@naruball I'm reeeeealllly thick, can you explain your reply to me please...

Terrible sale! Either AAA games over £60 still or 99p shovelware rubbish!

@BritneyfR_ee I'd say the basic tier will let you keep the games as normal. The bigger worry would be, what quality of game are you now going to get on that tier? Most of the big hitters will be put on the more expensive tiers I would think.

It sounds OK. I think if you stick with the Basic plan then you can expect slim pickings with the free games each month. They will reserve the decent ones for the higher tiers to try and get people to sub for more $$. Much like XBOX games with gold.

If the higher tiers want to be considered a success then they are really going to have to up the ante with their offerings. They will need to include PS5 versions of PS4 games wherever appropriate. And there can't be any of this 'available for 3 months' nonsense. The games will need to be on there a lot longer than that.

It's all well and good saying 'hey, we have Returnal, Miles Morales etc' but if they disappear after 3 months then it just leaves the largely mediocre PS Now lineup.

I currently sub to both so it would save me money I guess, but was probably going to let Now lapse in July anyway.

Not interested in PS3 games if I can't download them. I never stream them on PS Now as it is, so won't start any time soon. I wasn't a PS1 guy either so not bothered about those games. If I could have some classic PS2 games (would love to play PES again for example) then I may consider it. To be honest though, having tried GTAVC and GTAIII on Now recently, sometimes games are best left to your memory!

My Now sub expires in July, so that will give me a month or two to see if it's worth subbing to the higher tiers or not. I suspect I probably won't seeing as I can't even afford to sit in my house with the heating on anymore!!

CD Keys are offering 12 months PS Now for £39.99 rather than £49.99 if anyone wanted to know...

EDIT: Scratch that, it's out of stock. (Not sure how something digital can be out of stock but there you go)!

Interested to see how often the games are 'refreshed' on the premium services. It's all well and good touting Returnal, Miles Morales, Death Stranding etc but will they be on the service indefinitely, or be removed after three months like games are on the current Now service?

@Titntin It's all good! I agree as well. We all like different things. I always laugh to myself when people kick up a fuss about getting sports games on Plus, as though video gaming and liking sports can't live together in harmony! To be honest, I do think this month sounds pretty bad (the Hood game sounds as generic as some of the other multiplayer games we've received the last year) but everyone will have their own opinion on it. If you are expecting big releases though then, yes, you are entitled!

@Titntin what do you consider entitlement? Not liking the games that have been offered? I don't like the games that have been offered. I have no interest in any of them. Does that make me entitled? Just trying to work out what you mean...

@LiamCroft could you advise us all of the correct way to react to this each month please? Just so I know not to get to excited or to disappointed in the future...

I have four of the 'best' controllers of all time and 2 of them had stick drift within 6 months. Make of that what you will.

Wow, that could be about the worst lineup in Plus history! Obviously we HAVE to have an online multiplayer (yawn) but also a CARD game and a Spongebob game. Really? Who at Sony thought this would be a good selection together? Maybe one of each of these over the next three months with different games. But altogether in one month, this is dreadful!

@ApostateMage would love this game to be third person like a futuristic GTA. I've enjoyed what I've played so far, but I'm not a huge first person type of guy.

Aaaaaaaaaaand...........nobody cared.

I wonder what load of pretentious drivel he's cooking up this time?

I'm too scared to play horror games anyway, but even if I wasn't I wouldn't pay £65 to play one. Maybe when it's in a sale for less than a tenner if I'm courageous enough!

If you've only just got a PS4, having never owned a console this or last gen, there are some amazing games in this sale for absolutely peanuts!

Assassins Creed Black Flag - £3.19
Metal Gear Solid V - £3.19
Dragon Age Inquisition - £3.74
XCOM 2 - £2.24
Need for Speed Rivals - £3.99
Dirt Rally - £4.49
Onrush - £1.79
The Sims 4 - £4.19
Rise of the Tomb Raider - £4.99
Unravel - £3.74
Overcooked - £3.24

For less than £40 you will end up with a decent set of starter games covering all sorts of different areas that will keep you going for weeks or months. Can't go wrong eh!

Tried it, seems good. Really annoying that it won't import my PS4 save from the console though. I now have to re-download the PS4 version of GTA to UPLOAD my save so I can then go back into the PS5 version and download the save! Very annoying.

@PapaGlitch I have no idea to be honest. Can't see much difference myself personally either!

@lolwhatno I believe it's because children make their own games on Roblox and Roblox then profit off them some how? I think? I may be wrong though.

@nessisonett I have no interest in F1 at all, but please explain this? Who is the handpicked winner for Netflix? I don't get it? What did I miss?

Is it possible to ONLY have the story mode? I have zero interest in GTA Online so would happily annexe that from the campaign to save storage.

Classic character pack? If the game encompasses the original trilogy why are Luke, Leia, Han, Vader and Lando in a DLC pack? Surely they are already in the game?

Played about two minutes of it on Apple Arcade. Meh.

I went for it, for £8.75. I've never actually finished the game on PS4, so happy to upgrade and get the most out of it. I never paid full price for it anyway (was a couple of years late to the PS4 party) so I don't feel too hard done by.

Still can't work out the structure though. Is this £8.75 just for story mode? I have no interest in GTA online so, happy for it to be the case.

Not really a FPS guy (although have been enjoying Cyberpunk to my surprise) so not overly interested in at least 3 of this months offerings. And the chicken game looks just like reading loads of text on a page so not bothered about that.

