Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@LtSarge alrighty. If it at least introduced combat or has some interesting cutscenes then I’ll probably blast through it

@Yousef- What I meant was that I don't think you'll get "free time" so to speak to do side stuff or explore the world. You'll be going through the story, which includes walking around in areas and dungeons as well as engaging in combat.

I finally got the platinum for Ys IX. I can’t wait for Ys X, but in the meantime I will probably play a few shorter games. Astro Bot and the new Legend of Zelda is calling my name.

@Voltan I just finished the demo and it does have time constraints very similar to Persona. Near the end of the demo you have 10 days to finish a dungeon to progress the story. Failing that will result in a game over. The demo ends before the 10 days are up. I didn't see any social interaction with other characters, but you can do activities and requests that will progress time.

@Kraven You are in for a treat with Astro Bot. It's such a joyous game.

@Voltan Same here. I really like the art style for Persona 5, but I was put off by the time constraints and social elements in the game.

@Bentleyma Thanks. It might not be for me then.

Just got my 12th Platinum with Scars Above, good Soulslike Shooter with an easy Platinum

The new FIFA is borderline unplayable. Some of the most insane input lag I’ve ever had, to the point that I’m trying to work out if it’s a feature rather than a bug. Last year’s had really good gameplay, this just does not feel good at all. I think they’re trying to nerf everything to make it more ‘realistic’ but all that happens is that it’s just a chore to play. A massive step back which is a shame because the new Rush mode is one of the best additions in years.

@BeyondKnight I’ve kept an eye on Scars Above. It looked interesting to me. Glad to hear it’s a pretty good game. It’s on sale frequently for like $5.

I'm having lots of fun with Dave the Diver I really like the gameplay loop, the art style, the boss fights, the exploration. It's easy but quite entertaining.

@BeyondKnight I had no idea there was any souls-like elements to Scars Above. Well you’ve just increased my interest-level in the game by about 1000%. It’s in my backlog too… so good to know.

edit. Oh… and congrats on the plat too 👊

@colonelkilgore Thanks, yea it was fun and I am hoping for a sequel

So I mentioned this in the other thread, but I’m playing Vampire Survivors. The thing is, I’m actually playing it on my phone whilst being away from my consoles. And wouldn’t you know it’s starting to get its hooks in me. 😄 It’s a strange little game, for sure.

So I have a question to anyone playing it on PS5 — how does it work with the console version? When you die, do you get at least one extra life or do you have to immediately start over?

The reason I ask is because in the free mobile version when you die, you can continue your progress and be resurrected once if you watch an advertisement. Then after dying again you can’t continue, but you get some bonus gold added if you watch another ad. I’ve been watching the ads and they are about to drive me insane so I might buy the PS5 version.

It would be a good Portal game, I think. And I would very much like to have an actual joystick to control the character rather than that awful touch screen controls. Also, I wish I was getting trophies for this game. I’m popping 4-5 mobile game achievements with each run and I’m sure those would all be trophies if only I was playing on PS5!

@Th3solution I played it on my tablet and phone last year. The ads didn't bother me too much as I would put the device to the side or something, but I would rather not have them fo sho.

Whenever I showed it to someone, they would turn their nose up at it. I would be like "But it won a BAFTA!" 😂

Currently farming runes (souls) in Elden Ring. Moved up to level 30 Str now. About 10 levels to go before I can take on the trolls with relative ease now. (approx) Getting closer. 🤺

I normally play 3 or 4 games at a time. I'm quite the psyco.

Alan Wake 2
Final Fantasy 7 Remake (PS5)
Ghost Of Tsushima

I've beat Alan Wake 2. Currenlty playing the DLC. Looking forward to The LAke House DLC.

Death Stranding and Silen Hill 2 are next up.

5 hours into a hard mode, plasma cutter only run on "Dead Space". It's a fantastic game - on balance I think I prefer it to the "RE4" remake.

@LN78
I've been playing and loving it also. Just normal skill level for me though. Is that your first play through that you're doing it on?

@sorteddan No - this is my second playthrough of the remake and third or fourth total - I played the original on the 360 in the way back when.

@LN78 funny, were playing different 360 horror remakes yet we both preferred it over RE4R. In my case it was Dead Rising.
