Resi 2, Blood and Truth and .. Um ... Cat Quest 2.
Cat Quest 2 for the 2 player with my 10 year old son. Probably not a game I would have touched without multiplayer but, as any parent knows, any game you can play together that your child really invests in, makes the game infinitely better.

Pretty leisurely with the details for this month. They better have sumptin' jooosy planned!!

1) Last of Us
1) God of War (1st equal)
3) Horizon Zero Dawn
Spidey deserves a mention. As does Arkham Asylum/City.

Resi 4 has been well dethroned for me. Resi 2 Remake and 7 (in VR) both trump it. Obviously 4 will always be the most influential but the years, the amount of times ive played it (and those boring, muddy graphics) have watered down my love for it. Res 3 was defo (by far) my favourite of the original PS trilogy. I really loved 5 as well.

The game looks really dated, drab and muddy now even the HD versions. This was a tough one but, yeah, i'd love a Resi 4 remake. . . fingers crossed.

Intro made me wish u could switch to FPS (like GTA5) and PSVR (unlike GTA5).

Weird reviews for this one. Seems to have really polarised the critics.

Titanfall 2 is good BUT its usually dirt cheap. That Monster Bike thang is a sneaky/crappy inclusion!! How they thought they could palm us off with that shovel ware is mind boggling. They've heard the protests before .... whoever picked that game KNEW nobody would want it!!

Please .... no....
Please .... no...
Please ... no ...

"By not even MENTIONING Labo VR you are seriously just as bad as Phil Spencer."
Its pretty apparent that were talking about dedicated VR headsets here ... the Switch doesn't qualify i'm afraid. (This should be blatantly obvious.)
I hope your really young coz if not, Dude, you've got issues! Accusing someone of hypocrisy for not mentioning Labo in an article regarding dedicated VR headsets... wow!!
"Many folks would say PSVR isn't real VR either compared to Oculus or Vive" ... um, no they wouldn't. Ive never heard any publication state that PSVR isnt real vr due to the lower resolution. The libraries are slightly different and, apart from the resolution, the experience is almost identical. So, by your reasoning ... "Thats like saying some people would say the Genesis isnt a real console compared to the SNES." . . . um ... no... They wouldn't.
At least in future, make sure your analogy holds water before posting stuff .... its less embarrassing.

I'm assuming PSVR 2 on PS5 will be backwards compatible with PSVR on PS4. Thats a hell of a head start for Sony and it might be a bit late for Xbox to be starting from scratch. Ive got 120 PSVR titles and it really does have everything you would want. Imagine the next iteration when cables, screen door, draw distance, resolution, pop in are not issues ..... its a pretty appealing proposition.

Enjoyed it. Way too brief though. Some head scratching moments that feel genuinely satisfying when you figure em out. Probably speed run the entire thing in 5 mins once you know what to do. Much as I enjoyed it ... £12.99 does seem a little steep. Hopefully a couple of free DLC levels will sweeten the deal.

No prob with sneaking an easily deletable ad icon on the home screen. No where near as sinister and offensive as when U2 surreptitiously infiltrated my iTunes and "gifted" me with their latest "music"!

Loved this on Switch but some serious bugs almost ruined it for me. 3 times I grinded for over 2 hours, then headed for the sand level and it froze on the loading screen. . . exact same fault 3 times. It obviously doesnt save when you travel between levels coz I lost ALL my Sparklite (9,000+) i had grinded for. Only saves when you die. Also got caught behind bushes umpteen times with no way to get out... again .. had to pull the plug and lost my progress.

Blood and Truth was great. Spent 22 hours in No Man's Sky VR then stopped playing. Was enjoying it ... just got bogged down with all the harvesting/crafting... Didnt feel rewarding enough. Still, a great achievement that it can be played in VR.

PS Store sales are generally great BUT ... no VR games at all in this one??? Disappointing.

Outlast 2 was enjoyable but a bit of a let down after the first game and DLC. . . too long and unfocussed. Think thats what happens when a small dev gets a bigger budget but doesn't know how to use it best. The parts in the school really spoiled it for me. Never played Nioh though. Good month if you don't have either.

Was really on the fence with my vote .... ANYTHING that can make me think twice before auto-selecting GoW has to be great. Had to go with my heart and choose Last of Us. Replaying it now (play it once every year) and I think it might just be my fave game of all time. I always liked the Uncharted stories and cutscenes BUT the wave combat felt awful to me. Horizon Zero is prob my 3rd and Spidey 4th.

I thought ot was a mandatory prerequisite that ALL future PS4 games were to have a Pro mode.

Its prob not good for single guys (like me with 2TB of the stuff combined with a deluxe FL "toy" ) to get into this. You get so indifferent about dating/girls in general. Had no idea the PS4 media player worked with these (mine are all dual pic sbs vids from torrent sites). Been paying monthly for PS4 littlstar and that really is a game changing (if somewhat creepy) experience!!

Great!! Now when the hell is Star Child coming out??

Looks and plays atrocious on Switch. Background/textures remind me of Resi 2 on PS1. Why did Konami even bother finishing this ... they must've known it was crap after they play tested the first 5 mins. I'd have been way too embarrassed to even release the demo in that condition but at least we can see how bad it really is before purchasing.

