Awesome, instabuy

Both Onimushas & Returnal 2 (Saros).

I pld High on Life on gamepass for a good while but didn't finish it, waiting for a proper sale since then. This is even better
Apart of that, not the best month anyway...

Will test out Forspoken for some good laughs about the horrible writing. Premium collection might be great for Cooper fans, not my cup of tea though.

From the selection:
1. Dragons Dogma 2
2. Stellar Blade
3. Space Marine 2
4. Still wakes the deep
5. Nine Sols

Not that straight forward that I hoped for... I think there are some interesting challenges there (i.e. not getting hit by Kain in the first boss fight or touch no water while climbing the cathedral).
Soul Reaver 2 is just a DLC list for Soul Reaver 1 which is quite a bummer.

For me this is a nostalgic 10/10 no matter what. Recently platinumed Blood Omen 1&2 via premium and just immersed myself into Defiance again in wait for this release, so looking forward to it 😅

Got myself some Indies: Butcher Special Edition, Squad 51 vs Flying Saucers, 9 Monkeys of Shaolin, Postal: Brain Damaged and Exo One (pld this on gamepass already and absolutely loved it).
Gonna say it again and again (and again 😜), when you're into psychological horror and a little bit walking simulator/re 7 style gameplay (yes, it has shooting), do yourself a favor and get 'In Sound Mind'. The 4 bucks are very well worth it.
Also some great offerings for retroshooter fans: 'Exhumed' and 'Rise of the Triad' available. Both are great remasters.
If you like old school arcady beat em up (sort of Street of Rage, but from top down view) you want to look into 'Redeemer', thats pretty cool too.

In preparation of the Soul Reaver Remasters I plan to platinum Blood Omen 1&2.

I'm into BO6s campaign via gamepass, tomorrow maybe some.Silent Hill 2.

On my German account there's no cashback at all, on my US account there's only 10$ per 2500 points..

Well it was a PS2 game ;] I remember playing it back in the day on PC and it was somewhat frustrating, never completed it though. I think there would be better alternatives from this era to be remastered, which still hold up or are fun today like Psi Ops, Area 51 or The Suffering. I dunno getting The Thing strongly depends on its asking price, max 20 €...

Do yourself a favour and spend 4 bucks on "In Sound Mind". Awesome game and a steal for that price ☺️

"Pinball M" sounds nice and although it's not on sale, will get me some slo-mo fun with "El Paso, elsewhere".

I snagged it pretty cheap on amazon.fr, downside is that delivery will take a week longer then usual. Was sceptical at first from the first preview videos, but after the latest gameplay reveals was pretty convinced that it'll be good. Also have no high stakes in it. I played it in the past on PS2 and PC but it wasn't my cup of tea then (unlike part1). So I'm really looking forward playing it with a fresh twenty year later perspective

From the first gameplay video my interest in this game died down instantly. The more recent clips didn't rectify that, a shame really.

I had the absolute fortune to had the gold edition delivered two days early, the game is an absolute blast and all I've hoped for. My GOTY now I think it hasn't been mentioned, but dual sense rumble is also pretty good.

@somnambulance
Thanks for the explanation. Might give this a try next month then.

Since my budget is a little thin for games this month, I decided to go for Bleak Faith instead, which is a very cool game this far (gameplay a little rough, but oh my god the atmosphere, music and world is awesome). What would you compare Wukong too? Stellar Blade with Ape? Or more like Enslaved?

I think theres an hdd-image around somewhere in the internet, so u could install the pt files on a blank ps4 without needing to hack something, but I think you need the license to play it, can't remember the whole process, but u may google it... and I can at least verify that it worked

Playing it on gamepass right now and I think I'm homing in on the end. Pretty solid game this far, doesn't overstay it's welcome, stealth sections are brief and tension always held up, although there are some humerous elements which lighten up the mood. Think I'll buy this on PS5 later to enjoy it with better performance, since I'm playing on Series S.

@Kidfunkadelic83
I feel it harder to NOT fill the bar....It's so stuck in my head to collect.all stuff 🫣

@BIG3
Cheers m8, hope it's the solution ☺️

@BIG3
You thought about building them first? Just buying them isn't enough.

Always take store credit with stars, too. Funny enough I had a ton on my alt account where my premium is running on... Never thought that the monthly fee for premium also rewards stars

I never pld the original System Shock, although I'm old enough but since Prey I didn't have so much fun with an immersive sim, so it's pretty clear, that this truly is the source of the genre.

Have been playing the thing for the last 2.5 hrs and it's pretty awesome. Great presentation and sound design (as you can imagine if you know Pt. 1), gameplay is more of the same but well that mustn't be a bad thing for a sequel. So far I'm looking forward to continue playing and also would play and crave a PS5 port. Since I'm playing on a Series S I'd expect clearer resolution and higher FPS but it's no real prob on Series S as well at how the game is paced.

