Sony caused some trouble with the PlayStation 5 price increase. The price recommendation is increasing in Europe around 50 euros. In the US, the price will not change for the time being. That’s obviously an advantage for Xbox, but it shouldn’t impact sales, such a first analysis.
Also worth mentioning is an upcoming Kickstarter campaign from Japan. With Penny Blood and Armed Fantasia: To the End of the Wilderness If the financing is successful, two spiritual successors are on the way. These lean on Shadow Hearts and Wild Arms an.
This brings us to the two new reviews of JPGAMES. At no extra cost comes the gacha game Super Bullet Break (PS4, Switch, PC) (to the test report) out. The collecting, tactical combat, roguelike gameplay, and sympathetic conversations create an addictive mix. Only recommended for die-hard fans Mega Man Battle & Fighters (Switch) (to the test report). The thick retro glasses are necessary here.
