@rustym82 - Right I agree with you there, and always support the gamer being able to customize the experience to his/her preference. (And make no mistake about it, I definitely choose the easy/assist mode from time to time, especially in games where I’m not enjoying and/or games where the activity is heavily collectible-based, if that’s what I’m trying to focus on).

Either way, Cronos is a lot of fun and if more people play it from this update, that’s great. I love this genre, and ultimately want to see more games like this made. Also enjoyed these last two games made by Bloober quite a bit (SH2)

This is super sad. RIP.

The Delta remaster felt so unnecessary to me, especially since I already paid $60 for an HD remaster on current console two years ago when the Vol 1 collection dropped.

I wish they’d spent the resources developing Vol 2 instead, i.e I’d love to play like MGS4/Peacewalker on current console.

@rustym82 - I can understand the devs trying to make the game more broadly appealing to the casual audience, since survivor horror is a criminally niche genre and never sells well in the broad scheme of things. This totally makes sense. But I also wish they’d appeal to both sides of the spectrum because there are also masochists who love dying and overcoming challenge in a genre such as this. Difficulty aside, I also wish the combat had a little more depth, a little more nuance. The morphing mechanic is cool because it incentivizes the player to charge headlong into combats rather than hunkering down in a corner and playing cautiously, but once I figured this out I never felt like I was in any danger of dying any longer. The game gives you plenty of resources, and like any Resident Evil game if you just keep moving you should be ok. I remember dying only… once? to a boss near the end (on hard) when I ran out of ammo, but the combat needed like one more mechanic to be really interesting to me. I still give it about an 8/10 but it doesn’t quite reach the combat depth of say Dead Space.

Please note Im not trying to be condescending here (like, play & enjoy the game however you want to, it doesn’t impact my enjoyment of the game) I’m just saying I wish a harder mode than hard existed, for my liking.

Easier? Ah hmm, I would’ve hoped for the opposite. (As a veteran of survival horror, I did not find this game to be difficult.)

Very fun game tho, do give it my recommendation.

It’s also amusing to me that they originally wanted The Outer Worlds 2 for $80, but now two months later it’s on sale for $49. Guess this game really didn’t sell well. Still too much for me, given how bland the first game was.

I’m kinda baffled Silksong is 20% off but Hollow Knight isn’t discounted, and hasn’t been since February per price tracking. Oh well, guess I will continue to not play these games.

I aint gonna read through everything here, and Im no fan of AI, but I feel like going after Larian is the wrong target. I trust Larian.

Really? I was able to get it for $1.99 the day it dropped. Huh, weird.

BMWukong was super fun, probably one of the better games I played in 2025. Looking forward to this one, too.

To be clear, the regular digital edition on the PS Store is $30, not $60 (which is the physical edition)

I’ll probably still wait for a sale for $20 or less.

@ButterySmooth30FPS Yeah the emulated PS2 version is perfectly fine to play as is. It was my first time playing this version of the game, earlier this year, but its limitations didn’t affect my enjoyment of the game any.

Im gonna hold out hope this turns out to be good news, because the initial footage indeed looked concerning, and this game/franchise deserves so much more. This game is possibly one of my top 5 favorite games of all-time, a game I’ve come back to across multiple decades of my life and still enjoy very dearly to this day.

I think it’s worth noting that Phantom Liberty is like one of the greatest DLCs ever made. A rare DLC that extends its base game’s story to such extent that it feels essential/mandatory to the experience.

One of, if not the, best games I’ve ever played. Combination of both the story and the gameplay, which is fun as hell. (I usually play like a melee maniac, katanas & fists)

If they don’t wanna make games, can they at least relinquish the “Nemesis” IP (from Shadow of Mordor) so that other devs can make games w it?

Maybe they shouldn’t have spent ten years developing a bloated remake trilogy.

Interested as long as it has no multiplayer trophies.

