Mainly AC Shadows - and I really, really enjoy it! As been said, it looks amazing. The seasons are a fun addition as well. I've changed the settings so that quest markers arent added to the map automatically but I need to either use scouts or search myself, increasing the immersion. I prefer playing as Naoe, as Yasuke feels a bit to powerful but he has his uses sometimes, like storming a castle and wreaking havoc! I also really like to expand and build the hideout. I've spent some time making japanese gardens, very fun. Cant wait to play more!
Atomfall - I've played about an hour but it didnt really click for me. Might be because I just want to play Shadows instead, so I'll leave it for now but might go back to it in the future!
Assassins Creed: Shadows - Im around 4 hours in and so far this is really good. First off it looks amazing on the Pro, been switching between 40 fps and 60 fps and Im settling on the balanced mode of 40 fps. Last night as I was climbing a tower there was a thunderstorm, and I ended up just sitting there enjoying the show. Very beautiful game. I also tuned the hud, removing health bars on enemies for example which makes it a lot more immersive. Gameplay and combat is great, combat is a lot better than I expected as playing as a ninja really means you need to be sneaky most o the time as open conflict against several opponents (they´ll come running from the noice) often ends with me dead. Exploration is fun, but its been done before as it’s an AC game. Cant wait to play more, I love these kinds of games and this one is very good on top of that so Im probnably looking at 60-100 hours of pure fun here 😊
Dragon Age: The Veilguard - So I´ve practically only been playing Veilguard as there are games coming soon I want to play and didn’t want to be in the middle of this game. It’s a good looking game with a sense of being in a beautiful fantasy world, art direction is great, and combat is good enough and exploration, meaning finding hidden chests etc, is fun. I finished the story and got the “bad” ending since I focused on the main story and did little else. There are some things I wish were better though, the story could have been more “seamlessly” told and some of the dialogs (and topics in those) I wasn’t interested in felt forced on me. However, after having watched the other endings, I feel like the one I got made the most impact on me and sort of felt right given the game is about fighting really powerful gods. I mean how good can that end?
All in all I enjoyed the game more than I expected, and don’t regret not doing all the side stuff that would have given me a “good” ending and I don’t see myself going back and completing all the side quests and go for the platinum which I often do in games like this, I´ll just be satisfied with my playthrough and leave it at that as Im happy with the ending I got.
A bit of all of that 🤓 Played it on the series S and just focused on the story but want to play it again and do everything but get the best experience which should be the ps5 pro 🙂
Im double dipping on Indy at some point, not decided on FH5 yet as I kind of bounced off that on Xbox after having played FH4 quite a lot and its more of the same but not as good buit if you´re new to the series or just love that type of game you´re in for a treat!
Avowed - I’ve finished the main story and I feel done with the game. It was a fun game once I started playing it for what it is and not what I wanted it to be. Looks good, great world thats fun to explore but too shallow for it to be a great game imo.
Warhammer 40k Space Marines 2 - Cant stop playing 😅 I got the platinum earlier in the week but I’ll keep playing it now and then as its so awesome. For the Emperor!
Dragon Age Veilguard - Hadnt planned to play this now but since it dropped on PS Plus I decided to give it a shot! I’m enjoying a lot so far, they’ve created a beautiful world that feels magical and I like the gameplay. Its not perfect but better than I expected after all the ***** surrounding the game.
Warhammer 40k - Space Marines 2 - I'm still having so much fun with this game. Wish there was more of everything with this game 🙂
Avowed - The game has grown on me. The solution to enjoying it more for me was that I stopped treating it as an AAA rpg (its to shallow and lacks that immersion and interactivity for that imo) and instead I’m playing it as an AA adventure game with fun exploration in a beautiful world and that works good. Mainly just doing the main quests with a bit of extra running around. Also lowered difficulty, dont want to have to grind for levels. So yeah, not a perfect game at all but enjoyable 🙂
I’ll get this on a deep sale just for the hell of playing Forza on my ps5 pro but didnt really love it that much when I played it on Xbox but its a beautiful game!
Warhammer 40k - space Marines 2 - still having so much fun with this games. Been playing some multiplayer and some of the operations, and I feel like I will keep playing this game for a long time. Might even go for the platinum 🙂
