It IS great. But I personally found the novelty wore off after around 8hrs of play. I need to go back to it and complete it.

Huge win, if true, for those that don't have it though.

@kyleforrester87 surely they have?? Who on earth compares Silent Hill F with Baby Steps??

In the surreal games world Baby Steps in the eyes of Push Square is Very Good and for those into this style of game they are definitely recommending

In the survival games world SHF is good. But just don't expect it to be the next RE. Plus for those that just bought the remake SH maybe expectations should be tempered

I have zero problem in determining whether I think a game is for me from their reviews. And am yet to disagree on one i have purchased/downloaded

Maybe Push Square (if they don't already) should have a league table of reviews by genre?

Addendum: as an example a JPRG has to have a minimum 9/10 for me to consider as they are not my cup of tea. But a couch co-op can be a 6 or 7 as i know that is "good enough" for me to have fun with my daughter. It is not about whether the 9/10 is better or worse than the 6/10.

@Oram77 or if you are crap at (but enjoy) gaming like me!

@Stevemalkpus Sword of the Sea is great. I smashed it out in 2 days. I have downloaded Harold too despite the mixed reviews. Seems interesting.

@trymer89 super fun game. I am having a ball too.

planning on finishing Lego Voyagers with my daugther. It is no Split Fiction but we have had a ball together through the relatively short 5 hour run time. Mostly at 5 hours because we have buggered around building for no real reason!! It definitely has scope to grow so hopefully they look at creating some add-ons. I am also at 80% in the main quest of Indiana Jones but have been getting distracted by Fieldwork / Side Quests. The clunkiness still remains but so does the fun factor.

@Onearmbandit persevere with Inscryption. So worth it. I had an absolute blast, even though I was confused as hell at the end when I beat it!! Ha!

Been hanging for a new couch coop game to play with my 11yo daughter since we binged Split Fiction and It Takes Two (she was much better than me and we beat both because of her!)

A longer run time would have been great but at $35 (Australian) this seems a no brainer.

Is there any replay value post run completion?

Hoping Lego Voyagers is half decent as I need another good couch coop to play with my 11yo daughter 🤞

I am still one of the 7 people who subscribe to Premium so started playing the trial of Indiana Jones. Got so caught up in the adventure that when the 2hrs were up I immediately purchased. The fighting is clunky, the stealth a bit rudimentary with dumb AI but they have nailed the spirit and essence of Indy perfectly. Great fun 😁

Pyschonauts 2 is great! Pity I have it. Not fussed on the other 2. But last few months have already bolstered my library to "out of control" status, so not overly bothered!

Beat my 1st runs on Monster Train 2 and Slay The Spire.

Want to complete Dave The Diver and then crack into Sword of the Sea

If my 11yo behaves we have nearly completed Sackboy

Me and my 11yo daughter are loving gaming together (p.s she is way better than me). Split Fiction, It Takes Two and Sackboy have been co-op faves and this looks right up our alley. As long as it is at least a 6 will definitely pick this up

Very cool month for me. Queue them up behind about 50 others still unplayed!!

Having finally beaten Inscryption during the week it is now all been Monster Train 2. I seem to be addicted to deck builders at the moment even though i am truly terrible about them. Just something about the "just one more run....."

Lies of P. Nice. And don't forget @everyone that Sword of the Sea drops free for subscribers next month too. Looks great. Though might not be!

@EfYI oh man i better get STS as well as MT then!!

@Shadeon_Koopa thanks mate. Based on this and @4fold response I will pick up MT this weekend and put in the queue

@4fold thanks! On it 👌

@thefourfoldroot1 would love your thoughts on MT2

@EfYI see my post below. I should have scrolled comments first. If I like Inscryption and Balatro will I like Slay?

Close to finishing both Inscryption and Dave the Diver. Both incredibly addictive Indies.

Talking of Indies Balatro will get an outing as usual

I am actually very new to rogue like card builders.

If I like the above will I like Monster Train and/or Slay the Spire? Any chance they will hit PS Plus??

