Well-deserved success for an awesome studio!

Jedi Survivor is also a current PS+ Extra game.

@rusty82 Now that I did not know, but after your comment, I looked it up and the game was made by Starbreeze Studios who then turned into Hazelight.

@Perturbator
They have four if you count the remake of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. The original game can only be played solo while the remake is co-op.

A small correction to the poll:
I selected "I played both" referring to A Way Out and It Takes Two, but I also played Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons REMAKE, which reimagines the game as a co-op title (though you can still play it solo).

@Bunkerneath Yes. I have one that is fine.

I am very excited to play this with my daughter. Strangely, PSN is the only place you can't pre-order it.

Twisted Metal games were always battle royales, right?

Now this is an appealing price point.

Wow! I have Sonic Colors and the Cowabunga Collection already, but Dragon Age alone makes this month über!

This is a total shame. Monolith was a great studio.

@HonestHick, the word "honest" is in your name. It's long past time to be honest with yourself.

I would immediately buy this collection and play through all the games.

Just wait until the clown shoes U.S. administration's clown shoes tariffs!

The Warhammer 40K games they make give me a tentpole.

The game is quite good, but was screwed over by the fact reviews were done prior to the day one patch that addressed a lot of the technical issues. Such a shame.

This was my game of the show by a mile!

I am most pleased Helldivers 2 won four awards.

@mariomaster96 @ShogunRok

Well, there it is. I will give the series a shot, starting with Daybreak 1.

@ShogunRok

I recently gave Tales of Arise a shot on PS+ and ended up buying it and the expansion because I loved it so much. I've never played a Tales game before this. Also, I've never played a Trails game. I'm kinda wondering if I should give this game a whirl, or at least its predecessor. It seems like an interesting game. I'm sure the turn-based combat would be enjoyable for me, but maybe it would feel too slow after a while? Hmmm..

Basically, I am looking for more games like Tales of Arise, besides Final Fantasy, which I already played.

@Frmknst
Lies! I think the show was great and fun. Opinions and all that.

Tides of Annihilation looks exceptional! I'm most excited about that one!!!

This was the game of the show for me. It looks awesome!

This is perfectly timed. Tales of Arise is about to drop off PS+. My daughter wants to play it and I want to play the expansion and show the developers some support. What's that you say? Tales of Arise and its expansion are on sale today for their historically lowest price?! Perfection!!!

If it failed, it's because the series deviated so much from Dragon Age: Origins and the art style isn't where it should be. Additionally, Baldur's Gate 3 exists.

The reveal trailer for WiLD had me so intrigued! What a shame it never coalesced.

This is the first month in a very long time I've had no interest in any of the games. If my backlog were not astronomical and filled with so many great games, I would give High on Life a try, but time is limited and there are too many excellent games to play.

@Jswift56
"Ages"

Checks notes Astro Bot released five months ago. Lego Horizon Adventures released two months ago. Helldivers 2 released a year ago and is the goddamn gift that keeps on giving. Stellar Blade, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, too.

I have no idea what you mean.

@Shepherd_Tallon
That's my guess as well.

Too many people are confusing Forza Horizon with Forza Motorsport. This series, Horizon, is an arcade racer like The Crew series.

One main Xbox franchise down, two more to go. Of the three, Forza is definitely the least impactful, but I do think Halo and Gears will come, too.

I don't like this news because I'm sure Microsoft is licking their lips right now and I doubt the highly incompetent administration (term used very loosely) in the USA will do anything to stop Microsoft if they make moves.

@species
I certainly won't forget Westwood, nor forgive EA, but I'm not sure I can celebrate this.

The guy is a legend. What a shame.

I just started Tales of Arise, but I should be able to finish it before February 18th. I was actually surprised it was still available. By the time it leaves, it would have been on PS+ for basically a year.

What a question. By very definition, yes, they will be competing.

@rjejr
It took a long time for tax laws to catch up with online purchases. Now, you pay sales tax based on what you have as your address. Before, places like Amazon, Newegg, and PSN didn't charge sales tax because it was unclear how it would be handled and there was no laws around this in place.

@dBackLash
There is a other way, my friend!

I just started Tales of Arise, so I am glad that is not leaving just yet. It joined last February, so perhaps it will be leaving soon?

The Master Chief Collection is a great collection of actual Xbox games. I highly recommend checking it out if you have the opportunity to do so.

@sonicmeerkat
I sure hope not.

Sony really likes Horizon. Where's my Killzone movie?!

You love to see it.

It'll be nice to see if Sony expands their InZone lineup of headsets and monitors.

I'm holding out for Stellar Blade. I know I won't be able to play it any time soon as I am chipping away at a massive backlog, so by the time I buy it, it'll probably be around $20 (and in better shape than ever). That's one of the perks of having patience.

These weirdos should just be ignored, not engaged with and written about.

Whether these analysts are wrong or not, they are being very kind by not just saying Microsoft.

Arrowhead needs to stop bowing to the crazies. Sure, all the stuff should have been the price of a Warbond, not more, but giving half of it away for free in a game that has more than earned our money is not the right answer. Arrowhead keeps finding themselves in these situations because they keep letting the vocal players who complain about everything dictate what they do.

Perhaps it seems Kadakowa will be acquired piecemeal, millions of dollars worth of shares at a time.

@themightyant
Perfectly said. I have nothing to add.