I booked gamepass on my series s again in preparation for Hellblade 2. So I went back into the original Senuas Sacrifice and also Max Payne 3... On PS5 I started Banishers and I'm pretty amazed by it's great presentation and bleak atmosphere.

After platinuming Dragons Dogma 2 (which is my GOTY so far) I'm onto Stellar Blade and RE7 PS5 version... Just want to play something familiar again

It's waiting on my PS5 now... Since I've had some afterwork drinks it might not be the most productive session, but I'll give it a try. Looking forward to it. What kind of censorship are we talking about except for that one graffiti oder sign that was censored?

This game feels exactly like its predecessor, awesome world, great graphics, janky gameplay and somehow esoteric systems. I feel a little bit lost when playing it but it's fun anyways and I'm intrigued how the story plays out. I think its way overrated though but I'm roughly 10hours in. Currently I'd give it a very good 7/10.

Beat demo and boss mode and it's pretty awesome. More the likes of DMC or Bayonetta. Already preordered the deluxe edition.

So Borderlands 4 will finally be funded by Take2 and not another publisher again? xD

Immortal is way better then some reviews make it out to be, af least it's a fresh setting and genuine title. Also the shooting feels good. I didn't regret buying it some time ago.
Looking forward to Skul. Decent month I'd say.

@LiamCroft
Can you tell us something about the dual sense support, pls?

I loved the first game but it was tough love, completed it two times for the platinum and never could bring myself to play it again ever since, although I bought the remastered version some years later 😅 I'll get Rise of Ronin on 22nd and save DD2 for another time... After Stellar Blade... 😁

Played this on GP but tbh didn't understand the fuzz about it. But to each his own

Finally!! 💞 In own this on PC already, but dislike playing on PC for longer instances, looking forward to cozy couchplay ..

@Prime_Objective
Excellent, thank you!

I'm pretty fresh into the game and loving every minute. Could someone tell me pls what might happen with the old premium tier which I recently bought?

Finally convinced two buddies to get it, so we could play together. Turned out both of them would've loved to play it but didn't want to make the first step 😅 game is pretty cool will sink some hours into it for sure.

Tbh Ninja Theory and Bethesda hurt the most when aquired by MS. I voted for Hellblade, Dishonored and Elder Scrolls. Also Quantum Break and Gears of War since I'd love to play those with trophy support again
If somehow this rumor is true and they even somehow make backwards compat a reality on PS5 it would be awesome

"Rocksteady's Big Gamble Just About Pays Off" uhm... no? The game sucks. Just seeing any videos of it makes me recall the horrible beta. The floating numbers and flashy stuff flying all around, the horrible traversal and the boring gameplay. No thanks, ok it's just not for me, if you have fun with it, go for it. But this is never ever a 7/10. Just started Arkham Origins via PS Plus streaming yesterday, that was a PS3 game and still looked and played better, than this mess.

Will be split between Cyberpunk and Rogue Trader.

Pretty cool. I recently (40hrs playtime xD) started my 2nd run on PS5, after finally platinuming it on PS4 backcompat. The changes that were made since 1.6 are fantastic. I love the whole focused approach.to the loot, the populated city and streets. I'm virtually not using the quicktravel since it's so much fun to drive around now. And the changes to the skill system are very welcome. Really love the game now oh and Phantom Liberty is just awesome as a fan of Escape from New York

"multiplayer fps" yawwwnnn...

Rise of Ronin and Stellar Blade are the only titles I'm looking forward atm. Hope the System Shock Remake will have a release this year.

I pld the original PoP on an 286 with monochrome display and enjoyed most of the newer PS2 titles. The demo was pretty cool on this one, unfortunatly I think it's too expensive atm and I'm just on my 2nd Cyberpunk run But will play it in the future

Tbh I didn't even register that something was missing, so I was rather surprised to receive them. Thanks for the 5 eur store credit

This was surprisingly good? Fun gameplay, tight platforming. Price of admission is too high atm, but I'll get this sometimes in the future.
You don't play the prince btw but an Immortal (of the persian emperor).

Also was part of the beta and tbh this thing was a mess. Boring world, boring gameplay, uninspired shooting and horrible traversal. The controls didn't make any sense and the melee attacks felt implemented in the last second. How this tranformed from a solid and fun fighting and stealth game (which at least I'd expect from Rocksteady) to this is beyond me and I solely believe the suits were responsible. One thing was cool though, the FMVs but I don't think any good story will save this.

Ah c'mon guys,.don't take this list so serious... It's just a game after all .Let's celebrate an awesome year of great titles. My no. 1 will be BG3 for sure but besides the usual suspects there is also Avatar (which totally flew below the radar I guess) Robocop or some of the great shooter remasters (Quake 2, Rise of Triad). Oh and one release from 2021 but which was/is recently on sale "In Sound Mind" my personal gem this year. Even feel bad just to have spent 4 bucks on it. Truly recommended.

Nothings decided yet, Robo Cop ftw!
