The Smurfs - Dreams - Demo Trailer | PS5 & PS4 Games - YouTube

Here you go for those looking for a new free demo.
Smurfs Dreams, which plays a lot like Astro Bot but with an isometric view point rather than closer like in the great Astrobot games. This is fun though and an extensive/long demo.

I'm relieved to hear you enjoyed the demo! I've had Dreams on my wishlist for awhile, but was uncertain about the quality.

Blades of Fire free PS store demo above?

Probably some of the best graphics I've seen in awhile on PS5 and looks impressive IMO for the art style, graphics, and runs at 60 fps. Fun sword game and merciful game difficulty mode just to test it out. I wasn't expecting that.

This is what is great about game development in 2025. Indie and smaller studios can create games that are just as fun to play with impressive graphics as oversized AAA developers.

A really good game, Smurfs Dreams is. If you've played Astrobot, it has some similar game play mechanics. Fun game demo. I'm waiting for the full game to go on a nice sale and I'll buy it.

I've only played the free Astro's Playroom game, waiting for Astro Bot to go on sale for $20 New before I buy it.

I still have not found a new job yet, and I'm also trying to focus on the hundreds of unplayed games in my massive backlog.

Fans of Stray, here's something interesting with a cat exploring.

Copycat - Release Date Trailer | PS5 Games - YouTube

It has potential, but I hope the cat can go in different directions as it seems to only go directly forward. Cats tend to wander often, not stay in a straight path.

$19.99 is a nice price for disc games that aren't must-play right away games.

For Robocop Rogue City, digitally, that went on sale for 8.99 on PS store this past week. Even cheaper than a disc would ever be brand new. It's like they're rewarding patience. Now if everyone followed that pattern, the industry would shift to lower pricing or go out of business. I think the industry is safe as there are a lot of gamers who will buy most new games right away. I usually wait unless it's a must-play now game, which is more rare these days.

Indie developers I tend to support full price on release day more than AAA.

Copycat is on my wishlist, loved Stray. I'd have the platinum, if it weren't for two annoying trophies.

As for Robocop: Rogue City, I added it to my PSN library when it was a PS+ Essential title.

I'll play it eventually, wanna rewatch the original films first.

I'd love for them to be working on The Last of Us: Part III or an Uncharted spinoff, but we'll just have to wait and see if that's true.

Have you tried the other cat game called, 'Gori: Cuddly Carnage' ?
