@WizzNL I was not aware of that, thank you kind sir!

As usual, WWE doesn't work for me, because it used to have a trial.. will probably get fixed down the road, but it's getting ridiculous that they still launch monthly lineup with the same bug.

I loved last trilogy and would definitely be up for more. Maybe not as good as Uncharted series, but you can only replay those as many times..

Not a bad list at all, few games I hoped would join the service so I don't have to cash out money.
Totally OK with PS Plus Extra offering for now.

My top 5 choices from the list are all PS exclusives. And that right there folks is why I love Playstation.

Great idea, but won't be selling my unit.. no purpose really, assuming this is just a slim revision. Would have loved to buy this initially though.

This shall get bloody now (it was already quite messy, but we are turning a new gear and I love it). It's like Seconds before catastrophe

Yes, very much yes. Very happy 😊
These actually provide some value (although PS Plus Essential could have easily been just an online play tax).

Good month! Even if game 3 ends up being meh, Mass effect is 3 games in 1, and Biomutant is exactly the type for PS Plus Essential (mildly interested to try, but would never pay for it).

Still making my way through God of War Ragnarok, enjoying every second of it.

I need more free time! On a personal, life choices, level this is such a disappointing fact. (genuinely love the game, but am about 60-70% percent through)

Well deserved. it is the best PlayStation game in a while, but with surprisingly good competition

Somebody actually made an argument to me few weeks back how this game made it worth getting GP for November on it's own..
That didn't work out quite well.
Ever since gameplay trailer it was obvious it wasn't going to be very good.

Honestly, I'm satisfied with Extra currently. Especially with Black Friday sale offer.
With that said, no idea what he is talking about..

10/10 from me. People have different tastes in gaming, and I can understand not everybody will judge it like I do. But man, it's fun and immersive. Small detail, like having to pull back your axe manually makes so much difference, and makes both GOW reboot games mechanics so engaging.

As an Extra tier sub, there might be few games for me here. Still, a tough sell for Premium folk.

@naruball HFW is in a lot of people 3-5 best games of the year. That is hardly a flop or disappointing outcome, and there are worse things to be forced into getting as consumer (cough cough, Destruction All Stars).

Glad GOWR has seized No. 1. That list always reminds me how much Nintendo still "owns" physical sales.
Sonic game will just have to wait for me, I plan to turn every stone and open every chest in GOWR

Awesome casting, as soon as he entered the scene for the first time you could just feel his performance owning the "room". I believe that sort of energy was needed for somebody of Odin status.

Ideally, it's an option that can be turn on/off. But I'm not too bothered by it, as long as there is more than a 3-second timer before they start throwing spoilers.

I guess it's just about how high the standards you set for yourself. Never change SSM

I just love Sony and this studio.. game being called the most polished AAA experience in years, and then this is their day one patch (showing how much more they are willing to do).

Well that's a disappointment. PC3 I could care less about, but Dirt 5 was very underrated. Personally, I liked it over FH5. Also Dirt rally 2.0 had a very specific vibe which I'm not sure is going to transfer over to rebranded WRC title (assuming they target the same audience and driving model of old WRC titles).

@4kgk2 it's different games and audiences. Me personally, not a fan of Elden ring. Would vote GOWR and HFW above it. But that does not mean general opinion agrees.

While waiting for GOWR, this weekend it's Gran turismo 7, Splatoon 3, and Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle.

I'm playing PS4 version on purpose, just wanted to say that. PS5 version is not significantly better, in any way that matters and uses my precious SSD space. Wouldn't be surprised if I'm not alone in this.
Sony's handling of both version's accessibility has gone from bad to great (PS5 version by default, easily accessible PS4 version).

Expected 9/10, pleasantly surprised with the review. Can't wait to get my dirty paws on it.

@IonMagi you do know you don't actually have to buy anything for BC. Just keep what you have, and it's not BC, it's just C. Works like a charm.

I expected this price to be honest. It's a high-end product, and I'm sure even with such a steep price tag they will lose money on it.
Compared to PSVR1, I don't think it's actually that much more expensive? For the usable setup that is (with controllers and camera)

@MightyDemon82 no idea, been gaming for over 30 years and never actually purchased one. I have tried at friends or acquired through subscriptions many though. And never quite understood what makes them such a money maker.

If this was Purexbox and MS, article would read revenue on subscriptions increased by 10%. No mentions of subscribers numbers..

So sad. Excellent game, and I've loved the franchise since first LBP. Hopefully it finds audience down the line :/

@sword_9mm I actually played it on XSS, but didn't think it was relevant for my score (if anything, 900p low resolution adds some artifacting and shimmering due to upscaling techniques that don't work on such sample, but I'm aware of that just being XSS).
XSX might fare better, not sure.

7/10 for me. Art and design are great, but gameplay is lacking and framerate is just too distracting. Not sure what it is, but this game feels like it's 20 FPS when it's 30, and 30 when it's 40. And as with any new release, there is a healthy dose of bugs and roughness around the edges.
With that all said, still decent, joy to watch in static, and with a performance patch could be very good.

Awesome, wanted to get my hands on Nioh 2. Could have been much worse.

Would be cool if it was a cross platform Sony funded game on MS infrastructure.. one can dream..

It's gonna be DS2.

Preordered it because I wanted to save a few bucks. There was never any doubt in my mind this wasn't going to be Sony at its best. Polished like a hood of a supercar. Or a certain God's axe.
Anyway, as long as they keep making these perfect single-player games I'm gonna keep buying them. And no, there is really no valid alternative to PS when it comes to that.

Might actually be a problem for Xbox users. It's a perfect example of games where it might make sense to download last gen version to save on fast storage.. which Series S does not have a lot

Both companies grasping at straws here.. not sure who looks sillier (and less honest) in the process.

It's well known that game development has some of the smartest people in software development, but also some of the worst practices and working patterns in any industry.
One can only imagine what could be produced with such brains and structure most already enjoy. Not surprised though, there was a reason Sony and Cerny specifically wanted to acquire Haven Studios people.

Artstyle is a step up compared to previous few unimaginative sequels. I just hope it also plays well.

HZD is still one of the better looking games out there. What would even be significantly improved in this remaster?
Ain't paying for it (and I'm admittedly a huge fan of the games).

Personally, I would give it 8/10 too. Didn't really click with me, but quality is undeniable. (played it on GP)

Great game, always felt it didn't get it's fair shoot on PS5 during launch. If anything, I feel it would review better today.
I hope PC and deck owners give it some much deserved love.

Recently played through Man of Medan and Little Hope on PS5, so the update won't impact me immediately. But I'm planning on getting the inevitable Session pack and replaying through all 4 games.

It's probably gonna be another win for them. Great team. Also, and I know this is not the correct site, kudos to them for doing a Switch port.

I'm ok with owning my big games. Also, full transparency, I have been utterly disappointed by the quality of AAA games that were day 1 on GP. I don't want that for PS Plus as a service, nor am I willing to pay 15$ a month for it (once my casually stacked 3 years for dimes runs out).

@sword_9mm people seem to forget for some these games originally ran at 50Hz, and that is how they remember them.
Keeping an option to provide original experience, or superior variant, beats just offering 60Hz.

Awesome news, would be great if it becomes standard. Not playing a lot of retro games myself, but this puts the biggest gripe people had with PS implementation to rest.

Seems like a good idea to me. I have friends that initially opted for digital version but would like to upgrade now.
