New PS5, PS4 Games This Week (23rd May to 29th May)

Didn’t even bother to change the subheading this week…

I would get ghost of tushima but I still can't get a ps5

Pretending I don't see the top comment again (lol) there's nothing here that interests me so instead I'll be buying Trails of Cold Steel IV.

My mums partner already has the Director's Cut of Tsushima

@Inoccentbystande I agree there isn't much of anything out that I'm interested in. The Ghost of Tsushima dlc will have to do until Horizon Forbidden West comes out.

Tetris effect connected update? Wednesday 18th August?

Firstly, thank you @antdickens for resetting the comments, so much better!
Secondly, actually looking forward to trying my first bike racing game ever with RIMS Racing. Normally a four wheel person but two looks fun in the trailers I've seen of this one.

I really want the GoT DS as I thought the game was great. I got a little too much into it that I forgot about the main story line and started going around just doing standoffs and side missions for a while. When I came back to it though the story was excellent so hopefully they have carried that quality through into the expansion.

@Rocky1972 Are you UK? I though you guys can just make a preorder with some stores and then wait for a couple of months until it will be delivered

@RubyCarbuncle money well spent ! It's amazing

LOL finally no more top comment about Persona 5 Strikers. Back on topic I guess I'll try the Aliens game, apart from this nothing else really interests me.

I might try Psychonauts 2 as well but not yet, it'll have to wait.

I’m waiting to see how Psychonauts 2 reviews. For some reason, I just could never get around to finishing the first one, but I’d try it again. I mean, it took three tries for me to enjoy Witcher 3, after all. If Psychonauts 2 reviews well, I’ll give the first another go and then decide on the game after I try one more time. If it’s average, well, I’m ok. I’ve got 11 other preorders already this year anyway!

Can’t wait for Aliens. Watched some streams and wow did they nail the license!

I would be interested in Psychonauts 2 but it looks like there’s no physical release happening anytime soon so I’ll pass for now and wait for a sale.

Kind of interested in Aliens but definitely waiting on reviews. I got burned hard by Aliens CM. Isolation was a masterpiece I wish I bought sooner and probably one of my favorite survive horror games I have ever played. First PS4 game I Platinum.

Just make an isolation 2. 🙄

@OMG_Waffles I found out this was rubbish by the reviews on a certain stores website. Soon after, they pulled the comments section on their website so no one could complain about rubbish games, and warn others not to buy them. Pathetic

Aliens IMO is World War Z with a different license, shame I detested World War Z

Just not my bag, got GOT DC though 😎

Wow I thought Psychonauts 2 was only coming out on Xbox!

Tormented Souls and maybe Hoa.

Had aliens fire team since Saturday, it's good. It plays like wwz but with 1 less person. Sound is spot on and really enhances the experience. I've only played with the A.I as no-one else seems to have it yet, would be better with real people.

@Jeldan_Teh Aye same here. I blasted through its admittedly short (about 4 hour) campaign with AI partners because I can't find anyone online yet! But yeah, it ain't great, but kinda fun. Feel like its lacking the atmosphere of the film; especially since it seems to be leaving out James Horner's soundtrack!

@Jeldan_Teh

I enjoyed world war z for what it was. Kind of disappointed this is the director for the new Aliens game. Probably wait for a sale PS+ and reviews before I decide..

@JB_Whiting totally agree. Still on the second mission myself. It's not great, just good, glad I only paid £15 for it tbh. Hopefully it'll be more populated on release. Might have to give isolation a go. Had it for over a year but it in my pile of shame, 200+ of them, but can't seem to stop playing rocket league lol

King's bounty 2 is out tomorrow also. Its a series that hasn't been on console before (well the newer ones anyway) but is pretty popular with rpg fans on pc.

@Jeldan_Teh Please play Isolation. I keep wanting to play it again but I was so terrified the first time round I can't bring myself to. It absolutely nails the tension of the first film.

@Ninjadeath2023 I prob will eventually. Had it on the PS3, didn't play it before the PS3 broke and, now have it on the PS4 with all the dlc lol. I've heard it picks up your camera mic 2? Will prob need to disconnect it if it does

@Jeldan_Teh I’m in the exact same boat.. Isolation is sitting alongside so many other great games I’ve purchased and haven’t played yet. Rocket League is one that I’ll probably never get tired of playing lol. If you haven’t tried Splitgate yet I’d recommend it… it’s like rocket league with guns

@Breekhead got it, played a bit but still went back to rocket league lol. Gonna turn the vr on now and do some synth rider

I Expect You To Die 2 launches tomorrow

@Jeldan_Teh Nice! I only downloaded it two days ago so it’s still new and shiny. Synth Rider looks like a good workout, enjoy! 😄

@Breekhead it is. First time I actually stood up to play on the vr, thought I'd easily fall over lol, and really feel it in my arms and legs. U 2 😄

@Flaming_Kaiser I have Tormented Souls pre-ordered on PS5 for this Friday.
In my account for the site it's ordered from, it says the PS4 version is now out December 31st, but the PS5 version has gone from the listing. I emailed them to ask what's going on. Waiting on a reply.

@GoodGame I bought on Funstock i hope its still coming..... ☹️

@Flaming_Kaiser It's still out Friday

I'm liking alien ft has a nice pick up and play arcade style quality!

I just finished The Medium today (on Gamepass). It is alright but I wouldn't pay over $20 for it.

The gameplay is very weak, extremely linear, very simple puzzles. Even the "2 realities" rarely add much to the experience.

I would say 6/10 of you enjoy some of the setting and story.

Wasn’t that long ago that I picked up WRC 9. I’d like to know more about what changes there were in WRC 10 for PS5 specifically. Haptics we’re already amazing on it. Saw some older articles about the game but no full previews on any of the major gaming sites, which is strange so close to release.

I hope we’re getting a review on The Medium. Really curious how the PS5 version differs from the Series version if it differs at all

@get2sammyb have you seen the new film on Amazon Prime called The Vault? It has references to Sir Francis Drake and about stealing treasure behind the story line. It seems like it has a small Uncharted vibe to it about a couple of bits in the film because of the history and what they do.

