@Kraven I'm wondering if it's some kind of OCD thing, like how I have to have my white spine ps4/5 games separate to the others on the shelfs. But I'm not massively ocd, and with trophies I don't even think about them until I have nearly finished a game to see if the plat is doable because I used to let them dictate how I'd play a game and even take some of the fun away.

Psychonaughts 2 I played on xbox back when I had one. I lost interest in it but got quite far, so I don't know if I'll want to play it again. Maybe..

Stardew - I have played it for hundreds of hours with my gf, on PS4 and with mods on PC, and like others said, it's a bit lame because it's often on sale for what, £5.99 or thereabouts? Not to mention it's really really old.

Viewfinder - Not familiar with it but I like the odd chill cosy game.

So objectively it's pretty good overall.

Been playing it for about half an hour, while I can! It's okay, I'm not big into open world racing games but it's not bad for a game I've never heard of.

I sold the game a while ago not seeing any reason to keep it. Oh well.

MGS3 was my least favourite out of the first three games, but I'm still interested in playing the remake. I hope they remake the first game, I played that game to death on PS1, unlocking everything possible!

That's exactly what I want from a remake, a faithful recreation with shiny new graphics and controls.

Yes seconded, I found it odd they skipped MG1 and 2 to remake 3. 1 is my most wanted remake of the Metal Gear games.

I had the special forces Jax game back when it came out and thought it was extremely mediocre back then so I imagine I'll find it to be a steaming turd by today's standards, but I never had the misfortune to play the sub zero game..

I'm not all that enthusiastic about He-Man even if I did see it as a kid, but bitmap bureau made my favourite beat em up Final Vendetta so this is a day one purchase for me!

Resi 2 and 3 are better titles to me than the twisted metal games, which I found to be very unplayable now, even if I loved them back in the PS1 days, whereas I imagine even with tank controls the Resi games have probably held up somewhat better.

@nessisonett Nice! That was pretty clever of you to come up with and integrate that!

@Ken_Kaniff If you're just a console gamer, and I'm assuming you are, then there's no reason really why you would have heard of them.

@nessisonett There's absolutely no logical reason I should enjoy Euro Truck Simulator on PC yet I did! I liked that I could integrate my mp3s into the radio station iirc?

@RiverGenie Heh, great response! ☺️

@RiverGenie A fair point, but then I have to ask why Pushsquare give the answer as "it's a crap selection" which makes it sound like someone is saying the games are bad. It should read as something like "None of them are any good for me", no?

@Northern_munkey I don't disagree with your statement, but Sony ain't doing ***** so my approach is a suggestion to at least meet us consumers halfway. Not as though they'll be reading any of this..

@Northern_munkey Trials are more cost effective for a studio as they don't need to do anything particularly special like when creating a demo, so it's funny that you have to pay for trials.

I think it would be fairer and still within Sony's wanting to make Plus Premium worth paying for to do different hours for the bigger game trials. So Death Stranding 2 could be 2 hours for everyone and 5 hours with Plus. If someone gets plus premium during the trial time, those extra 3 hours are topped up on top. Probably a logistical nightmare but I was trying to think of something that would be more consumer friendly that Sony might entertain.

@Balaam_ Game trials do unlock trophies. I got a few yesterday for the 30 minute trial of "I, AI" which I turned off after 10 minutes as I didn't like several design choices, and got one also for a trial of "House Flipper 2", which went off after about 5 minutes..

@EfYI This is a much less offensive way of putting it, so I have no issues with what you said, just for the record. People who vote it's crap, have unrealistic expectations for Plus, and I can only assume they'll only ever be happy if it was doing a Gamepass with day one releases of AAA titles, something Sony have clearly communicated isn't going to happen.

@Kienda I'm pretty sure he meant people who voted it's a "crap selection" are "mentally stunted", to which I have reported as abusive behaviour because that's really not nice. And that's not even targeted at me because I am really happy with these games, but it's still not on!

@nessisonett Ah yes, I guess people are mistaken. I see Kotaku put "again" for Spiderman remastered.

@nessisonett The votes are currently very much higher for the remastered version that people claimed had yet to be on Plus before? But even without this title I am very happy with this month's lineup. But I see where you're coming from.

@Northern_munkey Yep! The story makes as much sense as buying wet toilet paper but addictive blasting crazy fun!

Poor EDF with no votes, but it has some fierce competition! Really good timing, me and my gf are just about wrapping things up with EDF World Brothers 2.

Very happy with this month!

I put off buying MK1 for months, I just had a gut feeling it would be on Plus soon, and here we are!

