"One of the best" probably because there are not that many games on PS5 lol. Heard it is very mediocre at best, 8 seems too good, esp when you gave 4s to many titles that deserved better
I dont really know what to expect, reviews from pushsquare for tennis / plants are 7 and 8 out of 10, that doesnt sound bad. However Oddworld was just 4?
I don't understand people complaining this game is outdated and looks like from 90s and then praising games like celeste, enter the gungeon, scott pilgrim, cuphead, minecraft and others.
I will be minority and say I really like this game so far (about 5 hours in)
I didnt expect much after seeing trailers and especially this review. But from the first moments I liked the pace and how dramatic it was since the first scene. Surprisingly I like the graphics as well.
I spend lots of time playing Bandicoot trilogy, but the end was more frustrating and not enjoyable so i didnt even bother finishing all parts. 3D was sometimes against the level design to add more frustration. And seeing Oddworld's 2.5D was just a great compromise.
Someone mentioned high review score for Little nightmares here on PS, I played it for an hour or so, didnt like the level design and lack of controls.
4 is very harsh and not fair, for me so far solid 8
To be honest I expected better, the only good one is TLoU2, but I'm gonna wait for PS5 patch before buying this one. Don't want to finish the game and then puff PS5 patch is here as it happened with GoW or Ratchet lol.
GoT waiting for deal for £25
I will get PS+ instead and spend some time with PS+ collection and monthly games in the meantime.
Of course I just finished it lol. But will be great to replay once this update is out. Exactly same thing happened with GoW, update just few days after I finished it.
Now I don't want to touch TLoU2 and RDR2 before 60fps is out. If ever for RDR2.
@blinx01 I'm really glad they gave us Control PS5 version, I think FF7R was still fairly new so they went with PS4 version but hoping more PS5 games coming!
I'm surprised there are not many games from Play at home here in the comments.
I was playing WD: Legion trial, I had a great start but after few hours I understood all those negative reviews. Glad I didn't pay for it, not even gonna finish the trial.
I finished Abzu in one take yesterday. Blew me away, beautiful music and visuals. I was surprised as I didn't like Journey.
Gonna try Witness and Subnautica tonight and tomorrow.
Would be great to add information about other well selling titles as well and maybe which ones were the best in the past? That would be great stuff for an article. If I remember correctly TLoU2 is best selling PS game ever?
To be honest I don't understand this hype. I am glad they are giving games for free but they are mediocre at best (March games). I will try Witness but only because it had amazing reviews. Went through reviews of all games multiple times and tried to choose another game to try but didn't like anything. Not even for trying.
HZD is amazing to be for free but I already own that game and finished it 2 months ago.
What excites me more is waiting for "free" PS+ games for next/future months.
This is a great topic! I thought I would replay games all the time so I bought (luckily on sale) some of the best games TLoU, GoW, HZD, Uncharted4, MGSV but found out I dont really enjoy replaying them.
I totally loved all of them but replaying seem like a speed run with motivation lacking. When there is a boring passage i tend to quit and never come back again.
Knowing this I don't really want to buy games again but only get PS+ and wait for great titles to be added. And as I recently saw with FF7 or Control, even new titles can be added without waiting for too long.
I got a month trial for £0.79 purely for SW: Fallen Order. Was supper happy that i didnt have to pay full price for that game as it is not worth a penny lol.
Other game i installed and loved was Titanfall 2. Rest not interesting to me.
@djlard thank you for explaining this to me. I used to play lots of old games (e.g. Golden Axe) back in the days and loved them, but i think they can do so much better these days so bit surprising they stick to the old graphics.
For example Ori and the Will of the Wisps is one of the best rated games for Xbox, that one looks so beautiful, could have been pixelated but isnt.
I am 100% digital, so got my PS5 digital version too, even started buying games on sale before owning one lol. But i was lucky and got mine in early Dec.
I have finished God of War this week, playing Uncharted 4 now. New to Playstation, for both games when i played them i was thinking "This is the best game i ever played". I loved Tomb Raider games but this is another level.

