The game (unlike Outright’s Ice Age game) doesn’t scale towards older players through extra collectibles or anything like that either, so when your young one is done with it, they’re really done. Older gamers, and gamer parents in particular, will notice the lack of diversity in gameplay and locations, especially when you consider the price tag for the game. It’s perfectly suited to the youngest of gamers, who can stay engaged with these familiar characters without running into any kind of serious challenge.
GROWING UP GAME PS4 LICENSE
Granted, young kids might take a bit longer, but the average eight year old gamer isn’t going to get stuck on this one for long either.Īdd the My Little Pony license into the mix, however, and you’ve got a story adventure that sees you helping out familiar faces like Hitch and Pipp through simple grab quests that are connected to straightforward platforming when even the jumps are near-automated by being reduced to pressing a button when near a jump pad in order to jump up. Here, those are “magic bits”, but getting through the entire campaign only took us about an hour and fifteen minutes. These kid-centered titles are rarely (if ever) 10+ hour adventures, and often they’re structured like loosely connected single missions with some replay value for grabbing all of the collectibles in the game. Enthusiastic fans likely won’t mind, but strip away the license and this isn’t the best game Outright has put out. My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure is a lot safer and more generic though, with rather simple and repetitive gameplay and a very short campaign mode. Although we’re not intimately familiar with present-day My Little Pony content, it was a massive franchise when we were growing up so we were curious to see how the game would turn out.įurther fueling our curiosity was the fact that Melbot Studios was on development duty for this one – the studio that created the Melbits Pod that won the inaugural 2020 edition of EuroPlay during Gamescom, a creative blend of videogames and toys. For example, 2015's Call of Duty: Black Ops III was the last Call of Duty title released for the system, though it was a watered-down version with no campaign mode.My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure kicks off a season where publisher Outright Games has a ton of kid-friendly titles lined up for all major systems. It received cross-generation titles until the end of its life. The PlayStation 3 was released in 2006 and discontinued in 2016 in North America.
GROWING UP GAME PS4 PS4
A discontinued console will soon stop receiving games, and Sony likely won't offer hardware support for it much longer either.īut if you do get a PS4 in 2023, how long should you expect game support to last? To estimate, we can look back at the last console generation. Sony dropping support for the console is a sign that you shouldn't buy it. Your options for buying a PS4 are limited to pre-owned models at these stores, on local marketplace websites, and similar. You won't find new PS4s available for sale at Best Buy, Amazon, or GameStop today. This was unexpected, since the company had earlier claimed it would support the PS4 for several more years.īy now, the existing supply of PS4s has largely dried up. In January 2021, Sony Japan confirmed that it had ceased production of almost all PS4 models. And if you're mostly interested in multi-platform games, a PS4 doesn't offer the best value-more on this below.
GROWING UP GAME PS4 PC
So if you already have a PC and just want to try a few exclusive games, a PS4 isn't worth it for you.

GROWING UP GAME PS4 PLUS
See Sony's PlayStation Plus on PC page for info. The service, formerly known as PlayStation Now, allows you to stream many top PS4 (and earlier) titles to your computer, as long as you have a decent PC and internet connection. Additionally, PlayStation Plus is available on PC. A few games that were once exclusive to the PS4, such as Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War, are now available on PC via Steam.

If you need more space on your PS5, you can run PS4 games via an external USB drive or an M.2 SSD, but both of these incur an additional cost.Īs it turns out, PlayStation consoles aren't the only place to play PlayStation titles.

Just keep in mind that the PS5 comes with a limited 825GB of storage, so those PS4 games will add up quickly. PS4 games run faster on PS5, thanks to its built-in SSD.
