I’ll be honest, I can’t remember 😂 it was either at launch, or very soon after. I would have been in my mid-20s. I was always a sucker for racing games, so games like Ridge racer and Wipeout were a dream for me. The game changer though was Gran Turismo - when that came along I was like WOW!
It makes sense. Physical sales are continually going down, and the PS6 is still a few years away yet. Currently I’d say my purchases are around 70% digital, with a lot of that coming from sales. At least Sony are giving us the option, otherwise there’d be uproar.
Someone on social media said that Rockstar always delay their games twice. We’ve had one delay, so wouldn’t be at all surprised if it gets delayed to Sep/Oct 2026.
@Elodin yes it can totally be played solo - that’s what I did. Saying that, you will see other players running around, especially in town areas, but I simply ignored them 😂 the map is pretty big and there’s plenty to do. My only gripe was that you can unlock special skills for in combat, but they always felt underwhelming to me. They may have improved them by now though, as the game was - and probably still is - getting updated regularly. I actually bought the game outright and thought it was money well spent, so to play it for free on PS+ extra is a complete no-brainer.
Only played around 16-17 hours, so have a long way to go yet. Saying that, I loved the first game and so far DS2 does everything better, so with that in mind I’ve given it a 9/10. This could easily become 10/10 though as I get deeper into the game. Just taking my sweet time with it.
I’ve been a PS+ subscriber since its inception. I would definitely say there’s room for improvement. For the last 2 years I’ve been on the “premium” tier, but literally just last weekend my annual renewal was due, and I decided to drop down to “essential”. Now my PS+ homepage is plastered with ads asking me to upgrade 😂
I loaded the game up over the weekend, just to play around in the open world in anticipation of this forthcoming update. Hopefully it won’t be delayed too long. I’m dying to know what’s in it though 🤔
I’m glad cargo deliveries are still the main focal point of the game. This was easily my favourite part of the first game - navigating desolate environments and reaching your destination never felt so rewarding. I was worried this sequel would place more emphasis on combat. Can’t wait to play this!
I have Premium but it’s runs out the end of this month. Have to admit that the games aren’t really worth the Premium price, but I often try out game trials, so not sure whether to renew or not 🤔 it’s very anti-consumer for Sony to lock trials behind the most expensive PS+ tier, but I guess they need another reason to justify the price 🙄
It’s a great game and I’ve completed it twice, but once you’ve finished the campaign there really isn’t a lot to do. It would be great if they can find a way to include an endgame of some kind. As it stands there’s not even NG+ 🙁
I wouldn't be surprised if this actually happens now, as Rockstar try to appease people after the new delay to GTA 6. Also wouldn’t be surprised if, like the GTA 6 trailer 2, they shadow drop it.
So if your TV doesn’t support 120hz, and you’re playing on base PS5 in performance mode - you’re better off with the BC PS4 version over the PS5 remaster? 🤔
Basically it wasn’t working. Every time I held down the button to activate it, it would turn straight off again. I was going to try restarting the game but never got around to it. I’m away for a few days now, but will try again when I get back.
Normally I’d be bothered, but there are so many big games coming out this year that I don’t actually mind. Not only does it give Rockstar more time to polish the game, but we the players have more time to play all these other games. Win win 😀
Will definitely give the demo a go. I just bought Entropy survivors in a sale, which is pretty good. The one I’m waiting for though is Yet another Zombie survivors which has a great demo.
I’m still playing and enjoying the game, with around 50 hours under my belt. However, because of the way the game is structured I have no idea how far into it I am 😂
Ngl, I bounced off this quite hard when I first played it. Everything just seems to take so long. I should give it another go really, but there are just so many other games coming out this year. Kudos to Larian though, it’s always good to see devs show such excellent post launch support.
It’s a shame some people decided to rate/rank Unity on its launch state, rather than its final state after numerous updates. I think the game holds up really well, and I’m still hoping for PS5 60fps patch with a resolution bump. I think my favourite AC game is probably Odyssey or Black Flag, though always had a soft spot for Syndicate too as I loved having Victorian London as a playground (I’m English and live in London, so that may have something to do with it 😂).
I have a Nintendo Switch but only buy the occasional game, usually big releases like Mario or Zelda, or (timed) exclusives like Hades. My main consoles are PS5 and Series X. I was all prepared to preorder S2, until I saw the price of games. What’s worse is that this will no doubt open the doors to Sony and Microsoft charging more for their games, especially considering they are running on more powerful hardware than S2. Damn you Nintendo!
The big difference is most PlayStation and Xbox games always start coming in price just months, or even weeks, after they release. Nintendo games rarely come down in price, even years after release.
@KundaliniRising333 Syndicate got a 60fps patch and resolution bump on PS5 - it plays and looks great! Victorian London never looked better. Hope they do the same for Unity.
The first few hours I found a little boring, then it started to grow on me, then it just “clicked”, and now I love it 😂 easy 9/10 from me. It looks gorgeous (playing on base PS5), great combat, love the seasons, and plenty of great skills to unlock. It’s not perfect though - I personally think that it can be a little too dark at night, particularly when in a building. Sometimes the camera can be annoying, especially when fighting multiple enemies in an enclosed space, like indoors. Also, an option to fast forward time - day to night and vice versa - would have been nice. Otherwise, I’m having a great time.

It’s a pretty good selection, but the ones I would have been interested in I’ve already played - Cyberpunk, Banishers and New World Aeternum.