Re: All PS5 and PS4 Game Trials and Demos
Fantastic article, I was just wondering yesterday what are the trials and where I could find them, this adds demos as well, superb.
The fact that the trial starts with time of the download is awful.
Re: Talking Point: What PS Plus Games for November 2021 Do You Want?
Nier: Automata and Ghostrunner because I just finished both on PS Now.
And Persona 5 (because it is on PS+ collection)
I'm not even hoping for a good month to be honest
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 397
Just finished Nier: Automata few days ago.
I tried Hell let loose and PGA tour. Gave 1 hr for each, deleted both.
Guess I take some time off playing this weekend hehe.
Re: PS5, PS4 Co-Op Looter Shooter Project Magnum Looks Very Flashy in Teaser Trailer
Looks alright, like mix of Gears, Matrix and War of the worlds.
Hopefully will have a decent single player campaign, not some multiplayer crap.
Re: Mini Review: The Medium (PS5) - One of the Best Horror Experiences on PS5
"One of the best" probably because there are not that many games on PS5 lol. Heard it is very mediocre at best, 8 seems too good, esp when you gave 4s to many titles that deserved better
Re: UK Sales Charts: Aliens: Fireteam Elite Knocks PS5, PS4 Exclusives Down the Top 10
This list is kind of pointless if it doesn't consider digital sales.
I would expect the majority being digital now.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn's Logo Retroactively Refreshed to Reflect Forbidden West
not a fan. it looks like a pause icon. and doesnt match the brush style of the sign above
Re: Rumour: PS Plus September 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked Ahead of Official Reveal
This would definitely be a better month than the last one.
Hitman 2 is a fantastic game, I have Gold edition so this wouldnt be anything for me.
Overcooked looks alright, would defo try.
Predator meh.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Gets 60FPS Patch on PS5, Available Now
Omg Yaas, finally I can finish Frozen Wilds
Re: Assassin's Creed Odyssey Runs at 60FPS on PS5 with New Patch
That's fantastic, I just decided last week to buy Origins over Odyssey as my first AC as it should be shorter with less bloat.
Hopefully they will update Origins soon too, otherwise I will have to reconsider and get Odyssey instead.
Re: Talking Point: What September 2021 PS Plus Games Do You Want for PS5, PS4?
there is a picture on twitter showing "Setembro jogos mensais" (September monthly games in Portuguese) as :
PS5: Medium
PS4: Haven and Tony Hawk 1&2
some of those pics were fake, some were correct, lets wait and see
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for August 2021?
I am hoping Sony is planning something big for September after this crappy month.
Re: PS Plus August 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
I dont really know what to expect, reviews from pushsquare for tennis / plants are 7 and 8 out of 10, that doesnt sound bad. However Oddworld was just 4?
Well I try all 3 games next month and see.
Re: PS Plus August 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked by Sony
Completely meh. I got Ps+ subscription after Control and FF7, thought / hoped there would be another great games but since that pretty boring
Re: Talking Point: What Free June 2021 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
Nier: Automata, Sekiro or DMC5

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 370
I finally want to finish Days gone, i think last 5 hours to go! and then FF7 Remake, having high expectations.
Re: PS Plus April 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
I think we got a bit spoiled by amazing titles in recent months.
I loved Days gone on PS5 as part of PS+ Collection, so very happy for those who haven't tried it yet but for me is this month a bit meh (spoiled)
Re: PS Store Spring Sale Goes Live with 500 PS5, PS4 Deals
@Col_McCafferty I believe they will announce the April PS+ games today around 3pm UK time
Re: PS Store Spring Sale Goes Live with 500 PS5, PS4 Deals
To be honest I expected better, the only good one is TLoU2, but I'm gonna wait for PS5 patch before buying this one. Don't want to finish the game and then puff PS5 patch is here as it happened with GoW or Ratchet lol.
GoT waiting for deal for £25
I will get PS+ instead and spend some time with PS+ collection and monthly games in the meantime.
Re: Play Hitman 3 for Free with a Starter Pack Until Monday
Fantastic, I wish there were more games for Ps5 to try out like this one or Watch Dogs: Legions
Re: PS Store Spring Sale Delivers Big Discounts This Wednesday
@Spoonman-2 I hope the recent sales were lame because they were keeping the best for Easter / spring.
Re: PS Store Spring Sale Delivers Big Discounts This Wednesday
Oh yeah!
Hoping for a good sale on TLoU2, Ghost of Tsushima and Sekiro!
Re: PS4 Remake Ratchet & Clank Getting PS5 60 Frames-Per-Second Patch
Of course I just finished it lol. But will be great to replay once this update is out. Exactly same thing happened with GoW, update just few days after I finished it.
Now I don't want to touch TLoU2 and RDR2 before 60fps is out. If ever for RDR2.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Just Two PS5, PS4 Games Make the Top 10 This Week
Oh wow, savage.
I hope it will look different once PS Easter sales are on! Currently not many highly rated titles are on sale (because Easter will be huge!)
Re: Talking Point: What Free April 2021 PS Plus Games Are You Hoping For?
@blinx01 I'm really glad they gave us Control PS5 version, I think FF7R was still fairly new so they went with PS4 version but hoping more PS5 games coming!

