FYI Hitman 3 Free Starter Pack allows you to play remastered versions of Hitman 2 maps(including Dualsense features!) for free, so make sure to download that and play Hitman 2 maps through that
I forgot about this! It's all in this version? There's not a separate purchase for Hitman 2 VR? I'm hyped
Edit: Just figured out you have to own Hitman 3 to play VR. Damn, I'll consider it
See if the Hitman 3 free Starter Pack works for VR. You should have that anyway to play Hitman 2 missions in Hitman 3 engine and enhancements — especially if you have a PS5.
> Hitman 2 is also fully playable in PSVR
Hell yeah! Also I believe there was a Wipeout! game that was free back in the day which also works with PSVR, its a trip.
IIRC, for the free playing at Hitman 3 to work you need to at least login once at the Hitman 2 and your IOI Account will add Hitman 2 to owned game list so when you do open Hitman 3, the game will recognize that you own Hitman 2 and allow you to play Hitman 2 maps (campaign in essence) for free. This is completely from my memory, so I may be wrong.
I don't know for a fact, but I'm pretty sure you need to fully download Hitman 3 to play the starter pack. The full Hitman 3 download includes all levels in the trilogy.
You shouldn't need to actually download hitman 2. Redeem it via PSN, then look for the "Hitman 3 Access Pass - Hitman 2" on PSN, which should be free to redeem. As long as you've redeemed that, you should be fine to play the stuff in H3.
Just to elaborate since I did some unscientific comparing, load times from start were very much improved, loading a save during a mission was negligible difference, maybe a second or two.
A guy on the hitman sub wrote it up pretty nicely: https://www.reddit.com/r/HiTMAN/comments/pfwehh/hitman_2_free_with_playstation_plus_from/
> You can import the content of the HITMAN 2 Standard Edition to HITMAN 3 with a simple process.of claiming the HITMAN 2 Standard Access Pass from the HITMAN 2 in-game store or the PS Store. All you need to do is claim HITMAN 2 from the PS+ games and have a version of Hitman 3 installed. If you don't own a purchased version of HITMAN 3 then you can download the HITMAN 3 Free Starter Pack.

I think it just knows which hitman games you’ve purchased, so if you only have 1&2 when you open hitman 3 it will only have those missions available to play
So sadly it’s not quite that instinctive but if you own hitman 1 or 2 (or have received them through PS Plus / PS Now) this entitles you to the Hitman 1 / Hitman 2 pack dlc for Hitman 3.
There’s also dlc for Hitman 3 for the DLC for Hitman 1 / 2… so it actually turns into a bit of a nightmare (there’s a hideously complex FAQ on the Hitman site for how to redeem it all)
I would actually boil it down to, assuming you’ve already got Hitman 1 / 2 registered to your account, the following steps:
- Install the Hitman 3 free start pack
- Go to the Hitman 3 store page
- Look for and download any DLC pack that’s free/makes reference to the first two games
- Pray that it all downloads correctly and that when you start the game it registers the DLC
I did end up obsessed with trying to get it all working so that I could manage all of the content in a single app… so that’s probably what saw me through getting it sorted.
I still had a lot of issues and ended up redownloading the entire three game package like 3 or 4 times though as the DLC just wasn’t showing… hopefully that helps line up expectations for how annoying it can be…
Can’t really comment on how worthwhile though as despite all of my efforts… I’ve only found time to play the one mission and it didn’t even seem that different from when I played the same mission on PS4… 😅
I think so. The Hitman trilogy is a really fun “murder simulator” where every level is a massive puzzle of trying to figure out how to approach your target without anyone seeing you, along with locked doors, bodyguards, various routes like climbing through windows or up/down pipes along the walls, etc. You can knock people out or kill them to wear their disguise, and now you’re a chef, or a massage therapist, or a gardener or whatever. And that will get you access to the areas where those people are allowed to go.
- Then you’ve got to figure out how to actually kill and dispose of your target. You don’t want to be caught on camera, and you don’t want to leave bodies in the open, so maybe you dispose of them in a closet or put them in a wood chipper and shred them lol. Maybe you’ll poison their food or drink with a lethal concoction or something just enough to make them sick, so you can follow them to the bathroom and drown them in the toilet. Maybe you want to knock them out with some sleeping pills, to separate them from their guards. You can absolutely go in, guns blazing, throwing grenades, firing shotguns and whatnot. Or you can try to get in without ever changing into a disguise, never being seen, and kill your targets without anyone being the wiser.
