Sony has been on a winning streak with its first-party exclusives, knocking it out of the park with great games like Horizon: Zero Dawn, God of War, and Marvel’s Spider-Man.

The whole system seems to have been built using the sort of progression you’d find in free-to-play mobile games, and it’s irksome.
