Jeez come on… I know we all really like PlayStation, but PS Plus is just a lousy, overpaid platform. They released it with some recent AAA games back then and since then it went downhill for the audience they seemed to target.

For the people that own a console with disc drive the math just doesn’t add up, unless you’re really into indie games. It’s so much cheaper to just buy, play and resell the games you really want to play. Plus, you’re playing them one or two years before they’re finally on the platform.

Terrible month once again. It just doesn’t do justice to the high prices.

This might be totally up my alley, definitely going to check this out!

@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy I’m not. They are articles made for the sponsors, not for the visitors of the site. I draw a line there.

@DrVenture69 Thanks! It seems like this may not be my game at all. I like exploring every inch of a map, playing with my builds etc. Not losing progress because I clicked one wrong button.

@DrVenture69 What’s the reason Sekiro isn’t for you? I’ve been thinking about that game for a long while after beating Elden Ring, Demon’s Souls remake and Lies of P. I’m afraid it’s just too difficult though, since you can’t buff your character if you’re stuck on a boss?

Wow, only two PushSquare editors contributing once again. Why don’t they all write a few lines?

Great list, thanks!

Painful to see how little is left of Extra, which once released with games such as Returnal and Demon’s Souls remake. There are hardly (or none?) recent AAA games on there anymore. It’s so much cheaper now to just buy the games you want to play and sell them afterwards.

Ah yes, this is giving me huge NieR: Automata vibes. Can’t wait to play!

@Dan12836666 Why do you think that? I can guarantee you that’s not true, since I actually find it amazing.

@Gr8VngnzN4esAngr Why? Best studio around.

I hate it when games are made into movies, but at least they hired one of the best directors around. Garland only made 9/10 movies so far, so my hopes are up.

One thing I always wondered, why are so little Pushsquare writers contributing to this item? You have a lot more than three editors right and they’re all addicted to gaming I assume?

Platinuming Elden Ring + DLC was quite an investment, so just doing some GT7 races currently. Perhaps I’ll start up Forspoken this week. Pretty sure it won’t be my game though but it’s been sitting in my backlog for too long now.

Sounds great! That’s the only complaint I had about Starfield on the Series X: the cheap clickclack controller took some of the magic away.

So old fillers once again. How surprising.

No, people suck.

I never had a problem with this on my base PS5, let alone on my PS5 Pro nowadays. I don’t think I’ll ever fill more than half of the internal storage. Having 3 to 4 games installed is more than enough.

It’s a lot, but I’d buy it in the blink of an eye. Even if I have to save for it for a few months it’s worth it, since I game quite a lot.

Hating my life while trying to beat Promised Consort Radahn 😭

Edit: Never mind. Changed my approach and blew him away without any trouble at all. Now only Bayle is left, plus a new game+ for the platinum trophy (final ending).

Edit 2: Platinumed Elden Ring and beat all the bosses in Shadow of the Erdtree!

I have a bad feeling about this. Seems like they’re killing everything that made Returnal one of the all time greats.

What? YOU’RE old!

@TheArt I just met Messmer. Didn’t like him.

Finished my second playthrough of Elden Ring, started Shadow of the Erdtree now for the first time. Nice to have a challenge again, after Elden Beast melted under my blasphemous blade.

That’s a shame. As article already explains you never start at zero in Returnal, there are pretty much always traits you upgrade/unlock between every run. Judging on this description Saros sounds more like a regular game with its upgrading mechanics.

Nevertheless I’m really looking forward to this. Returnal was easily my most fulfilling platinum trophy ever.

Still the nonsense Amazon links (I thought this was about a PS Store sale...?) and dividing the whole thing up in pages instead of giving a quick overview of the titles that are included. You're simply ignoring the repeated feedback of your visitors?

I don’t understand the hype. Once again (if this is true) they’re adding really old games.

PS Plus is so not worth the money, considering how cheap these games are physically and how you can resell them after playing.

Deep into my second Elden Ring run. Wielding a blasphemous blade this time plus mimic +10 - I feel so powerful right now!

I’m going to love it then!

Those are some pretty big cons for a “great” game…

I might subscribe for Extra for a month or two to cross of TLOU 2 Remastered, Silent Hill 2 Remake and SM2. Then again, I already found Miles Morales quite boring since it basically is the same game as SM1, so I hope SM2 offers something extra.

So this “news” is about the fact that they picked a name but haven’t shared it yet? My god…

I’ll immediately go to Amazon to order these 99+ games that are on sale in the PS Store.

Wow, never imagined a game ending up above GTA. Let alone a game I never even heard of.

Continuing Alan Wake Remastered, as the beginning of the full trilogy including Control dlc. Halfway through AW it’s both frustrating (old gameplay) and great (story, atmosphere).

Interesting lis! I agree on DS2, it’s almost perfect. On the other hand I know for sure now I won’t be playing GoY if it builds so strongly on GoT. I found that one dragging on too much after I while.

I really need to play Expedition 33 in the coming months by the way. It’s been in my backlog for over 6 months now. Plus side: I’ll probably play the best version of the game after several patches.

Just ended my gaming stop by starting Alan Wake Remastered (Control ultimate + AW2 after that). I have a love/hate relationship with it so far. I have lots of trouble surviving in normal difficulty, even though I finished games such as Bloodborne, Elden Ring and Returnal. There’s something about the shooting and ammo capacity that I can’t get my head around yet.

The atmosphere is amazing though!

Well, let’s say this isn’t the best article on Pushsquare. Luckily the overall quality of articles is good though.

Frankly I never bothered with loading screens. They’re not that long on Series X and probably faster on PS5. The whole feel of exploration is very much present for me.

@get2sammyb That’s why I said off topic 🙃 But thanks! Didn’t know this website has a forum.

Off topic: Does anyone know when we can expect the GT7 dlc review?

@themightyant Are you sure about that? I thought Elden Ring was almost flawless from day one.

Elden Ring should indeed be on here, Returnal as well. Ragnarok? I’d give it 6,5/10 at best.

Quite painful to read the description of Forspoken in a “best of” list. Frankly, if such a list needs clutter to be filled, PS Plus is just not a very good service in my opinion.

Still hope the game is better than this though. I picked up a physical copy for € 6 but haven’t played it yet.

@PerpetualBoredom That’s it? No explanation? Just a negative comment without any context and that’s it?

@Th3solution Yes, there’s Spa that gives you 1.5 mln for 60 minutes and Le Mans and another that give you roughly 800k for 25-30 minutes. This is including an almost unmissable clean race bonus.

@LiamCroft I did. Didn’t read like a “not bad” to me.

2 million credits is not even 90 minutes of playing for us players that have progressed past the campaign. Not a problem at all for me.

Whole review: this game is bad. Score: not bad.

Glad I could resell my VR2 for a decent price after I bought it cheap in last year’s days of play sale. It’s very cool technology, but I just didn’t really enjoy playing it. Quite a hassle to set up and clear out the room and for me it was too demanding to play for longer than an hour.
