Sure thing, here we go:

Check this out. Two Falls – Nishu Takuatshina from Affordance Studio and Unreliable Narrators. Ever heard of it? It’s like a first-person narrative trip that smashes French and Indigenous worlds together. Like, here’s the scoop: you’re diving into what it was like during those awkward first meet-ups in the 17th century Canadian wild. But what’s super neat — you’re not just one person. You’ll be Maikan, this young Innu hunter dude, and Jeanne, a “Daughter of the King.” Fun fact, the “Daughter of the King” thing? It’s about French gals sent to marry colonists to, well, make babies and boost the population. Beats Tinder, I guess.
Jeanne’s ride, the L’Intrépide, totally bites it (typical, right?). And she’s left with her trusty dog buddy Capitaine. Imagine trying to hoof it to Quebec with that on your plate. Meanwhile, Maikan’s got his own ancient woes — land decay, spirits, medicine man ancestry, yadda yadda — as he tries to fix things before life gets grim for his community. Their stories? So different, yet so intertwined, like socks you can never match.
Control-wise, it’s all about walking and gawking in first-person view. You use the sticks on your controller (psh, who said this was just for lazy Sundays?). And, yeah, hammer down those buttons to sprint or grab stuff. No one ever tells you how much you’ll appreciate sprinting ’til you’re in a jam. As you play, different choices pop up. Makes you wonder — are you in control, or are they steering the wheel?
Need to find what’s next? Press Triangle. Review your notes in the Codex by hitting the Touchpad. It’s like your story map filled with nuggets about the folks you’ve met, the wild you’re trekking, and all sorts of historical tidbits. Jeez, sometimes I think I need a Codex for my own life.
Oh, trophies! Listings full? Platinum, here we come! Got a Silver and 11 Golds up for grabs. And some of the challenges crack me up. Pet the dog, check. Listen to a bullfrog? Oddly specific, but okay. It’s those small quirky tasks, y’know? Way to make Platinum feel like a homey scavenger hunt.
Yet again, Two Falls is all about those layered stories. The team behind it even had some Canadian Native folks pitch in and a Council of Elders — legit storytelling circle. The whole vibe feels authentic. Perfectly imperfect for your PS5 lineup.
Just a heads-up, this chat about Two Falls comes courtesy of Affordance Studio for PS5. My rambling thoughts, though. No one’s making me say nice things, promise!