@Rocky1972
That's one lame excuse considering it's the EXACT SAME GAME on PS4

Just Sonic Colors Ultimate for me today. I bought the Deluxe Edition so I get it early.

Tales of Arise and then Kena later in the month. I'm absolutely snowed in by my backlog so only 2 new games that interest me is a good thing.

Lost in Random for me, I feel Life is Strange is overpriced so not sure if I’ll pick later or not. Tales of Arise may be a purchase later depending on backlog

The Touryst (PS5) for me this week!

It's a shame that they dumped all the story and characters from season 1 of life is strange. The story and characters in the game are some of the best I've ever played in video gaming. Especially that incredible twist at the end.

Lost in random looks interesting, it's an EA Originals game by the developers of Fe

The Touryst, Life is Strange and Tales of Arise are all very high on my wishlist. Picking which one to get first is the tricky bit, but gut feeling says I'll probably go with LiS first.

@SM1FFY01 Love your profile picture! One of the best albums ever made, in my humble opinion

@BleedingDreamer
Off topic a bit I know, but in relation to your comment, I was just wondering whether you manage to keep up with all the new games coming out and, if so, how much you actually play. For me, to say there is nothing out that I’m interested in would be such a luxury, but as it is there are still games that are 10 years old I haven’t gotten around to yet and an ever growing backlog.
Admittedly I can only play around 1-2 hours a day now, but even if I was playing 10+ hours as I did when I was younger I don’t think I could possibly keep up with releases these days.

I like the openworld games like Red Dead Redemption 1& 2, or games similar to Fallout, Mass Effect. I did buy Spiderman Miles Morales just to see what the PS5 could do. It was ok but I'm not really into superhero games. I'm not saying it was a bad game it just wasn't for me. I did enjoy it enough to finish it. My time is so limited that I pretty much will only place something that I know I'll play. I wait until I am able to read reviews and until I can see real game play besides just a trailer before I buy it.

Pumped for Deathloop this week so we never have to see it in another sony show case ever again and yes I'm looking forward to playing it when I get a ps5

@RubyCarbuncle that game is amazing :3

Deathloop just hasn't peaked my interest at all.

@Happychocobo Haha, I thought the same but I have no interest in it.

Deathloop is going to surprise alot of people in how good it is I believe, in the same way Returnal did.
The music in the trailers is the excellent imho too.

@Futureshark Agreed

@Breekhead Rocket league with guns?
Last time I checked rocket league didn't have portals lol!
But seriously, splitgate brings fun back to gaming. Just today I put a portal in the place at the bottom of the map (the one to prevent you from dying if you fall) and another to a safe spot. So when an enemy drops, he sees the portal enters and get killed by me lol.

Ive caved and pre ordered deathloop to save £6! I hope its next gen as f'!

Even though Deathloop has been the butt of the joke recently I genuinely hope it reviews well. It does look pretty fun.

@lolwhatno Haha that’s a brilliant idea, I’m gonna steal that! Might be fun to put the other portal somewhere that faces out the map so when they fall through they fly to their death lol

Deathloop pre-ordered and preloaded!

Arkane have never let me down and this looks like Dishonored meets Tarantino so I'm so down! Hope it reviews well!

Rejoice, no more Deathloop trailers unti the Xbox port! Nothing for me this week as I am finally found a reason to play Horzion Zero Dawn and will get DS director’s cut at launch.

@Hobbesyall I thought for a moment you were referring to Sonic Colors Ultimate lol. Yes I've heard a lot of good things about Psychonauts 2.

See y'all next week when Kena comes out

Is anyone excited about £70 Deathloop or feel it might be a overdone Turkey?

What's the embargo for Deathloop? I want to pre-order it to save some money. But I'm not sure, if it is worth it.

Ordered me a ps5 disk version today that comes with deathloop and GoT directors cut so I will try them both but tales of Arise is still taking my full attention this week

@Luigia Deathloop is £60 plus there is a 10% pre order discount on PSstore. I payed £54!

@JAMes-BroWWWn midnight tonight i think. Definitely tomorrow.

@JAMes-BroWWWn considering the studio's track record i believe the game will be good. i expect around 78-83 metacritic score. Also sony wouldn't bother paying so much money for a bad game.

Nothing this just bought Tales so im good.

A LOT of people have gotten Deathloop early and I've seen people putting it in the GOTY list with Hitman 3, It Takes Two, etc. Now that could just be rampant fanboyism but I got a good feeling about the game. I want to get it but there's so many games out now. Idk

@RubyCarbuncle I actually meant trails of cold steel 4 ! XD I played it on switch but I loved it!

I kinda hope Deathloop does well but if it does then Sony's just gonna drop it into another game announcement event and call it an "accolades trailer" or something.

@Loftimus not a bad price and hope it puts a smile on your face, delivering something memorable.

@Luigia thanks bud! I hope so too.

@Hobbesyall Ahh right my bad. Yup Sonic Colors Ultimate by all accounts is broken on PS4. I got it on Xbox and the only issue I've experienced personally is audio either skipping or cutting out abruptly. I'm hoping they patch this soon because it's getting annoying now. Amazing how they could make such a mess of an 11 year old Wii game tbh.

@RubyCarbuncle I wanted to try sonic colors but all the reports of the PS and Switch ports being crap made me cancel my pre order

@Loftimus yea I was in work now and we got a new system which isn't working, so was bored and went on to Amazon and just ordered deathloop, haven't really been interested at all in it but thought I'd give it a shot, the last few games I have done that with are days gone, death stranding and ghost of Tsushima here's hoping my luck continues as I really enjoyed all three of those even though I had no interest in them leading up to launch.

I’ll Stick with Tales of Arise until Kena and Lost Judgement hit.

Nothing for me this week. I'll just be finishing Sonic Colors Ultimate collecting the rest of those Red Rings, I nearly have them all now. I'll also be playing the lovely Tales of Arise too while I wait for Kena Bridge of Spirits next week.

