Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@MaulTsir Better late than never. I hope you do end up loving Forbidden West as well. I know I did.

@Th3solution FF16 being sort of action packed might seem very similar to Jedi Survivor, there's not as much scope for adventuring in FF16 as there probably is in Jedi Survivor because the maps are a little more linear but there is plenty of side/hidden bosses and hunts to do.

I do have an interest in going through the Dark Soul's series but when I don't know, the common problem on here is backlog and like everyone else mine just seems to keep getting bigger, every time I feel like I progress more and more games come out! By the time I've completed a game, especially something like Elden Ring or Assasins Creed Oddesy, it's taking 3months or more and by then 2 more major titles will of came out plus 3 or 4 smaller games that will have peaked my interest, I simply cannot keep up!! I'm rambling nonsense now so back to the topic...

I'm glad you played Stray I thought it was a fabulous little game and real good in between!

I really enjoyed Deaths Door it was a really fun little Indie game, not to long either so a great little side game to have. I played and loved Tails of Iron, a great Indie Soul's type game and I even platinumed it so that tells you how much fun I had with that one, it's definitely worth a look.

@KilloWertz I had another go of Horizon Forbidden West last night and just arrived back at Meridian for the first time. After an hour or so I have quickly picked alot of the stuff back up again, looking forward to delving deeper into it because it feels alot like HZD in a good way.

@MaulTsir It is, along with the side quests being pretty good as a whole. Each area you end up visiting basically has their own mini-stories via them. My only real complaint was that traversal could have been better, but it was more of an annoyance at times rather than anything that really took away from the game.

Obviously it's an absolutely gorgeous game too.

I started Arcade Paradise with the intention of playing on some of the retro inspired machines in it. I instead spent a couple of hours loading and unloading washers and dryers, picking up trash and throwing it in the dumpster and prying gum off the walls. So far so good...

Started playing Dishonored a few days ago but have had a little bit of hard time getting into it for some reason.

@oliverp I was the same with Dishonored. It just didn’t quite click with me. I spent 3-4 hours with it maybe. I always intended to go back to it and try again but I doubt I will at this point.

Started playing Horizon Forbidden West last night but only had an hour from load to finish so didn't get far, loving the game and looking forward to delving deeper.

Anyone playing The Texas Chain Saw Massacre? Tempted to pick it up because it looks like it could be good fun.

@Max_Headroom I've managed a few more sessions on HFW and I've got to say the more I play the more I enjoy it, they story is really picking up as well now and the combat is really good which was something that surprised me in the First game. How are you finding it?

Loving every minute, i dont really have time to spend as many hours a day as i would like to (i wish i had) so it'll take me a while to finish it, i am like a big kid every time the characters talk to each other and you can see every line and freckle even their teeth look real, i am glad i started playing this as it really does show what the PS5 can do.

I am currently playing Demon's Souls on PS5. i just did a lot of soul farming of the silver skeletons in one of the areas in the game and managed to obtain the Crescent Falchion+1 which should melt a fair number of the regular enemies as well as the bosses, although I also have my eye on another weapon as well.

@colonelkilgore & @LieuetenantFatman I thought I'd tag you both, as fellow Souls fans you might find it of interest.

I'm still plugging away at Horizon Forbidden West. Apparently I'm 48 hours in and it feels like I've barely scratched the surface!

I am not sure but think I am about 12 hours in so a long way to go, I have just met the big fella that has the first thingy (forgot it's name) she needs under his throne so I guess I have a long way to go.

@Max_Headroom You’re doing better than me then as I spent the first 30 hours doing side missions I think 😁

I haven't done many side missions i think its time to stop rushing through it and enjoy those as well.

@Max_Headroom It's always a problem of mine in these massive open world games that I get FOMO and so end up doing every side mission as soon as they come up. But when I get back to the main story I'm so over-levelled it's a bit ridiculous

One problem I've had is that I'm really blasé about the skill tree and routinely have like 30 skill points to use as nothing seems particularly exciting to put the points into. I've also found the RNG a bit annoying when trying to hunt for specific machine parts so have taken to dropping the difficulty to story mode at times as that gives you a 100% drop for everything when you take down the machine.

I'm playing some Texas Chain Saw Massacre right now. I'm still learning the ropes and figuring things out, but it's a fun game so far and I think I'll continue to enjoy it the more I get into it.

Armored Core VI on Friday too...

@KAIRU You could say you are still oiling the blades.... or not. 😆

@JohnnyShoulder Absolutely. Gotta keep things lubricated! 😏
