Best RPG on PS5: Games Inbox

A New Perspective on Gaming Trends

The Thursday letters page has sparked a conversation about the future of gaming, with one reader expressing excitement for the last part of the Final Fantasy 7 remake. This discussion is part of the Games Inbox, a collection of readers’ letters, comments, and opinions. Readers are encouraged to participate by emailing gamecentral@today's news.co.uk.

The Search for a New RPG

One reader is currently browsing Black Friday deals but hasn't found anything that catches their attention. They're looking for a large, immersive role-playing game (RPG) for PlayStation 5, something akin to Skyrim or The Witcher 3. While it doesn’t have to be fantasy, they want a game with similar scale and depth.

However, such games are becoming rarer, and the reader notes that they take a long time to develop. They’ve considered Baldur’s Gate 3 but find it too complex. They've played Elden Ring and recently completed Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which they enjoyed. They’re considering Ghost Of Yōtei next, drawn by its impressive graphics and expansive open world.

Feedback on Ghost Of Yōtei

While Ghost Of Yōtei isn’t a traditional RPG, the reader feels it might satisfy their craving for a big, immersive game. Another reader shares their anticipation for the final part of the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy but questions whether this will be the last time we see the franchise. They note that while the remakes were better than expected, they haven’t been as successful as Square Enix hoped.

Destiny 3 and the Future of the Series

Another reader suggests that Destiny 3 could be a sensible direction for Bungie. They believe resetting the series might upset existing fans, but given the current low interest in Destiny 2, it’s necessary. The reader is unsure if Destiny 3 will go free-to-play from the start or if that was just a last-ditch effort to keep players engaged. They acknowledge the risks of microtransactions and cosmetics but feel it might be the only option for Bungie.

A Call for Positivity

A reader calls for more positivity in the gaming community, noting that discussions often focus on negatives like the "worst generation ever" or concerns about the industry's sustainability. They highlight their enjoyment of recent games like Sword Of The Sea, Dredge, and God Of War: Ragnarök, and express hope for more positive coverage.

Indie Games and Support

Another reader discusses an indie game with a unique premise and low-tech visuals. While they aren’t familiar with the developers' other work, they admire their boldness and are tempted to buy the game despite not having a gaming PC. They emphasize supporting independent creators who aim to make art rather than just commercial products.

Overcoming Game Challenges

Several readers share their experiences with challenging game bosses. One reader struggled with the Last Judge boss but found an alternate route to skip the fight. They eventually defeated the boss after gaining more power. Another reader is tackling the High Halls gauntlet and hopes for luck on their 50th attempt.

Tips for Players

For those stuck on the Last Judge, readers suggest exploring the game world for items and masks that can help. The Magna Bell item, in particular, reduces fire damage from the boss. Another reader shared their journey through Silksong, spending 100 hours on the game before finally completing it. They praised the game’s art and design but felt it was too long, suggesting that cutting some content would have improved the experience.