Avowed - I´ve managed to get maybe 6 hours in, and the game is growing on me despite some minor issues I have that might be something others dont really care about. The physics of the game is a bit all over the place which sadly my brain really registers and it brakes the immersion for me. Like, mugs are all breaking the laws of physics and cannot be moved whatever you do, grass doesnt catch on fire, NPCs are mostly (all?) standing still and also cant be hit with anything, unlimited arrows that dissapear after a few seconds, enemy weapons dissapear when they are defeated etc etc and Skyrim for example did all that a lot better 14 years ago. Its just something I expect in a first person RPG but that may be a non issue to some but its going to take some getting used to for me. It does look pretty good though, and runs fairly well on the Series S. Exploration and movement feels really good, combat is ok and the story and side quests so far are ok. Im a big fan ot these kinds of games and I love exploring the world. Hoping the game keeps growing on me and I really should try and enjoy it for what it is, not what I want it to be 🙂
As I commented last time, really good idea for an article and nice to see a mix of games recommended. Will check the ones I dont already own and see if I´ll add some to the backlog
Managed to get more playtime than normal this week, always nice 🤓
Sniper Elite Resistance - So, I got in a pickle after an autosave so decided to load an older save. Got in another similar situation with low health, being hunted and an autosave 😬 I realised I dont have the patience for this game as Im rushing to much. But I feel like I've shot enough Nazi balls off to happily drop it, at least for now!
Sayonara Wild Hearts - Having heard so much good about it I had to play it. And wow, what an experience! Its hard to explain what the game is, rytmn mixed with schmup with very cool graphics and a great soundtrack perhaps. Its also short, if you like great but different games I really recommend you give it a try 😀
Warhammer 40k Space Marines 2 - I wanted to play a game with a short enough campaign that I would be able to finish it before Avowed and there was a sale for this 🙂 Having played the trial I knew it was good but damn, I've really been enjoying this. It looks and plays really great and is just so much fun to play imo. I've finished the campaign but I need more! Thankfully theres operations and multiplayer 😀
I played and ejnoyed the game, but it isnt as good as the first. Still worth checking out if you like these kinds of games. I might double dip at a nice enough price to experience it on the pro 🤓
Life is Strange Double Exposure - I've managed to find the time to finish and platinum the game. Its a really good game imo, but I dont think its as good as the first Life is Strange or Before the Storm. Its more of a Hollywood story with a happy ending, which isnt bad in itself but the darker story and impact of the choices (especially the last one) in LiS felt more significant and emotional and theres no moment like that in Double Exposure which makes it a bit less good imo. Its also a new story with new powers but they still chose to go with Max as the lead character, which isnt necessary at all imo. The game is good enough to stand on its own. This all makes it sounds as I didnt enjoy the game but I really, really did and I look forward to more LiS in the future. Also looking forward to Lost Records 🙂
Sniper Elite Resistance - Playing in short bursts, still enjoying it!
Far Cry New Dawn - Had to try the 60 fps upgrade on the Series S, which is great and sort of made me want to play the game again. Hopefully I´ll get to play some co-op with my son but he and his friends have discovered how fun the Far Cry games are in co-op after finishing both 5 and 6 so I might not get the chance...
I dont think Resistance 3 sold very well which would explain it. Would love a fresh reboot to Resistance or maybe a remake of the first, instead of Resistance 4
The Plague Tale Requiem - finished and platinumed. What a game, great story that had me hooked from start to finish, even though it was my second playthrough. Love it!
Life is Strange Double Exposure - its been on my wishlist and its on sale so decided to get it. I'm a bit torn. I'm enjoying it a lot, feels great to play a Life is Strange game again but I really wish they left Maxs (and Chloes) story where it was. It was a great end to it. This game is not at the same level as the first LiS or Before the storm, which are amazing imo, but its not a bad game in itself at all. Just wish they would've gone with new characters as it really doesnt add anything to have Max in it and the game would have been better for it imo.
Sniper Elite Resistance - I've only played the first mission on my series S and enjoyed it. It looks a bit ***** though and its glitchy but its fun, more fun than I expected it would be as I dropped Sniper Elite 5 rather quick. We'll se how this one holds up for me but good start.
Eternal Strands - its on gamepass, so gave it 1-2 hours before giving up. Didnt like the combat among other things, and there are better games to spend my time with.
Imo FH4 was better and I got bored with FH5 pretty fast but I’ll probably get it in a deep sale down the line. I really hope it does well on Playstation, I want MS as a third party publisher in the future 🙂
