Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

Been playing Spider-Man Remastered. I already completed the main game but haven't finished the DLC and didn't get the secret suit.

The DLC feels like Insomniac was thinking "how do we make the most frustrating experience for players?" then proceeded to put a mediocre story in-between. It's annoying at times, and the boss fights or side missions can be really repetitive, but it's still Spider-Man PS4. It's not bad, but it's a very 6.5/10 experience compared to the 9.5/10 main game.

Getting close to finishing the third and final part of the DLC so hopefully I finish before Monday, and can get to actually playing my massive backlog of games.

Oh and getting the secret suit wasn't awful but I got stuck for nearly an hour figuring out what secret photo I missed, so that was fun. All that for a suit that's basically some normal-ass guy wearing a Spider-Man mask.

@kyleforrester87 Sorry if I missed it, but what were your final thoughts on the previous Aliens game?

@JohnnyShoulder Fire Team Elite? Only played a couple of missions, I’m sure it’s more fun co-op but kinda bleh with bots. I’ll probably get back to it. I’ll play it with you if you get it lol

So I started playing Red Dead Redemption Online a few days ago. And well the game feels like a massive undertaking so I think I might want to play something else to. Its funny because I first thought it would be more something like a series of mini games but it turns to be quite massive. Not sure I want to spend that many hours in a western digital world right now..

@oliverp I played Rdr online just for the online trophies and even that was such an undertaking that after I completed it I put the game down for several months before starting the single player.
I think I just played the treasure hunter role for one or two hours a day, for nearly a month....the real pain though is that you need to play everyday otherwise your GaaS bonus dwindles away.

@kyleforrester87 Sounds like a dream come true. I'll bring the jam.

Seriously though, I will look into it as I've not actually seen any of it for ages. Will be a rare foray into the online world for me.

@JohnnyShoulder sounds good, let me know - would be a fun way to get through it! Don’t play vast amounts of online either really.

I’ve been playing F1 Manager 22 a lot these past few days. Getting myself hyped for the next entry in the series that’s releasing at the end of the month. Hoping I’ll manage to take Hamilton to his 8th world title!

I’ve also finished the main story in Diablo IV. I really enjoyed it. Quite a few of the boss fights were really cool also! Plenty of end-game grinding to do now though, so I may play a bit more ‘on and off’ now.

Final Fantasy 16 might have my favorite combat this gen. I just finished the last hunt from the hunt board and that was extremely satisfying.

About 20 hours into FF 16 and man, I'm completely torn, there's some stuff I really like and a ton of stuff I just can't believe made it into the game, it looks like a 2023 game but the design feels like something from 3 generations behind. I'll continue to play it but damn, didn't really expect this from the demo.

I’m nearing the end of Sackboy, having just got to the bonus world, but still have a few trophies to pick up including String it Together which is going to take me a while.

You need to ace a long and tricky platforming segment together and I had a few goes already and keep getting to around the same part. But it’s so frustrating having to repeat the opening 4 minutes over and over just to get back to that point. A good but highly frustrating challenge!

@Thrillho I think I tapped out when I got to the bonus world.

Cool and fun game, but I'd had enough of the game by then.

@JohnnyShoulder I’d been insistent on acing every level until I got to the last couple of main levels (even managing most of the co-op levels playing both controllers myself!) but will probably skim the bonus world ones to just complete the “final” level now.

And then it’s just the matter of getting gold on The Ripsnorter!

@Bentleyma I look forward to playing that someday... whenever I finally play Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure. I don't plan on ever playing the Cold Steel games as that's just too much to play at this point, but I'll gladly play these three to get the whole Crossbell arc.

I almost gave up on Rougue Legacy 2 this week, as I wasn't making much progress. But then I had a really good run last night and got through like 2 sections. Huzzah! A quick beginners tip: put as much as you into upgrading your health and then your other abilities like strength and intelligence. Most of the other stuff is handy to have but not a necessity.

@Bentleyma If you can figure out a way to add more time to each day so I wouldn't be pushing aside other games just to play the really long Cold Steel games, then maybe that would happen. Let me know.

I'm up to the end of Final Fantasy XVI, just mopping up some side quests before heading to the final boss. I kind of don't want it to end. After that, I'm going to finish Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (still got to do Yuffie's chapter).

Started playing Miles Morales yesterday after owning it for three years.

It's a great game but I don't like how you need to do new game+ to 100% it.

@Bentleyma Yeah, the wee bit of Cold Steel 2 at the end felt like that to me. The Crossbell games are brilliant and after slogging through the somewhat dire Cold Steel 1 and 2, it was nice to see Lloyd in full 3D. I’m only a little bit into Cold Steel 4 so I’ll hopefully catch up after god knows how many hours sunk into this series, bear in mind I binged the Sky games on Vita!

@HotGoomba I had no problem with NG+ for Miles Morales either. The main story is pretty short so you can fly through it in no time, especially as you’ll be fully levelled up already.
