You are right. Even though I’ve had an absolute blast using the PS Portal daily ever since i got it I have made the difficult decision to return it because the internet told me that it’s actually not good.

Most of my games are on PlayStation. The Steam Deck is clearly the more powerful and capable device, but it is also more expensive and I have no need for any of the extra features. I love the ergonomics of the PS Portal (even though it looks silly), the haptics, the huge screen, and it all comes with a seamless integration into the PlayStation ecosystem. Plus there is no need to take the case off of my phone every time I want to play it unlike the Backbone.
It’s definitely not for everyone but they call it a DadStation for a reason ☺️.
These are some heavy accusations for Gabe
The buttocks cloth/wind physics don’t add up on this one but I was able to suspend my disbelief
This story has essentially caused a 20% off coupon for Assassin’s Creed Mirage to circulate my lemmy feed for the past 2 days. I am a chubby man with a weak heart that hungers for these types of comfort food games and this subliminal advertising is hard for me to resist.
Looks awesome, I just wonder how good it will be playing solo ☺️
Isn’t it funny how much of an impact film and video games can have on us?
I now reside in the US, but I also have tons of nostalgia from the early 90s American movies even though I wasn’t here at the time.
Home Alone 2 for me! There is something super cozy about the snowy New York City setting. Especially when I was younger I really appreciated those vibes.
I’m liking it way more than I expected too! Our baby sleeps much better when I’m in the room with him. Last night he woke up early right as I started gaming on my PS5 in our living room. I grabbed my new Portal and got a few more hours of playtime in while the babe snoozed away next to me. It was nice!
This game rocks! The first game holds such a special place in my heart so understandably I was both excited and a little nervous to get my hands on the second. Thankfully we have a Portal 2 situation happening here. They took all of the best parts of the first game (mind-bending puzzles, thought provoking philosophical ideas, beautiful music) and expanded on it all without losing any of the core identity.
I rarely buy games upon release but gladly purchased this one to support these guys.
I don't have an iPad 😆
And the experience of using a dedicated device for the task seems more pleasant to me anyway. I did try the Backbone but it annoyingly required me to take the case off my phone every time I wanted to play.
