Hogwarts Legacy - been looking forward to the game for a long time so when positive reviews started being published I bought the deluxe version so I could drop every other game and start playing Hogwarts right away.
Nice, been a bit curious about this game so its nice to get a trial. One hour was a bit short though but I guess its enough time to find out if its for me!
I´ve been playing Life is Strange remastered. Absolutley love the games. The story, music and the choices. They hit you hard in the feels though. Last time I played life is strange first and the before the storm. This time I played them in the "correct" order, before the storm and then Life is strange. Makes a bit of a difference in how you experience them.
Also picked up New Tales from the Borderlands, will probably start playing it tonight. Beraking that up with some Apex Legends
Its a gamepass day 1 so will try it on the series S. If its awesome I might pick it up for the ps5, more horsepower to play with plus the awesomeness of the dualsense 😁
Lol, putting Cyberpunk 2077 as number one is gonna stir some ***** up 😀
I must say I loved that game, once the ps5 version and some patches dropped. Absolutely amazing stories in there, some side quests and storylines are the best I’ve ever played I think. Also liked the main story.
Been playing a bit of different games this past week
God of War Ragnarök - Platinumed it last weekend. What an amazing game. Just love it, start to finish!
Return to Monkey Island - Played through it in a couple of days, not very long but pretty good. Not as good as the older games imo and the art style didnt really do it for me but it was fun and a bit nostalgic. And the hint book was supremely done, hope more games can use the idea of that in some ways.
Forspoken - just played the demo. Looks fantastic, a bit unsure about the game still but will keep a close eye and probably play it at some point
Bramble - the Mountain king - another demo I played this morning. Looks great, developed by a small swedish team. Will def be playing this!
Eastward - great indie game on Gamepass. Im a couple of hours in and considering the game is 20ish hours long I fear it will drag on too much and overstay its welcome but so far I´m enjoying it.
The technical issues makes this a big NO for me, cant stand it. Tried it on my series S a year ago and deleted it pretty quickly. A shame really as there is a game beyond the issues I want to play. We´ll see if they can patch it but not holding my breath.
I’ve played an hour of the trial and its not as bad as I feared but I feel like a couple of patches will improve things so I’ll wait 6-12 months before playing.
More GoW Ragnarök for me. Nearing the end I think and imo the game started amazing and had only gotten better along the way. Dont even mind the slower parts. So it will probably be my goty. And my next platinum
haha I spent an hour on that f-n flappy bird trophy but got lucky and got it. Seems a bit random that one, not exactly skill based. But overall quite a fun platinum
Its a great game imo, and now with a lot lesser bugs etc. Its well worth playing. I´ll be doing another playthrough in the future, having platinumed it twice!
Great that its fun! I´ll wait and see how this looks down the line, if they can get less pop-ins etc as I find those a bit to distracting if its as bad as in the trailers. Will watch some gameplay videos and maybe pick it up in a sale.
Its been a bit of a mixed bag for me as I want to play Ragnarök as soon as I can on release and dont want to be stuck in another game I dont want to put on hold.
Bright Memory Infinite - was gonna wait for a sale but its cheap as it is. And Im glad I bought it, had a blast. Its short, platinumed it in 3-4 hours but it was an impressive couple of hours. Especially considering its basically developed by one person.
Inside - started playing after reading a comment on here, and its great. Really gets your hearth rate up at some points.
Tiny Tinas Assault on Dragon Keep - had this in the backlog for a long time, finally started playing it. Its a bit over the top but I really like it, and the humor in it. Might not finish it before Ragnarok but thats fine, its not the story thats important.
Signalis - started playing it around the same time as my son, and ended up playing it with him as the puzzles are a bit hard for him on his own. Awesome game, the tension is real!
I tried to play it on the series S but it had so much technical problems I just couldnt stand it. If its fixed on the ps5 I might give it another chance!
"PS Store sales are still important if you're not subscribed to PS Plus Extra or PS Plus Premium, so Wednesday marks a big day for bargain hunters"
I would argue that sales are still important even as a plus subscriber. Not all games will be on plus that you want to play, I always keep an eye on sales. Yes, sometimes I buy a game that ends up on plus but more often they dont.
Looks like their game engine isnt up to the task, horrible pop-ins etc. Hopefully they can fix some of it but its close to release now so probably not.
@Rob_230 it is a chore to navigate them sometimes. Especially the tedious backtracking, more so going for collectibles etc. I also hope this is much improved on in the sequel!
Damnit, loved the first so had high hopes for this one. Such a shame! I’ll wait for it to be on plus to try it out. Maybe buy it if its on a deeeeeep sale…

Re: Game of the Year: #1 - God of War Ragnarok
GoW:R deserves the top spot imo. Truly a masterpiece. HFW was close but the story cant match GoW!
Re: Game of the Year: #2 - Elden Ring
It was either this or GoW:R at the top, we all knew that. Both awesome games and to choose one or the other must be hard!
Re: Game of the Year: Aaron's Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games of 2022
Ah, GoW:R is truly a masterpiece and a worthy #1 of 2022!

Re: PS Plus Logo Hints At More Upcoming Day 1 Games

Re: PS5, PS4 Promo Showcases the Power of Sony's First-Party
Pretty much sums up why Playstation has the best exclusives, not even showing all of them. Awesome!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 454
GoW Ragnarök, finished the story and just loved the game from start to finish. What a masterpiece. Now for the platinum
Re: 25% of Players Have Beaten God of War Ragnarok, Two Weeks After Release
Yes, finished the story. Awesome! Now working on the platinum!
Re: Rumour: Sony Clamping Down on PS Store Shovelware with New Regulations
Nooo my one platinum a week plan is going to hell…
But just remove the platinum trophy from ”games” like these so we can play them for fun instead. If anyone plays them for fun.
At least My name is Mayo requires some work. Or a lot of work. Was a challenge from a friend. Almost killed me from boredom. (Sorry developer)
Re: Jaw Dropping Kayak Sim Targeting PSVR2 Launch Day
Wow, looks beautiful! A small stick between the controllers would do more than enough to create the feel of the real thing.

Re: Gorgeous Indie Game Sable Dated for 29th November on PS5, PS4

Re: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Reportedly 'Still on Track' for March 2023 Release on PS5
@Rob_230 it is a chore to navigate them sometimes. Especially the tedious backtracking, more so going for collectibles etc. I also hope this is much improved on in the sequel!
Re: Poll: Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
Depends on the game but I would really want the option to choose regardless.
Re: New Tales From The Borderlands (PS5) - No Tale, Too Much Borderlands
Damnit, loved the first so had high hopes for this one. Such a shame! I’ll wait for it to be on plus to try it out. Maybe buy it if its on a deeeeeep sale…
