It would be absolute scutter if they started giving away the games that are in the instant game collection on a monthly basis like that. Really can't see that happening.

Those of us on PS4 don't have that though, and that's the vast majority tbf

Good month only if you have PS4 , kind of meh if you have PS5. Hopefully this isn't the start of instant collection games showing up as regular ps Plus monthly games

Zombie month, sponsored by Sony....

Many may already own or played Days Gone, but it is the best game of all time so I've no issues them sharing this masterpiece round everyone.

The old oddworld games never quite clicked with me, but nice to have a new game as a 'freebie' to give a blast.

And Zombie Army looks a bit of craic at least for some mindless action. So not a bad month by any stretch

brianregan09 · 31-03-2021 4:50pm

Just finished Days Gone one of the best games i've played in ages

Ye get Oddworld. It's 2 PS4 games and 1 PS5 so seems fair to me

1 PS5 game and 1 PS4 game, Days Gone comes free with the PS Plus Collection.

Iinm there are still 8 games in the Collection that have not been on Plus

Crash N'Sane Trilogy
Fallout 4
Final Fantasy XV
The Last Guardian
Monster Hunter World
Mortal Kombat X
Persona 5
Resident Evil 7

Tried Days Gone a few months back through the Plus collection. I don’t know whether I just wasn’t in the mood for that type of game or something else, but I deleted it after about 3 hours.

When does it get good?

gimli2112 · 31-03-2021 6:26pm

pretty much at the first cut scene. I've seen people say once you upgrade the bike or start getting certain skills but most people who really liked it, as far as I can tell, did so from the start. I just loved the whole set up story gameplay etc but it's not for everyone

I've said before I've killed myself trying to get into games that got good reviews but for whatever reason it just hasn't clicked, in saying that I have, albeit rarely, struggled to get into games and then for some unknown reason it just clicks.... case in point for me was Dying Light

It didn't for me.

Not a great selection for me this month, Oddworld will be given a go, but I couldn't get into the originals so can't see this being any different. Days Gone is meh at best (to me) and no interest in the Zombie Army games.

C'est la vie!

As the Plus collection wasn't available to us on PS4, outside of Fallout 4, I would like getting any of the above games in PS Plus.

How you getting twice as many games is fair is beyond me.

I'm not, PS5 owners are getting 2 (and 1 already they have), and I'm getting 2 (and 1 extra i can't play as don't have a ps5).

It's the same as getting a game on PS Plus when you already own it to me.

Yeah, I hear ya.

Sd james · 01-04-2021 10:56pm

But disappointed with Days gone in PS Plus since it was in the collection but I suppose there are only so many games they can put in

bmorrissey · 02-04-2021 3:12pm

Completed and traded Days Gone into CEX last year, blasted through it during lockdown 1.0. Will defiantly re-download and play through it again on the hard mode

sterz · 02-04-2021 8:10pm

What's the best PS plus offer going? I haven't paid for one in a couple of years and the last time I did it cost me 45e.

Unfortunately all the usual places that sell it at a discounted price have been out of stock since January

In the meantime I came across this: https://www.shopto.net/en/dls55907-playstation-plus-12-month-membership-p113292/

Can that be used here or UK only?

jj880 · 06-04-2021 6:46pm

I really like oddworld soulstorm. Good haptic feedback and tough addictive gameplay. I was a big fan of the previous games.

06-04-2021 8:37pm

It won't download for me. Keeps giving an error.

I saw it in the playstation android app last night. App is called "PS App". Added it to library from there. Then started the download on the PS5 this morning.

Gives an error on the app too. I got an email notification that i bought it but it's not in my library.

CastorTroy · 06-04-2021 9:54pm

I just added them now through the app

That happened to me last month with Maquette.

Should fix itself in a few hours.

I just finished the first level but have no desire to play anymore. Really like the first one back on ps1 but this was like Trials except stopping to put out fires. Are the rest of the levels like this?

jj880 · 07-04-2021 8:23am

The first level is more a tutorial for basic controls. It gets tougher and levels have a good variety. You can see examples here:

Not everyone's cup of tea but I will try to complete it.

First level is to show u how it works give it a go it's good fun and challenging

Will give it another go but that was not a good tutorial level to get people interested.

Potential-Monke · 07-04-2021 7:43pm

I played a few levels of it last night, and it's more of the same so doubt I'll be sticking to it. Lovely looking game in fairness.

brianregan09 · 07-04-2021 9:25pm

It's really good

jj880 · 07-04-2021 9:40pm

Its a slow build up of harder levels, puzzles and enemies. The levels and crafting get more interesting the more you play. You will be playing for a few hours before it really gets going. I like puzzle games that you have to explore.

It's also a tough challenge to find the hidden mudokons.

I see there are articles saying there are some bugs. I haven't encountered any. There was an update earlier today.

The Raging Bile Duct · 08-04-2021 9:19am

I played through the first level and I don't know if I'll stick at it. Is it me or are the cutscenes unskippable? Also, I was trying to stop the game during one of the cutscenes and I couldn't do it - it wouldn't give me the option to get back to the main menu. I ended up having to close the entire game to get out of it. Extremely annoying. Those cutscenes are annoying af and they go on for ages longer than they need to.

gimli2112 · 08-04-2021 10:23am

unskippable cutscenes are normally a dealbreaker for me and my goldfish attention span

jj880 · 09-04-2021 4:50pm

Nearly finished Oddworld soulstorm here. Only a few more levels to go. Its good but not great. A bit rough round the edges in parts and after some promising levels is feeling like a bit of a slog now. Maybe the last few levels will change my mind but if I owned a PS4 or did not have PS Plus on PS5 I would not be paying 50 euro for this game.

CastorTroy · 27-04-2021 9:04pm

Announcement tomorrow or wait til the State of Play?
Or neither like they did before and just announced late?

I see 2 games leaked are Stranded Deep and Battlefield V

I wouldn't mind playing Stranded Deep but I've a feeling Subnautica has wrecked survival games from me, will be hard to meet that standard.

Enjoying it? I love the look of it and would definitely give it a go but read it doesn't have much depth.

Any new PS5 games coming out that may be included? And I don't mean Returnal.

Totally....yupp totally meant that :pac:..... I wish i was that clever...

Hood: Outlaws and Legends is out on the 7th, would be the best bet if they were going with something new.

Mr Crispy · 27-04-2021 10:14pm

Good shout on Hood - it's not a full price game (€30 I think?).

It's the first proper game to remind me of scuba diving, well for the first hour or so until you go into the real depths. Have played about 60+ hours into it solidly, although I'd say 45 of those are herself directing me down to find an array of creature eggs to populate the multitude of environments she'd constructed to rear them in. Fetching the crab squid eggs while dodging leviathans was intense

Ah thought you meant ye were playing Stranded Deep. Yupp, Subnautica is unreal.
