What PlayStation games are you playing ?

I'm back playing Astrobot Rescue Mission, after leaving it down for a long while.
It's pretty great the closest Sony have gotten, since Tearaway on the Vita, to that Nintendo special sauce that makes their platformers better than everyone elses.

Finished Last of Us II. Very disappointed. The amount of cutscenes and notes to be read was ridiculous.

Bought Subnautica last night after mulling about it for ages. Game does not hold you hand in the slightest. I had to die of starvation before I Googled to find out you just catch fish, and then a subsequent Google to find you use the Replicator to cook them... So started again with a few tips, and still feel completely lost! Got the small sub thingy built last, and went for a little spin. It's not a very strong yoke, couple of fish hopping off it and it's lost half armor already...

Anyway, seems good, and my progress is only going to be halted by my reluctance to go places because it's scary... However, on the Pro, the draw distance is shocking. Stuff popping into view as I get nearer, Islands that should be visible from standing on my pod don't show until you're fairly close to them... I honestly didn't think there were Islands at all until I came across one by accident. From the top of the pod it just looks like open water as far as the eye can see.

Not buying any new games til the 5 arrives so working on the plus back catalogue, started Rise of the Tomb Raider a few days ago, smashing little game and it looks bloody gorgeous even though its 5 years old.

I'll tell you now, the islands are not meant to be visible when you're on your pod. At the most its a haze of clouds in the distance, but the idea is to make it look like there is nothing around you.

Potential-Monke

Yeah, the draw distance is starting to bug me, and it's even worse underwater. Be flying along in my sub and stuff is popping up in front of me. Hopefully it'll improve on the PS5, because I can't imagine I'll be finished before then at the pace I'm going. Still a good game though, just need to find something that can kill fish that attack me, can't go into a cave without something exploding or biting me.

Giving arkham knight a lash again as it was the first ps4 game to blow me away with it's immersion, so getting used to it so when my ps5 arrives in the next week or so the jump up in generation will be huge (hopefully)

bmorrissey

Picked up Little Hope today and have a backlog of Wolfenstien old blood, kingdom hearts 2 & 3 and also have to start fallout 76 so i *should* be ok until xmas at least

TinCanMan

Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Haven't played an Assassin's creed in years but saw this on sale for €9.99 with really good reviews and fancied something different. I'm not far into it but the graphics and gameplay are excellent and the characters are likeable which helps.

CastorTroy

That's the one ubisoft listed as not working on PS5, though seems now they pulled that post

Yesterday I finished Control (Xbox One but thought I would mention as it's on PS4 as well) and was very disappointed with it, couldn't get the hype. Technically, even after a year it is prone to frame rate drops, the odd crash and long loading times. Gameplay wise it's okay, not much variety and Launch is very OP. Some of the checkpointing can be a pain, needing to run through empty areas to get back to some of the side bosses if you die. A 7/10 game for me.

Now, some of my disappointment may be because the game I finished before that was Batman Return to Arkham: Arkham Asylum (PS4). I'm late to it of course but it is still a great game, really enjoyed it with a lot more depth and variety than Control. Highly recommend.

Now I have started playing Outer Worlds, just about an hour into it but it feels great, a throwback to New Vegas but with what seems like faster combat. Reckon I'll take this one slow and explore the side-quests.

Playing the Order 1886, picked it up at some stage on sale.
its good, i was expecting to blast through it, but i've found a couple challenging parts in it, aiming and overpowered enemies.

Graphically it holds up. But I suspect Im not too far away from the end, so i can see why €60 would have hurt.

I really enjoyed that game. The world and story was amazing. Let down with terrible "boss" encounters.
Would love if they handed the IP to some other development house cos i'd love a sequel.

So Id forgotten to go back to quickly finish this, was a little further from the end then I expected, but got to complete it at the weekend.
What a sequel could have being.

As said boss encounters are terrible and the final boss is kinda stupid, but the look and feel of the world is really good.

Pity I would like someone to pick it up, but I imagine there is nobody willing to touch it.
Anyway got my €10 out of it.

After playing Spyro remaster and loving it, and res evil 2 and loving it. I bought another game from my childhood and that was the Tony Hawk game.

After an hour of play I can safely say it doesnt hit the nostalgic buzz i thought it would . 17 levels and I have completed 7 in 40 minutes.

Would be grand if on sale for a tenner. But i picled it up for just over €40. Genuinely had more fun playing THUG and THPS4 last year on my ps2.

I recently played THUG and THUG2 on PS2, the games are still really fun, hold up really well, great soundtracks too and ill probably hold out on the remake to drop in price before i pick up.

I see kingdom come: deliverance is on sale, anyone play it? Worth picking up?

Sackboy - joy to play, addictive gameplay and sweet game

Do you like things so real that helmets hinder your vision and you're basically crap at everything until you've done it so much that you're not longer crap, but still not good? Then this is the game for you.

Will take serious effort and even more time, so I gave up at 15 hours and was still at the "tutorial" as such... Hats off to them, they created a huge game, but it's just too "real" for my liking.

Gave Bugsnax a go, but not the game for me. Seem to have been sucked back into No Mans Sky on the 5. Silky smooth, a proper draw distance and very little loading.

CastorTroy

Decided to throw on Bugsnax. Just starting it so no opinion yet

Hmm, maybe not for me then, the time it takes up would be the main issue.

