Early preview buzz around Tchia has been extremely positive, hope the game lives up to that. It looks exceedingly lovely.

Potential-Monke · 23-02-2023 10:48pm

Seems like it might be a bit too much "Disney" for me. That whole love and friendship craic... but I'll give free a go.

Nothing too exciting from the state of play. But I do now know that SS:KtJL is a shooter, not an Arkham type game. Will wait for reviews on how good the single player will be.

Sony up to their old tricks again, charging me for a year's subscription, despite auto-renewal being turned off. Keep an eye on your renewal date. They agreed to refund as it was done today.

It's 35% off upgrading to Extra or Premium until Friday. Just seen that by chance so others might have missed it.

MineCraft Dungeons is an excellent dungeon crawler, have played it a lot with the kids.

Only problem is, they keep breaking the local co-op. Logged in recently and my kids cant get access to their P2 and P3 characters. Happened before and they fixed it. So just a heads up.

I always wanted to play untitled goose game but never pulled the trigger, looking forward to that. Life is strange true colours is an absolute gem if you're into those.

Wossack · 15-03-2023 7:13pm

Untitled Goose Game has a brilliant local coop too - great to play with a youngster

Potential-Monke · 15-03-2023 9:02pm

UGG, another one that just didn't gel with me. Gas all the giving out about releasing broken games, and UGG uses that as a feature. I don't understand it.

CastorTroy · 15-03-2023 10:20pm

A correction they made was that's meant to be Ape Academy 2 on PSP, not Ape Escape 2 on PS1.

They don't say if it's the PS4 or PS5 versions of the games. They usually post both if both are available, don't they? Though I seem to remember they didn't always do that.

Potential-Monke · 23-03-2023 9:04am

Gave Tchia a spin. It's... I'm undecided. It looks really nice for such a small team, but I'm not sure it's for me. Granted, I'm still very early, only a few hours done. But so far I'm left to feel it's "Fetch Quest: The Game". Every quest so far is basically a fetch quest. Fetch quest - play 1 input rhythm game. Fetch quest - play 1 input 2 direction rhythm game. Fetch quests - play 1 button 8 input rhythm game... I hope this changes. Did a race too, but very brief and easy. Rock stacking seems hard till you figure out the trick, it opens with a Ubi style vantage map icon filler, the target ranges have a easy win option. Feels like it will be very collectathon, with Disney feels. The soul jumping is... meh so far. I'll give it another while and hope it opens up and varies a bit.

I've been playing it with my 5yr old :D she likes it, but I fell asleep beside her watching her play

irish_stevo815 · 23-03-2023 4:53pm

Do games normally move between the different tiers of Plus? The young lad was just trying to play WWE 2K22 that we got free from the Plus Extra list in January but looks like it has now moved to the Premium tier so can't play it without upgrading.

sniper_samurai · 23-03-2023 5:03pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120392396#Comment_120392396

The Premium tier is a game trial, WWE 2K22 was removed from the Extra catelogue on Monday after being available for 2 months.

irish_stevo815 · 23-03-2023 5:08pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120392434#Comment_120392434

Ah thanks, I see. So do all new games added to Extra get removed after 2 months?

sniper_samurai · 23-03-2023 5:09pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120392449#Comment_120392449

No, this is one of the shorter periods I've seen. I assume it's to try and get people to buy the newly released 2K23.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120392458#Comment_120392458

That makes sense. I'll distract him with some older WWE games I have for the PS4 so 😅

April's Monthly Games:

https://blog.playstation.com/2023/03/29/playstation-plus-monthly-games-for-april-meet-your-maker-sackboy-a-big-adventure-tails-of-iron/

Sackboy: A Big Adventure

Tails of Irons

Meet Your Maker (previously announced)

Happy with that - Sackboy trial was lovely, ad almost bought Tails of Iron a few times in sales.

JimBurnley · 29-03-2023 4:48pm

I think Sackboy has gone under the radar to some degree, a joyous and enjoyable platformer

jj880 · 29-03-2023 4:49pm

Jaysus. Paid 70 euro for sackboy from Currys. Damn you Santa! 😅

Potential-Monke · 29-03-2023 8:04pm

Been patiently waiting for Sackboy since it launched. I knew it would eventually be added. Happy with that. Meet your Maker could be interesting, and Tails of Iron looks solid too. A great month in fairness, if these games are your type of thing.

jj880 · 30-03-2023 7:56am

That price was at launch as I wanted junior to have some physical games to open for Christmas. Sackboy is similar to astro in gameplay but the co-op is excellent. Soundtrack is top drawer too. Enemies dancing along to Uptown Funk before attacking you. Great addition to ps plus.

For what its worth, Sackboy has a load of free add-ons, looks to be a load of costumes. Havent played the game so not sure what they add, but probably just visual content.

marcbrophy · 04-04-2023 11:32am

Well, I just clicked on about 50 free add-ons for sackboy on mobile, so I hope it was worth it :D

Damien360 · 04-04-2023 12:53pm

48 costumes. I counted !

Not letting me download it from the app at the minute, the other two games are fine. Bit weird.

Potential-Monke · 04-04-2023 8:21pm

I apparently played the demo of it as I had a bit unlocked already. Quickly remembered its a very... easy game. Bored already. Heard Meet Your Maker is janky, so gonna give Tails of Iron a go.

marcbrophy · 04-04-2023 10:22pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120440534#Comment_120440534

I might have downloaded everyone's allowance with all the add-ons I got! :D

jj880 · 04-04-2023 10:46pm

I cant remember whats required to unlock the speedruns but some of them are very tough to get the gold times. On some levels you need someone to join in for co-op but its worth doing. They are great. Especially if you have a younger player in the family.

😂😂😂

Thankfully it works fine from the console itself. It might be a bit of relief from playing Sekiro atm. 😁

petes · 05-04-2023 9:48am

Tried all 3 yesterday evening, Sackboy is okay but yeah probably easy and just a good game to play for a bit, the other two are shite 🤣

Awful lot of Microsoft/Bethesda games there.

Andrew76 · 12-04-2023 6:47pm

lol just bought Kena for 18 quid in a sale recently, haven’t started it yet. Typical. 😁

Potential-Monke · 12-04-2023 8:12pm

Riders Republic, nice. Been waiting for that one. Can see myself spending some time with it, liked the demo of it but I'm against buying MT loaded games these days. Kena is a great little game, not sure if I finished it so will check it out again. Haven't played Wolfenstein 2 either, so yeah, pretty good month imo.

El Gato De Negocios · 13-04-2023 12:06pm

Thats actually a pretty significant list, I def won't get the few I had earmarked done by the time they leave, bit of a shame there really but considering my backlog, it may not be a bad thing to cull some items from it