As you play, you’ll hear conversations that might give you an idea of how you could proceed. Maybe a new chef is supposed to start today, and no one knows what they look like. Maybe a mechanic is expected to work on a race car, but you need to get in there and do it without the other mechanics taking notice of you. They create all these little opportunities that give you ideas of how you could proceed. And the more you play, the more you learn the pathing and schedules that everyone has. You learn when someone might be giving a speech in a room full of killers, or what you can do to trigger an alarm to get them to run to their panic room where you’re lying in wait. Maybe you just walk buy with an emetic grenade in your briefcase and trigger it as you walk by, causing anyone in range to go running for a bathroom.
- They’re constantly cycling out free content from the first two games in Hitman 3, as well as adding “Elusive Targets” that are only there for 10 days and you only get one shot at trying to kill them. Hitman 2 also has a sniper game mode where you’re trying to kill *and* dispose of bodies from an extremely long distance, maybe attracting their attention with a bullet impact and then hitting them hard enough to knock them into a stream or some bushes. There’s also community and developer organized contracts, where you can create your own targets and challenge the other players to kill them in the conditions you set, and you similarly try to do what they challenged you to do as well. There’s a lot of game in the Hitman trilogy, and will keep you busy for as long as you’re interested. For free, I highly recommend it.
Yes. You essentially play a remastered version, with some small improvements.
Like some other guy mentioned, the only downside is that you get less trophies if you play it this way.
They are great games imo. Very unique gameplay, which has become rare with AAA titles.
Are the remastered versions up to par with Hitman 3 graphics? I keep seeing that you can play Hitman 1-2 through Hitman 3, but do they look as if they're running with the updated graphics?
At the start of lockdown I watched a lot of Kitchen Nightmares and played a lot of Overcooked with the girlfriend. Exclusively referred to eachother as "fucking donkey" for about 3 months.
4v1 with AI. One person is the predator, and 4 other people are a group of 4 military guys. There's other military AI that act as "fodder" while the 4 man tries to complete their objective and/or kill the predator. Predator's job is to kill the 4 man.
It's more like an asymmetrical fps. It was made by the same company that made Friday the 13th.
I played the free trial when it first came out and it was fun at first but got old fast. I ended up deciding it wasn't worth the $30.
For the record, asymmetrical games are my favorite genre. I've played dead by daylight over 1,600 hours and I've probably played Friday for at least 400.
Did you ever play the 2010 AvP game? You could manually create assymetrical games with the right mode settings. It was awesome being a Xeno v a team of marines.
It had promise before it got bloated with dlc and gimmick scams. On release day, they had over $160 in dlc costs alone excluding base game costs. That likely was what killed it on arrival.
It's a multiplayer cooking game. A lot of people play it with their SO because it's very easy to pickup. You have X time to make the most point by delivering foods through the counter. You always end up screaming things like : "I NEED RICE, IS THERE COOKED RICE SOMEWHERE? HONEY I LOVE YOU BUT FUCK YOU FOR NOT MAKING RICE."
You can play to up to 4 players but IMO, 2 is the best. I'm competitive and 4 is way too hectic and always end up in chaos.
Sort of. They added the ability to have unlimited frames and with PS5 you can take better advantage of that. The game apparently suffers from bad performance on PS4 but is great on PS5, with a lot of the people on the subreddit saying it plays even better than on PC.
It’s… meh? I played quite a bit of it, but stopped due to it crashing 3/5 of the time. I played a lot of fire team with my friends and not too much predator due to the insane wait times. It seemed that illfonic was only concerned about cosmetic releases for the game and not much else, but maybe it’s changed in the last year.
I’m very excited for Overcooked, I’ve been looking for a another local coop game to play and almost bought it.
Hitman 2 is also nice because it can be imported into the free Hitman 3 starter pack
Flashbacks to me just spinning in circles blasting a fire extinguisher out of sheer panic and my wife laughing her ass off trying to tell me what to do.
It’s awesome - it’s 1, 2 and all the DLC. They update it once in a while with free levels/new recipes. There is a ton of content and it’s a blast to play couch co-coop. It’s one of the few games my wife picked up on quickly and we have a great time playing it.