Wait... Aragami 2 is out this week? Picked up the original in a sale a couple months ago and it was suprisingly very good!

When will be that American Maniac Circus (or how is that called)?

Love to know whatever the heck happened to Zombies Ate My Neighbours/Ghoul Patrol's PS4 release! Dotemu were at pains to say they were "just the developer",& had nothing to do with its publishing/marketing & were waiting to hear back more...Lucasfilm Games twitter last post just said "soon" & that was back in July!🤔 That said, sounds like it had a mixed reception on Switch/XB so sounds like it was done on a shoestring budget more's the pity!

Keywe out 9/14? Might want to have a second look. I see 9/28.

Couple of good games that I’ll probably pick up in a year or two. Good to know the pipeline is still being filled.

I'm hoping kena Bridge of spirits turns out to be good, I've got it pre ordered on pre downlaoded on ps5 but the worrying thing is sony have done nothing to promote this game lately

Kena: Bridge of Spirits and Diablo 2 for me.

@Splat This 👆🏼

Kena, Diablo II, Death Stranding: DC, Lost Judgment.

What a great week!

Installed Kena earlier today. Looking forward to starting that.

@UltimateOtaku91 It would be the publisher’s responsibility to promote it and Sony’s not the publisher. It’s just a timed console exclusive. But also hope it turns out well.

Microsoft didn’t promote Death’s Door (also a timed exclusive) and it’s one of the best games of the year.

Frustratingly Kena doesn't become playable exactly as it becomes the 21st but rather at 5am on the 21st. That's a shame.

@Jeldan_Teh yeah it does pick up your mic.i was hiding from the alien and made a noise (I sneezed) and the alien heard it and killed me.terrifying

I'm quite happy playing ratchet and clank on my brand new ps5

feels like this game Kena has been coming out for the last 10yrs lol.. no thanks

Diablo 2 and kena for me i think..nothing else really interests me until battlefield 2042 releases..going to give call of a duty a miss this year as it really looks quite bland..

Kena for me. Not interested in Diablo as I found them quite boring and given the situation with Blizzard I refuse to buy any of their games.

Kena for me. Forgot that the pre-download started last night, so I'll download it over night and be ready whenever I finish the game I'm playing right now.

Might get Death Stranding at some point. I was tempted to try it when it was on the PS4, but still not sure if it's my cup of tea. At least I'd be getting a better version by waiting if I decide to take the plunge at some point.

Not sure about Kena now.
I’m waiting for reviews but I’ve read it’s only 10 hours long which is really short for an adventure game with no replay-ability.

@Rocky1972
Cracking….enjoy your brand new toy! 👍

Kena, finally! Can't wait!
Diablo 2 Resurrected too actually... they didn't add all the QOL options I would have preferred, but since I already preordered it, I might as well get into it.

I have Kena: Bridge of Spirits pre-ordered, plan to install the game sometime tomorrow if I can remember to.

I also plan on buying the $10 Death Stranding PS5 upgrade, hopefully will have Kena beat by then.

Diablo 2, 100%. Interested to see how Kena turns out.

Death Stranding DC for me. And Kena if it gets good review, but if the IGN leak is correct then they gave it a 4. Hoping the leak isnt true though.

https://www.reddit.com/r/KenaBridgeOfSpirits/comments/pro804/leaked_ign_review_shows_that_ign_gave_this_game_a/

I really hope the staff here at Push Square had a copy of Kena and publish a review today. If it’s good I’ll buy it now. Otherwise will wait for user impressions as I’m in no rush to play it (would love to but still can wait).

Really looking forward to kena, nearly finished the iki island so hopefully will pick up kena tomorrow. It does look really good from what we have seen.

Diablo 2 and Kena in the same week!? Going to get expensive!

Be interested to see what Kena looks & plays like on the Pro - not that we'll get the review of that here unless @get2sammyb can tear his eyes away from the white wonder and dust off one of those funny black boxes that used to be so popular in these pages?

Does anybody know if Kena is getting a physical release?

@Mostik just digital as far as I'm aware currently. Maybe get a physical release later on down the road. My Pre-Load is ready to go so can't wait to play after work tomorrow.

@WizzNL god I hope that 4 is wrong. I’ve been really excited by Kena since we first saw it, but always with the concern that this is their first game and gameplay is most important. (I can't see reddit on my phone to see details)

Ember Lab were/are Animators by trade so understandably the trailers always look amazing. But the game, and more worryingly Sony, have gone very quiet on it... almost as though they don’t expect it to be great. And there are no reviews this close to launch which doesn’t always show good faith.

Still Hopefully that is all conjecture and that 4 is wrong. (It's reddit so it's likely fake right?)
EDIT: This sounds very doom and gloom, but i'm actually still hopeful, but the lack of hype and marketing from Sony is a concern.

ALWAYS wait for reviews, especially for a new studio.

EDIT 2: Just remembering the first hour previews of Kena from Gamespot, PC mag etc. were all positive.

@MightyDemon82 Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Have fun tomorrow I am really looking forward to this so will be going digital until the physical edition hits 👍

@themightyant Yea im hoping the same, was really looking forward to this game. The score has been taken down now, but it went the same way with Biomutant. They leaked the score, took it down and later that day put it back up and the leak was indeed correct. Lets hope this time its fake, but i wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt.

@WizzNL All true. Though the lack of reviews isn't always a bad sign. Bethesda always do them late nowadays and Doom Eternal and Deathloop turned out pretty good

It's the lack of ANY recent PR from Sony that has me most concerned. You would think they would be crowing about it. Hopefully that is an unfounded concern and it's just that Ember Lab have been frantically getting the game as polished as possible and didn't time to have final code to showcase/make a trailer. (which is what they suggested about it not featuring in the PS showcase)

EDIT: Also to be fair a lot of people like Biomutant. It may not be that refined but if it's your jam a lower scoring game can be highly enjoyable.

