Horizon Forbidden West is much-needed win for Sony
1,314Horizon Forbidden West is Sony’s first major game release of the year and things are off to a pretty great start. Reviewers for the most part seem pleased and market analysts are now even saying PlayStation’s prospects for the rest of the year are looking really good.
In other news Platinum games wants to get bought by somebody, Lost Ark has gotten wildly popular after its wider release, Nintendo is shutting down the WiiU and 3DS eshops, and a trove of retro games was found in Nebraska.
In this week’s 5-Second Review Brian’s got a good dad joke and the Coming Soon section only needs one game. ELDEN RING.
Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend.
