I’ll be there for this day one. I have two Portals and I love them. I use it nearly every day.

I platinum’d this game last night and really enjoyed it! So fun and fluid. I’m definitely going to be watching this tournament! Thanks for the heads up!

Final Fantasy VII: Renew or Recreate

Definitely some more Elden Ring. Playing solely with a buddy after finishing the Lords of The Fallen reboot in co op. Couldn’t get into Elden Ring playin it solo but I’m liking having a buddy. Hopefully the next From game has seamless co op. When I’m solo I’ll probably continue working on the Tekken 8 platinum and continue my playthrough of Alan Wake 2.

@OldGamer999 probably my favorite Far Cry ever. Such an underrated game! And one of the only high budget games where you play as a caveman. Such an untapped setting for gaming. I’d love to see a sequel with more intense horror elements and linearity. My dream sequel to that game would be a mix between Far Cry Primal and Resident Evil 7. Make the wilderness scary as hell like it probably was for them back then.

This is wishful thinking but maybe they are updating the service so we can stream the PS3 catalogue of games directly to the PS Portal! I’d play so many more PS3 games that way. Probably just smoking some hopium though.

Hoping to finish up my co-op playthrough of Lords of the Fallen this weekend. Will also continue with Ghost of Yotei if I end up playing something by myself. So many games to play!

I’d heard of this game but knew nothing about it until reading this. Sounds a bit like Blue Prince.

Happy about AC: Mirage and Soul Calibur 3!! Every needs to try Granblue Fantasy Relink, it’s an underrated gem!

@ErrantRob Hodl!

Started my Yakuza journey last year and managed to complete Yakuza 0 through 6, Judgement, and Ishin! It was actually Yakuza 7 on Ps plus that got me interested. I was blown away by the story so I put it down and started with Yakuza Kiwami. I still haven’t finished 7 as I don’t enjoy the turn based combat, but I’m currently playing through Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise and loving it.

Kind of an odd thing to do but no worries for me as I’ve got the physical copy. Still need to grab Yakuza Kiwami 1 physically though before that gets delisted as well.

I’m ecstatic. It’s nice to see the best Rockstar game finally coming to PS5. I’ve been itching to replay this game for months. Haven’t played it since release. I hope it gets a physical PS5 release even still because I want it for my collection and have many other games I’m currently working on.

Like everyone else here I’m excited for more than half of these games! Hoping I can get to all of them before they leave the service at a random inopportune time!

Ive loved the Ratchet and Clank series since was a kid so I’ll definitely be getting this! Don’t love the art style change but the gameplay looks frantic and fun! It’s hard to get me to play mobile games but with a controller they aren’t too bad.

I imagine a small portion of these votes are from people who haven’t even played Yotei

@Arybella I love it! Used it nearly daily for over a year now and no complaints at all with the device.

Going to pick it up on a sale because of my crazy long backlog, but I’m excited to play it! Looks interesting and the animation is very nice.

@Toot1st I use my portal daily but I’m nearly blind without my scleral lenses which are a special contact lens that give me 20/20 vision I can only wear 8 hours a day. The portal allows me to see my games due to being able to bring the screen closer than my tv. I mostly game without my lenses at night and the Portal is essential for being able to enjoy my games. I was building quite a large Switch collection before I got a Portal. A lot of people don’t realize the varied reasons to use one. But that is the main reason I use mine on a regular basis. I also have chunks of downtime at work where I am able to play my Portal at my desk and it’s a fantastic feeling playing video games at work

@Arybella for $200 it’s the best gaming purchase I’ve made in years. I also own two of them if that helps.

I’ll be off most of the weekend hunting pheasants with my German short haired pointer, but managed to squeeze in a little bit of Vanquish last night. Ended up completing Act 2. What a fun game! Such a unique experience from Platinum Games. Surprised I missed this back on the PS3. Thank God for the remaster though!

Was hopeful for this game did well! Bought it day one to support the devs doing single player linear story games that respect your time. Glad it paid off for them! Excited for more Mafia games! Such a great series!

A 9/10 is fair but I think this one deserves ever so rare 10/10. I don’t see a flaw big enough to knock it down at all. Pure joy and excitement in this game from a primarily single player gamer for the last few years.