It feels wierd seing Forza confirmed for Playstation. Even if we knew it was happening it wasnt really 100 percent in my mind but now that it is real its hard to grasp….
Thats good news, Xbox as a big successful publisher is great and it might mean I can save money not needing to buy as many consoles in the future but still play those awesome Xbox games I want
I’ve been focusing on The Plague Tale Requiem - whats surprising me, having played it once at release, is how good it is. Even if I remember the story, if not all the details, its really gripping me again. Amazing!
Spider-Man 2 - Finished it, amazing game. Miles is still my favorite of the three Spider-Man games but some of the main missions in S-M 2 are incredible.
The Stanley parable - finished and platinumed. Brilliant game, great humour. The end is really never the end with this game. Not even sure I´ve seen all the game has to offer but having seen most of it I can put it down now.
Star Wars: Tales from the galaxys edge VR - not been feeling the urge to play it at all since last week, which is pretty telling. Mediocre game, but I think I´m gonna drop it. There are other games I want to play instead.
A Plague Tale - Requiem - I played this back at release on the Series S but I'm going back to it now on the PS5 pro, really enjoying the game. Loved the first one as well, need to add the platinum of Requiem to the collection as it bugs me otherwise. Yes I’m wierd like that 😂
Managed to get quite a bit of game time since last week 😊
Jusant - Finished it, what an epic journey. Really enjoyed it, so much so I got the platinum.
Cocoon - Got reminded in EGs game of 2024 list that I had started but for some reason not finished EGs GOTY for 2023. Really cool game, it did fry my brain with some of the puzzles so I had to use a guide at some points. Very clever and very good game 😊
Spider-man 2 - Doing a ng+ and Im enjoying it, amazing (😊) game. Some of the main missions are just superb. Playing it on fidelity pro 40 fps and it looks so, so good. Usually prefer 60 fps but finally having a TV supporting this mode makes it my new favorite, perfect mix between quality and performance.
The Stanley parable - Fun little game, nice dry humour. Need to get the platinum for this, its an interesting list but that one trophy that requires you to play for a full Tuesday is going to be a bitch however its done 😅
Star Wars: Tales from the galaxys edge VR - its “free” on plus, might as well play it. Just an hour or two in, its mediocre so far but shooting lasers if still fun and its Star Wars so I´ll play some more 😊
You are spouting a lot of personal thoughts and opinions posing them as facts more or less, when they are not. Your opinions are yours, you are free to express them but please separate that from trying to predict the doom of the ps5 as it makes absolutely no sense.
I´ll buy and play it at some point, probably pretty soon, as Im a fan of LiS and Max but I dont have high expectations. Should have been Dont Nod that developed the game sincve its another Max story but yeah...
Zelda - echoes of wisdom - Its really a special feeling to play a new Zelda game 🙂 Been on a family vacation and the switch is just perfect to bring! I really enjoy the game, love the visuals and that its a top down view, brings me back to LttP 🙂 it is however, imho, a bit heavy on the echoes focus and it feels to gimmicky. Need a bridge or a tower to climb on, build it from gravity defying beds. Need to heal during a boss fight, make a bed and sleep in it between boss attacks... But its a minor complaint really! Now we're back home Im thinking about pausing it until next trip, we'll see.
Jusant - wanted a relaxing game on the ps5 in between other games and this is perfect for that!
I love my Portal, gives me more opportunities to play and I can bring it on holidays etc. The added function to stream games from the cloud was great, hope they add all streamable games soon.
Hope you all are enjoying the holidays! Finished some games, tried some games and started a game Ive been looking forward to 🙂
Indy - finished it earlier in the week and loved it! It had a good story and fun gameplay (stealth being a bit of a weak point imo) and exploration and most importantly it felt like a great adventure! I can see myself double dip for this game and get it on the ps5 when on a sale 🙂
Behemoth PSVR2 - also finished, and platinumed, which meant playing it twice. Ive enjoyed the game a lot, I like the setting and the fighting and the boss fights are pretty cool. The game could use more polish though, some minor bugs squashed and improvement to controls would be welcome. My own review score? A weak 4 out of 5, but of you are unsure of you like this kind of game wait for a sale or a demo/trial 🙂
Forspoken - Been giving it a couple of hours, but decided to drop it. Its not a bad game, but its not a good one either and I didnt feel like it was worth my time, at least not right now.
Sonic frontiers - Didnt click for me, again not a bad game just not for me.
Zelda - echoes of wisdom - Its really a special feeling to play a new Zelda game 🙂 Currently on a family vacation and I basically just started playing but I feel like I will enjoy it 🙂

