What a pleasant surprise. A love-letter to the history of PlayStation, a tech demo for the Dualsense and essentially a giant advertisement but surprisingly really charming and fun to play. Really enjoying the references to other once and former PS exclusives like God of War and Crash Bandicoot as well as the homage to platformers like Mario which it very openly draws inspiration from. Some of the controls aren't the easiest to manage, giving you a preview of which Dualsense features are likely to be utilised by third-party developers in the future. It's no Wii Sports, but I can't ask for much more from a free game bundled with my console purchase.
