Honestly, the leaks kinda felt like it ruined the surprise if I just watched this blind, but the new Shadow gameplay honestly won me over. It looks honestly fantastic. It looks like its taking the core of what makes Generations special, amazing fan service and level design, and mixing it with a more core level design of the pre-boost games and going so hard on the graphical style and animation that made some of Sonic Team's best moments their best for a reason. Can't wait to see more of this later this year

If this turns out to actually be a new Burnout game, this is gonna be one of my biggest "LETS FREAKING GOOOOOOOO" moments ever lmao

Yeah this is just kinda crummy, but lets face it a bet most big Persona fans, including fans complaining here, already pre-ordered the base game, or went and pre-ordered the deluxe edition, which these DLC's are most likely for anyways. Just another way to get some more money day one from mega fans

I think the level of games leaving this month goes to show how temporary these subscriptions are for playing these games, especially on PS Plus. Many of these games were only added a few months ago and they're already leaving, meaning you can only now play them by buying them. That is why owning your games is important. Both physically and digitally

@themightyant No almost all games can be put into a console that has never even touched an internet connection and will still play perfectly fine. Playstation and Xbox games just need to install their data because of how large their file sizes are that they can't just be read off the disc. Switch doesn't even need to download anything because of the cartridge format so if everything's complete right there, it just starts asap

Looks like I'm not missing much for my first time missing a PS Plus Extra drop since my subscription expires next week. And who in the world is picking the Premium games? Like all of the PS4 titles there this month are good but its not that special. And now we only have two PS1 games, that aren't even that interesting. What a way to start off the month

Honestly, of Sony actually had the balls to revive Patapon and try to evolve it into something beyond the original 3 games, I would buy that in a heartbeat. Hell I would say it would be a more captivating exclusive for the PS5 personally than most of the games they've put out so far. I know that it is wishful thinking, especially with the fact that original heads of the series are now working on Ratatan, but Sony putting a new spin on the series and making it more 3D would be something I would get so hyped for

@LifeGirl I haven't ever watched or read HunterxHunter but the way you make it sound makes it sound like it could be an actually cool mechanic for a fighter! Having a very powerful central mechanic that also leads to big risk reward situations makes it sound like its perfect for something like this

@Lyedecker Nah its actually a 2D fighter. Eighting basically only makes 2D fighters and its bound to be a tag game.

@FullMetalWesker Yeah I guess that's true on both fronts. I guess I am kinda biased since I've been stanning this game ever since release and even got even more of my friends into fighters because of this game and how fun it is to play (only game I think I put 100+ hours into this year lmao) but hey, at least the staff of Push Square did enjoy it as much as I did

@jedinite I mean the fact you just say its just "more of the same" just kinda shows that you don't really learn them that much either. Like all of the new mechanics every SF adds makes each game pretty different from the last, especially in SF6's case. Also no disrespect to what type of fighters you enjoy and Super Turbo, but its so old and archaic compared to so many modern fighters that its crazy how people think the series's peak was just 4 years after the series hit it big, especially compared to all fo the following final versions of following SF games, and especially in comparison to just the current version of SF6

Wow, I guess the Push Square audience somehow didn't care much for SF6. But hey I guess most people don't want to bother learning them so I guess that's how people say Hogwarts Legacy is better 🤡. At least its cool to see Sea of Stars get the Number 10 spot! Didn't expect that to make it into the top 10 here

Plague Tale and Evil West aren't really my total style but I know they're both quality and I have been somewhat interested in Nobody Saves the World so not the craziest month for me personally, but I am willing to check these out

Man this game just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I still gotta plat Like A Dragon because it was free for a month for PS Plus but I haven't started it yet. Definitely gotta get around to that so I can also get my way to this game as well

@Deadlyblack There's actually a free version of the game you can download and just try out if you're curious! Has almost full online play and everything available for you to test out how you enjoy the game!