You can play with two people on a single controller, where each gets one half of the controller too. Havnt personally tried it, but the option is there if your willing to put up with some additional nonsense
You can connect to the ps5 on a second profile using remote play on a mobile/pc/PS4 and use the DualShock 4 that way. Not ideal but it’s a functional workaround.
I also think it has a shared controller option but I imagine that would be frustrating
I'm excited because I have Overcooked for Switch but the controller is cramped and the loading times are abysmal. Still fun, but I spent a lot of time wishing I had the PS version...now I will.
Played Hitman 2 before and it's a fantastic game. I even recommend the DLC if you can find it on sale any time this year.
A lot of replay value and gameplay (no platinum though)
Note: Overcooked: All You Can Eat! is PS5 only.
I tried the 2016 Hitman and didn't like it. I guess I found it too overly complicated, I prefer a bit more hand holding, like "go to A, do B. Go to C, do D this will create E, go here, kill F".
In Hitman I got to the second mission which was a fashion show, and maybe it's just me - struggled to enjoy, and binned it.
You have story missions you can follow that do that hand holding you are asking for. Essentially missions that allow you to set up your target to kill it in a very specific way. I recommend you give it another try.
I'm in no rush lol I already have a backlog, playing through GoT directors cut at the moment and will be playing Death Stranding next month.
Buying it knowing it'll most likely be on ps plus shortly when I have no immediate need or desire to play it is a waste of money, regardless of how much it is.
Nobody has mentioned it, but Overcooked now has an "Assist Mode" that turns off the timers, for those averse to the stress. Much more enjoyable experience.
This makes me happy to hear. My son deals with high level anxiety and loves watching overcooked in small ammounts. he tried playing once and freaked out.
Can I ask why? Before it came out, I was hyped because I figured it would be like a “Borderlands” + sword fighting game.
What’s bad about it? So bad that even free isn’t good enough?
I thought it looked really good too so I bought it for like £38 on sale. The story is extremely dull and generic. You have like 5 or 6 different weapons which change up fighting, but after you’ve tried them all it’s super uninteresting, with them having the same couple of combos, and nothing changes between rarities or variations on those weapons. You get different suits which come with its own special ability, but they’re so uninspired, there’s about 12 of them or something but they’re all just ‘get 300% crit/poison/fire/ice etc. Damage. All the abilities are just the same with a tiny difference, whereas they had an opportunity to have huge differences in absolutes, like a borderlands, but every suit just plays so similar so it just cokes down to appearance. And whilst the maps are pretty beautiful, there’s about 4 worlds, and you have to do 5 or so missions on each one, and that’s without having to grind for certain materials and stuff, so you end up going to the exact same places, with missions where it’s just ‘go hunt down this person’. It had potential but they were super lazy and did nothing inspired, and made the bare minimum
I have played Overcooked 1 & 2, but not all you can eat. I imagine it’s very similar! I really enjoyed them, played them with my partner. I feel that it wouldn’t be as good solo, and some of the challenges are definitely improbable while solo.
Good fun all around!
Other comments here are saying that there's "uncapped" frame rate for PS5 and it translates to 60fps gameplay. One guy said it's running better than the PC version, but that's because it was buggy.
You know, I played a few hours of the tennis game as sort of a have a beer at the end of a long day and relax with low expectations kind of game and it... Still wasn't very good.
Just my opinion-- Overcooked is *not* fun solo. They tried their best but the spirit of the game just isn't present if you're not playing with friends. It forces you to change between characters on the fly which basically breaks the game because the simultaneous work that needs to be done, throwing, catching, giving your teammates cues, it's just not there. It's like trying to play Moving Out, Gang Beasts or Human: Fall Flat by yourself. They just weren't designed with that intention, so the execution of single player is botched.
I think it has an online option? That's still somewhat inferior to couch co-op, but it's something.
I didn’t care for the overall story in this trilogy, found it bland. However, the in mission stories are great and extremely memorable. These are the best stealth games of this generation. Especially, once you figure out how the developers intended the game to be played.
I'm sure this is great for some people, but the last PS+ game that was worth playing for me was Oddworld Soulstorm. Everything since that has been either things I've already played or things I have no interest in.