Diablo 2 already downloaded. Looking g forward to upgrading Death Stranding to PS5 and will pick up Kena further down the line IF it reviews well. IF

@get2sammyb when is the Kena review embargo up?

@get2sammyb

Launch trailer Kena:

https://youtu.be/-vZkt4fCkOc

Kena photo mode trailer is super-adorable
https://youtu.be/yExmnI46srY

Game after game after game after game. I love that. That stormy September.
First F.I.S.T then Deathloop, Kena tomorrow and soon Lost Judgment.

@themightyant Okay that's easily the best photo mode I've ever seen. Makes Spider-Man and Rift Apart look stupidly basic by comparison.

@Matroska 100% That little look towards the camera and cheese poses, combined with the adorable character design really shows off Ember Labs history in animation. Looks absolutely lovely

@WizzNL thankfully our concerns were not warranted and it’s current 85 on Metacrtic 😍

Skillup covers how ridiculous the delay was in the first 2 mins of his video (below) the rest of the video is a bit spoilery for me but in short he loves it and says it has that x-factor (of charm and heart) that sets it apart from other games.

https://youtu.be/Fni84_u-es8

@themightyant : Just woke up so thats very good news. Going to read some reviews and download the game then. Enjoy playing this new gem!!

@WizzNL What I saw and read was enough for me to buy. Have a lot to play already but hearing the game is very polished out the gate I may prioritise this in the next few weeks (usually I wait for a patch or 5)

Enjoy!

Will happily dive in nostalgia with Diablo 2 R waiting for San Andreas to be announced. Good way to wait while I try to buy a PS5 for less than 1000 euros…

Fingers crossed for Monkey Ball to be good so I can look forward to enjoying it on Friday for the early unlock

Xuan Yuan Sword 7 Definitely has my interest!

Well thankfully I have more than enough to play so won't be buying anything this week, would have been tempted with hot wheels otherwise. Also luckily I did have ea play so got to try FIFA trial and I thought it was a bit rubbish otherwise I would have been tempted by that too especially with all the adverts yesterday while watching the footy.

eFootball is free, so will definitely be downloading that to see if it's any good. Didn't enjoy the last couple of PES' so have been a FIFA guy the last couple of years. Hoping this will tempt me back!

Hot Wheels Unleashed looks amazing! Hopefully it'll play as good as it looks?

No mention of Insurgency sandstorm!?
The only game I'll be buying this month.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is coming out Friday don't forget. I'm dying to play that. I remember playing the original Super Monkey Ball and the second game on Gamecube and finding them so difficult. I couldn't beat the Master Floors at all but this time that's going to change, I'm determined to beat them this time.

@Happychocobo Early unlock? I didn't see anything about that on the Store or do you mean the midnight launch?

@RubyCarbuncle Digital Deluxe edition gives you 4 days early access https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0177-PPSA01668_00-SMB2021JPDX00000/

@Happychocobo Oh I didn't know that. I guess I'll buy it later on then because I hate waiting.

Thanks for letting me know.

I am excited to get my copy of Chernobylite tomorrow, been wanting to play this since I saw a trailer for it.
I will be honest, keeping my expectations low.

HotWheels Unleashed I my pick for day one on this list.

@get2sammyb

Two missing from the UK list for this week as Touhou Gensou Wanderer Lotus Labyrinth R released on PS4 on 30 September 2021.

Also Melty Blood: Type Lumina was same day 30/9 for both US and UK.

Tried to play eFootball for a few games but it’s a mobile game in console clothes. Konami don’t care about the game or it’s fans.

As PES is 25 years old, maybe one day when it’s 30yrs old we’ll see a return.

@Rocky1972 the load times are almost non-existent it's so good on ps5.

This might be the craziest week for video game releases ever for me. There's 4 games that I want:

Far Cry 6
Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl
Alan Wake Remaster

I pre-ordered Far Cry 6 already though so the other 3 games will have to wait.

Done with Tales of Arise. FarCry6 is next.

Far cry 6 another AAA game with broken HDR, what is wrong with these companies releasing broken HDR all the time, almost every game comes out with it poorly implemented and broken and then it takes them months to fix, by that time no one is playing the game. Might as well just leave it out and save us the trouble of trying to adjust a broken implementation.

@Denni5m The HDR is broken? ahh that's so disappointing. I remember the HDR in Ori and the Will of the Wisps being pretty bad too at launch but now? now it's the most beautiful looking game I have ever seen in HDR. I'm sure this will look nice too, just give it time.

@RubyCarbuncle yeah it's annoying because the by the time they fix the HDR on these games I've already finished the game and moved on.
The studios always place it last on their list to fix and just ship games with broken HDR. I don't understand it almost every tv sold in the last 5 years has HDR it's not like it's niche.

@Connor_Pike21 cool man

October is a fun game release month . love the Halloween kind of games but far cry 6 is really good ,cant wait to play through alan wake barry is my favourite. looking forward to house of ashes!

I'd hate to know what you do with the move control with Probe: A Game Dev Experience.

Why are there all these old comments? (still figuring out the internets)

Gonna hold off on Far Cry 6 until a sale but excited to play. Weirdly playing a lot of AC Valhalla past 2 weeks. Only took 60 hours to warm up to. Ireland expansion is very fun.

Is anyone else missing the PS5 upgrade option on Far Cry 6 PS4 edition? (UK version).

What was the servers like for others during the B4B beta? I found every game I was in had awful connection and lag.

@get2sammyb
Missing The Riftbreaker out the 14th October
A demo is available too

Love a bit of Felicity Kendal

NHL21 here I come!!!

@frankmcma pushsquare has got lots of old(er) articles which they update sometimes (e.g. best ps5 exclusives will get updated when hzd releases). So the older comments originate from back when this first went up, some articles go back years so be wary of tagging people.

@Northern_munkey I find the campaing looking quite awsome and it has a campaing. 😄

So yeah ill be skipping BF 2042 instead.

@Waa-Laa they said it was a distribution error, where russian copies were sent to the uk, preventing the ps4 -> ps5 upgrade. I don't know how to resolve this.