@Bluemoon2008 I tend to doubt Playstation’s time tracking anyway (at least what my console/the phone app tells me). I tend to “sleep” a lot of my game sessions and I just resume them from sleep later, and I have doubts that it tracks accurately when one does this.

For instance, my PS App is showing that I 100%ed The Outer Worlds (two base playthru’s plus one DLC) in 15 hours… yeah right. And it’s telling me I’m currently <1 hours into RDR1 even though the IGT shows like 14 hours.

@Nf157 I remember last year, it told you many hours you played each month, what games in each month, etc.

I wish you could compare your stats to prior year stats; like did I play more or less this year, etc?

2200 hours played here tho, not bad for also having a full-time job

Obviously we would all love for this to be true, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Recently played Defiance (and played the Soul Reaver 1/2 remasters a year ago) and bro these games are so good, like the writing and performances in Defiance are incredible to behold.

Honestly I felt liike I ripped off the devs at the $15 price point.

The news we were all hoping for. Ball X Pit is a great friggin game, and it’d be so easy to add new content on top of the base game. Hell, I would even pay money for more Ball X Pit.

The RDR PS5 upgrade is perfect for me. I bought the game last Christmas, and have never played the game. Looking forward to jumping in!

I guess this is ok, since I don’t partake in these microtransaction purchases, so I guess others will be subsidizing free updates to the game for me.

Nothing for me there…

Hm, I’d prob pay $2 to have both 1/2 upgraded, but don’t think I care about the new content to spend $15 on 0.

Typically time-limited crossovers do not come w trophies.

It took me the majority of my first playthru to realize it, but you CAN skip (most) cut scenes in this game. You hit Start or Touchpad or something (I forget) during a cutscene to access the skip prompt.

Yeah I mean if they’re going to continue to release buggy & unoptimized games, then it makes a lot of sense to skip the review process where they’d only get called out negatively.

Well, if they dont let me get the discount at BF, then I’ll do it next month at Christmas…

My sub runs out on 11/30. So on 12/1, I can take advantage of this?

Whatever the record is for Most TGA Wins, E33 is going to break it.

Playing Days Gone (PS4) before my PS Plus runs out, which Ive had in my backlog since like 2021. Was noticing that (per PSNProfiles) the PS4 release has a higher recent player count than the PS5 remaster. Guess the remaster wasn’t a success.

Suppose this lasts about as long as Concord

Yeah there are multiple fake Schedule 1 games on the PS Store as well.

Who cares, I don’t expect EVERY month to be a banger. Gives me a chance to focus on my backlog, etc.

Voted Ball X Pit b/c Yotei is gonna win anyway. Enjoyed both games a lot!

Also I’m surprised no Tormented Souls 2 as a choice in the poll.

I think I played at least one of the games in 10 of the last 12 months going backwards. No complaints here

One of the only misses all year long honestly. We had a lot of strong months in 2025.

On one hand, I like the way they do the open world stuff, with foxes or birds or fireflies organically leading you to points of interest as you explore.

On the other hand, I think the side quest design in Yotei is pretty terrible. They’re all a bunch of samey copy/paste “Go here & deal w the ambush that breaks out as soon as you arrive” quests w no variety.

It’s particularly glaring bc Tsushima had the best side quests I’ve ever seen, the way they were integrated into like allied NPC chains that progressed upon each other. The side quests in GoT felt like extensions of the main story, but Yotei is a step back.

About 36 hours in & Im really enjoying it. The combat is definitely improved. The game’s “presentation” is superb. At first, I thought the story was a bit of a downgrade, bit I hafta say Im digging it the more I play!

Already started it this morning before work! Been looking forward to this all year

Maybe later on sale. I want to play it. But if Ive never played it in 28 years, Im not gonna drop everything to go out and spend $50 on it. I already bought Yotei this week, to play this weekend.

I played AW2 already, but Cocoon is the perfect kinda game for PS Plus for me.

Nope, watched a bit on twitch, but the game seemed dull and the combat repetitive.

OMG!!!!! i just gasped out loud

OMG

…So where’s my “reward”?
