I dropped everything, can someone come round and help me pick it up please?

Will definitely be trying Warriors: Abyss and Monster Train. Squirrel With A Gun looks like it could be a brain off, press buttons kind of good time, and I've already played the rest that I'm interested in. All in all a decent month.

It wouldn't surprise me if this was always the intended name, and calling it Pickmon was just to drum up some discourse so people actually cared about the game in some way.

@J2theEzzo Aw man, Peeve is the greatest!

One of the most recognisable voices in the business, but why would him doing the advert want me to play a game without him in it? I'll just go play ME again, or watch Spawn, if I want to hear more of his voice.

@Balaam_ This would be the perfect way to end the first trailer.

PLEASE tell me Jesus Simulator was taken down on Good Friday.

LotF is a great get for any soulslike fans who haven't already played it, and I've already got TR so I might try SAO if the mood takes me. Decent month if you've not got any if them already though.

It's on my wishlist, but like the general consensus it'll be a wait for sale kind of game for me.

Flashy promo video, if the gameplay is anywhere near as fluid as suggested it could be alright. I'll look forward to some footage.

I got it at launch for the Switch, it's as good as the first one, anyone who enjoyed that will have a great time with it.

A decent one for those interested in soulslikes. I've just stepped back in to work towards the platinum myself, so I hope others enjoy it too.

This would be enough to bring me in again. I played the hell out of it at launch and have been looking for a reason to go back in.

@MARl0 Or slap AI IMAGE DO NOT USE across the front, so at least it's obvious enough to be caught before release (not condoning the use of genAI, just there are plenty of ways to avoid it being in the final product)

I also loved playing this game, and also got the platinum, but yes, that one trophy was an absolute pain and was just a checklist exercise to finish off an otherwise brilliant game. More people should play it.

South of Midnight is the one I'm most excited about, Starfield interests me but not enough to buy immediately, and I've never heard of Kiln. I'm good with Avowed at the moment.

The breaking if street dates is a supplier/outlet issue moreso than a consumer one, so why shouldn't you get to play a game that's been delivered ahead of time? It's not as if you've broken any laws to get the game early, and you shouldn't be held back from playing something you bought just because the delivery got messed up.

Plus then what happens if the required update is broken, or you lose online connectivity before the release date hits and then can't play the game you've paid for? Physical games should be playable without having to be connected online, simple as.

This'll only stop the children themselves being able to buy the games. It's a positive change, but as others have pointed out, it won't stop parents letting their kids play games they shouldn't. I know for a fact that a number of parents at my kids' primary school let theirs play GTAV, and they couldn't (or shouldn't) have been able to buy it for themselves.

Also just the ability to turn off the microtransactions/loot boxes isn't enough info, how easy is it to do so? Can it be undone just as easy? Can the kid just turn it on and off as they like?

That's like saying "I don't like the screaming in metal music, they should release a version without it". I also don't do scary games, but I simply don't play the games I find are too much for me. I don't have a right or necessity to be able to play every game that releases, so I pick the ones I am likely to enjoy.

Plus, I have discovered that watching playthroughs of horror games is something I am able to enjoy, so I just find a youtuber I like and treat it more like a watchalong movie party.

Moira's back!

Will give Metal Eden a try myself but I own the others I'd be interested in already.

@Fluberuper I've tried playing Technomancer so many times. The setting is really intriguing, but that's about all it has going for it. Everything else about it just misses entirely.

I'm optimistic that I'll enjoy it as I did the original (especially with the mention of it feeling like DA:O) but it's not on my list of 'need to buy' at the moment, so it can wait until I have more time for it.

Glad this ended the way that it has. I get why the legal reps jumped on it, better safe than sorry, but in this case it's just a timing thing and everyone gets what they want in the end.

Thank god I don't play Fortnite, what an absolute con. The amount of money they already have coming in isn't enough?

It's ridiculous that I could be buying the same game as someone else at the exact same time from the same place and be charged a different amount for it for no reason other than 'it's different for you'.

I feel like I can confidently say this is the first time a title of an article has included the word 'lesbians', and no, I am not searching the Push Square website to confirm.

Avowed by default, but I'm yet to play DQ7R (loved the demo) or Romeo as the other 2 games I would have bought last month.

I could understand these kind of comments if there was actually a disparity between what critics & reviews said about the game and what players thought, but the general consensus is that the game is just plain bad. Sad that more people are losing their jobs over it, but just accept you made a subpar product and move on.

Yep, end a game's online service that costs money to maintain, sure. But make sure anyone who wants to continue playing has a way to do so. Seems fair enough to me.

@Max_the_German Hey great minds

ESO wasn't showing on my selection looking at the PS Plus menu on the app, but when I searched for it the 'Gold Road Collection' showed as included so I was able to add it to my library. Just as an FYI for anyone who doesn't see it.

@playstation1995 @Mr_Vengeance1980 I have to agree. I picked it up in this sale after recommendations as a couch co-op game to play with the wife and we're loving it.

Where's the option for "No, I'm a big wimp and can't play horror games"? Not for me, for...someone else...

Though I have already started watching a playthrough of it though.

A shame to see the industry in this state, if smaller scale studios keep going under we'll have nothing but huge 'blockbuster' releases with a price that keeps increasing, and indie titles that have to compete for exposure in a saturated market. I hope, but don't expect, it'll improve soon.

@rat-paradise What a contrived pun...I love it.

I love the collection-based idea of a gacha game, but I hate the monetisation of them and F2P games in general. This has my interest piqued.

Downloaded and ready to play, once I get round to it tomorrow. Curse these 6pm UK game unlock times!

I'd advise anyone interested in narrative adventures to play Paradise Killer. Not too long to finish and it's got a really interesting world and setting.

@Shepherd_Tallon Exactly this. It's how I got through Elden Ring, difficulty doesn't bother me as long as it's balanced or, as you mentioned, I have the option to go somewhere else and improve/level up a bit.

With such a range of quality on the PS5 already, I think we 'd benefit from more time for games to reach a higher average level on the current hardware. Then we can see more of a proper jump for PS6 when we're hitting the top end of what the PS5 can do.

That and a lot of people won't be able to afford one with financial outlooks as they are at the moment.

Spider-Man 2 is great for anyone that doesn't already have it. I'm excited to try Neva myself.

20 fighters is still a massive number of combinations to have to figure out (unless some combos come out broken) so I'm good with that total.

Plus I trust Arc to have it pretty well figured out given their history.

I love Horizon, but I have an inconsistent track record with multiplayer titles. I'll have to wait and see more before deciding to bite.

Might have to get Pirate Yakuza at that price, I'm in the mood for some stupid action game.

Also, I'm pretty sure you can get the PS5 upgrade for Divinity: Original Sin 2 for free, so that's a plus.

I picked it up on PS5 recently because I'm not upgrading to Switch 2 any time soon, and I am enjoying it, but it's not pulling me back over other games. Even my 9yo would rather play MK8 for the 3,000th time than play this brand new similar title.

The only one I'm interested in is Ultros, but only because I already have AC7 (which is excellent). Otherwise it's an alright selection thanks to the variety

Code Vein 2 for me, as it's the latest soulslike release. And I'm very close to getting platinum for Borderlands 3 with my wife, so that'll be on the list as well.

I really didn't gel with it when I tried it, and as such I've stayed away from the sequel too, but I want to try it out again because of the praise they both get.

This could be a really cool mechanic if it is successful, I can understand why they want to put the time in to get it right.

This would be nostalgia central for me, Rayman was probably my most played PS1 game.