@PhhhCough it's sorted now mate, I managed to upgrade yesterday. Thank you for the reply though, much appreciated.

@render... I did the same thing pal. I thought it was very nice and accommodating of the whole island (plus the many, many nameless peasants that abide there), to patiently wait until I had accumulated masses of headbands, banners and followed that annoying yellow bird everywhere, before finally remembering why I was there in the first place 😁...

Now if we can just get a decent Halloween game for ps plus

@Rocky1972 I feel your pain.

A 5TB HDD to replace my 2 plugged in has allowed me to download some older psplus games. FarCry 5 is my main this week with Murdered Souls and whatever else I can have a go at with over 70 plus games now downloaded. And Remember Me on PS3.

I keep my 4 years old son away from the TV a lot of the time and he has no idea what the tall white black and white thing next to it is.
But if Peppa had a Bulgarian translation, I’d honestly buy that game and show him how to play. He loves watching Peppa.

Pretty dead week. But I'm not complaining as I'm happily trudging through Returnal and Bloodborne (again)

I was reading the headline without much attention and was like "My Friend Pedro has a sequel?"....oh!

Heading to PC for Swords and Fairy 7.

Have Lost Judgement on PS5, so I am set on Console/PC for now.

Looking really forward to The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes

So glad I managed to secure a PS5 /s

@velio84 based on a "gameplay" trailer it looks like you just create a character and watch an episode.

Really looking forward to House of Ashes. I enjoyed the other two games in the series, especially Little Hope.

Voice of Cards on October 28th!

Everyone please give that game a shot. It's made by the same guy who makes the NieR games, and there's a demo for it too. Very exciting!

I'll be picking up GotG. I'm not expecting anything mind-blowing, but as long as it's fun to lay and well written, I'll be happy.

Don't think I'll be getting anything next week. Guardians of the Galaxy just doesn't look that great to me.

When is the Guardians review coming? I'm so on the fence about this one

Had guardians since thrusday. It's arguably the best marvel game ever made and if I could review it I would give it a 9 outta 10.

Everything about it is excellent I was surprised be the amount of dialogue choices you get and how it effects what happens I'm pretty sure after I finish it I will immediately start a new game and make different decisions to see how things play out.

Another plus for me is eidos constantly keep things interesting with small set pieces to large ones and the guardians are constantly having banter.

I'm curious just how much audio is recorded and it just keeps going and going.

If you like the mcu and gotg you will not be disappointed.

I'm definitely picking up Voice of Cards. Really enjoyed the demo so looking forward to that! I'm also going to give Riders Republic a shot with the demo at some point.

GotG is awesome, I feel bad for the devs though. There are literally idiots out there who think Crystal Dynamics made it and it's the same kind of game as Avengers. If they'd pay attention to the videos on it instead of crying in the comments they'd know it isn't. As soon as I heard who the devs were, I knew it would at least be decent. Square Enix is just bad at marketing games from their western studios.

No love for the Neptunia/Senran Kagura Ninja Wars? I mean it comes out on Tuesday in the states and Friday in Europe.

Well I got GOG early and I'm enjoying it

Backbone will be available on PS5 AND PS4 (should be corrected in the list). It will be the perfect sidekick of the overly happy Mario Party Allstars this week.

Lady in a leotard with a gun. I mean seriously. You're being post ironic or something. The worst kinda 'flash' game. I know the game releases recently are kinda dire but c'mon

If you're looking for Fatal Frame on the UK store, it's called Project Zero over here. 😄

Also my Neptunia X Senran Kagura got delayed so I'm rather sad rn.

Might pick up cod, think I'm in need of just some mindless shooting, the beta was ok so will literally decide in the next few days.

@Daleaf I'm waiting to see if warzone is a included with it before I decide , if it's same as mw & it's mandatory & no way to uninstall it then I'm skipping it

@Would_you_kindly yea install size is a big problem with cod, I think cold war you could choose to install certain things like warzone or campaign or single player. I'm still not sure yet but honestly will probably pick it up at some point as I do like a bit of mindless shooting every now and again lol

@darksoul77 I agree with what you are saying about Guardians, they have a new game plus so will be worth playing through again.

It’s absolutely absurd that another version of Skyrim is coming. A really cynical move. The correct response is to not buy it but the general public seem to be gullible as all hell…

I guess Blue Reflection and Tiny Tina.

I guess games releasing on disc that have already released don't count?

I have already played BF2042 with early access, I am hoping it's actually a completely different game come release day (Official) on Friday.

Here's hoping.

disco elysium physical edition

Ive got Kena and Disco Elysium both on the way this week

Farming sim and cricket both ordered can’t wait!

Deaths Door release week, at last!

Death's Door is so good - PlayStation-only fans are in for a real treat!

I have to remind myself that Deaths Door is not on sale, and that is the full price… so there is no rush! But I can’t help but feel the need to get it straight away

Death’s Door is worth full price. It’s a bargain for what it is. Fantastic game and my personal GoTY.

Might double dip on deaths door fantastic game, did play it on Xbox and enjoyed it, but I do prefer the playstation controller. Also supports the Devs on a fantastic game, but can wait for a bit as I still have plenty to play.

Death’s Door for $20 full price still a steal!

Pre-ordered Death's Door & got Titan Souls with it, it's pre-loaded & ready to go....! First game I've pre-ordered on PS4 in a long time..., I have a five day holiday weekend & know I'll be playing until I go back home Saturday for Thanksgiving dinner!

That’s quite the list 🙄

For anyone who missed it don't think Push square said anything about it or I missed it the Radiohead kid a mnesia exhibition is free on ps5 store, I had totally forgotten about it, my little brother who doesn't play games just told me he had read something about it and did a quick Google and it's out since the 18th he even said I want to play it and will be around to give it a go lol.

@Anke Try Driveclub Bikes, it's cheap and great.

Glad to see Solar Ash receive love. Not sure why ppl sleep on it.

Wait....is that a typo where it lists Solar Ash for PS4 only in the UK? I know the PS5 will play PS4 games but I'd rather have the PS5 version.

