@OctolingKing13 Welcome! The forums have been a little quieter lately for some reason, but congrats on your purchase and I hope you find some value in joining the ecosystem.

Have you had a PlayStation console before or is this your first? What kind of games do you like and what are you looking forward to after SM 2?
(I’m also playing SM2 currently and having a really good time with it. I have a few extended thoughts recently over on the Spider-Man thread)
Depending on your situation, you probably have a huge library of quality titles from multiple genres to explore on PS5! If this is your first PS console in a while then PS+ Extra may be worth your while. It’s an excellent collection of great games, lots of exclusives and third party as well on there.

Hello. Welcome to the forums. I hope to get around to SM2 myself at some point as I loved the first two but my library and backlog never seems to get any smaller do no rush, how are you finding it?

Also make sure you check out Astros Playroom assuming that's still free with the console. It's a wondrous joyful, if short, experience. Also about as Nintendo as PlayStation gets.

@Th3solution @sorteddan thanks! this is my first PlayStation console, so I’m really excited to get more games! I’m only five hours into Spider Man 2, but I’m loving the world and the story and combat a lot. It definitely lives up to my expectations so far. I played a bit of Astros Playroom, and was surprised how the free to play title was so charming. There’s a ton of PS games on my wishlist, but right now I’m thinking of buying Horizon Forbidden West or Stray. Or Persona 5 Royal! So many options lol! Anyways thanks again :]

@OctolingKing13 Great to hear that you’ve been enjoying PS5 and Spidey 2.
So yeah, you might enjoy going back to play the first game and the Miles Morales standalone expansion. Horizon is another great one to get into, and the first game, Zero Dawn, can be found really cheap and it might feel more appropriate to have the background of the narrative from the first game before venturing into the sequel. Rumor is that they are releasing a native PS5 remaster/remake of HZD soon, but honestly the PS4 version has a patch so it should run a 60 fps on PS5 and still feel very ‘current gen.’ Personally, I’ve yet to play Forbidden West, but I thoroughly enjoyed Zero Dawn.
Persona 5 is a great game too, and also can be found fairly cheap, I suspect. Stray was a lot more enjoyable than I had anticipated, so it’s also worth a try, especially for when you want a shorter game between longer epics.

That’s one good thing about coming in late — a lot of great older games are not very expensive at this point, and/or are on the PS+ sub service.

Hi! I'm 39yo from the UK. I like rpgs, metroidvanias and weird, niche games. If its stupid in length, shed ton of content, count me in. Been a playstation fan since the beginning. Thank you for having me!

@CosmicJester
Welcome CJ.
I too play a few niche games, well VR games and they don't get more niche than that.

@CaptD I've now completed paradise killer 3 times, if you would have said to me years ago that a vaporwave-esque open world detective game would be one of my favourites I would have looked bemused, yet here we are .

@CosmicJester
Nice, you got your monies worth then.
I do remember watching a review for it quite a while ago (perhaps a couple of years) and it certainly looked interesting and I recall it reviewed pretty well but I wasn't sure it was my bag. Might give it a go if I can sort this backlog out.

@CosmicJester I tried to really like it like I hoped to, but I've tried twice and it just never clicked with me. It doesn't help the completely random word(s) that the characters say that sometimes has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation. It almost would have been better if the characters were completely silent if they weren't going to have full lines of dialogue.

I'm glad you got more than your money's worth out of it though. I will give it another shot someday as I don't like to leave games unfinished unless I absolutely despise them or I literally can't for some reason. I still have it installed.
