Woot! Cleared Astro Bot tonight (including the true final challenge level).

Absolutely lovely experience, and I love how deep cut some of it's gaming references go. While it takes the form of a Mario esque platformer, I really think PS has found their "Smash" in terms of it's spirit. I loved the end world levels that played homage to other gaming franchises, and maybe in a sequel they could do more of those.

Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)

@RR529 Astro is a great game right? My personal GOTY remains Balatro... but I kind of hope that Astro gets the award, and perhaps leads to somewhat of a renaissance for really solid 3D platformers.

Sony have had such a strange year, with catastrophic misses (Concord...) but also some brilliant efforts (Astro).

I've only played a few hrs of Astro, but it reminded me of being 11yrs old and playing Mario 64 for the first time

@RR529
Yep Astro Bot is great and you can feel the love for the different franchises. I am glad you like it. It is my GOTY.

The Ape Escape level is cool. I never played one of the games but I would love to play a new one.

Edit: No I think Visions of Mana is my GOTY. It is hard to decide.

@CJD87, @Jhena, yeah, I think FFVII Rebirth may be my personal GOTY, but I certainly won't be upset if Astro Bot wins it.

@RR529
True, besides, having played games I consider GOTY is more than enough for me. Everyone can choose their own GOTY.

Yooosh...!
I got my mood back to enjoy my THE SIMS 4 PS4 on my PS5 machine.
Talking about designing the house / buildings in The Sims 4, it could take several hours just to build one building from scratch.
Sometimes I stuck on my old style building from The Sims 1 style by making the house very very basic.
Making very creative house is not an easy job.

Rhythm gonna hit your head.

So cool! They released a console edition of Planet Zoo. I need to find time to play it. It has really great vibes and so many customization options.

I took photos of my PS4 and PS5 collections. As you can see, they are not that big Especially the PS5.

@CJD87 I have watched videos and reviews, for now it does not click with me.

@Zuljaras really surprising to hear, as your collection intimates you like Souls/challenging games alongside 3rd person… have you actually given it a try? Genuinely to this day I still believe it’s the finest PS5 title out there. I like a lot of the same games as you btw!

@CJD87 It does not look like a souls title to me, really. I have not played it as that would mean buying it.

Most games are 3rd person but if I have the option I will play first person. For example I will never play Resident Evil Village in 3rd person.

@Zuljaras ah fair enough

Definitely isn’t a ‘souls’ like title…. I moreso made the comparison due to the perceived difficulty, and your library suggesting that challenge was/is a key factor you enjoy!

No worries

Very much looking forward to Robocop Rogue City as the main PS+ game of April.

Amazing to me that the PS5 Pro makes some games look worse with its ai upscaling. Figured an un-needed console would be useless. I also play here.

PS+ games of May.

Warhammer 40k Boltgun is a cool boomer-shooter.

Ark Survival Ascended? Meh.

Balatro? Awesome game, but I already have a Switch copy. I might click "add to library" just to force Playstation to cut a check to the developer, LocalThunk. And publisher, Playstack.
