Super Mario Galaxy is complete. I love this game so, so much. I remember, back in 2007, scouring flea markets the week before release in hopes that someone was able to get an early copy of this game. I was not that lucky, but was still in heaven when I finally got ahold of the game on release day.

SMG perfected the 3D Mario platforming style. The camera was fixed, tricky jumping fixed, just perfection. Then they threw us a curveball by changing how we platform by making Mario run upside down and sideways, jumping with little gravity and flying through space. So good.

I finished Astros playground the same day I brought it home. Aside from the segments that required you to use the six-axis tilt controls, it was absolutely wonderful. Those six-axis sections however can absolutely suck a dick. I was impressed enough with this. That astrobot is now bumped up very high on my games to get list.

I feel like those games are now my only reason for wanting a PS5.

I'll say this as another Plus for the PS5. The dual sense controller is maybe the best game controller I've ever used. It's stupidly comfortable.

Astro Bot is a fantastic game. If you enjoyed Astro’s Playroom then you’ll definitely love it. The DualSense is easily my favourite Sony controller.

That and the Ratchet game for me. And Gran Turismo, but seriously where I am at in terms of available gaming time GT would be wasted on me Hrm

Dualsense controller is one of the most comfortable controllers I've ever held. It's even become popular enough that Steam supports it in a lot of games now too.

GT7 is a large game but it's mostly broken down into 5-10 minute races and licenses. Even the longer multi-track race events can be paused after each race; resume whenever you want.

I finished Ghostwire Tokyo earlier this afternoon. It's a beautiful and bizarre game. Kind of a cyberpunk look at Japanese folklore and the afterlife. Good game, but I think the battle system keeps it from being great. Fighting requires you use a charging mechanic for virtually anything if you want it to be effective. Once you level up the right skills, it's not so bad, but until then you're just holding on a button and dodging until you can attack. Kind of gets old. But good looking open world game, and quite happy to have played it.
