Riiiiiidge Racer!

Rest in peace.

Toem is delightful! Highly recommend playing through it if this is true, which it almost definitely is.

Sounds good to me. Can't wait to play this.

I played a demo of this on PS1 so many times! Hopefully I'll get to check this out soon.

@SkelitorVisari

This wasn't really on my radar at all but Sammy's enthusiasm for it has pretty much sold me!

@GoodGame To properly explain: You get Wonder Woman after completing the basic tutorials. The game gives you four other characters for free, and these will change over time (currently: Superman, Finn, Garnet, Reindog). So essentially you will always have access to five characters.

To unlock the remainder, you can earn in-game currency by just playing matches, which you then spend on characters. Earning these coins is a slow burn, but it's perfectly doable. Alternatively, you can unlock characters with a premium currency.

Rick is announced but has no release date, and is presumed to be arriving at some point during Season 1 This delay concerns Season 1 and Morty specifically.

@NeThZOR That's a great one! Hot Wheels Unleashed is well worth it for that price.

I have received only two accolades and given out zero 😅

@KidBoruto I presume co-op is optional

@IonMagi I imagine you would have to have bought it, yeah.

Nice. I hope the gamelists can appear on the home screen, I feel like them being tucked away in the library would be slightly self-defeating, but that's just me.

@Ravix Mix of both! A good selection from what I recall, and many of the classics are there.

Story updated, it's confirmed

@AdamNovice Definitely agree the gold rewards are too small.

@AdamNovice I just logged in to check this as I thought there’s no way they’d lock out characters you’ve already progressed. Turns out I was wrong! How frustrating!

Edit: On reflection I do understand the decision - if they kept the original free characters unlocked then players wouldn’t have to engage with Gold or Gleamium, they could just wait long enough and all the characters would eventually be playable. Still, it feels kinda nasty to have something taken away from you. Very strange.

@rjejr We reviewed it on PS5 but it's on PS4 as well, yes. As far as I know, you can use PS4 controllers on PS5, but only to play PS4 games. So if you wanted to play MultiVersus on PS5 and use your DualShock 4s, you'd need to nab the PS4 version.

I'd say it's pretty easy to pick up and play for most people, controls are fairly simple (very similar to Smash) but there's plenty of depth too.

@tabris95 The sci-fi.

@Elodin Hope you enjoy!

@Relygon It's a pawssibility!

@Relygon I’ve just double checked, and you’re right - I could’ve sworn it had HDR support, but alas it does not! Apologies.

@daveofduncan There is not a photo mode, unfortunately.

@somnambulance Enjoy!

@thefourfoldroot1 That would've been excellent!

@frankmcma Runs at 4K 60fps, never noticed any drops from that. There are some amazing reflections in puddles etc. but I'm not sure whether that's ray tracing or some other technique. Supports HDR too. Visually the game is really nice, apart from some textures that look a little naff if you're too close.

Fire any questions my way!

Something I didn't get to in the review is DualSense stuff. It's actually pretty decent here — when you curl up and take a nap, the controller will purr, and vibrate to match. There's also good feedback on landing from jumps and that sort of thing. Not the greatest implementation but fairly high effort.

I'm going to have to play this. I'm not so keen on any horror elements but everything else seems so interesting.

@darkswabber F1 22 released on 1st July

@somnambulance

From what I've seen, the cards seem more just a way to present all the moves available to you rather than you actually building a deck. I don't think you're swapping cards in and out of a deck, I think each character has a moveset and you draw a hand from that pool at the start of each turn. Not sure if that's a useful distinction for anyone but I think the importance of the card aspect is generally being overstated.

Since writing this I’ve been playing it on a regular controller as I needed to pack the wheel away to save space, but I’m enjoying it a lot all the same. 🚗

Normally not really my cup of tea but I loved The Messenger so I’m down to give this a shot.

Hell yeah

@bindiana Hi! So your comment made me curious about those South Park games. I've made some changes and now Fractured But Whole has populated this list as it should! Stick of Truth is trickier, because the version you mention is actually the PS3 version; the PS4 version (the one on Plus) has zero user ratings!

As for the Yakuza games, they are indeed not on Plus anymore, and so aren't in this list.

Appreciate the feedback!

I have to admit I feel much the same way. I haven't finished Elden Ring, I'm maybe half-way through, if that. I can't quite recall what brick wall I came up against, but I realised that I just wasn't having fun anymore. The game had beaten it out of me. I think there are many things to commend about Elden Ring, but personally speaking, none of it is enough of a draw for me to see it through to the end.

@Milktastrophe Man of Medan's on Extra, so putting it on Essential gives it away to a lot more subscribers who are on the most basic plan. And based on what I played of Arcadegeddon a while ago, it'll be well worth a try.

@Rjak I think they've confirmed crossplay is coming at some point post-launch.

@Vovander There isn't really a tutorial, it's similar to the previous games. I will say that last year's story mode was a good in-road for new players, but that's not here this time.

@riceNpea Reviewed using a DualSense (the haptics and triggers implementation is fine but not mind-blowing, in case anyone is wondering). Totally hear you with regards to a wheel, though! We may have something on that front soon.

Updated!

Played some of this a while back, cool game. Would be nice to see it available on more platforms

@TowaHerschel7 If you’ve actually bought anything you will be able to keep it.

@Th3solution Nah.

@Titntin It is all a little messy right now, no question. I'm sure it'll settle into a groove once it's been going for a little while.

@Titntin If you just do a general search for it, you should find it. The various sections of the new Plus tiers are in a bit of disarray right now.

Edit: Read your comment properly! So aside from just doing a search, I've managed to find it. In the Games tab along the top, it then shows you every game on PS Plus, so sort by Z-A and then scroll down until you see it.

@xDD90x No use of haptics or adaptive triggers, I'm afraid!

@xDD90x I reviewed this natively on PS5. It's on both!

@Vix I don't think there are any alternate options on that front

@Mauzuri My thinking there is just it would be nice to have the option, as it's something you're able to do in older Sonic compilations (I believe). Not a huge negative either way!

@Sinton As far as I understand, Classic mode uses the same version of the game as the Anniversary mode, just modified to reflect the originals (4:3, no drop dash, limited lives etc).

@nomither6 It's out in a couple of days, on the 23rd!
