Man there are several titles that I never got around to playing that I am going to pick up with this sale. Ghost of Tsushima, Rachet and Clank and probably Astro Bot now.

Both Ghost of Tsushima and R&C are playable on PS Plus Extra & Premium tiers, if you had interest in that.
All three games are phenomenal.

Yeah I saw that. I was debating if it was worth it doing that but I can get all 3 of them for the same price. I let my sub lapse years ago because I never used it.

I certainly used mine since I got it not too long ago. Finished 5 games from the PS vault. Haven’t finished one since. Not sure why but I’ve been slowing down and actually playing more Xbox now…

I can already tell Astro Bot is going to drive me fucking insane. It has those twitch fast response levels and I don't have that ability anymore. I play, lose tens of times and get angry. :lol:

I started Astro recently. What levels are you referring to? I've found it. mostly relaxing and enjoyable. No real issues getting 100% on the first couple of "worlds/universes." The only ones that have been a moderate challenge were the triangle zones in the second universe.

You can beat the game without any of those levels. Thwy are Challenge levels for when you've beaten everything else.

lwhy?

They’re tough. It took me quite some time to beat them. I had 20-30 attempts on some of them before finally finishing them, but you don’t have to complete them to finish the game.

I went in with really low expectations but was pretty well blown away. Tons of new reveals, and I’d probably buy 40% of the games featured.

June's PS Plus Extra games include a Day 1 release of FBC Firebreak, which looks to be a Left 4 Dead type game, with firefighting elements.

Diablo IV, King of Fighters XV and Jusant are the July PS Plus free games.

Re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20

Jusant is a good one-and-done game. Can’t remember how long it took but it was fairly short. I recommend it.

My cell phone auto-corrected the game's title to "Mustn't" :lol:

Re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20

I've never played a Diablo game before. I'll try it out since it's free.

I realized about two or three hours in that Diablo IV is just one of those games that’s Not For Me. It was fine, but not my jam.

I played way back in the PC days, then got the new version on PS5 and couldn't get into it.

July Free Games now up :

Also, the King of Fighters XV Fighters Pass DLC is 75% off ($3.99) just until tomorrow. Add 6 fDLC Fighters. Might be worth picking up if you're getting the game any way.

Yes! Been waiting on Planet Zoo. Almost bought it a couple of times during sales.

Re: PlayStation 5 - 11/12/20

Too bad the Day One release is a crafting/survival online game. Can't imagine a genre I care about less.

Never even heard of Banishers : Ghosts of New Eden, but it sounds like it might be cool.
