@dardel stellar blade is my surprise of 2024. It was not on my radar at all but tried the demo and it instantly became my birthday present game off my wife.

If Astro Bot had not come out it would have been my GOTY. Loved the combat, atmosphere and soundtrack.

I heard bad things about the English voice over dub but I didn't find it bad at all.

It felt like a PS3 throwback(but a gorgeous one) and to me that's no bad thing

@Neverwild my GOTY 2023. Loved it from start to finish

I wasn't expecting this but started Coffee Talk and got pulled in. Enjoying the story and characters.

May try Phogs later too and if can get time with my wife to game may try Biped too.

May be in the minority here but been a good month on playstation plus for me. Like trying shorter indie games I may have missed or dismissed

I'm getting a few games but one I'll likely be on most over Christmas is Lego Horizon as it's family friendly

For anyone who hasn't played it yet I highly recommend Alan Wake 2 at that price.

I'll be getting Selfloss at some point I think and maybe cocoon

My kids used to talk about this crap. I blame YouTube for all this barrel scrapping

@LavenderShroud no-one ragged on you for liking a different console? That craps been around as far as I remember.

I was there for the original console wars Mega drive Vs SNES. It's going nowhere and has been a thing

Get it on ps5 asap. I want it now

That Biped looks a lot of fun

They learn nothing from the fake leaks about the last of us 2?

Imagine being so pathetic and vindictive to spend time making up fake leaks and imagine being so stupid that you just believe anything you hear. Tools tools and more tools

I really enjoyed Frontiers.

I played superstars for a bit but just found it off.

Got my son Generations for Christmas so I'll play that at some point and see what I think.

Superstars felt like a stop gap game to me and it's timing hitting around same time as Mario Wonder can't have helped

Boo hoo.

That's one way to lose any good will

@AhmadSumadi I'll pass thanks if it's all the same 😂

@daveofduncan I forgot about it. Would have made my top 5

I haven't played Silent Hill 2 which I think may have gotten top 2 or 3, or Lego Horizon, and I missed Horizon remastered on the list so my top 5 was....

1) Astro Bot
2) Stellar Blade
3) The Last of Us Part 2 remastered
4) Still Wakes the Deep
5) The Plucky Squire

Horizon remastered would have been 4th if remembered it, is it bad that 2 of my games are remastered? It's either testament to how good they are or sign that they're we're too many soulsbourne games for my tastes

@PuppetMaster it does drag a bit at points to be fair

@AhmadSumadi yeah cause being sarcastic or facetious comes across soooo well in text.

We'll it can if it was genuinely intended that way and when it's not it's very convenient to be able to say I was being sarcastic isn't it 😂🙈

@Lyedecker it seems a massive oversight not having it to me.

Was enjoying it to that point.

Voice acting still holds up

@Lyedecker think it's same part as me. Just after you get the soul reaver?

Hopefully they patch it as it's derailed it for me unfortunately

The first game was superb.

Zelda style adventure with amazing graphics and innovative gameplay

Had to pause Soul Reaver as can't change gamma settings and finding some sections too dark to make out where to go.

@LifeGirl forspoken got slagged off by people who didn't play it. As someone who played it not long after it came out i can honestly say I genuinely liked it.

It wasn't perfect but it was fun and I finished it enjoying it for the most part

@KingPev 100% I genuinely liked it. Found it fun. Some good bits to the story towards the end

So glad Astro Bot won 4 including the big one as it's the most fun I've had in a video game in years.

It's just a game that makes you happy playing it and actually helped me during a difficult year

@invictus4000 bore off

Was good getting some of those bots. Some were pure nostalgia

Hope a few give forspoken a go as I think it was given way too much bad press. I genuinely liked it

Wish that mode was available from the start as it definitely dampened the experience for me

The gift that keeps on giving. Love it

@M-KesaiynCG I tried blood omen 1 again recently but the controls and combat weren't great in my opinion and I gave up on it.

May try blood omen 2 at some point as did enjoy it on PS2 and GameCube

@ParboldCoder I have very fond memories of both (and the whole series) but think a few people will get put off by some of the dated aspects and that will be a shame.

A remake or a new claim would be amazing and hopefully introduce a new generation to an amazing series

@ParboldCoder thought I'd tried that. Definitely did L3 and R3 as that's photo mode. I'll try it later.

Enjoyed what I've played but think its a game that would have benefited more from a remake maybe

Yeah it's not working for me either

@M-KesaiynCG on ps5 how can you switch graphic modes?

I can't figure what to do to see classic graphics.

I had a big graphical bug after beating the 1st boss

It's definitely lacking polish

@slips666 no. You would get more story background playing blood omen 1 first but it won't harm playing Soul Reaver 1 and 2 first

Rewind feature will come in handy in that annoying fishing bit on Jak. Won't have to go though restart process until get the right amount of fish

It's a remaster of a 2 games from 1999 and 2001. The combat was never going to be anything other than a tad dated so was prepared for that.

For me it's a pure blast of nostalgia. Loved the games back in the day. They nailed the atmosphere and the voice acting still holds up.

Can't wait to play it tomorrow

@Majin_Deicide I pre-ordered Soul Reaver yesterday. Should start downloading tomorrow ready for me to start it on my lunch break on Tuesday.

Can't wait. The original blew me away on PS1 and Dreamcast.

At the time it was head and shoulders above any game I'd come across for voice acting. The story was brilliant too.

Sounds like the right decision. Much better to have a delay than a mess of a game released.

I'll get it in 2025 28 years after having 1st seen the original. Makes me feel old 🤣

@tameshiyaku I bought Outlaws on launch day and it left me cold. No hearsay here. May be better now it's patched but I just couldn't get into it

My brother got a PS1 in late 95 I think. I knew very little about it but was blown away by games like Battle arena Toshinden and ridge racer.

We had a PS1 from pretty much the start and it sealed my love for playstation to this day

I didn't play re-loaded but loaded was an early PS1 fave, with toshinden, Pandemonium!, ridge Racer, wipeout, Tekken and lone commando and the awful but at the time good looking FIFA 96

@The_Rascal I could have got 15 out of 15 if spent 30 mins on it and help from Mr Google 😂🙈😂

Luck of the draw is I own it takes 2. Id recommend that game for anyone into co-op and platform games

Smurf's dreams and downloaded like a dragon ishin as heard it's a good entry point and looks more fun than rise of the Ronin

@ironcrow86 superb game

I know nothing about the series. I guessed expecting to get 3 out of 15 and got 6. I'm twice as lucky as I thought 😂

I loved Astro Bot from start to finish. It's a reminder that games are meant to be fun and few games are as fun as Astro Bot is. Superb. 100% my game of the year

Yay it's back. Very close to getting back a £5 voucher again so in the words of Alan Partridge 'Jurassic park!!!'

Yeah nothing suspicious about some taking over 11 mins to get 10 out of 10.

We can all get 10 out of 10 if we Google every answer. I'll stick with my honestly earned 7/10 thanks 🤣
