Space Adventure Cobra - The Awakening (PS5)

The Psychogun's charge shot feels incredibly satisfying to land, and the platforming sections have a nice old-school challenge to them. I’ve been playing through the mystery with Lady Armaroid by my side, and the whole vibe just clicks.

The controls are tight and responsive, especially when using Lady Armaroid's abilities to solve puzzles. I've been playing for hours and the platforming keeps getting more challenging in a fun way.

I was worried this would be just another retro rehash, but the platforming levels are surprisingly tight and the story keeps you hooked. Lady Armaroid actually helps in combat, which makes the exploration feel more dynamic than I expected.