Picked up Inscryption in the sale and absolutely addicted. I mean I am pretty rubbish at it but another cracking indie game.

My "to play" list which is already very long just got a whole lot longer. Excellent month 👊

bit gutted there is no couch co-op though. my 11yo daughter loves the first 2 but hated that we kept having to swap controllers to have a go. we would much rather be able to play it together. and no I am not buying her her own ps5 and putting her in another room! haha!

Detroit Become Human. Really enjoying this. Appreciate it is more interactive movie than game but I am definitely sucked in. It looks great too!

Right up my alley. And 1 of the few bright spots of creativity in a sea of soulslike, JRPG and Multi player shooters on display at Summer Fest

there was some interesting looking co-op stuff in Out of Words and Lego Voyagers. And MIO looked kinda interesting too. But a lot of dull soulslike, JRPG and team shooty games. Everyone hyped for Resi Evil but I have struggled a bit with the last 2 - just personal. Looks good though.

it had me at James Bond. nothing else really grabbed me. i am interested in the look of Baby Steps and Cairn but not sure they are really my type of games.

Pumped. 2 games have been super keen to try but not sure if they would be for me. Instant downloads to see.

nothing that blows me away BUT i actually have interest in playing all 4 of them. i can't imagine playing any of them for hours on end but it will certainly be a fun June weekend

damn, i was really keen for this one and was hoping for a 7 or more. may park this one for the timebeing as i have a lot on my list to purchase (and to play)

@Nalim half way through Mafia 1 and having loads of fun after taking an age to win that damn car race. 2nd about a dozen times!!

Hi my name is Old_Gamer74 and I am a Balatro addict.

It has been 30 seconds since my last run.

I should have heeded the warnings here!!

@babybilly heard. reckon i will give it a crack.

@Discol76 from what i understood this game can be played with or without VR.

i was kinda interested in this one but is there any point without VR?

Been a mental weekend but have downloaded Balatro.

Plus picked up the Mafia Definitive Edition Trilogy for $19.99 in Australia so will jump into that in with the aim of completing before Old Country drops.

That's a big BOOM from me 👍

Pretty keen to see how Precinct, Deliver at All Costs, Mouse PI and Reanimal turn out.

I like the idea of an early style GTA but from the police perspective
Deliver just looks like fun!
I love the art style of PI and am back into FPS
And I am a huge fan of Little Nightmares

Looks amazing. Obviously. BUT wish developers would take more cues from Asian (and particulary Chinese) developers actually giving us a blend of cutscenes and gameplay in the trailers every step of the development process.

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colussus. Because why not. It is so over the top I am having an absolute blast.

Going to hit Old Blood and Youngblood afterwards too, despite the mixed reviews - especially the latter.

Anyone any thoughts on those 2?

Balatro has been sitting in my shopping cart for ages, so very happy

Other 2 are just bonuses that I will have a little look at

Finished Split Fiction with my 11yo daughter (who is a way better gamer than I am - haha). We absolutely loved it so grabbed It Takes Two, which is on sale for $20 here in Australia and got an hour or so into that with her. Shaping up to be equally fun.

would be a good addition BUT played and enjoyed the ps4 version already. would be no real reason to play the upgrade. definitely recommend to those who haven't played it though to smash it out on a rainy Sunday.

Here in Australia we have got 65% of 'It Takes Two'. That was a no-brainer purchase for me.

The Once Upon A Puppet trailer intrigued me, so interested to see the final result

love indiana jones and adventure games but I suck at stealth. did have this game near the top of my list to buy in 2025 so given it is stealth heavy will i be disappointed if i purchase??

as someone who is late to the ps5 party i am finding premium incredibly good value. every month i am finding at least 1 or 2 games i want to have a crack at. as a result i have a backlog of at least 20 games. yet to buy a full price game.

was interested in Blue Prince but i reckon it is absolutely going to frustrate the hell out of me, so I will give the golf a go, getting into the open world malarkey so hogwarts is on the list and a bit of fps action in Battlefield. haven't played the 1st lost records but given i have it in the catalogue i will get the conclusion too.