@Cloud7794 Oh yeah I guess that's true, but its definitely not as major of a crossover as this is, since BBTAG is already a crossover game and its not as unexpected as this

This is crazy big. This is arguably the first ever crossover character for an anime fighter by ArcSys and god damn this is a crazy one. Still have yet to play Automata but this is a really cool get for Granblue. I bet this will help the game out a lot

The evil has been defeated

I can't believe Chun-Li gets on here because of Fortnite and is labeled under Fortnite. I worry if most people just know her now as "the kung-fu lady from Fortnite"

I feel like the negative of "a rerelease with paid dlc" is weird because Rising is very much its own new game. Like is it a big step up from the original on a presentation sense, nah its definitely still much of the same, but the content and battle mechanics here is very much its own thing while also kinda replacing the original. Its kind of like the BlazBlue games where every new game was a sequel, but reused assets and tweaked battle mechanics in order to change the game a lot, so I think that point is kinda middle of the road for me, but that's very much cherry picking. I'm very excited to try out the game with the free version and eventually get the paid version. Easily is looking to be one of the most content rich fighters out there right now

Extra is really great this month! Mega Man 11, Tinykin, Prodeus, Metal Hellsinger, and Stranger of Paradise are all ones I've been wanting to play so I'll definitely try and make the most of it before my subscription expires next month

Fortnite, SF6, and Rocket League are my top 3. No surprises. My brother grinds Fortnite a lot, I played so much SF6, and Rocket League is the only game my dad will willing to play by himself, so everything adds up perfectly

Good bye, and good riddance E3

This is cool to see! I'm still praying for A.B.A., or maybe a completely new character

@DennisReynolds Apparently the Ultimate Season Pass just has the costumes for the DLC characters, whose 3rd costumes aren't releasing until next year.

This is not new. Capcom did the same thing in SF5, a game that was also $60 on launch and was much less deserving of these prices for extra costumes, which 3 bucks alone isn't that bad personally for how meticulous and awesome all of the costumes look. Does it suck that you do have to buy all the costumes, yes, but it's not bad at all considering this is what Capcom has been doing with SF costumes, and will keep doing. This is not $15 Ninja Turtles Avatar Costume situation. And its also kinda insane that people just don't expect this now. Does it suck that the industry has such a heavy focus on monetization now? Yes. But this is expected. And companies will not stop doing it until the only thing that matters, money from these purchases, isn't high enough from a casual consumer base (the people who the companies care about) to change anything. I might pick up a few costumes myself whenever I get the chance because if I spend $10 for some fighter coins and get 3 costumes for characters I really like, that's all I'll need

Honestly, quite a decent list. I've been wanting to try out Lego 2K Drive and PowerWash Simulator for a while now so those are definitely ones I'll play, and I don't have a PS5 yet but Sable looks very pretty so I'll make sure to claim it on the store website. Quite happy with this month after the past few have been pretty lackluster for me

Not really wanting any physical games, sure I'm ok with that, especially considering both PS and Xbox have digital only options, my main thing is with asking for digital currencies. Like subscriptions, sure PS Plus and Game Pass are awesome gifts, my uncle even got me PS Plus one year for Christmas, but idk man digital currencies feel like the saddest thing to get on Christmas because it just feels so disposable. Like getting PS Plus or Game Pass, while not giving you access to one individual game, at least opens you up to 100's of games you might be willing to try. Digital currency is just so disposable because that currency isn't owning an experience or a ticket to rent/check out many different experiences, it's just another way to have kids addicted to the skinner boxes most of the popular games have been dedicating towards to maximize profit. Plus getting an actual physical game is so much cooler to unwrap and see then just a gift card imo

I recommend checking out Caladrius Blaze. It's a really fun shooter that has some very captivating gameplay

@LowDefAl Agreed, especially since people can just buy the classic games without Premium (which is what I'm doing) and I think Grandia and Jet Moto are really cool games to have come back so I would say it's a really good month on that side

Man, for an $80 purchase, this seems like an amazing deal with tons of awesome stuff. When most companies want you to buy a $100+ deluxe edition with just the dlc season pass while this is giving the goodies that would only be in the most expensive of expensive collectors editions, this is an awesome thing that Larian is doing. They seem to just be hitting the right notes constantly recently