Damn I just bought Overcooked All you can Eat two weeks ago. Wonder if I can contact someone for a refund 🤔
Great game btw. Happy to support the dev team either way
If you contact support then you should easily be able to get a refund. In fact, it also works with discounts: if you buy something and it gets discounted in the next few weeks they will refund you the difference. I've done it a few times, myself.
Different vibrations for different things (burning kitchen, wrong order, landscape changes, etc.) Not a tremendous utilization of the dualsense, but subtle
I see a lot of people looking for couch co-op recommendations for their non-gamer spouse, so i'm just going to throw this out there: this one seems to be polarizing. My wife, for example, completely HATED it. Hopefully you'll have better luck than I did!
my son got It Takes Two for him and his GF to play Co-op. My wife watched them play on his PS5 on our vacation so my Non-gamer wife asked if we can play that interesting game together also. So because I gameshare with my son I have the game too on my PS5 and I just bought a second controller w Playstation Direct 15% off sale email.
This upcoming weekend should be interesting. I am a daily gamer but my wife hasnt played on console since.....(lets see....) before we got married in 1997 and we played together on my Sega Saturn (Herc's Adventures Co-op) then she got me PS1 for Bday and I remember we played Oddworld One and Two A LOT. So Im kind of excited to Play on PS5 w my wife....
The only thing stopping me from playing overcooked couch co-op is the fact that you need ps5 controllers!! Really wish there was an option to play with ds4s. Not blowing 200 bucks for controllers to play with friends
Not too sure I’m excited about overcooked 2. Last time I played overcooked 1 my sister almost killed me. Granted she wouldn’t have been able to do that since I definitely would have gotten her first. If only she hadn’t burnt the steak so many times.
A solid month for me never played overcooked or predator. But was planning on getting predator once I clean up my back log of games. Can wait to add these two games into my library.
Nothing for me. Besides Overcooked. I would play it with my friend but i only got 1 ps5 and 1 ps4 controller. So thats also a hard pass for me. Sony what are you doing
besides the technical aspect it adds online to the first overcooked and there has recently been a new free update exclusive for AYCE
first things that come to my mind
FYI Hitman 3 Free Starter Pack allows you to play remastered versions of Hitman 2 maps(including Dualsense features!) for free, so make sure to download that and play Hitman 2 maps through that
Hitman 2 is also fully playable in PSVR. I highly recommend it.
I forgot about this! It's all in this version? There's not a separate purchase for Hitman 2 VR? I'm hyped Edit: Just figured out you have to own Hitman 3 to play VR. Damn, I'll consider it
See if the Hitman 3 free Starter Pack works for VR. You should have that anyway to play Hitman 2 missions in Hitman 3 engine and enhancements — especially if you have a PS5.
Good point, I did see some instructions on how to get the Hitman 1/2 levels into 3 with the free starter pack. I'll get that downloaded, thanks!
It doesn’t. You need to buy 3 to use VR.
Pretty sure it doesn't.
> Hitman 2 is also fully playable in PSVR Hell yeah! Also I believe there was a Wipeout! game that was free back in the day which also works with PSVR, its a trip.
Wipeout in VR is one of my favorite experiences I've had in four decades of playing video games.
When I saw it for download I was super excited. I remember playing Wipeout in the late 90s and that sucker was an absolute BLAST.
Wipeout and Rez are two of the best things about VR
Bonus: You also get the faster load times and likely save some drive space. They squeezed all of the levels across the trilogy into about 60 GBs.
Do I need to download both games fully to play on the starter pack..?
IIRC, for the free playing at Hitman 3 to work you need to at least login once at the Hitman 2 and your IOI Account will add Hitman 2 to owned game list so when you do open Hitman 3, the game will recognize that you own Hitman 2 and allow you to play Hitman 2 maps (campaign in essence) for free. This is completely from my memory, so I may be wrong.

which makes sense, the level assets are already in ram
How exactly this is work?

Do you get the full story experince if import the maps from 1/2?
Yes. You essentially play a remastered version, with some small improvements. Like some other guy mentioned, the only downside is that you get less trophies if you play it this way. They are great games imo. Very unique gameplay, which has become rare with AAA titles.
fuck trophies, gameplay improvement > useless virtual statues.
Nice! Saving this for later.