Twelve Minutes has my interest.

Isnt beyond a steel sky this week too? Mine has certainly only just been dispatched

6th - 12th is a huge drought. Even the rest of December not looking good for PlayStation.

Xbox definitely won 2021 holidays season, even if it's only because of 2 games: Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite. Let's hope those Q1 PlayStation releases deliver.

Lot of people eager to see Death’s Door 🤔 screenshot is giving me vertigo. What’s Dafoe’s role in that one?

I think Rune Factory IV would be more interesting than either of those. Unless it's not actually coming out tomorrow?

@JOH01 Rune Factory 4 is out now. It’s cheaper than I was expecting too!

Lol 12 Minutes 24,99€

What is the game in the screenshot at the top? It looks like some sort of top-down Hitman game??

@tomassi 12 Minutes

@Mergatro1d I just watched a quick youtube video of it, McAvoy, Ridley and Dafoe is impressive! The game itself doesn't look overly interesting though. Is it getting good write ups?

@tomassi I haven't played it but I have heard that the plot is a bit dodgy. Still, I'm interested in it, especially with that cast- but only when it is in a deep sale

Bad week indeed

Thank goodness freddies is out. Its the State of Play equivalent of deathloop. Feel like its had a million trailers at this point

No mention of Asteroids: Recharged or the Kingdoms of Amalur DLC? The Centipede and Black Widow recharged games are awesome updates of the arcade classics.

Might actually try Among Us once and for all.

My son is mega excited Among Us is finally hitting consoles. He'll be downloading that on Gamepass tomorrow.

Lots of communication

Among Us is just £3.29 on the PS Store!! I think I can skip the £20 odd quid physical Crewmate edition for that price!

Incredible selection this week, lol.

I thought deathsmiles was coming out.
No jap list?

I’m surprised all the publishers have given Horatio Goes Snowboarding a clear run to be Christmas number 1.

I guess they didn’t want their games to get pushed into it’s shadow.

@SoulChimera lmao the best part is it's free on Steam and a potato could run it.

@Jayofmaya Wait, what? It’s free on Steam and I’m wasting my time with you lot on here?

Seeeeee ya.

@Rocky1972 How is that possible? I've got a GoT and I'm just select PS5 edition and update game and that's all...

This January have a strong start with PS+ free games, SONY must continue with this logic and it will be a great!!!
Just to update UI how we can be able to use dynamic themes, and also to upgrade the PS NOW servis with new games...
Happy New Year to all of you!!!

US and UK aren't the only anglosphere countries. Could you stop doing this.

Seeing how open January has been, I'm surprised Syfu didn't try to bump up even earlier or at the least wait past Monster New Games February.

@Rocky1972 hmm you say your 41 but if i was going on your name you was born1972 so wont you be 50 this year ?

i only say that as i was born in 1972 so im 50 next month

Is here on pushsquare some ability to disable this article? It is still popping in my Timeline. Thank you for reply.

Pumped for Windjammers 2! I still can't believe there's a sequel.

Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and more. Anglosphere countries that aren't USA and UK that have people visiting this website. Stop doing this USA/UK release date thing. It's lazy.

@djlard If you're on desktop it would be easy enough to do with a greasemonkey script

@theheadofabroom no, on mobile.

I'll update my Uncharted games with the PS5 versions, but that's about it for this week.

Any reason why Rugby 22 is missing from Jan 22 list??

Didn’t even bother to delete the comments this week…

Bought Uncharted upgrade. Didn't play both of them yet so I am eager to play it..

Nothing that comes out digital only has my interest.
King of Fighters 15 Omega Edition for me in February. And I really hope it's good, otherwise I have to return it.
And in March maybe Gran Turismo 7, maybe.

Didn’t even bother to delete the comments this week…

Look at all those delicious games yum yum,now all I need is the time so I can play them all ,anyone know where I can pick up a cheap delorean.

@JohntheRaptor it annoys me that USA is first on a UK based website ,its not even alphabetical.....grrrrrrr curse you Internet, now im in a mood 😂

I thought Sifu was out on the 6th for pre orders?

I got Ketchup Story, cost about a quid!! Platinumed it in bout half hour!! Ya grow tomatoes an sell bottles er Ketchup!!

@W0rl0ck deluxe edition is 6th, normal edition is 8th

I'm really looking forward to Sifu tommorow!

@Ssimsim yeah i know i have the deluxe edition pre ordered

Excited for SIFU tomorrow! Game looks killer! Hopefully I don't get burned by pre-ordering but my gut says it'll be good

Have been waiting for fast paced Kung Fu combat since the realese of Kung Fu on 8-bit nes.
If Ollie is near a Trialbikegame with a skateboard it's a must.

@GalacticBreakdown One pre-order you won't regret! Just played through it on Xbox and it is absolutely fantastic.

Edge of Eternity looks interesting.

Just waiting for Horizon Forbidden West on PS5. I saw a TV ad for it earlier and it has me even more excited for it.

February 18th hurry up and get here. Thanks.

Powerslave/Exhumed was an instabuy for me. Nightdive delivers again on a great port. I hope that they'll give the pc version some love too..

HORIZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look for Kriandis fellow players! I will be on on release day

@Rocky1972
I have been most successful with Argos
Friday mornings about 6am PS5
Have managed about 3 so far for myself and friends.
Just look on the internet for what Friday they might drop them.
They are due a drop on Friday in February.

It's all about February 18th right now 🤤

I've already placed pre-order for Horizon Zero Dawn. Can't wait to explore the secrets inside the Forbidden West, after Zero Dawn left such a positive impression on me.

And to be honest there are not as many games for PlayStation that grab my attention this year (mainly 'cuz it's almost certain FFXVI and Hogwards Legacy will get delayed for 2023), except sequels like God of War Ragnarok

February is such a strong month.
Finished Sifu ✔️ a superb game
Next up Horizon Forbidden West 👀
Then Elden Ring 👀

It's all about February 18th with the first playstation banger of the year, followed by Gran turismo 7, then forspoken and then god if war Ragnarok.

