The Returnal review embargo ends on April 29 at 5 AM PT / 8 AM ET.
With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond
PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?
Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.
GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.
But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.
Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.
Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.
I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.
The games for Humble Choice Bundle for the month of April, 2024, have begun to be revealed, and they include Returnal.
Some solid choices but i feel they're late to the party. I'm subscriptioned out like most people.
This made me check out the current month and holy crap it's actually a great bundle. It's unfortunate that Saints Row is among them but the Nioh 2 and Afterimage make it worth it. I think I'll probably grab it and give away Saints Crap.

So the morning of launch day
Either way I'm not planning on canceling my preorder.
Its already preloaded
Lol
It doesn't surprise me that publishers like Sony release review embargoes closer and closer to release. Game journalist have a habit of virtue signalling and exacerbating extenuous issues in their game reviews. It's been going on for a long time, but I still remember the whole issue with Days Gone and just how many game jounalists took issue with the fact that the main protagonist was a white male - as if that had anything to do with the quality of the game; and completely ignoring to mention the same issues in all the other games that they subsequently reviewed that also featured a white male protagonist etc.
No doubt this time around there will be alot of reviewers who will weigh in on the price point of the game, as if it's the first game this gen to be £70 - never mind the fact that they get to play the game for free anyway. Objectivity used to be one of the core values of jounalism, but if Jason Schrier is to be believed, game journalists cannot be objective and it only gets in the way of good clickbait.
I'm eager to get this. I'm expecting 7-9's
6.5 out of 10 having a straight white middle aged female protagonist. /s
