Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

Currently playing through RE2 REmake, definitely very scary so far, even though it is only a game, after all, but, yeah, I have met my first NPC and am starting to work out what sort of strategies to use against the undead hordes!, great game so far!

@BlAcK_SwOrDsMaN Aim for the head.

I’m currently playing The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak. I just finished the lengthy prologue, but it’s incredible so far. I have a lot of thoughts I’ll share this upcoming weekend, but man, this game is fantastic.

Finally beat Shadow of the Erdtree! It was a phenomenal DLC packed with more content than some standalone whole games!

Loved every part of it just like the main game!

@Zuljaras Congrats!

@BlAcK_SwOrDsMaN how is nioh 2 going? What build are you going with?

Edit: I see your playing re2 remake. That is well done from.what I have read ill get around d to it eventually.

@Elodin Yeah Nioh 2 is somewhat beyond my abilities, from what I've seen on YouTube, but RE2 REmake is great. Wrapped up RotR yet? If so, what are you playing now?

@BlAcK_SwOrDsMaN Playing ronin at a slow burn pace. Mixing in some first decendant and started a new bg3 run with my daughter. Will probably start banner lord when it drops on extra.

@Elodin Oh yeah I have heard of banner lord? Have you played it before? Apparently there is some decent Greatsword gameplay to be found in that game.

@BlAcK_SwOrDsMaN I have not played Bannerlords before, but youtuber I follow "Pretorian HiJynx" recently played it and it looked fun. Basically you make your character and rise up through the medieval ranks either as a trader, mercenary, or both. I was going to buy it on sale and then this months extra got announced. Lucky me.

I am making my way through Resident Evil 2: REmake with my infinite ammo sub-machine gun, but, yeah, so far the zombie hordes in the section I just played through haven't really posed a threat, just need a guide to look up the codes to open various safes/locked bureaus in order to progress!

I’m still making my way through The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak. It’s quite a long game. I’m also looking forward to Flintlock — hopefully, the reviews are good. But Jeanne D’Arc is coming out soon and I’ll be all over that.

Got a bit further in Resident Evil 2 REmake - solved a couple of puzzles and killed a few more zombies - making good progress! (I hope).

Edit: Well I've done most of the RPD section of the game and apparently that section constitutes about 60-75% of one character's playthrough.

@BlAcK_SwOrDsMaN you likely are. It’s not a long adventure. Designed with multiple playthroughs in mind.

Tempted to jump in to Star Wars - Jedi: Survivor to get myself nice and ready for the next big Star Wars adventure that I'm looking forward to.

But also thinking of trying Flintlock when it's out to fill the gap left by AC Mirage. Something to just work my way through at a leisurely pace, if it grabs me.

Anyone know when the Flintlock reviews hit?

Astro's Playroom

... This is as delightful and charming as everyone has made it out to be and is one hell of a showcase for the dualsense controller too.

(Since I feel I’m already clogging your feed with pings this’ll be a pingless message) hope you enjoy playroom : DDD it’s one of Japan Studio’s last games before going defunct in 2021 and merging with Team Asobi.

Pfft you can tag, quote and ping me all you like @Yousef- so there

Funny enough I just found the Ape Escape reference going through the PS1 themed world to tie to our other conversation!

I have heard so much hype over Astro's Playroom that I was a little worried that I would do my usual and actually think it's not all that.

But yeah Astro's Playroom truly is charming. It's already sold me on the actual astro game coming out next month and I haven't even finished the third world of this 5 hour tech demo!

@HallowMoonshadow Glad that it’s living up to the lofty expectations! Some consider it PS5’s best game, so unfortunately it might be downhill from here. 😅
Certainly with regard to the DualSense it’s definitely the best use of it. Other games have done a good job with the tech (Returnal comes to mind, among others) but nothing has reached the level of Astro’s Playroom

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Quite good so far having played for a bit. Landing at the first planet and it feels bigger in scale right away, and then more of the same gameplay wise.

I'm still not fully in to the fact it's a souls like/lite or whatever. Having to go back to a certain spot and kneeling to meditate to just make a quick save is always a bit annoying, and resting and respawning the same enemies in the same positions just doesn't feel right with Star Wars, imo, it doesn't fit the narrative or logic of the universe and it is solely for the game itself, making it a bit immersion breaking for me. Handy to farm big monsters to top up your xp though 😁