I consider myself a bit of a seasoned Metroidvania player and I dont know if I've not read something in the game but I played 35hrs of this and i'm at 37% completion. There seems to be zero direction at all in the game. No idea what all the collectibles are/do. Ive wandered about all the areas I can and have no idea where i'm supposed to go next. Zero signposting at all. Sometimes there'll be nothing in a certain screen ... then when I go back theres a major plot progression character in the same screen. Finding it quite a frustrating play.

Batman is fantastic but I have it. Darksiders 3 is pants ... a real franchise killer (a la Resi 6, Dead Space 3).

PLEASE NO!! Resi Evil and Co-Op spin off .... have we not witnessed this sacrilege before? YEUGH!!

Arkham Knight is exceptional ... the Batmobile was the highlight for me, absolutely adored crashing round Gotham in Michael Keaton's Batmobile. Darksiders 3 was an absolute shocker though.

The original review I read for this described it as an "Infinite Space Sandbox"!!! .... yeuch, what a turn-off! Took the plunge today as its only £15.99 on PS Store. Doubt I woulda touched it without the VR implementation. Graphics in VR could be better ... even at this scale. Played it couple hours .. pretty good so far. Is there actually a narrative .... or do i just fumble about planets doing the same thang ad infinitum??

Got Wipeout. Sniper Elite always looked not bad though. Looking 4ward to it.

I was all physical until I got a pro as well.... sharing software between two ps4s ultimately means my son and I have access to 2 copies simultaneously. Going all digi was a no brainer.

Got this on store sale yesterday. £19.99 ... glad I waited few weeks. Brilliant game. Jumpin through shattering windows in slow mo, or dj'ing in a club before destroying it are amazing. Can u skip the interview crap on your second playthrough. Would love to play it through again after completion but only the action levels.

This is great for me ... Blood and Truth almost half price already. Too many to chose from. Golf VR, Exorcist, Spidey.

If they had to switch from Pro eEv to Detroit .. imagine the backlash if they tried to offload that PoS BattleFront 2 on subscribers.

These sales are getting worse for me. Theres only bout 2 VR games on sale.

Pretty miserable for the ones eagerly anticipating PES. The easy/decent solution would be to gift Detroit on top of Pro Ev and Turbo. Im happy enough with Detroit. Been meaning to snap it up for a while.

Will PS Plus be needed on PS5? .... wait for it ........ "PROBABLY!!!"
Thanks for clearing that up.

Win for me. Detroit would be in my top 3 most desirables!!!

Ive not been able to find "latest releases" since the android app update few weeks ago. All thats there is "new games" ... which inexplicably lists 100s of unreleased, upcoming games. . . ie, completely useless.

Anyone know how to find the Latest Releases list on the Android app now?Theyve removed the Latest Releases tab and All Games takes you to the unreleased ones.

Bought this on release but only got round to playing it (properly) last week. Great game. The ONLY rogue-like Ive ever persevered with. Think the genre was what put me off playing it for so long. Really has a very addictive loop with the suit and weapon upgrades. Can't imagine it being anywhere near as atmospheric without VR.

They should defo start throwing in VR games. I also think if you have purchased the the games on PS Plus already then your account wallet should get some extra credit. Youre basically getting penalised for your support.

Got/Got!
Pants!!!

Enjoyed it, finished it in 1 afternoon and thought ... "um, is that it?" The gameplay was nice, some great scenes but some major annoyances also. For starters the basketball "mini game" is appallingly conceived and executed even worse. The nets are miles away and the further you try and throw it, the less it moves.... pulled a muscle attempting it!! GRRR. When asked to get ingredients for an apple pie Lewis says "I wish we had a something like a whisk to stir the pot" .... I (foolishly) looked about for an hour and a half at his suggestion, finding a spade and a large needle... surely one of these would do? Nope ..... JUST USE YOUR GHOST FINGER!!! GGGRR!!! The puzzles are rarely logical and the "hint system" thats explained is a complete misnomer. The story doesn't delve into the illness at all. We briefly get a "mum's sick" ... then were magicked 6 months later where all is well. Its like they completely ran outta ideas for a last chapter .... so didnt bother writing one. For £20 I expected more than an afternoon of playtime. Really enjoyable touching game but not sure its worth more than £7.50 - £10.

GOT, GOT!!

@Kiloman74
... thats EXACTLY what I said ... 8/10 is "good".... with so many top tier games available, why would I spend my money on "good" games when I can spend the same amount on "exceptional" games. Vampyr, DSiders and latest Tomb Raider were all subpar. . . and thats being kind.

... im not missing it ... i'm choosing to not pay £44.99. I'll get it eventually. Last game I bought on release was God of War. Thats the kind of quality that I pay top dollar for. Anything less, I wait a couple of months. Thanks for your concern though ... im deeply touched.

@3MonthBeef
... Ridiculous i'd rather spend my money on a 9 or 10 than an 8?? ... That seems illogical?

@TalentedGamer
Wouldnt waste time on a 6.

@Jake3103
... its a high "good" ... I prob wouldn't pay a £44.99 premium for "good" these days, given what I could get on PSN sales for that.

8/10 is my wait for a sale score.

Played it briefly, finished it ... liked it. Nice as a small taster but defo not wanting to play the demo to death b4 the game is released. Would rather discover any secrets during the main playthrough.
