Finished Daybreak II (including the final floor of Marchen Garten) yesterday, so this is perfect

@Dalamar You're on a PlayStation website and expect people not to care about a PlayStation-exclusive feature? Genius 🤦‍♂️

Were it 9/10 or 10/10, yes, but since when is a 8/10-rated game a "must play"???

@nessisonett As much as I like Trails, there's just way too much creepy stuff in this series Estelle-Joshua, Tita-Agate as you mentioned, Elise-Rean, Angelica-any girl

Metaphor: ReFantazio, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and don't forget Unicorn Ovelord too!

Good to see this score. Hopefully next month's Lunar Remastered Collection will be just as great.

@Meowmixes98 Or Ys when Trails is not an option

@Hyena_socks Thanks! Now that I think about it, the only game I bought right after release that was perfectly bug-free was Astrobot...

@Hyena_socks Out of curiosity, you've been burned by which hyped-up games?

Last answer to both

No physical, no buy. Driveclub, one of the best racing games ever, is still playable thanks to physical copies being available on the second-hand market. This won't be the case for FH5.

@Nalim Hilarious, isn't it? Couldn't make this stuff up

Thanks for the reminder PushSquare! Just claimed mine.
A 572 MB download size is insanely small, wasn't expecting that!

Oh jeez... Persona 1 and the Persona 2 duology need remakes, Persona 4 doesn't!

Trails through Daybreak II, enjoying it so far despite the criticism

Enjoyed Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami, interested in the rest of the series but there are just way too many of them and they take way too long to complete

Good, we need this kind of U-Turn

Oh boy, here we go again...

The only correct way to start the Trails series is by playing Trails in the Sky FC. Every single subsequent game has minor and major references to every previous games.

I say this as someone who has started with Cold Steel, and not knowing what the hell characters were talking about made me feel lost... Not to mention severe spoilers about major characters in the previous games...

Oh, it will get a Blu-ray release? I'm disappointed, I wanted to purchase it for PS5 on cartridge...

I mean, when "Captured on PC" is what's written at the beginning of one of the PLAYSTATION State of Play trailers, it's hard to take the event seriously

Been with Essential for over 8 years and will stick with this tier.
I genuinely don't understand the appeal of Extra and Premium. Having that much of a quantity of games is bad, and what's the point of having added time pressure to finish games with that limit when it comes to rotating available games? Baffling.

And with that, all that's left is Kai No Kiseki! Hopefully we'll be getting it early 2026, very well done Falcom for getting Trails up to date for us out in the West!

Nice! The Cyber Sleuth duo are excellent games

@TedLassoNikes Spurs will win the Europa League, since Postecoglou always wins a trophy in his second season 😂

Until Dawn (PS5) — £46.79 / $44.99 (22% / 25% off)

This is hilarious

"Kind of, but I just played offline games instead"
Wanted to complete a Gran Turismo 7 Weekly Challenge race or two but couldn't

"Eh, I suppose so"
Not bad, but not great either

And this is why online-only is garbage. It was a mistake when Microsoft put it forward in 2013, and it is still is 12 years later.

@Bionic-Spencer Hopefully 130FC are in EFL League One when FM26 is released

Plan to bingeplay it as soon as it's released on the 14th of February, first time ever I'm glad to be single 😂

The last game I recall selling a million copies immediately is Metaphor ReFantazio

Andrew, there are still two months to go until April Fools' Day. Get yourself an accurate calendar.

Ys Memoire for me

@QiaraIris yeah I noticed that too, Daybreak II's lack of a paragraph is shocking

One of the very rare live service video games that have got it right

PS4 release: November 2013
PS3 PS+ games dropped: February 2019
Time gap: 5 years, 3 months

PS5 release: November 2020
PS4 PS+ games being dropped: January 2026
Time gap: 5 years, 2 months

Coincidence? Think not.

A free upgrade for owners of the PS4 version would be nice

Still feels surreal that we'll only be one game (Kai No Kiseki) behind after Daybreak 2 is released. Falcom have done a sublime job with the Western releases these past three years.

Argh, shame this clashes with Lunar Remastered Collection's release! Glad it's out early than expected though!

Interesting, this is like a Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) / Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (2009) situation

@Steelhead Ys X is an excellent game, enjoy! I'm still disappointed about Falcom doing an Atlus and re-releasing it in an enhanced edition though...

I started Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana last night, the nostalgia is strong with this one, having played the PSP version ages ago!

Wise words. I love my VITAs. Still use them and can Remote Play into my PS4 from anywhere in the world in 2025.

@Rob_230 R1 R1 my man

Hogwarts Legacy at #2 two years after its release is mental!

@AK4tywill Because it's AI "Limit" 😂

On for platinum trophies only

Next year it will be Topspin 2K25's turn

Shutdown before going to sleep
Rest mode during the day or while out and about with the PS Portal packed in

Still happy to stick with my OG PS5 with disc-drive after over 3 years
