@beemo@KratosMD I'd also like to hear your thoughts as I played the game earlier this year and don't know anyone else who has. I posted my summary on another forum but no-one had played it on there either.
Anyone here playing Star Wars Battlefront 2? I can get it for around 8 pounds plus postage but I'm not sure how popular it is, what's the current state of the game vs launch state, is the game even fun in multiplayer etc, so some responses would be welcome. I'm not a heavy multiplayer fan, but I like to play it from time to time.

For eight quid, Star Wars fans can't really go wrong. Five of those quid are worth it for the single player campaign alone; an average, yet mostly enjoyable, six or seven hours of your life can be spent there and with the Resurrection add-on giving three more chapters and a sense of resolution to the whole thing, it's definitely something I'd recommend for a fiver. Looks gorgeous, too.
On the multiplayer side of things, the game remains very popular; I've never had to hang around waiting for a lobby to fill up in the core game modes, not for more than a couple minutes. Sometimes some of the smaller modes can be a little empty, but just pick the right times of day and you'll always find people on there. The state of the game is also pretty strong; there have been steady tweaks and improvements since launch, but the actual experience of playing Battlefront II was never "bad" to begin with, simply just overshadowed by the EA microtransaction controversy and pay-to-win elements which were rapidly removed within a couple weeks.
It's a smooth, accessible, arcade-type shooter with fair, skill-based systems to help you unlock specialist units mid-match. There's fun to be had once you've gotten your eye in, but you can always mix things up with Starfighter Assault or the single player modes, ensuring you'll have plenty to keep you busy even if your core online shooter skills are having an off-day. There are always things to work towards, too. I'm at Level 26 and have plenty to be getting on with.
Be warned that all the free updates have made it quite a large game, though, so just expect a sizeable update to download once you pop the disc in your PS4 and have about 100Gb of HDD space free.
Otherwise, if you're a Star Wars fan who's found a copy for under a tenner, it's a steal.
@Th3solution thanks for bringing him for an answer.
@RogerRoger thanks for your impressions, I'll buy it. I reckon even if I don't like it I'll be able to just resell it and get my money back, and if nothing else, I'll enjoy some good graphics.
Oh, and sound. Remember to play with decent headphones on, if you can. The sound design is phenomenal and just adds to the overall Star Wars atmosphere.
Let me know what you think once you've played some!

Out of those I would recommend Last of Us Remastered. I love horror games, with action so for that I would recommend Evil Within 2, and God of War was awesome!! These days I'm playing a lot of Red Dead Redemption 2, and for my fps sweet tooth, I really like Rainbow Six Siege. An intense tactical fps.
Iām looking for a recommendation for an FPS where I can heal.
I used to play Resistance 2 back in the day and loved playing as a medic. Is there anything similar around?
@Fandabidozi What do you mean by heal? As in health packs? I know doom has them.
If you mean you can heal other players, Battlefield has a medic class that's a lot of fun. I've played a good amount of Battlefield 1 and my main class is the medic.
@Jaz007
Hey, thanks for the reply. Battlefield 1 looks like a great option thanks. Ideally Iād be looking to shoot my team mates to heal em but I realise that (probably) wouldnāt be historically accurate.
I donāt wanna drop a lot of $$ on a game like Overwatch or Battlefield 5 then find the healing isnāt fun.
@Fandabidozi Overwatch will be going on sale at several places and sites for Black Friday so there's that too. Honestly I would probably pass on Battlefield 1 (unless you have it on Xbox One since it's free with gold now) as the player amount will probably drop big time with Battlefield V now out.

Thanks guys Iām gonna get Battlefield 1 and Iām downloading Overwatch right now ($30 down from $100).
Iāve always wanted to play both games but the price point has put me off, and Iāll need to sign up to PlayStation +. Anyways Iāve got a gaming itch that must be scratched!
Cat Quest. My 5 year old daughter saw the ācute kittyā and begged me to buy it. Itās an RPG so I decided to give it a try. Itās the first video game my daughter has played and weāre having fun playing it together. Didnāt think Iād like it but for $7.99 I didnāt care if it was bad as long as sheād have fun with it.
Scrolling through this week's deals (physical/digital) and I realize I want to have a game to play on my own, as I play Red Dead exclusively together with my partner.
@Kidfried I'd recommend Dishonored 2. You'll be able to pick it up dirt cheap (under a tenner) and it's a very good game.
I feel that the Dishonored series from Arkane Studios is so underrated.
