I have not even got a PS5 yet (lol), so will see what the wider critical feedback is from those of us who have spent out our hard earned circa £70. Their issues with none of the different weapons really being essential other than to alleviate boredom, and an upgraded starter weapon being just as effective did ring true for my playthrough of the 2016 game.
That’s interesting because when Giant Bomb were talking about it yesterday they were saying literally the exact opposite (you can fully upgrade the early weapons pretty quickly but later on they’re just trash because they’re so ineffective against later enemies). They even called out the previous games in the series as having the problem you described, but now they’ve finally given you a reason to use the whole arsenal.
