Remnant II could still be deleted, but in November, right?

@PJOReilly I don’t understand Monday afternoon’s article then. It says: “…As a result, we're all going to be jumping in today, and we'll bring you our review ASAP.”

This was posted 25 hours before the review…

Monday, at the end of the day this site announced it just got its copy of the DLC and were working on a review. How is it possible to deliver a serious review only 25 hours later? Even if the reviewer didn’t sleep in between it seems unlikely he could form a solid opinion AND write an article about it.

Please just take at least a week extra and deliver something good, instead of desperately trying to be the first. I can’t take this seriously.

Of it is as good as the main game I’ll spend a lot of hours into it. And I’m surprised to find it’s free for me.

Now only to find some time… I still have a backlog of 28 games.

So I’ll quickly have to play Scorn which has been on my backlog for ages. Luckily it seems like this game should be beatable in one weekend.

Edit: Already quit. Terrible game. Don’t feel like walking around identical rooms all evening at 1 km/h without having a clue what to do.

@acmiguens That’s what I heard. I assume Sony finds it worth it to pay Apple/Google royalties for the transactions they receive.

@abe_hikura I thought the same, but at the third rushed session I already was done with it. It feels quite bland compared to the excellent Arkham games.

@SodaPop6548 I understand they don’t want this because if they turn the app into a store they will have to give Apple a portion of the earnings.

@GhanaViking As in 2 hour sessions or so?

Damn, I don’t think I’ll be able to finish Gotham Knights in time. I haven’t started yet and can’t game on a daily basis.

I’m still busy with Sea of Stars, obviously. But… I’m almost done! I think I’m in the last level.

Bit of a bittersweet feeling; I really want to dive into my humongous GP backlog, but I’m enjoying this game so much.

Edit: Finished it! Next up: Gotham Knights.

So Gotham Knights is staying after all?

I read as much about the PS5 on this site as on Push Square.

@FraserG Much clearer now!

Confusing article. It reads as if the EA games are included, but I think the opposite is implied.

The complaining about microtransactions is getting more repetitive than the gameplay. I’ve played some of previous years’ games and never have I found any problems with the transactions. I never paid a penny extra and never had the feeling I was hindered in whatever way.

Besides that, these games are ridiculously cheap anyway after a few months.

I had to drag myself out of it after 250 hours, since my backlog was growing and growing. Wonderful game, I'll definitely give it a second spin sometime after the DLC is out.

These things are inexcusable. When you make such a controversial decision you better make sure there's absolutely no way your game becomes unavailable. It happening on release day makes it extra painful and hopefully it serves as a lesson for other studios that are considering this approach.

Sea of Stars. Still.

God, I’m slow.

Still Sea of Stars on Game Pass, still loving every second of it! The battle system is so addictive and the dialogues and movements turn a smile on my face every time.

Up to € 20 for a 6 year old game isn’t that cheap?

Is Cult of the Lamb worth it? And does the Unholy Alliance version (of € 12,49) offer the complete base game? The description can be read in two ways.

@Stamnoso Will do! And mindset can indeed also change the feeling you have with a game. Sometimes I just feel too rushed to absorb a game. Other times the game simply isn’t for me. Luckily we have no shortage of games to play nowadays.

@Stamnoso It was on last month’s list, so I’m still afraid it might leave anytime now. I find it excellent by the way, also the storytelling.

This is getting annoying. I don't have a lot of time to game. After this same topic of last month I quickly started playing Sea of Stars, which eventually wasn't removed (yet). I'm not even halfway through that game and now another two games on my backlog (Lies of P and Cocoon) are mentioned. Would be a shame to miss out on them, but I won't even finish Sea of Stars before the end of this month.

I have zero interest in those yearly war games. Must have been 15 years since I played one.

@Nightcrawler71 I bought it last year. Owned it on disc around the time it was released and bought it digitally this time to revisit it after 10 years. Not that strange actually if you only owned a physical copy for a console from the past.

@GamingFan4Lyf They’re not released too early. They’re finished too late.

@StylesT Those shouldn’t be the two options. They should release it in time AND in a good state. They always say they want to release it in as good a state as possible when announcing a delay, but it’s just a fancy way of saying they missed the deadline.

@TheCrafter1578 It’s basically the same as for Deliver us the Moon: fun little inbetween game with decent stories and engaging puzzles. Nice games to keep you busy for a week. After that they’ll soon be forgotten.

I’m not convinced by the trailers yet. It looks okay, but I have no clue how the gameplay will be and that will be the deciding factor.

@Mamabear Yeah, that’s right. That’s why I thought I should hurry, but I guess that’s not needed anymore.

Does this mean Sea of Stars will stay on GP? In that case I won’t rush it.

@FraserG Thanks!

Is it a certainty the newest NBA 2K will always be available on GP? 24 is on GP now, but € 6,99 is a steal.

I have another two years left for Ultimate. Is it possible to top it up with another year? Or has that option gone already (I did something like buying a Turkish games with gold sub and transforming it into GPU)?

@Scrubchub Thanks, I’ll immediately start playing it when I’ve finished Resident Evil HD. It’s been on my backlog for a long time.

I’m 40 and playing way, way more than when I was in my twenties. It really became my go-to hobby during covid, since I couldn’t focus on watching movies any more. It sticked with me since then.

Resident Evil 1 remake. I’m surprised at how well it holds up, it’s just a really good game. The controls and fixed cameras are difficult to get used to though.

Oh wow, didn’t even know I’m getting SS “for free” after I bought the premium upgrade last year. I only bought it for the steelbook it came with.

@Fiendish-Beaver Thanks for that! I considered it already, but was held back because I did the same with Halo (starting with the first one since I never played any), but couldn’t get into such an old game I have no nostalgic feelings with.

After emptying my PS Plus backlog (sub expired) now it’s Xbox time for the coming months. I’m still a relative newbee, since I bought my Series X last year for Starfield having never owned a Xbox before. So lots to discover with my Game Pass sub.

Perhaps I’ll start with my Resident Evil Run (1, 2, 3, 4R, 7, 8). Or Gears 5, having never played the series.

I already bought the physical version of TCP for PS5 for € 4,99 in a major store in the Netherlands. Ridiculous price. Still have to play it, but I have high hopes.

Is this a game or a movie? I hope it will be great, but this trailer tells me nothing.

@kelomaniack I don’t know who Rick and Morty are, but I’ll check out the game

Okay, I’ll try it

Really wanted to play High on Life, but I see it got a 4/10 on this website? 😬

@smoreon Excellent correction, very clear now. Thanks!

Little review of the review; I think Pure Xbox’s writers often overcomplicate their writing. As a non-native my English is quite good, but it’s really hard to tell what the conclusion (didn’t read the rest because I’m wary of spoilers) of this review actually means.

Bought my Series X because of Starfield. I already had a PS5 and also had the PSX, PS2, PS3 and PS4 before, but I simply had to play Starfield (and wasn’t disappointed).

At the moment I’m not playing my XSX because I’m emptying my PS Plus backlog before I let it expire this July. From then on I’ll be playing a lot of Game Pass on it, while keeping my PS5 as my go to console for non-Xbox exclusives. The main reason is the dualsense controller, it’s just way ahead of the Xbox controller.