What a year for playstation and hopefully some unannounced games as well

Oh; boy look what's on the horizon. Will I buckle and buy it? Let's find out ..

My PS5 Forbidden West is being processed right now

Definitely going to grab the Voice of Cards games at some point.

Good games this week.

@awp69 somebody says that every week! Glorious tradition.

So close to much death and frustration!...and hopefully that sweet sweet victory

All I see is the words "Elden Ring" on repeat in a paragraph format. Maybe my browser is messed up.

I didn't know Grid Legends was coming out. I might have to get that because admittedly I'm getting bored of Forza and tbh I find many of the Players toxic as hell. Give me a good Single Player racing game with a good A.I any day over stupid drivatars.

What are you talking about?
No way, this article is wrong...
Only one game launches next week, and that's Elden Ring !

There is only Eldin Ring.

Rise, tarnished!

@AstraeaV It's Elden Ring. Maybe Eldin is the smaller ring?

Oooooooh
Become the Elden Lord (of the ring)
🛡⚔️🐐👐🏻🌞

Who would've thought that this week would ever arrive.

Most interested in GRID Legends to be honest!

I would have bought Martha is dead but they had to censor it so now I'm unable to support it with my wallet

Shadow Warrior 3 for me. I'll buy Elden Ring once the save file corruption issue has been fixed. Gran Turismo 7 I'll buy during a Sale.

@Anke to be honest I think Ride is a better motorcycle game than Rims. The official MotoGP games are not bad either but a bit more difficult

@Rocky1972 Keep trying, mate. There's no special thing you can do. Those Twitter accounts help with alerts on stock, but otherwise it's sheer luck.

I managed to see a notification that various shops had stock within an hour of our being posted, joined a queue for each shop and got through to one of them.

I actively started trying to get one, doing the above, in October and scored one in December.

Edit:

Definitely worth the wait.

Gran Turismo 7!

What happened to Conan Chop Chop?

3 days guys then some track racing will commence.

Babylon's Fall, I heard the early access is live, went to Reddit to check out the sub but it's nearly dead. Idk why Square Enix do projects that they never promote well.

I need nothing else for months.. HFW, ER and GT7 have set me up.

I can see some games that are really interesting. But I will definitely buy these games here. I like to play but I like the propositions more and on this site the games are really great value.

Nothing for me this week as I'm just waiting for the new Final Fantasy game.

Can we get new ones of these every week? As in not just the article, but the comments section too? I realize this is to save time and effort, but having to scroll through over 6 months worth of comments just to make one now is a bit much.

@KilloWertz You can just press "End" if you're on PC, and then scroll a little upwards.
Otherwise, I'm with you, these articles are filler for me, I just skip them.
I think it's for newcomers, to make them think that 300 comments is normal.

@get2sammyb Will there be a review for Anno: Mutationem before launch?

@AdamNovice Not sure about timing but we got the game today so shouldn't be TOO long hopefully!

Just Final Fantasy for me. It looks crazy but honestly something like that would keep me entertained for a while, at least until Kirby comes out next week.

@get2sammyb Thanks for the heads up.

@RubyCarbuncle the wee man downloaded the Kirby demo at the weekend, had a bash and it was quite fun.

He's gone and pre-ordered it so I'll be stealing the switch from him at some point for a play through.

Again nothing for me as I'll be playing Kirby. I'm curious about Ghostwire Tokyo though so it's likely I'll be buying that the following week.

Hyped for both Ghostwire and The Kaito Files, late March is looking great for me.

@Rocky1972 I'm in the same boat!

Nothing for me. Got to try and be really strict on my purchases. Still got GT7, Elden ring, Ttiangle strategy and Horizon as my latest purchases. Not to mention the backlog. Reserving purchases for essentials only.

Ghostwire Tokyo for me!

For anyone who is interested, Dodgeball Academia is out physically on 25th too (PS4 & Switch). Another expensive week and I'm still not done with HFW.

Intrigued to see how Ghostwire reviews. I had a play of The Ascent on my gaming laptop via GamePass and it seems quite average but has a great aesthetic. Not sure I’ll ever get round to finishing it.

Can't we just have a article each week instead of scrolling through hundreds of pages.

In two minds about ghostwire as I expect it too drop in price quickly like deargloop and evil within so will probably wait for price drop or too come to gamrepass

Ghostwire Tokyo Day 1. After I saw, that Noisy Pixel gave it a 9, I'm absolutely in.

Imp of the Sun is another game that came out on all Platforms today. It reminds me of Ori to anyone that is interested.

I can’t wait for Weird West even though my backlog is growing with all the new games I got last month and this month

Moss 2 that's all that interests me next week, hook up the Headset again:)

Are you guys at Push square going to review Weird West?

I am absolutely giddy for CK3 and have already prepped the missus that it's not that I stopped loving her but I now need to bang the pope.

Same feeling as other comments above. I don’t get why months of comments are recycled every time unless just to be embarrassed at our own silly comments later on. 🤷🏼‍♂️
That’s it. I’ll see this comment in two years time in the ‘new games release this week’ article now.
👀 🧘🏼 Ha!

Moss 2 I guess but admittedly the wires of the headset are such a pain in the neck they make me not want to buy it.

@Rocky1972 Don’t lose faith. Just got mine last week from PS Direct’s website. Make sure you’re signed up on their email list and check your email every day. It WILL happen.

@jgrangervikings1 I've got one buddy.i just kept on and on and eventually i got my hands on one.

@JJ2 And make the people of PushSquare exert themselves in creating new content instead of simply copy-pasta like college students?
How dare you imply such a thing?

p.s. In fact, this comment above is one of the only 5 templates I post in every forum site I join. Stuff like creativity is alien to me.

Would have considered getting Moss 2 if I wasn’t certain it would be ported to PSVR2. I think that’ll be the issue with any PSVR games this year.

Getting both LEGO and Chrono Cross

Lake is out this week.