This is a pretty good line up for the month! Nothing too crazy for Extra but almost all of the games I wanna check out. Same for the Premium selection. Up is the only fully new title that feels a little weird but Grandia and Jet Moto are awesome inclusions

This is why this keeps happening, the general public just likes to endlessly consume slop until the end of time

@Funnydoode91 Dude the english dub isn't even in the game yet. Plus the English VA is just an option. No one is forcing you if you don't want to

Yong's voice definitely sticks out but that's most likely because I've just listened to his voice so much throughout the years. I haven't honestly played any of the main Like A Dragon games, only the Judgement series, and I played those with English VA so I shouldn't be too bothered with Gaiden as my first main game lol

Man, this ridiculous amount of success definitely won't lead to other companies trying to do cash grab last gambit nostalgia bait tactics to try and pump up increased short term growth and not end up leading to more live-service slop games and tactics for many more years to come and causing over expansion when down turns hit to have people lose their jobs, right? Right?

This is really gonna be a month where the third game carries this month or makes it a nothing burger of a month

Sucks to see that this sequel have a decent few glitches and problems. This is one of the few next-gen only titles that made me want to jump in as I recently played Ghostrunner a few months back from PS Plus Extra and had a really good time with it after wanting to play it for the longest time. Hopefully by the time I do get a next-gen console that the frame rate and bugs get fixed a bit

I had a feeling it was gonna already gonna be big when they announced this and everyone said it probably gonna be that big.
Who's laughing now I guess

I would take the Street Fighter 6 W here already, but I gotta give a bigger W to Tetris Effect taking a top 3 spot. That's the power of how great Tetris Effect is

Eh, I personally not someone who plays lots of Co-Op games so I won't probably be bothered much by the problems it has, so this probably just means that we got another really solid 2d Sonic. Still got a big backlog of games I gotta get through so I won't be picking this up right away but I will definitely check it out later, probably on sale

This actually kinda makes sense. My local Best Buy's physical selection is poultry compared to any other stores nearby. They definitely haven't seen big sales from physical media so it's easy to stop ordering new shipments and start letting it languish, but its still sad none the less

@supergurr Yeah I guess that's fair. I know many titles aren't what most people want, but lets face that kinda is most of Sony's line-up of first party titles until maybe the PS3's latter years. Most of the PS1 games you mention here are already on Playstation in their own game that the currents owners would want you to buy more like Tomb Raider, Spyro, Metal Gear, and Final Fantasy, or are impossible to bring over due to current licencing issues like Gran Turismo, Die Hard, and 007. The only you mentioned that could come over are the classic RE games but obviously Capcom doesn't want them on there that badly. I just think Sony has a harder time being able to channel across the board nostalgia for their classic titles compared to Nintendo because most of the titles that were massive hits on Playstation, were third-party titles they have no control over or are limited to being relevant to specific ages of people who grew up with a specific Sony console

@supergurr Dude this is arguably one of the best selection of PS1 and PSP games we've had. The main problem is simply the rate they're coming out. I bet if there was one really good PS1 or PSP RPG here everyone would be going crazy. It's not like PS1 and PSP games are bad, plus if you already have Premium you might as well try them and make your investment worth it

Extra doesn't have much for me this month but Premium is actually really good this month. Idk why people are scoffing at these games like they're bad or not worth checking out, because I think all of these games are ones I would wanna play

Ok this is actually a neat value for PS Plus subscribers. It's not directly game related but it is a neat benefit

Ok now this cancellation is making much more sense. Like I think I was one of the few people interested in Hyenas, but this doesn't feel like it should be Sega's most expensive game ever. I would expect something like a new huge Sonic game or Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth to be their most costly titles, so I guess a cancellation here to avoid blowing even more money on it for super lacking returns makes sense

@Mauzuri I'm sorry to burst your bubble dude, but Crash Team Rumble is unfortunately a thing lol

I think people just still think 3D Sonic is just about holding up on the analog stick and holding a button, so I think people just don't know how to fully play Sonic

Finally, originality is finally returning to Playstation