@EfYI
I also chose to go with a male Elf rouge 🙂 maybe would have been more fun with something like a Qunari..: maybe next game
And good luck with the romances 🤓

Re: April Could Be a Colossal Month from Xbox on PS5

A bit of all of that 🤓 Played it on the series S and just focused on the story but want to play it again and do everything but get the best experience which should be the ps5 pro 🙂
Re: Rumour: Oblivion PS5 Remake Is Out Soon, Possibly Even Next Month
Loved Oblivion, but I need to temper my hype level until it gets confirmed and I get to see the improvements made...
Re: April Could Be a Colossal Month from Xbox on PS5
Im double dipping on Indy at some point, not decided on FH5 yet as I kind of bounced off that on Xbox after having played FH4 quite a lot and its more of the same but not as good buit if you´re new to the series or just love that type of game you´re in for a treat!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 571

Re: Split Fiction (PS5) - A Truly Outstanding, Peerlessly Creative Co-Op Adventure
Sounds amazing! Will def get it sooner rather than later
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 570
Same as last week 🙂
Warhammer 40k - Space Marines 2 - I'm still having so much fun with this game. Wish there was more of everything with this game 🙂
Avowed - The game has grown on me.

Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for March 2025 Announced
Well damn, thats a surprise! Decided to wait with Veilguard until it got in a service and glad i didnt have to wait long. Will def try it out 🙂
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 569
Warhammer 40k - space Marines 2 - still having so much fun with this games. Been playing some multiplayer and some of the operations, and I feel like I will keep playing this game for a long time. Might even go for the platinum 🙂
Avowed - I´ve managed to get maybe 6 hours in, and the game is growing on me despite some minor issues I have that might be something others dont really care about. The physics of the game is a bit all over the place which sadly my brain really registers and it brakes the immersion for me. Like, mugs are all breaking the laws of physics and cannot be moved whatever you do, grass doesnt catch on fire, NPCs are mostly (all?) standing still and also cant be hit with anything, unlimited arrows that dissapear after a few seconds, enemy weapons dissapear when they are defeated etc etc and Skyrim for example did all that a lot better 14 years ago. Its just something I expect in a first person RPG but that may be a non issue to some but its going to take some getting used to for me.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 568
Managed to get more playtime than normal this week, always nice 🤓
Sniper Elite Resistance - So, I got in a pickle after an autosave so decided to load an older save. Got in another similar situation with low health, being hunted and an autosave 😬 I realised I dont have the patience for this game as Im rushing to much. But I feel like I've shot enough Nazi balls off to happily drop it, at least for now!
Sayonara Wild Hearts - Having heard so much good about it I had to play it. And wow, what an experience!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 567
Since last week I´ve mainly been playing
Life is Strange Double Exposure - I've managed to find the time to finish and platinum the game. Its a really good game imo, but I dont think its as good as the first Life is Strange or Before the Storm. Its more of a Hollywood story with a happy ending, which isnt bad in itself but the darker story and impact of the choices (especially the last one) in LiS felt more significant and emotional and theres no moment like that in Double Exposure which makes it a bit less good imo.