Spiderman Miles Morales - really enjoying this. Only issue I have is that it will probably be a little short in terms of length as it is not a full blown sequel.

Swinging around at 4K 60FPS feels great, combat with Miles's new powers is really fun.

Fast traveling is now instantaneous and makes chasing down collectables or side missions much easier.

I will probably Platinum this.

Does anyone have any opinion on Demon Souls? Not sure if I should pick it up or wait for a future sale.

The Order 1886. Still need to get a hang of the different types of QTEs

Still waiting for that to come free on Plus or Now!

Playing mainly No Mans Sky on PS5, with some little bits of Maneater. NMS is really quick to load anything now, so even harder to peel myself away from it. Maneater is... meh.

CastorTroy

Concrete Genie. I do like these kinds of smaller games with cool ideas like this and Rain.

Pridedemon

Red Dead Redemption 2 right now but just finished Nier: Automata and Horizon: Zero Dawn before that. All class games.

The move the Right stick instead caught me by surprise on a number of them!

I was waiting and waiting, decided to pull the trigger on €10.
Now all I want is a sequel

CastorTroy

Yeah dunno how many times I hit the wrong button or direction.
I picked it up for a tenner as well since there was no sign of it going to Plus
Though now I've finished it, expect it in January

Barna77

Final Fantasy 7, the original

Damn you Sephiroth

Gamer Bhoy 89

Just recently beat Def Jam Vendetta on PS2. Playing Fight for New York now. I forgot how good these games were and I only realised in the last few years that they were made by AKI Corporation, the same crowd who made No Mercy on the N64. It makes sense now.

Mr Crispy

I'm a few hours into Spidey remastered now, and I've come to the sad realisation that I am no longer "good" at action games. The dexterity and reflexes I once had are no more. Good game though!

ObliVion86

Getting gud in Demon's Souls
I'm enjoying the online multiplayer stuff cause it wasn't very active when I played the original on PS3.

Love the game. Graphics look amazing and it runs fairly smooth.

JimBurnley

Finished Uncharted 4, never got round to it on the ps4, looks stunning on the ps5. Naughty Dog really know how to tart up the appearances like a Hollywood blockbuster. Enjoyable gameplay too, nice mix of shooting, platforming and puzzles.

Threw on Bugsnax then, just for a quick look... dragged myself away two hours later. Fairly simple premise, but has something kinda adorable about it. Reminds me a little of Ape Escape from many moons ago

ironictoaster

Demon souls. What a disheartening game. I am enjoying the combat, taking my time with each enemy. However, I keep getting destroyed by the same enemy at a certain point. Forcing me to start from the start of the level. 40 mins of progress wasted!

Taltos

Which enemy?
Can you summon help?

Same game, hating the swamp

Man I'm stuck on the first level

13:46 of this stream. Two hits and I'm gone. This game is becoming a pain in the hole. If I wanted my head to be fried I'd play ninja gaiden on NES :pac:

He's optional, come back later when you've levelled up a bit.

I didn't even know he was even optional? I'm been treating demon souls like a super Mario level getting A to B.

Without spoiling the game too much, nothing there for you until later in the game anyway.

How many people have prebooked Cyberpunk 2077?

Only decided to buy it today after watching a streamer playing on PS5 and it looked ok.
Didn't watch too long though, saw a quiet scene where she was taking her time and then a gunfight scene.
Stopped watching and bought it.

Mars Bar

I'm back home with only a PS3 at my disposal so I'm playing AC: Black Flag. This is actually my 3rd attempt at playing it. I only gt 5% through it the previous times I tried and wasn't enjoying it but appreciating it now as I quite like the less open world feel.

CastorTroy

Just started Horizon Zero Dawn last night.
Just on the first proper level after the Wee Aloy levels. Have already been distracted by a couple of side missions.

I know it came out near Breath of the Wild so I can see where comparisons came from with regards climbing. How can I now climb a wall with without handholds or get up steep rocks? Crazy!

ronano

Red dead redemption 2, I did not expect to love it but I do. The game hits me in a similar way to death stranding

JimBurnley

Randomly decided to boot up Red Dead Redemption 1 on PSNow t'other night and been playing it ever since. Obviously no way near as smooth or sexy looking as RDR2, but think I'm enjoying it more regardless. Just feels to have more fun factor plus a slightly tighter story

Bigbooty

Rogue Company. Pretty fun FTP shooter game and objective based rather than BR ****e that's everywhere. Gunplay is good and abilities are fun. Bit glitchy and laggy but otherwise the game is really good and underrated in my opinion.

Minime2.5

Trying to get back into sekiro. Finding it too hard

Ghosts of Tsushima, it is such a quality game. Just one of the few great games I’ve to play having skipped over owning a PS4

Aye, Im about 10 hours in myself. Absolutely stunning game. The combat properly clicked for me after 4 or 5 hours and now I have no hesitation going headlong into a battle rather than trying to snipe / assassinate. I rarely use the horse, just meandering along sort of following the main quest but getting side tracked by random encounters, foxes and golden birds. The game is massive but is so beautiful to look at it deserves exploration. And unlike its peers - Im looking at you Valhalla - the map is not cluttered with an over abundance of random side missions. Superb game.

Got to borrow the brothers last of us part 2

Finished cyberpunk a while back which I thought was good despite the issues (on ps4). Played control straight after which I thought was great and a much better overall game, highly recommend it
