I am more excited about the haptics and integration of dual sense controller for this game. For me the Ps5 demo game is the only which successfully showcased full use of controller ❤
This game is such a smart move from PlayStation. Sure, they won’t outcompete Nintendo’s Mario any time soon, but this might win over some platformer fans in the future