Re: PlayStation Fans Could've Had Another Resistance Game, But Sony Said No

Spider-Man 2 - Finished it, amazing game. Miles is still my favorite of the three Spider-Man games but some of the main missions in S-M 2 are incredible.
The Stanley parable - finished and platinumed. Brilliant game, great humour. The end is really never the end with this game. Not even sure I´ve seen all the game has to offer but having seen most of it I can put it down now.

Re: Random: The Elder Scrolls 6 Announcement Is Now as Old as Skyrim Was Back Then
I have such high hope for ES 6 but so low expectations after Starfield it makes me feel dumb for even hoping.
Re: Square Enix Wonders Why Life is Strange: Double Exposure Didn't Work Out
I´ll buy and play it at some point, probably pretty soon, as Im a fan of LiS and Max but I dont have high expectations. Should have been Dont Nod that developed the game sincve its another Max story but yeah...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 562
Zelda - echoes of wisdom - Its really a special feeling to play a new Zelda game 🙂 Been on a family vacation and the switch is just perfect to bring! I really enjoy the game, love the visuals and that its a top down view, brings me back to LttP 🙂 it is however, imho, a bit heavy on the echoes focus and it feels to gimmicky. Need a bridge or a tower to climb on, build it from gravity defying beds. Need to heal during a boss fight, make a bed and sleep in it between boss attacks... But its a minor complaint really! Now we're back home Im thinking about pausing it until next trip, we'll see.
Jusant - wanted a relaxing game on the ps5 in between other games and this is perfect for that!
Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' Top 10 PS5 Games of 2024
Very solid list, readers! Astro bot is my number one for 2024, but I havent played all the games in the top 10 which I need to do at some point 🙂
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for January 2025 Announced
Tried the demo of Suicide Squad, that was more than enough. Not worth my time. NFS is fun and I’ll check Stanley out so decent month!
Re: Game of the Year: #1 - Astro Bot
Well deserved! Had so much fun playing Astro 🙂
Re: PS Portal Owners Spend More Time Playing PS5, Says Sony
I love my Portal, gives me more opportunities to play and I can bring it on holidays etc. The added function to stream games from the cloud was great, hope they add all streamable games soon.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 561
Hope you all are enjoying the holidays! Finished some games, tried some games and started a game Ive been looking forward to 🙂
Indy - finished it earlier in the week and loved it! It had a good story and fun gameplay (stealth being a bit of a weak point imo) and exploration and most importantly it felt like a great adventure! I can see myself double dip for this game and get it on the ps5 when on a sale 🙂
Behemoth PSVR2 - also finished, and platinumed, which meant playing it twice. Ive enjoyed the game a lot, I like the setting and the fighting and the boss fights are pretty cool. The game could use more polish though, some minor bugs squashed and improvement to controls would be welcome. My own review score? A weak 4 out of 5, but of you are unsure of you like this kind of game wait for a sale or a demo/trial 🙂
Forspoken - Been giving it a couple of hours, but decided to drop it. Its not a bad game, but its not a good one either and I didnt feel like it was worth my time, at least not right now.
Sonic frontiers - Didnt click for me, again not a bad game just not for me.
Zelda - echoes of wisdom - Its really a special feeling to play a new Zelda game 🙂 Currently on a family vacation and I basically just started playing but I feel like I will enjoy it 🙂
Re: Game of the Year: Best PSVR2 Game of 2024

@carlos82
How is Subside? Tried the demo and put the game on my wishlist 🙂
Re: Game of the Year: #7 - Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Re: Game of the Year: Khayl's Top 5 PS5 Games of 2024
Still to play both Space Marines 2 and Helldivers 2 (must fix that soon) but Rebirth was really, really good imo 🤩
Re: We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Happy holidays to you all!
Re: Game of the Year: Stephen's Top 5 PS5 Games of 2024
Astro deserves the top spot. Went back to it yesterday and played the holiday level, pure fun!