Me and my gf just finished EDF World Brothers 2 and never played EDF6 so that's awesome!

Several games here sound interesting that I've never played.

Harold Halibut is a solid game, had it on Gamepass, tempted to play it again and get the trophies in the process although it's a slow burn of a game.

RE 2 and 3 is cool too.

@Zuljaras It certainly inspired many point and click games! I got the PS5 physical! Just gotta wait however many years for them to remaster my favourite BS game, the second game in the series! 😅

I've been playing Lies of P on the easiest difficulty which still feels challenging for me and my nerves when playing souls games, and a bit of Grid Legends but on hard mode because otherwise even on medium difficulty I just find myself very quickly at the front of the pack and bored racing alone in 1st, which is odd, I'm usually rubbish at racing games too..

@Kraven I finished Robocop and found i had Unfinished Business of being one trophy away from getting the platinum and it was right at the end of the game about upsetting a child! Gutted. Given the game has no manual saving.

@nessisonett Haha yes, I am pretty sure I played this game but almost zero recollection of actually playing it.

I wouldn't be interested in the game at all but split screen would change things..

@djlard I understand where you're coming from but again, you can still play the original FF7. I didn't mind the combat in FF7 remake but it was far from what I wanted too in a remake. It strayed too far away and messed with the storyline. But they're still good games, just not what I expected lol.

Then there's Crash where they messed up the jump, so again, I get it in that way. I wouldn't agree that 90% mess up a remake though.

@djlard Struggling to understand why you'd be so bothered about a game getting remade that you only ever played for 3 hours AND they're giving you the option to play the original version anyway so just don't play the remake?

@nessisonett Ah right I didn't absorb the rest of what you said to realise you meant recently and not back in the day.

@nessisonett Gee how did the disc die after 40 hours? 😛

@Midnyte-Monkey Is this why I'm struggling to remember playing it lol

I don't recall it being terrible or anything, just meh. I can only remember running around lost on a space station or something.

I played the Lies of P demo when that was released and couldn't finish the demo so that was it for me. Now I see in the comments that there's an easy mode, good stuff! These souls like games make me so anxious that my gaming skills turn to mush.

The other two games, I won't even claim them.

@nessisonett If its going to playable offline then it is designed as you say, so that cannot be the reason it's being delisted. So i think what the article said about expiring car and track licences is probably spot on.

I wasn't going to buy it day one, I was going to wait for a price drop, so it doesn't really affect me all that much. It seems a tad steep for a retro pixel game. And I say that as a pixel artist who knows how much work goes into pixel art! I hope it sells really well on release though, talented devs.

My brain says no but my heart says yes

I realise it's not a new release as such but Broken Sword Reforged physical edition is out on 25th July. I've held off double dipping all this time!

@ShogunRok I am quite happy with this. If he was fully upgraded there'd be no reason to do side quests at all.

@Markatron84 I'd like to know this too!

I've got it coming today physically. It sounds like it could do with a few patches to fix some things like those typos mentioned, but I'm busy with other games right now anyway so hopefully it'll be patched up a bit by the time I play it. It's cheap enough on launch to not wait for a price drop, I felt.

Stargate SG-1, you play as Teal'c

@PuppetMaster i thought it was a new thing pretending to be a very old anime. I take it the cutscenes were just taken from that then? I thought they were made with brilliant authenticity!

I played the demo, I found it a bit annoying to play. Something about how he controls I didn't like, and it was just kinda boring. Far better games of this ilk out there.

I just got Assassin's creed shadows for £40 physically from Smyths, this is why I tend to only buy digital games that don't have physical releases.

On the very rare occasion, my PS5 freezes up on the dash. It happened yesterday, and after a while it restarted itself and sent a report.

Also my dualsense occasionally thinks I've plugged a microphone in and the tv sound goes off. About once a fortnight. Fix is to plug headphones in and take out. I never even use the jack!

I'm virtually friends with Rob on social media, so I already knew about this!

Rob has come far since this game, he wrote the Outside the Wire and Jackpot movies. But it's good to see he hasn't turned his back on games.

I didn't like the timers in Tony Hawks games so 4 was the first one I actually properly got into and played the whole career. So it's a pass for me, maybe one day when it's really cheap.

@naruball Yeah, similar feeling. It doesn't seem to matter how many years pass and that my life is better than it was, I put cyberpunk on and I'm taken back to that time of my life. It quite frankly sucks lol.

Has anyone ever played a game during a really bad time of your life where you sunk into depression to the point of having suicidal thoughts and now that game is forever tainted? Cyberpunk is unfortunately that game for me.

And I love cyberpunk stuff.
