If you don’t play your PS5, maybe you could sell it. Maybe to, I dunno, a Badger looking for one?!

It varies. Some areas are more dense and it helps to use the mini map to find everything. Some are more open. It's not all dark, either. And anything you can interact with really stands out.afgavinstan wrote:Jon, did you find the colour palette/architecture of the game make it troublesome to keep your bearings and know where you are? Watching a let's play, I found it hard to keep up. I know there's that mini map but I'd find constantly having to check might ruin immersion? I'm probably explaining this very badly.

Yup, it just seems unfair to dismiss it as a tech demo. Even if you remove the stuff ‘just’ showing off the DualSense features, it’s a great, inventive platformer. I don’t believe that a game must be bought separately from the console for it to be one of the experiences worth buying the console for.
To be honest, I’m also not sure what it is that you’re looking for. This isn’t the first generation where we’ve seen lots of titles available on both the incoming and departing platforms. I suspect, though, that we’ve been spoiled by growing up through a period when technological advances were rising sharply enough that there were more obvious differences between generations of consoles. That line graph had to start levelling out at some point.
As it is, though, I think there are still some significant steps. We’re now six days away from Returnal and seven weeks away from Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, both of which look like they are delivering experiences which would be more than just graphically impaired on PS4. Yes, it’s been almost six months but, as Yoss pointed out, there’s been a pandemic. Look at what’s going on with cinema, where new releases have massively thinned out and what has been released has been spread across a bewildering array of streaming services. Once things start to adjust and we return to something more recognisable as ‘normality’, I think there are going to be yet more exciting things coming our way.
Be positive.
