@FinneasGH My bad! Reading is hard 😂

Edit: I read it wrong...erasing my question

Super excited for this to come out of early access. Indies are saving the immersive sim genre.

I just played through Suicide Squad and it's not THAT bad, but it isn't good, and it especially sucks with what they did with the storyline. What a waste. It almost feels spiteful how disrespectful it was to their own legacy. It's like the dev team was their own suicide squad, killing themselves while killing their take on Batman.

@Perturbator There's an "unofficial" mod for the PC version made by one of the actual devs that puts Weird West into first person. It's not 100% perfect, but it's 98% perfect in my opinion, and I'd recommend it if you have a PC to play it on.

Smart move. Hope this is successful for them.

I played through it on PC the other day and loved it. It's a dark, surreal, sometimes funny walking sim that subverts expectations for how video games work/play. The story was quite interesting and very well written in my opinion, and I would highly recommend it if you like the genre and artsy movies/games. Took me a bit less than 4 hours to finish.

Love imsims and this one looks interesting. Haven't pulled the trigger on PC as I typically don't play early access games, so hopefully this does mean a 1.0 version is on the horizon.

I'm not sure Dave the Diver is for me, but might as well give it a shot for no extra cost. Animal Well could be good, too.

@breakneck This remake isn't really an imsim in my opinion, so I would consider that in your decision. I still liked the game when I played in on PC last year, but it doesn't have many of the qualities that are typically used to describe immersive sims. It's not very similar to System Shock 2 (or even Bioshock) as far as depth of system interactions and opportunities for player creativity. I went into it thinking it was something it isn't and was slightly disappointed over it. On the other hand, Paper Mario Thousand Year Door is, one of, if not the best, turn-based RPGs ever made imho. Can't say for sure if they mess up something in the Switch version of course. As a lover of both imsims and Paper Mario, I would say get Paper Mario first, and wait for System Shock remake to go on sale.

Intentional information gap headline

I played through the Lost Levels last night but that's probably about as much as I'm going to get out if it. Not really interested in No Return and life is too short to replay games I've already beaten

An incredible remake of an amazing game. 10/10

@Kyushutrail Yes, because it's also a great game. While it's not absolutely necessary to enjoy Requiem, you would definitely get more out of it if you play Innocence first.

1. RE4 Remake
2. Alan Wake 2
3. Amnesia: The Bunker
4. Dead Space Remake
5. Jedi Survivor
Runner ups: Hogwarts Legacy, Cocoon, Remnant 2

Played so many more amazing games on other systems this year, too. And then a bunch more games I want to play but still haven't even been able to get to yet.

Best year in gaming of all time!

Wanting to do something and having plans to do something are different concepts that don't conflict with each other

If it's separate, I will buy the upgrade. If not, there is no way I'm playing through the entire game again.

@Khayl It is deceptive, actually. "Bloodborne PS5" is not a thing, and the headline does not mention mods or this being unofficial.

One of the worst games I've played in a long time. Its not fun or interesting at all outside of the visuals. I would recommend skipping it even if you think it looks cool. Just watch a full game walkthrough on YouTube and have a much better experience.

The entire Bioshock series is a massive loss.

I will resub if it's Alan Wake remastered

Please play Deus Ex if you haven't already. If you like games like Dishonored and Bioshock, you will not regret it. Sorry, it's my favorite franchise and I want to spread the love!

Very impressive lineup! I will resub for sure.

@videoman190 Last November Jason Schreier tweeted that Eidos Montreal is very early in development on a new Deus Ex game 😎

RE4 DLC please! I'd love to know too what they're planning next for RE, but I don't think we will see anything about 9 or another remake for a while.

So far, so good!

Anyone know what time the DLC launches?

If you lose your job to AI then you're not doing a good enough job

Remakes for both would be amazing.

