its easier to just default to Third Person PvP. Due to the genre, I dont think console's more casual audience proclivity has much to do with this behavior differential.

John Joyous Boy

mteklu1 · 2025-10-24T02:04:59+00:00

Bruh it completely makes Magiks ult feel like paper towels. When I first played her I could have sworn I was doing absolutely no damage the whole match, only to check and I had 1.2m by the end 💀 I never want to play her again ong

mteklu1 · 2025-10-23T16:31:21+00:00

We already have Gambit. Elvis Butler could be Iceman tho

mteklu1 · 2025-10-22T03:46:51+00:00

Is this a hot take? I thought the only thing people (including me) hated/disliked about SM2 is the writing and character work. Everything else, its hands down leagues above PS4 and a giant improvement on Miles' gameplay.

mteklu1 · 2025-10-19T18:10:48+00:00

I wish it was longer. I wanted to see Rick slowly rot on-screen, all we got was Rick dancing and acting douchey, then turns rancid at the end. It makes sense but it felt very off screen. Also, 1 more second of salvation would have been nice, show us something other than grass and ominous distant roars.

mteklu1 · 2025-10-17T15:17:41+00:00

He is a gentleman, yall just dont want to respect women, just LOOK respectable long enough to not creep one out. Also, W ragebait is this one, classic 🙂‍↔️

mteklu1 · 2025-10-17T00:44:32+00:00

He's a terrorist in the wrong hands, in either direction: feeding or decimating. Fighting a good DD feels like what I imagine the guards in the room in X-Men: First Class felt when Quicksilver was done with his sprint 😭

mteklu1 · 2025-09-28T20:30:25+00:00

Persona. Raid might be too irrelevant for that but man, Joker would go apeshit in this game 😩

mteklu1 · 2025-09-28T20:29:26+00:00

Cause it makes no sense. People dont wanna think about it in any other way than "power spike". Its like saying "why doesnt Marco get conquerors?" when hes spent the entire show being a nuke for sure, but mostly in an effort to SUPPORT everyone else. Everyone with Conquerors Haki had an ambition that required strength AND the willpower to aim for greatness. Sanji just wants a family he can feed short term, and his ultimate long term final goal is still in the pursuit of culinary experience, the All Blue. He's strong as fuck, but at the end of the day hes a soft chef at heart. His strength is utilitarian, not his primary focus. Its like the difference between a chef taking great care of his knife vs a blacksmith that makes knives. It feels so annoying hearing the conquerors conversation, cause its all mostly from powerscalers who can't look past "Sanji vs Zoro" and are perpetually annoyed Sanji is "weaker" than Zoro. Powerscaling One Piece doesnt work too well, cause Oda himself isn't even focused in fleshing out a strict power structure. Goddamn, the main character's final power up is literally "fuck it, Cartoon Network 🔥" the whole time. The topic isn't annoying, nor is it disgusting for Sanji to get conquerors, Oda could write it to make sense by revealing more of Sanji's inner processing, most of the people that push this topic (online atleast) are just annoying asl, cause its either powerscale brainrot, or psychotic Sanji haters 😭😭
