Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@Thrillho Thanks for the tips, sir! Much appreciated. I loaned the PS5 out to my nephews for the week while they’re staying at grandma’s house, so when they leave and fly back to Colorado, I hope the PS5 and games will still be working.

As an aside, you’d think game developers would do a better job of spicing up the narrator commentary so it’s not so repetitive. That’s definitely something that gaming companies should care more about. Which game was it…maybe Bastion…that boasted the narrator never repeats himself? Whatever game it was, that’s the gold standard all games should be achieving in 2022 and beyond.

Until I get the PS5 back, I’m revisiting my PS3:
—Cubixxx is highly underrated. Playable by 8 people in couch co-op!
—Max Payne 3. Still holds up pretty well, but the game is dark and enemies blend into the darkness. Aarg!
—Just Cause 2. Not as good as Just Cause 3 or 4, but still playable.

Horizon Forbidden West. The production values for this game are insane. It looks stunning. The game has yet to click with me fully, but I am still enjoying it. Still really early on though, having just gotten to the first camp fire.

@JohnnyShoulder Wish you best of luck with Horizon Johnny. As I have mentioned in another thread I know a friend who reailly enjoyed that game (think he even ended up end platinumed it).

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion. I started it on Christmas Day, but it's been a pretty solid experience so far. It took a little while for it to click with me, but I chalk that up to starting this literally right after I finished God of War Ragnarok. Two very different games obviously, but the palate was cleansed the next day and it clicked from then on. It is interesting to see some of the characters from well before Final Fantasy VII Remake.

@oliverp Cheers dude, hopefully I don't bounce off it like so many games recently.

I thought I was finished Tales of Arise, well the story. It turns out I've still got a bit to go. Cool new opening when turning the game on though.

Over 30 hours played so far and enjoying it but does feel longer than what I've played, most likely due to the skits!

@MightyDemon82 Yeah I remember that part, you think your finished but then your not lol. I was pleasantly surprised though I really enjoyed the game and was happy to go on.

The skits do become over done though by the end of the game I was not really paying attention to them if they weren't story driven, which about 70% weren't lol

@MightyDemon82 yeah, I loved the switch in tone (& genre) that Tales of Arise took… decent game too.

@LN78 I'll grab it at some point it looks like fun!

@MaulTsir @colonelkilgore played a fair bit today, currently enroute to a starship and fitting in sidequests and fishing, LOTS of fishing.

Knee deep in GoW Ragnarok at the moment.

Not sure how far I'm in yet, but in terms of main story I've recently defeated the Nidhogg & freed Freya from the spell that bounds her to Midgard..

In terms of side quests I've Visited the Shrine in where Freya was married to Odin to get that sword, did all the spirit requests along the river, then went back to the desert in the elf realm to free the second jellyfish thing & visit that elf library, and did some other things while I was there.

I'm currently playing Sunless Skies.

I've played Skyrim a bunch of times, but never with this level of detail before, I'm astonished just how much stuff is in the game, random sidequests with deep stories about loss, war, redemption, collecting the different daedra items has been quite fun and the most authentic quests in the game. It's still buggy though, the game has crashed, objetives didn't update and quest npcs have fallen off the map but still, it's impressive what they did at the time.

@Bentleyma MGS5 is best enjoyed as a stand-alone game than as an MGS one.

It’s great fun to play but an absolute mess as an actual MGS game, despite its place in the overall timeline.

@Bentleyma it took me a while to get into it in all honesty… once it hooked me though I was all in. One of my top 5 games of all time!

Not really a PS5 game but I've been playing a ton of Ridge Racer 2 since it was added to PS+ Premium (also the reason I renewed my subscription because I don't want to lose access to it) and been reminded this is one of my favorite series of all-time. It really is the most 'video game' franchise out there. Was always a simple audio and visual treat with awesome gameplay to back it up, nothing like drifting around the corners at crazy speeds. Really wish we could RR 8 or at least an HD Remaster collection of 1-7 with all content intact and added trophies. That'd be day one for me without question.

Assassins Creed Origins. This is a fantastic game. Subnautica, very fun game.

I’ve just bought metro exodus and the expansions for £10 in the sale hopefully there good !

@Meehanuk_1987 i bought it a couple of years back but it’s still buried deep in my backlog. I’ve heard very good things about it though so I’m sure you just made a safe purchase… as for me I look forward to finally getting around to it… by around 2025 😅.

God Of War Ragnarok and its so so good!

@colonelkilgore @Meehanuk_1987 I’ve come close to trying to Metro series, but wanted to start with the Redux collection of the first two games before starting Exodus. I have Exodus by virtue of PS+ Extra and Metro Redux is frequently on sale for a couple bucks so it’s a minimal financial investment, but for me it’s just a lack of time when considering the rest of my backlog. Exodus looks great though. Maybe someday. I would like to hear how you like it though.

@MaulTsir Living up to expectations, it seems. Better than the 2018 GoW so far?