Dead Space 3 would need heavier changes, I agree with that, but it's not even close to as bad as people like to say it is. Pretty sure a bunch of the DS3 haters are phony bologna band wagon riders who have never even played it before. It's still a good game, and leagues above something like RE6. If you're whining about the 100% optional and unobtrusive microtransactions, then simply ignore them - problem solved - as again, they are 100% optional and unobtrusive.

@djlard @BeerIsAwesome "Boomer" is short for "baby-boomer." Maybe you already knew that, but it seemed like something worth pointing out. Lots and lots of kids that generation --> baby boom.

I let my subscription lapse. OlliOlli ruined my first Dual Shock 4 thumbstick so I'm done with those. I have Evil Dead from the EGS giveaway a couple months ago, and D2 and Mafia aren't for me. I'll join again when something I'm more interested shows up.

My top 5 by time played:

Horizon Forbidden West
God of War Ragnarok
Metro Exodus
Spider-Man
Deathloop

The hour counts seemed WAY off compared to in-game hour counts. Wondering how they counted pausing or having the game on resume.. For example it said I played Horizon for 84 hours but my in game time was something like 55 as I recall. There is no way I put 84 hours into that game. GoWR was also off by about 20 hours.. Weird. It said Deathloop was 28 hours for me and I believe that is accurate or very close if I'm remembering correctly. Strange.

Dang, that was the only game I was looking forward to in that line up

I know AV2 didn't live up to the original for a lot of people, but I'm still excited to play it and find out for myself. It's been on my wishlist since it came out, so getting it for "free" is definitely means this month is a winner from my perspective.

I played Jedi back when it was on Game Pass, and also own it on PC from when it was free on Origin about a year ago, but won't say no to claiming it on PS5 as well. Hopefully a lot of people play it and then get the sequel when it comes out. I would love to see Jedi become a robust series in the franchise!

Fallout 76 I have access to on Game Pass but I've never been into any Fallout games let alone the "worst" one, so, this one is whatever to me.

Pretty good month overall!

I played The Council earlier this year, and I don't regret it exactly, but I wouldn't say you're missing out on anything if you dont play it. I think the skill tree concept works for the genre, but it runs poorly to say the least, and the game itself is just not very good.

I might check out Electronic Super Joy for a minute just for fun before it goes.

I'd take back those words that have hurt you

Deus Ex????????????????????????? 😭😭😭😭 I'm so happy right now

Just unlocked on Steam. Downloading now.

It'd be great of they remade (and maybe even expanded) Uncharted: Golden Abyss. I'd buy that again for sure.

Or The Order 1886 is one that could use a thorough reimagining, but I'm pretty sure that one is dead forever.

Tbh, if they added even 30 minutes of new content to TLOUP1, I would have bought it for $70 day one because I'm an idiot for stuff like that.

The remaster and remake of Shadow of the Colossus couldn't be played on the same system though, and the remake price at launch was less than the original, not more. It's not a great comparison. If TLOUP1 was $39.99 and the PS5 didn't have backwards compatibility, there would be a lot less people complaining about it's existence. I also don't remember the SOTC remake having an intentionally misleading marketing campaign.

This game is both brilliant and special imo. The complaints in these comments are blowing things out of proportion to say the least.

I beat the early access version on Game Pass for PC. It's an awesome game, and I highly recommend it to fans of Doom and the like.

Trying not to get my hopes up too high but dang, it looks incredible

I might play it when if possible to "beat" it. Otherwise I'm not really interested.

Cool site! I'd love to see one for PC, too!

"built from the ground up for PS5" 🙄

I just can't beat the final level in the main game. Anyone who's played this DLC, is it harder than that? Or is it on par with the main game outside of the final level?

This game is pretty fun, but my friends and I dropped off it fairly quickly thanks to the Turbo Golf Racing beta. This will bring us back to Roller Champions for at least a few more rounds.

@Steve30000 Not the same dev team

Not bad! I'm about to go download a ton of these!

Starting with:
The Council
Demon's Souls
Little Hope
Observer: System Redux
Shadow Warrior 3
