@sorteddan it's only a few hours long so I'd say wait for a decent sale on it. I completed it over two evenings. There's also a speed run option in the game which I didn't bother with. I believe it includes both the PS4 and Vita versions, at least the Plus version did.
@Thrillho it certainly is niche! I do have a bias because I love platformers but I tend to only love either the classics, revivals of classics or games that have a seriously unique selling point or gimmick. In terms of original IPs that I've loved and that came out in the last 10-20 years or so, VVVVVV and Ori and the Blind Forest are the only 2D platformers I've truly loved. VVVVVV for its anti-gravity gimmick, soundtrack and just general world and atmosphere. Ori for its strangely rhythmic but still tough Donkey Kong-esque gameplay. I think I loved Type:Rider because it's USP was the educational aspect to it. The music is pretty good in it as well. The platforming wasn't mega hard or necessarily unique but the atmosphere and look of the game was very appealing and in keeping with its educational theme.
@ralphdibny Have you tried Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair? Quite an old school feeling platformer with lots of replay ability and some clever level design.
@Thrillho nah not yet. I do own it and the first one on Switch but unfortunately, like most games I actually own, they are still in the backlog because I am so beholden to playing games on both subscription services before the games leave in the case of game pass or before my sub ends in the case of PS Plus lol. I am sort of looking forward to being sub-free at some point though!
@HallowMoonshadow That does sound like a good idea. Nintendo Life review all the games that come on the Switch Online service as well. Although I’m pretty sure they have a larger staff!
@HallowMoonshadow It's currently undecided but I definitely want to. I'm sure we'll figure out something, even if it's just a selection of the more "interesting" things.
@JohnnyShoulder@render I was shocked that Stray will be day 1 psextra. I thought they mentioned no exclusives will be day 1. I'm glad they backtracked on it. Like you said Johnny, Stray will be a good palette cleanser between great games. Plus you play a cat. That in itself will be fun.
@HallowMoonshadow@Elodin Yep - even more specifically - they said it wouldn't work for them to put every 1st party game on the service. That doesn't even mean none of them will be there (I could see some of the unannounced live service games launching on the extra tier while not being free for essential subscribers).
I think it was a popular assumption that many indies would launch on PS Plus Extra in the future so this wasn't a big surprise to me (especially since the date leaked a while ago and seemed in line with the "mid-month ps plus refresh").
Since July 19 is the third Tuesday of the month, that's probably when Extra/Premium will update. I hope that also means we'll learn what the update will be the Wednesday before instead of the day before like PS Now was doing.
In Japan, it seems there's now an upper limit for the premium upgrade fee. Meaning it'll cost the same to upgrade 50 years as say 5 years. Good news for the people with lots of PS+ who couldn't get any PS Now.
Anyone that had psnow for awhile know if either ps2 Champions of Norrath games was on it in the past? I'm really hoping they will be on premium. One of my all time favorite ps2 games.
@Elodin Nope, only PS2 games were the ones that got specific PS4 ports. So the Star Wars games, Dark Cloud etc. Which is exactly what this new service is doing too.
Rollerdrome is suspected of launching onto PS+ Extra. The release date is the 3rd Tuesday of August at the time when the store updates the new PS+ Extra games.