@get2sammyb I was one of those people that thought it wouldn’t work well when I first initially saw it but since getting it over a year ago it’s been a device I use daily and is one of my favorite gaming devices ever.

The only thing keeping me paying for PS Premium is the PS Portal streaming straight from the service beta. I use it often and am a huge fan of it. I do think it is overpriced though.

I feel like this fact is a no-brainer and common sense. People like shiny new things that remind them of their favorite past games. It makes so much more sense to invest a little bit more and make the old thing new again. People have a hard time adapting backwards, but nostalgia is such a strong emotion that can easily be leveraged for lots of moneys.

@Gaia093 was about to comment this exactly haha

Redownloaded Fortnite for this after about a year and the map is amazingly well done! The players are sweaty as ever and sad to see my big team respawn battle mode is no where to be found. Don’t know if I’ll play this one much, but was nice to try out.

I don’t love when PS Extra games become PS Essential games. Find it kind of a slap in the face to those of us who have the higher tiers. That being said, didn’t care to play Stray then and may try it now but probably won’t.

Impulse bought this last night after hearing so many good things. Just played the tutorial and like it so far. Been wanting some more good quality third person shooters lately so hopefully this scratches that itch.

This is awesome! I use my Portal almost everyday and I do like streaming games directly to it via PS Premium. This would just increase my love of the device!

My brother and I purchased tickets for the February show in Seattle. Hoping that doesn’t get cancelled if it hasn’t already. Are people getting refunds at least?

@MrPeanutbutterz People have fun in different ways. There’s something satisfying about completing a trophy list for me and many others, no matter how hard or difficult.

2 of my rarest platinum trophies are Mortal Kombat 11 and Injustice 2. Not hard platinums but very time consuming. This game’s platinum will be right at home next to those.

This is great to hear! Was planning on picking up the disc for this at launch and now I’ve got even more motivation to get my moneys worth out of the title!

Soul Calibur is my favorite fighting game franchise and this is one that I never got to play! So hyped for this. Now we just need Soul Calibur 2 and 4 brought over too!

@ShogunRok bummer, thanks for the insight though! And great review as always. Will still give it a go

@twitchtvpat haha yeah it’s not going to keep me from playing it. I loved the arcade version as a kid.

What are the odds they had trophies to this game? I want to play and experience it but itd be nice to pop some trophies along the way. Also, do you know if it will auto pop trophies later if i play now and complete their objectives prior to them being added? @ShogunRok

@Nepp67 lol literally same thought

Wow, I still remember the very first WAYP 10 years ago! Crazy how time flies. I love this website and visit it multiple times a day. It’s great for people who don’t use social media imo. Thanks for the memories and consistency, Push Square staff! As for what I’m playing I’ll be out of town this weekend. I finished up my replay of Uncharted: Golden Abyss on the plane last night. Not sure what I will play on the way back though. Probably going to play some games I just recently picked up: Doom (2016) on Switch and/or Sword Art Online: Lost Song on Vita.

I would watch this day one if it had Michael Ironside voicing Sam. Will wait to see how it is now though before watching.

They say they’re “drenched in work” maybe they are heading to Seattle for the next game. It’s not too far from HELL-A

@Max_the_German I like the look of it too much and I have little toddlers that would break it quickly if it was being used regularly. Trying to preserve it as long as possible.

I have the first one and have yet to open it. I think I’ll do the same with this one. Nice collector’s controllers.

I loved the word ‘abilitease’. Brilliant. This review definitely makes me want to watch the anime. I tried the demo and it reminded me I’m not a fan of side scrollers but the cut scenes are terrific. Going to try and track down where to watch the show now.

I’m only halfway through the game and I’d give it a solid 7 at this point. So many positives to this game that are slightly overshadowed by the repetitive gameplay structure and layout. I don’t play Mafia games for the stealth. I think the game has leaned too heavily into that aspect and the realistically janky guns don’t help the game much either.

This game looks perfect for my kids and I. They already love the Hot Wheels game and this looks similar but with more chaos. Excited for this.

Am I tripping or is that Ben Starr in the promo image ?

@SterlingEyes RGG knows how to make a damn good game. Also, Troy Baker and Travis Willingham are great in it.

Hoping to finish up Robocop: Rogue City next week so I’ll be playing that as much as I can this weekend, which won’t be much. Loving the feel and atmosphere of this game a lot.
