    The gameplay is unique, challenging, and ever changing. The most entertained I have been with a single player game since skyrim.

    What can I say that hasn't been said, absolute Masterpiece. The developers while working on this game nearly stopped production because they said to themselves "How can we deliver a quality experience like Knack?" and that's when they got in touch with none other than Mark Cerny and he said to them "We are making Knack 2 but we need something in between" and that's when they knew they hadWhat can I say that hasn't been said, absolute Masterpiece. The developers while working on this game nearly stopped production because they said to themselves "How can we deliver a quality experience like Knack?" and that's when they got in touch with none other than Mark Cerny and he said to them "We are making Knack 2 but we need something in between" and that's when they knew they had to make the greatest game possible and so they did. Joe's diner takes all the core ideals of Knack but transforms them into a thrill ride of horror and intense moments unseen in video games since, the only game to reach it's quality was none other than Knack 2 however Mark knew he couldn't beat Joes Diner 2 so he settled with making the PS5 instead so that he could hopefully one day implement the features required for Joe's Diner 2.

    Hideo Kojima is quoted to saying "When I was working on P.T my main inspiration was Joe's Diner, I knew I couldn't make a game of that quality even though it was so early in production however I tried my best, this is why I never finished Silent Hills because Konami was ashamed of my work after seeing a prototype of Joe's Diner and they immediatley cancelled my game and fired me, I have to say it was deserved, they are genius's."

    Phil Spencer also said in an interview with IGN "When creating the Series X we wanted to have Joes Diner remastered as a launch title however we just couldn't afford the trillions of dollars the company is worth and so we settled with buying Bethesda instead, a large downgrade but we have to make do, I wish them the best.".

    Geoff Keighly also wanted to have Joe's Diner on a new award called "Greatest Game of All Time" however the Joe's Diner developers declined stating "We think all games deserve an equal chance but are humbled by your offer, perhaps you can be a side character in Joe's Diner 2 one day."

    There is nothing else to state, this game is a masterpiece and if you haven't played it yet you have wasted your entire existance up until this very moment, so here's your chance to redeem yourself and buy this legendary game.

    People debate if videogames are art. I think... No, I know and believe that this is the best artwork of all time. Better than anything else. A masterpiece if you will. It represents a lot of things. This means a lot and everyone relates to it. It is perfect. The duality of life, fear, and death. No game, movie, book, picture, painting, joke, anime, cartoon, or show will ever top thisPeople debate if videogames are art. I think... No, I know and believe that this is the best artwork of all time. Better than anything else. A masterpiece if you will. It represents a lot of things. This means a lot and everyone relates to it. It is perfect. The duality of life, fear, and death. No game, movie, book, picture, painting, joke, anime, cartoon, or show will ever top this creation. Graphics are the best thing I have ever witnessed. I sometimes confuse pictures of real life, for the game. I even believe that the game is, ore realistic than real life. A gift from the gods. It moved everyone, changed everyone, and made everyone perfect. The controls feel so good. I am going to play it right now. And I cannot wait for the remake and sequel on the PS5. Praise the game.… Expand

    Joe's Diner has been a life changing game, When i heard it was coming to the PS4, i was ecstatic that this Game of the Eon. A game my Grandfather has enjoyed would be on PS4. Now its 2020 and Sony has announced, it wont be compatible with the PS5, my heart stopped and now i'm longing for the day of my death and Joe's Diner coming out to the PS5 as a Joe's Diner HD Remaster 1.5 368/2 Remake.

    WOW, What can you say about the worse game in history of "oh wait"( that was ET the one they buried in Mexico in a garbage dump there), and that is where Joe's Diner should find itself.. ET we apologize to you, you are not the worse game in history, Joe's Diner kicked you off that pedestal . Joe's Diner game is the worse game EVERY! Whoever made it, needs to apologize for its creation..

    It's a really bad game, there is nothing more. Go away and do something better with your time! Just play anything else. (like Life of black Tiger...)

    this is possibly the worst game i have ever played. i only gave it a 1 because the intro was cool. pick up garbage, throw away garbage, identify sound, eliminate sound. repeat. i was trying to give it a chance and at least get to the day 5 trophy. NOPE. couldn't stomach the repetition. a waste of 2 hours of my time and 5$ of my money. after slogging through this off and on for a week,this is possibly the worst game i have ever played. i only gave it a 1 because the intro was cool. pick up garbage, throw away garbage, identify sound, eliminate sound. repeat. i was trying to give it a chance and at least get to the day 5 trophy.

Seems now I'm at the mercy of getting a good load out in order to advance. anybody else find it HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS that the all three of the 10 user reviews were on the same day and all by accounts that have 1 review in their history ?… Expand

    Nothing is redeeming about Joe’s Diner, though, as it’s a poor execution of a dull idea. It’s one of the worst games released on PlayStation 4, but even then it’s not an interesting enough of a disaster to check out.

    Joe’s Diner could have been a good game. It has a lot of the pieces for a heart-attack inducing horror game, with its eerie setting and mechanics that force you to make your sense vulnerable. If it did something – anything – with its burial ground plot, it could have told a noteworthy story, or at least an interesting one. Instead, all it does is exploit stereotypes to deliver the weakest Twitch scares I’ve ever seen.

    Joe’s Diner is about as dull in gameplay as its dimly lit environment. It’s about as by the numbers as a game about a haunted eatery can get. There are no thrills here, no scares and no reason to spend money on this game, let alone for the insulting price tag it currently has. Avoid or the grumpy spirit of native American Chieftain will get you.
