I'm excited to try The Ascent.  I almost bought it a few times.  I've heard good things about It Takes Two and Undertale as well.  Probably nothing I'll play right away, but it looks like a decent variety of games this month.

It Takes Two is a must play. It won game of the year at the Game Awards and was mine too. One of the best multiplayer games I've played in a long time!

The Ascent is one of the prettiest cyberpunk games I've ever played. Was a little rough when I first played it at launch but anyone playing it on net gen hardware for the first time is in for a serious treat! Someone actually created a first person mod for the game and it's amazing to see how detailed the textures are. Almost makes me wish it was a FPS. I could live in this world.

Undertale has a cult classic following. It's a weird game. The platinum can be knocked out in a few hours.

Circus Electrique - ACG says it's the most fun game he played last year!

Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R - for some reason this game reminds me of BLUR. Will definitely have to check this one out.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - not the best of reviews but I'll put in my back pocket for the next time I'm in the mood to play a platformer.

Circus Electrique is the other one on the list that looked interesting to me. I checked out the gameplay video on it and it looks like it could be good. I'm also seeing quite a few people talking about Dysmantle.
 
Here's an article about a glitched trophy list that appaently gives you all of the trophies (including Platinum) if you play with another person who already has the trophies. The game is Stranded Deep PS4. This was a free PS+ game two years ago and it looks like its on PS+ Extra now.

https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2023/07/10/stranded-deep-update-easy-platinum-trophy/

For all you people who want as many trophies as possible.
Well, I'm going to go see if I can get a viral plat now.

 
The Gex thing I don't understand, because I understood that all of Square's Western properties save Life is Strange were sold to Embracer Group (T*HQ). Why are they crediting a company that no longer owns Gex?

 
Highly recommend Dysmantle... good get

Also, couch co-op
Holy crap, thanks for this, me and my gf were trying to find something to play and I looked up the game because of your post. We lost about 4 hours just vegging out on this last night and hopefully will get 4 more in tonight before the work week starts for me

They didn't sell all of their western properties to Embracer Group. They still have Just Cause and a number of others.

 
If this is based on the old comics I read as a kid. Freaking awesome and I’m down. If it ends up being some pandering woke BS I hope it burns. Lol. I’m really hoping it’s based of the old comics though!!!
Tell me you don't understand Black Panthers without telling me you don't understand Black Panther.
 
Hey, if anyone has a Samsung Galaxy and can redeem the Xbox 25$ through Galaxy rewards, I'll pay you for the code. Just throwing that out there to anyone that only games on playstation.

Edit: nevermind looks like it's 100% claimed.

I'm picking up my PS5 tonight (finally found one here).  For the upcoming sale, do they normally put PS Plus on sale or should I go ahead and buy a year of it tonight?  Thanks for any help.  Hopefully MLB The Show and the Last of Us go on sale next week.

PS+ is generally on sale during Days of Play and usually sometime around Black Friday, usually with a horrible discount of like $10 or so. If you need to play multiplayer just do it. Also may want the higher PS+ tiers to play games, but I'll let others help you there.

Thank you so much. I guess I'll go ahead and bite the bullet and pay for the year of Premium. I'd hope the 3 hour trials on MLB and TLOU will hold me over in case the sale has both of them next week. I appreciate the help!!

Premium has been $30 off the last 2 black fridays/holiday I believe. I always wait for the holidays to renew.

Just pay for it. You won't need to buy any games ever. They'll eventually come on premium. It's pretty great.

 
iirc they were 15% off with best buys new program. But you have to pay a 50$ membership for that. Occasionally they have discounts at target, dollar tree, dollar general, drug mart, rite aid and such stores on psn stuff and currency as well.

 
Anybody ever play Evil West? It's on clearance at Best Buy for 31 or such. I think the 3 dollar cosmetic DLC is included in the physical copy
