Pavlov is mp styled after counterstrike. If that is what you're looking for, it's totally worth full price.

PlayStation VR2 |OT| I heard it has a single cable. Is this true?

I finsished Sushi Ben yesterday, and it was pretty cool. I was expecting a bit more tbh, but I enjoyed my the experience overall: its pretty basic in terms of gameplay but the characters are fun, the story os simple but engaging and it was cool to feel like living in this colorful cell shaded world.
I would rate it 7-
Now I am going to try to finish Mixture, I think I am like 75% into the campaign. The game is decent and has some cool moments if you enjoy games like Moss or Astrobot, but it feels pretty low budget and the port is very lazy.

I am really digging Arashi: Castles of Sin 'Final Cut'.
Game isn't perfect by any means, lots of clipping and weightless combat, but everything works and is fun, at least to me it is. AI is smart enough, you're forced to think about your approach, and the combat is pretty basic but you have to engage with it.; enemies have a small window to take damage so it forces you to engage with the mechanics. They're also kind of stingy with health drops, but not too stingy. That in itself makes you play smart. It's a really good balance for a game where everything works but is also pretty basic.
It has a nice stamina system but is real generous. Right stick being pushed forward is your jump/dodge. It's just teleport but in this case it's an integral part of the game. Plenty of stealth options and back stabs are an insta-kill. Fighting multiple enemies can get a bit hectic but it's fun. It's all wait for attack to parry, then stick and move, teleport to dodge/create some distance. Lots of combat variety and the 2nd stage really deals out new sub-items; Poisoned food that you can leave on enemy paths, smoke bombs, blow gun, etc. You also have a hookshot and that's pretty cool.
Shurikens are incredibly accurate, bow and arrow is accurate too. You got your dog sidekick who is useful and goofy. You'll be sneaking around, scoping out the enemies to your right and you'll look left and the dogs face is right next to yours, all derpy and whatnot, lol. Reach over and give him a pet.
Music and vibe is good, story makes sense but isn't anything to celebrate. It's Japanese VO, that's a nice touch.
Game got roasted at launch but I could see alot of people enjoying this. It's $30 and I do think it's worth it based on what I've played, 2+ hours in and close to the 2nd boss. There's 5 or 6 levels/bosses. However, it's also worth waiting for a sale. I don't think I paid $30 when I bought it.
I also wouldn't be surprised if Skydance took some ideas from Arashi as they were developing Behemoth. Arashi was only ported by Skydance but there are small things you see Arashi doing that Behemoth would later expand upon and improve.

Yea, I'm on the fence with Mixture.
The biggest hang up I had are the throwing mechanics. It didn't seem accurate. Camera angles can be questionable as well. I'm pretty early though but I do want to get back to it at some point and see it through.

I did not have much trouble with the throwing to be honest: it was bad at launch but I have to say its all right now. (I use the auto aim option)

Nice, I hope you enjoy it.Just purchased it on your advice.
It's a pity that folks don't re-review games once they've been fully patched. It would give folks a much better view of the state of the game but I guess the name of the game is to get the review out as soon as possible and usually without even the first day patch. Got's to be first!!!
Crayon . 7th Guest is awesome. It's slow and dripping with atmosphere. A really good escape room game and a nice change of pace.
I actually streamed a run on friday, brand new save. I'm so used to having max stats that I forgot how difficult that game can be at base levels. In case you get your ass handed to you and are like, "How TF am I supposed to play this?", here's that stream. I actually got a full complete run and I didn't expect to.
My advice is to experiment with running and jumping, the platforming can be really exaggerated, like 90s shooters, and it helps when mobs are running at you. That type of mob gameplay is cued up below.

First of hearing Mixture and I see it's on sale for $12.
Would you both say it's worth getting at that price?

I'd say yea but go into it with the mindset that you might be frustrated at times. lol

As you just got the headset, I would say there are better games to buy first in this style of games. Keep the money for Moss 2 or Max Mustard, and only get it on sale when you want to scratch that topdown adventure platformer itch.

Yea, I second that too. I forget that you just got the headset. Get some other games first. Especially Moss 2 if you don't have it.

Well I may be the first then. I will give impressions if no one else has by then.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Do you guys feel like your arms are way too long in Saints and Sinners? I brought this up around its PSVR2 launch, and I convinced myself it was a bug or something. I can't really remember, but either way... this game feels broken to me. Aiming a one-handed gun, and trying to aim down the sight, it's almost comical how jank the arms and especially the wrists... the arms are so long that trying to hold it up and ADS, the wrist is awkwardly cranked to 90° it's kind of absurd. The game gets so much praise, but how....

I had no problems aiming in these games. It's not the best aiming I've ever experienced or anything, but in no way is it broken. Imo.

I hear you. I give alot of praise to S&S but I don't really enjoy playing it too much. It's too stressful but it's mostly the physics, I don't like how they feel.

Damn Waltz of the Wizard is actually GREAT! Beautiful in the headset, and extremely fun to play! It is so cool to do magic only using gestures or voice commands!
Only issue is that the voice recognition only works in english, so my french accent makes it sometimes hard to do what I want :d
But the worst is that it works better when I force a shitty accent. Bro, I have to speak like François Hollande this is hilarious hahaha

I think the only way is to pay for a subscription to the 'rad' video app and then sideload the video via USB.
That rad app was pretty useless. I signed up to see what was on there, a few low res 3D videos and a bunch of AI things. I never tried the side load option.

The headset has an internal mic that is utilized when you have an aux cord plugged in. Mic audio quality is much better than BT Pulse headphones. Just FYI.