Hey Sammy the Store also lists Lucky's Tale for PSVR coming out April 7th.

@MidnightDragonDX Agreed! Though I will probably wait for a sale on Lego just because I have plenty still to play, but Chrono Cross will be day one

Chrono Cross can left in the dust after the review.

Buzzing… I loved the look of Nobody Saves the World when it released on Xbox and PC back in January. Had a feeling that it might be another 3 month timed console exclusive but (as per) couldn’t find any info on it… until now.

Nobody Saves the World is very good. You play a shapeshifter and constantly unlock new creatures to warp into, like a horse, a rat or a bodybuilder.

It's by Drinkbox who made Guacalmelee and Severed (one of my fav PS Vita games).

@Rocky1972 i suggest you to do as me....wait for the PS5 pro

What’s the game in the thumbnail this week?

@Jaz007 Road 96

@Fragile which is also on PS4, not that it's mentioned here...

Hey @pushsquare do you plan on reviewing Chernoblyte?
Did you get a copy early?

Pre-ordered Chernobylite. Can't wait! 😁

@Rocky1972 How come?
I've just bought a second PS5 for my son's birthday so he stops playing mine all day lol!

@eM1x029 I didn't realise Sony had announced a PS5 Pro? Please do tell, release date or specs?

@Gloamin I've been wanting to buy Chernobylite on PS4 for months, but I'm not going to risk it until they fix the save corruption issues. Hope the PS5 version doesn't suffer the same problems.

@Arkemyr Yeah the Devs actually personally recommended that I (and any others interested) held off buying the PS4 version due to this issue. They said it should be completely fixed with the PS5 release hence why its release date was pushed back a little. Fingers crossed eh? 🤞

@Zemo55 nooo don't get me wrong, I'm sorry if I said something to stir the muddy waters. I am waiting eagerly, same as i did with the PS4 pro....all I have is one foggy rumour for the distant mid of 2024, so I'm (we're) waiting. I can see that you have two PS5s if I'm correct. Can I ask you something?

@eM1x029 Yes pal, ask away.

@Zemo55 at some points I was considering to buy a PS5 (if I can get my hands on it), but if I try to go for it, I think, that I ought to change also my TV from 4 to 8K, and probably my audio to 7.2.1 or something....'cause when the PS4 (not the pro) came out I tried it on an HD TV and didn't feel the difference between 3 and 4 on that. I did felt it, though on a 4K OLED, couple of years later. So my question is this (sorry for putting you through such spaghetti western) did you, at some point tried the PS5 on a 4K and felt something different from the PS4?

@eM1x029 Yeah the differences I felt from coming from my PS4 Pro were the near instant loading times (even with the PS4 games) and the much better consistency with frame rates. If you can get your hands on a PS5 then do it!
When (or if lol) the PS5 starts having more games doing 120fps and any in 8K it would be worth getting a new tv I think.
My PS5 is currently plugged into a 55in SKY Glass TV and it looks and sounds great! (The tv handles 4K 60fps and has 3.1.2 sound system)
My son's PS5 in plugged into a 28in 4K 144hz monitor and will really come into its own when more 120fps games come out. ( The only game I've got that outputs 120fps is Devil May Cry 5 and it is silky smooth)

@Zemo55 great! Thanks for bothering to answer my silly question, and so thoroughly. I hope you (and your son and family) enjoy the consoles for years to come.

@Arkemyr been playing for over 10 hours now with no save issues yet. Actually I'm pretty impressed with the game's overall performance and stability. Hope it keeps it up in the later acts.

Edit: a minute after saying this I got my first crash... 😂

Hoho....
I saw something interesting. 🙂
Due to 20 May 2022

Stanley Parable for me this week! Crazy to me that it’s been two months since I’ve bought a game or put any preorder in. I’ve almost missed spending money on gaming!

A nice week off for my wallet.

Sherlock Holmes Chapter One for me.

@Gloamin Thanks for the update. I'll likely pick it up later in the year, once I clear a few of the games I've already bought. 👍

Anyone know if you get access to the PS4 version of Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One if you own it on PS5?

Do you guys have a "dad" on payroll to come up with these dad-joke bylines?

Deep Rock Galactic - Season 02: Rival Escalation starts Thursday, May 5th for PS4/PS5!

@eM1x029 there’s no way in hell a ps5 pro is coming in 2024 when they can’t even make and keep in stock the base console. Tbh I don’t see pro consoles releasing at all.

So can't wait for tomorrow.
But also sad a true work of art, potential masterpiece like Yomi, is wasted on Gamepass.
Will get a pack of Pringles later for 2 bucks and get the game (and 1 month of games) for free. Throwaway product. But still, looking forward to experience it.

@dark_knightmare2 probably you're right. We hope for the best and prepare for the worse. Me personally.... I've seen a PS5 in a shop in Denmark, and if you want one you just have to wait two weeks tops, or so they say.

12th May, Tourist Bus Simulator on PS5. Where's the love?!

@dark_knightmare2 100% the pro is coming. Who knows when but whether you hop straight into a pro or have a base console first that won’t change anything other than perhaps it’s release date

Evil dead yay

Oh wow it's already time for the Eiyuden Chronicle game!

@slips666 Pretty sure it’s just a prologue or something and not the full game.

@Bentleyma yes! I’m still excited for it!

Loved salt and sanctuary so i instantly purchased the sequel and after spending a couple of evenings getting the hang of it i can honestly say its brilliant..tough cookie of a game and i'm looking forwards to the weekend..

so disappointed that evil dead isnt single player.

My Name is Mayo 3.... GOTY contender right there~!

@C9906753 Yes! What a great surprise.

Hopefully Pushsquare do the right thing and give it a 10.

Hyped for Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong this Thursday! Finished Coteries of New York last week and currently playing Shadows of New York. Should be finished before Swansong releases.

There is a great article on Eurogamer about Motorstorm. Got me so thinking how this game could have developed and been the PS5 Forza Horizon in its own unique way, it’s a shame it went the way it did.
But maybe you never know and can dream.
