Not big on co-op games. Wish it had AI teammates like the first one did.

I haven’t even finished the first game. It just honestly is filled with so much….well, filler. Hope to the next one is both meatier and more streamlined of unnecessary stuff.

Honestly this just seems like a F2P game they threw a price tag on so they can say they’re giving it away with PS Plus. Not gonna bother with it.

Can’t seem to find it on PSN to download yet

Will say that Death Stranding looks better than the first game, which I honestly did not love like some did.

It was good but not much new…

Sadly still no sale on Star Ocean Second Story R. Come on Square!

It’s a shame most of the original developers of Burnout games are now Three Fields Entertainment. If they are going to make a new Burnout game, they should enlist them as part of the development team!

Love this game and it’s awesome at 60 FPS on Series X. So would be great if it got an official update for PlayStation as well.

Thought it was kind of weird that Push Square was doing a story on this since it sounds like they’re working with Xbox Studios on a new game. But then the article conveniently left out that part, lol.

Started it and honestly can hardly tell the difference with the upgrade. Could just be the section I’m on. That said, the loading times are much better and the $10 was well spent for that alone.

Still no discount on Star Ocean Second Story R. Me sad.

I don’t know. I started out liking Helldivers but quickly fell off. Maybe this one will change my mind.

When I saw the headline I got excited thinking it might be a trio of 9s from this website group (PX and NL both gave 9s). But 8 is a good score nonetheless. Really excited for this one!

Had held off on Tiny Tina so there’s that at least. Otherwise not doing much for me.

Should be way higher on the list. By far my GoTY.

Alan Wake 2. Not only the best looking but most creative and all-around GoTY for me with quite a distance between it and second place.

Played two of the three on GamePass and actually bought Evil West (which is okay but not great). But the other two are well worth checking out!

Alan Wake 2 blew me away too. Such an amazing game. Not only my GoTY but one of my favorite games of all time.

Played it on GamePass at launch but don’t miss Tinykin. It’s a fantastic Pikmin type game.

Not much for me this month. Win some and lose some I guess.

Guess it’s still too early for a Star Ocean Second Story R sale.

To me it has to be about the brand. Sony put out one game this year and there’s little known about what’s coming. People are likely buying the system to play their favorite multiplatform games like CoD on a system they know. Because Sony frankly didn’t have a great year. Just one first party title and nothing announced for 2024.

I’m honestly shocked because as a PlayStation owner myself I haven’t felt good about where PS is going for a while. Focus on GaaS and next to zero communication about first party. I literally have nothing to be excited for.

So this means Microsoft doesn’t have the same policy? If so, then it really is something Sony should consider dropping.

@CielloArc They were so ashamed of Hi-Fi Rush that they stealth dropped it?!? Sure, that’s why it’s one of the most highly rated games of the year. It has an 89 on OpenCritic.

Just because almost every comment is ragging on Xbox. I will just say I love my Series X. There are plenty of great games on it. I personally love Starfield, Forza Horizon 5, Hi-Fi Rush, etc. To say it has no games is incredibly disingenuous, but this is a PlayStation site so what can you expect.

I also love my PlayStation 5 too but the amount of negativity towards Xbox on this site is out of hand. I do play my Series X more just because of all the day one releases on GamePass.

I’ll be trying Gollum for a few laughs.

Really, really want Alan Wake 2 to win because it’s just phenomenal. But as many others have said, BG3 will likely win.

For anyone thinking of getting Immortals of Aveum, if you download the trial, it allows you to buy the Deluxe edition for $36 (only clicking a link in the trial). Only $1 more than the regular version that’s on sale for $34.99.

Also on sale for $34.99. Was thinking of picking it up!

@Cherip-the-Ripper It’s had some bad months but this one definitely wasn’t one of them, for me at least.

@Cherip-the-Ripper Why are you comparing the full month PS Plus lineup to half of a month of GamePass? GP got 12 games total this month including Dungeons 4, Like a Dragon: The Man Who Erased His Name, Persona 5 Tactica, Wild Hearts, Football Manager 2024, Rollerdrome, Dune Spicewars and some other well received day one indie releases. Compare the whole month if you’re going to compare.

For the record, I’d take just Dungeons 4, Like a Dragon and Tactica over the entire PS+ list.

Kind of funny how your group of sites all scored this differently. PS - 7, PX - 8, NL - 9. I’m excited to dig into this.

BG3 will win but Alan Wake 2 deserves to IMO. Such an incredible game with by far the most originality and big swings on the technical side of things that were knocked out of the park.

10! Amazing game and easily my GoTY in a year of fantastic games. Blew my expectations out of the water.

Where’s Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name?!? That’s my most anticipated game over the next two months.

Yeah, the lack of Movies Anywhere makes it a hard no to buy anything on PlayStation. Come on Sony. Even Microsoft participates in MA!

Sounds fun! Will definitely check this out on GamePass.

Kept having trouble getting away from this game over the weekend. Soooooooo good. Easily my GoTY so far. Nothing, even BG3, comes close IMO. So well designed and unlike anything before.

That perfect 10 score here was spot on! This is how you raise the bar, not only for a sequel but for next gen gaming.

Probably should have mentioned it’s Nightdive doing this remaster. That alone makes it legit worth looking forward to.

Should have included the option “No, I’m just going to play the HD Collection”.

Pretty low on my list right now. I haven’t even finished the first one - started to get bored with the story and repetitiveness. This has been the year of the RPG for me with BG3, FF 16, Sea of Stars, Chained Echoes and Starfield. Add Super Mario Wonder, ToTK and Diablo 3 as well as a few surprises like Lies of P, Hi-Fi Rush and Cocoon and that’s pretty much my year in gaming.

But it’s all about SM Wonder this weekend!

Good for Sony (though it’s Super Mario Bros. Wonder that I’ll be buying and playing today).

@Sakai Ubisoft+ is also available on Xbox. But it’s a joke at $17.99 a month. Even if it includes newer games, Ubisoft game prices drop like a rock.

Have a feeling Baldur’s Gate 3 (96 with 131 total reviews on OpenCritic) or Tears of the Kingdom (96 reviews with 151 reviews on OpenCritic) will be taking home most GoTY prizes, but this will probably at least be nominated.

Is the snow yellow?

Sony Core would have to join MA for me to even think about buying a movie through them.

More GamePass fodder. /s

Can’t wait to play this!!!

@Shigurui Thanks! I’ll redownload it to check out.
