What PlayStation games are you playing ?

Key to beating the final Valkyrie is to interrupt her with Atreus when she is charging for her ultra attack.

UNWORTHY UNWORTHY!!

Just need to beat her for the plat., gave up a few months ago without any success.
I'd say I've lost muscle memory on that game to be bothered going back.

You can lower the difficulty down to easy and it won't affect trophies. I beat her on normal but it took so many tries and caused me so much frustration that I regretted not just lowering it to easy in the first place.

There are also certain gear builds that make it a lot easier.

When I say 2 more, I've 2 more then the queen or whoever she is. I've to get to the top of that lava mountain for one of them, I'm on the 4th challenge where I've to beat 100 bad guys, got to 86 yesterday and nearly broke my controller when I died! Then the other one is in that poison maze place.

I doubt I'll ever get the last trophy on it though, I assume you've to find all the crows and all that for it and there's no way I'm going to bother with that!

The poison maze one is fairly easy once you've collected all the armour pieces that protects you from the environment

Can someone explain what a new game plus is? All new to me, didn't have a PS4 at all but loving my PS5!

Its a general phrase that means starting a game again with all the upgrades and items you earned in a previous playthrough.

I was wondering that myself before so looked it up as I was sure it was a harder version of the game as well to match you starting with powers. I really must try it in a game sometime

Usually it just means you start the game again with all your powers, abilities etc, and you play through again in order to reset everything. Though sometimes it does mean the game is harder too, especially SoulsBorne games (where you can New Game + several times and it gets harder each time). In those cases you can also usually continue to level up and get stronger to compensate.

'bout time I get into The Last of Us Part 2... need to get a quick refresher of the prev story on the interwebs first I reckon

Playing away at Samurai Warriors 4-II.

Been playing these games since the age of 12 and they never cease to give me immense satisfaction. I love Musō games

Hitman 2.

Sorry I bought it though. Find it very boring and monotonous.

I’d love to enjoy the Hitman games but the AI is just so bad it kills the immersion.

You get spotted way to easily. Often thinking how’d he’d know.

Or the other way around you’re certain you’d been spotted but nope.

It’s a shame cause I love the idea of them.

Back on topic I’ve been playing the hell out of the Outriders demo. Roll on April 1st.

Fourth attempt to get into Doom (2016) and I still can't. I don't know what it is, but it's just very meh to me. Every time I've tried, I'd get a few levels in and just stop. Ah well, can't say I didn't try (4 times). Now back to the simple and monotonous routine of building bases and flying between planets in Astroneer.

I played it recently, loved it for the first few nights playing it. Amazing music along with everything else you mentioned but but I just got bored doing fetch missions and stopped playing

Exactly the same. My enthusiasm went from sky high to zero. Such a shame, massive potential but that repetitive combat and awful map destroyed it for me

Went back to Crash Bandicoot 4 with the PS5 upgrade. Decided to go for all the rest of the gems. Really tough, but manageable with enough practice. At this stage though I'm just going to pretend I've completed the game 100%, because the idea of the flashback tapes, N Sanely relics and Platinum relics.... F*ck no.

Have started a replay of God of War. Damn this game is fantastic. I'm still blown away by how they got to this from the previous games, where it feels like a natural progression and a complete reinvention at the same time.

Playing Hitman 3 on the PS5, completed the main storyline but as is the rule with these games its all about the replay and the challenges etc... It's the first Hitman I've played and in honesty I expected a different game, more action oriented than what it is really.
It is enjoyable but I'm simply carrying on now as I have not much else that is interesting me, waiting for Resident Evil and a couple of other things...
I played Destiny on the PS4 constantly and literally played nothing else, which I was determined not to do when I got the 5.

Been paying the FF7 remake, (as a lot are i presume), looks brilliant, soundtrack is amazing, but i really dont enjoy the battle system, mashing square until meter builds to either cast or use ability, changing characters seems clunky. But then again im only 2-3 hours into the game, maybe i'll adjust. So far though, very good game
