Astro Bot, obviously. But I'm intrigued about Path of Exile 2 as well!

@Bingbongboyo @kendomustdie There are two versions of it, even!

For personal nostalgia reasons, I'd love it if the 🐎 turned out to be Stampede - but it's probably some horse racing game I never played

Still playing it regularly (co-op), still enjoying it!

They released the patch notes yesterday, but the patch itself isn't due until August 8th (as far as I know). They're giving more advance notice of the changes, this time.

@Necon If there was a problem, we must have missed it. Been playing nightmare dungeons all evening and didn't spot anything amiss.

@XenonKnight I'm playing a level 58 sorcerer. Some things are harder, some things are easier, but I'm still having fun!

@Shinnok789 Apparently the lower drop rate for cinders is a bug, and will be addressed in a hotfix.

I haven't played it nearly enough to give it a real rating yet. I'm loving playing it though, haven't had a chance to overdo it, so I'm always looking to the next time I can play

Diablo's the only couch co-op game my wife and I play together.

Started playing it last night, love it so far

@Shstrick They're tied to the seasons, which will be quarterly. (As far I know!)

Anyone know if this one has local co-op?

Have they got kick drums mapped to a drum you hit with a stick? That might drive me crazy.

I'm not short of games, I'm short of time to play games. Just the Essential tier for me.

Can't wait to get my paws on this!

I'm sad that the problem with new item indicators in the inventory remains a known issue rather than fixed. But they're motoring through these patches so I expect they'll get to it soon

Thanks for this - what a great recap, and just what I needed!

I never quite got round to buying and playing Lost Legacy, so I'm really pleased about this one - I'll be taking the £10 upgrade option, thank you very much

The only one I care about is Diablo, as Diablo 4 was one of the games we were most looking forward to. I'll be grumpy if that doesn't come to PS5, but I won't miss the rest.

I still think the deal is bad news though :/

As long as the game needs to be.

Uncharted upgrade option for me, I hope (as I've never played Lost Legacy), then Horizon.

As others have said, this was was brilliant AND it will really stick with me. Easily my game of the year.

That looks great! Hopefully it will turn out well

Insisting on 5 answers is a pain - I haven't actually played 5 games in that list No vote for me, then.

Returnal, by far.

Difficult after that; I voted for Astro's Playroom and Spiderman Remastered (never played it on PS4), although Valhalla was in with a shout too.

I'd have voted for No Man's Sky if it had been in the list!

Patch notes and backing up save data, for me.

Other than that, I'm fairly happy with it as it is, for now!

#FirstWorldProblems

Great to see more of this. Cats are the best, it looks brilliant & I can't wait

This is great news! Returnal is by far my favourite PS5 game so far.

It's great to see Returnal has done so well. Game of the year for me, and my favourite PS5 game so far.

Looks pretty cool!

The music in the trailer is recognisably by 65daysofstatic too, who also did the soundtrack for No Man's Sky.

@get2sammyb @godofwarj5 @JapaneseSonic Thanks for the advice, it's appreciated

@get2sammyb I've - somehow - never played a Ratchet and Clank game before. Is this a good place to dive in to the series, or will I get more out of it if I play the PS4 game first? (Thinking about some of the clones, etc.)

@Stuffgamer1 I'm pretty sure the recent-ish firmware update changed the feedback you get in ps4 games, and perhaps uses more battery there.

I'll mostly be spending the weekend getting my arse kicked by Returnal, which is still great. Enjoying exploring new areas I got to recently, and working on unlocking more weapon traits.

Besides that, a weekly dose of Rock Band Rivals and maybe a little No Man's Sky.

I "completed" this back when it first came out. Revisited it after getting a PS5, and it's practically a different game now - they've changed and it extended it so much. I've played nearly 200 hours of it since then, and I'm looking forward to seeing these new visual enhancements

What sort of sad sackboy would you need to be to do something like this? :/

@Xenomorph_79 "especially a new IP"

I'd much rather support a new IP than yet another sequel (much as I've enjoyed lots of them).

@Nintendo4Sonic @Daleaf I'm in the same boat - stuck on biome 3, haven't reached the boss yet. Still enjoying the game, it's a blast, but trying to improve how I play

@RubyCarbuncle Sorry to hear that.

@RubyCarbuncle 42? Youngster

@RubyCarbuncle To some degree I think it's more that people who have played the game can see that it's not quite as much of a problem as it seems to those who haven't.

I'd still like them to add it, and it sounds like they will, but I can understand why it's at least a little tricky.

I'd like to be able to "check for updates" on installed games that are in the library section, not in the short list of most recently played games.

Man, I hope this is less buggy than the Yule festival stuff!

Wow. That's the best monthly PS+ line-up I can remember!

I'm really glad I was able to get a PS5, and I've mostly been playing PS5 games on it - Astro, AC Valhalla, Spider-man remastered, No Man's Sky.

Yes, some of those are games I could play on PS4 too but they wouldn't look or feel as good to play.

I wasn't fussed about backwards compatibility (I still have my PS4), but I've been playing some new-to-me PS4 games as well - Pacer and Fuser - so I've been glad for it, making those games accessible on the same snappier system.

Stray, for me! But I'm also looking forward to Kena.

I think the poll's really tough to answer when we don't know the scale of the game (do we?).

@thedevilsjester Well, it depends what bothers you. You can transfer over to the PS5 version of the game and continue where you left off, including saved games and trophies, so that's a good thing at least.

@thedevilsjester No, if you transfer your save it'll give you the ps5 equivalent trophies too.