I've tried Ghostrunner and Sonic on PS Now and both, IMO, are meh. I'd consider trying GoT Legends and ARK but the file sizes are massive and I'll likely delete both after half an hour as online stuff isn't my bag, so I'll probably just not bother!

Nearly fooled me into thinking we were getting the full GoT. Never heard of Legends mode so had no idea! Oh well, that's disappointing. Especially as two of the other games are already on PS Now and the others are GTA Online (no interest) and ARK (intrigued but not excited).

I had no interest in this game whatsoever when it came out, and even less when I heard the reviews. I'm not a fan of FPS type games (I prefer 3rd person experiences) but when I saw it was £19.99 and getting better reviews I thought, to hell with it, let's see what it's all about! And I'm actually quite enjoying it I have to say. I wish there was a 3rd person mode, but I'm playing on easy and I'm holding my own so I'm happy enough. Not encountered any game breaking bugs either, although I've only just got to the Keanu bit so there may be some to come.

Have no interest in GTA Online. Team Sonic Racing I have tried on PS Now and it's fairly average. I've always seen ARK for sale in the PS Store so maybe I'll try that out finally and see what it's all about?

The 1 second of gameplay looked promising, then you lost me at free to play. BUT, my kids will probably enjoy this so it has legs.

I didn't even know what it was until I opened this article! And I only opened this article because I thought it was to do with Virtual Reality

My TV isn't new enough even for UHD etc, so no doubt won't make a difference to me either way!

@Kidfunkadelic83 glad it's not just me! It's the braking, I can't control it at all! Same as you, sliding around all over the place!

I'll add you next time I'm on there dude!

I enjoyed the demo/trial pre-release. I thought it was good fun! I'm waiting for a heavy discount or PS Plus release though before jumping in properly though.

@Kidfunkadelic83 I've looked in settings and I think I have everything right, so I guess I just totally suck at it!!

@Kidfunkadelic83 I played Driveclub on the weekend (I also snapped it up before it left the store a couple of years ago) and it is still a beautiful game to look at isn't it. Considering it's age, it's far nicer looking than most other racers since.

I am absolutely terrible at it though! Is there anyway to turn the difficulty down?!

Let me think. I completed Concrete Genie Friday night so thats another one to tick off and delete! I think I'm quite near to completing Figment now as well so I can scrap that soon too.

I also played some GTA VC on Now which was fun. In fact, it made me buy Bully and Red Dead Revolver to relive some other fond memories.

Also found time to play some Dead Cells, Driveclub and FIFA 22. I'm recovering from a burst appendix so have full excuses to not do anything else!

@sanderson72 Skidmarks on the Amiga was amazing wasn't it! If Circuit Superstars is anything like that then I am sold!!

@nessisonett lol, no word of a lie, before I clicked on the article I said to myself "I'm just going to put Sensible World of Soccer down because it's the best game of all time" and then I saw your comment

Already own Planet Coaster but happy to give UFC a try. Not interested in Borderlands in general so will swerve Tiny Tina.

@nomither6 it is a bunch of trash, and it's a bunch of multiplayer trash that has been given away in PS Plus, hence why I said I'd like some single player experiences for once.

@nomither6

Knockout City
Operation Tango
First Class Trouble
Hell Let Loose
Predator Hunting Grounds
Hunters Arena Legends

It's fair to say all of those games are essentially online multiplayer experiences with no campaign or single player stuff worth playing, is it not?

Realistically I won't ever play them anyway, but would like something that is not online multiplayer for once! Just a nice story-driven, offline, solitary experience please!

I'll take:

Watch Dogs Legion (PS5)
Dysmantle
Riders Republic
The Last Stand: Aftermath
Death Stranding (not interested personally, but many would be I'm sure)
FIST
Cuphead
Spirit Farer (sic?)

Konami, what a strange company. It's like they are actively trying to troll everyone at this point, what with the disaster of eFootball as well. I mean, did someone from their biggest rival buy them just to destroy the company, or are actual employees making all these decisions?!

I'll be honest, I just want eFootball to release properly and be good. I'm not interested in the online nonsense, I just want to play offline with all the teams available with a decent edit mode and I'll be happy.

Second on my wishlist would be a remaster of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, as the 1+2 remasters were awesome. Other than that, I'm not that bothered really. I never get new releases until a year or two later when they are sub £20 anyway.

I don't even watch the cutscenes in most games, so there's no way in the world I'm reading documents in a game.

My kids also like Moving Out (which is similar to Overcooked but moving furniture etc), Golf with your Friends, Astro's Playroom (on PS5 of course), Human Fall Flat, Bugsnax, King Oddball, Beach Buggy Racing, Castle Crashers, Broforce, Brawlout, Disney Infinity, Goat Simulator, Lego Worlds, Minecraft Dungeons, Nidhogg 2, Nippon Marathon, Plants Vs Zombies, Speed Runners, Runbow, That's You, Frantics, Chimparty, Trials Fusion and Unravel.

These games vary in quality from an adult perspective, but they love playing them. So some suggestions there for anyone who cares to take them!

Meh. Not into Rally games (although I've not played a PS5 racer yet so I'll give it a try), 100% no interest whatsoever in JPRG turn based whatever Persona is, and no interest in online co-op stuff.

Funny how some think some months are bad and some are good. It's almost like it's down to personal opinion!

Do I HAVE to play it with other people online? Can I play it either by myself or with someone locally?