Re: Ghost of Tsushima Has Sold a Staggering 6.5 Million Copies
Fantastic, cannot wait to try it out soon!
Would be great to add information about other well selling titles as well and maybe which ones were the best in the past? That would be great stuff for an article. If I remember correctly TLoU2 is best selling PS game ever?
Re: Best PS5, PS4 Game Deals on PS Store This Week (24th March to 30th March)
Quite underwhelming.
I'm sure they are keeping the best deals for next week - Easter!!
I'm hoping for good deals on TLoU2, Sekiro and GoT!! Please!
Re: Talking Point: What Free April 2021 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
No expecting last years masterpieces like TLoU2 or GoT but hoping for Nier: Automata or Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition
Re: Watch Dogs Legion Will Be Free-to-Play This Weekend on PS5, PS4
Fantastic, so I don't have to waste any money and just try it out.
Re: Poll: What Free PS4 Games Are You Most Excited to Play?
To be honest I don't understand this hype. I am glad they are giving games for free but they are mediocre at best (March games). I will try Witness but only because it had amazing reviews.

HZD is amazing to be for free but I already own that game and finished it 2 months ago.

Re: Soapbox: Why Do You Replay Games?

Re: Mini Review: Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time (PS5) - Cracking Platformer Looks Amazing After Next-Gen Upgrade
Awesome. I loved the Trilogy as part of PS+ collection, even though it was so frustrating at times.
I hope it will be one of the monthly PS+ games soon (same as Oddworld: Soulstorm next month)
Re: Deal: PS Plus Subscriptions Just $26.99 for a Full Year
Thats amazing, I just tried 2 weeks PS+ (UK) for £0.99
Finished Control and Crash Bandicoot Trilogy. Playing Days Gone which i love, unfortunately wont be able to finish it lol.
1 year for UK is currently for £40, if it goes down to £30 I'm all in!
Re: All EA Play Games on PS5, PS4
I got a month trial for £0.79 purely for SW: Fallen Order. Was supper happy that i didnt have to pay full price for that game as it is not worth a penny lol.
Other game i installed and loved was Titanfall 2. Rest not interesting to me.
Re: You Can Get 15 PS4 Indie Games for Less Than £5.50/$5.50 on PS Store
is it just me who finds this as waste of money even for below £5?
Re: Metal Gear Solid 5 Scouts Surprise PS4 Patch, But It Ain't Chapter 3

Re: PS5 UK Restock Targeted by Scalpers Again, Group Claims More Than 2,000 Orders Made
Why dont they just open preorders again, check all potential customers, remove scalpers/bots and slowly distributing it to real customers.
I know it sounds easier than it actually is but could that be an option?
Re: Hitman 3 (PS5) - The Ultimate Stealth Sandbox
I loved first two games, but i think i expected more from this one.
Maybe nicer menu or different HUD.
The only difference is camera and ray tracing. Levels looked amazing already so not sure what to improve, but wanted something next gen probably.
7/10
Re: Mini Review: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game Complete Edition - An Inconsistent Yet Entertaining Beat-'Em-Up

Re: Mini Review: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game Complete Edition - An Inconsistent Yet Entertaining Beat-'Em-Up
I loved the movie but dont understand this outdated ugly graphic, can someone explain that to me? retro?
Re: Naughty Dog 'Making Something Very Cool' as Hiring Spree Advertised

Absolutely Love Uncharted and The last of us series, keep them coming <3
Re: 67 Per Cent of UK Game Sales Were Digital Last Year
I am 100% digital, so got my PS5 digital version too, even started buying games on sale before owning one lol. But i was lucky and got mine in early Dec.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 358
I have finished God of War this week, playing Uncharted 4 now. New to Playstation, for both games when i played them i was thinking "This is the best game i ever played". I loved Tomb Raider games but this is another level.
Horizon Zero Dawn next