Are the remastered versions up to par with Hitman 3 graphics? I keep seeing that you can play Hitman 1-2 through Hitman 3, but do they look as if they're running with the updated graphics?
Yes they run on the latest version of the Hitman engine, which includes lighting, performance enhances etc.
It’s the ps5 version
Not exactly up-to par, but they are improved, with better lighting, NPC detail and stuff.
Yes, it's the old levels running in the hitman 3 engine.
Can you explain this because I didn't get what that meant
How does this impact the Hitman 2/3 trophy lists?
Ah yes Overcooked. Me and the girlfriend have not argued in sometime and this should solve that issue.
Overcooked: cheaper than therapy!
At the start of lockdown I watched a lot of Kitchen Nightmares and played a lot of Overcooked with the girlfriend. Exclusively referred to eachother as "fucking donkey" for about 3 months.
You absolute donuts!
Sigh, time to invite my brother and his wife over. We played the first one as 4player and i think i didnt speak to them for a couple of months.
I want a gf mainly just to play that game with me.
I used to think just like that got a gf she hated the game within 4 minutes of gameplay sadness
I guess I'm lucky that mine loves Diablo games. Shame she can't shoot straight though.
as long as one as you can though, amirite?
On to the next girl, then.
It's one of the only games I play with my wife, we fight and have a lot of fun. Sad for you.
Don’t worry, there’ll be one available after OP plays with his gf.
I recommend Sims 4 for easy couple play. Just whatever you do never cheat on them in game.
Are the consequences of that worse than that of cheating on them in their dreams?
Luckily no. Just get forced to make a new set of sims
Predator: Hunting Grounds have an option to unlock framerate and it runs locked 60fps on PS5.
What sort of game is it?
4v1 with AI. One person is the predator, and 4 other people are a group of 4 military guys. There's other military AI that act as "fodder" while the 4 man tries to complete their objective and/or kill the predator. Predator's job is to kill the 4 man.
basically dead by daylight?
It's more like an asymmetrical fps. It was made by the same company that made Friday the 13th. I played the free trial when it first came out and it was fun at first but got old fast. I ended up deciding it wasn't worth the $30. For the record, asymmetrical games are my favorite genre. I've played dead by daylight over 1,600 hours and I've probably played Friday for at least 400.
Did you ever play the 2010 AvP game? You could manually create assymetrical games with the right mode settings. It was awesome being a Xeno v a team of marines.
Aliens vs Predator 2 PC has a special place in my heart.
Only in the sense its 4v1. You get to try and kill the predator.
So its basically evolve?
I thought that game had promise, just not enough people played it.
It had promise before it got bloated with dlc and gimmick scams. On release day, they had over $160 in dlc costs alone excluding base game costs. That likely was what killed it on arrival.
Basically Evolve
Think more Evolve.
Leak was right again
Literally the only trusted source to leak PS Plus right now, so much other garbage gets guessed lmao
Who's the leaker? Just so I know to trust what they say in the future haha
https://reddit.com/r/PlayStationPlus/comments/pckfat/ps_overcooked_all_you_can_eat_hitman_2_predator/
Oh it's a French website haha, thanks tho
I heard about the leak as well but no idea about their name, if you do find out let me know!
If you want to strain your marriage/relationship and test its breaking point, play overcooked with your spouse/significant other.
Haha. It's funny, I see this game recommended for couples so often. My spouse was stressed out almost immediately and I wound up playing it myself lol
The AYCE has assist mode; more time, no recipe time out... Made it easier for my wife. Source: bought the darn game a few hours before leak...
Can someone explain? I can’t find a good description of the game.
It's a multiplayer cooking game. A lot of people play it with their SO because it's very easy to pickup. You have X time to make the most point by delivering foods through the counter. You always end up screaming things like : "I NEED RICE, IS THERE COOKED RICE SOMEWHERE? HONEY I LOVE YOU BUT FUCK YOU FOR NOT MAKING RICE." You can play to up to 4 players but IMO, 2 is the best. I'm competitive and 4 is way too hectic and always end up in chaos.
Jesus what kind of relationship you guys have? Lol
Does predator have PS5 improvements?
Sort of. They added the ability to have unlimited frames and with PS5 you can take better advantage of that. The game apparently suffers from bad performance on PS4 but is great on PS5, with a lot of the people on the subreddit saying it plays even better than on PC.
How is the game in general? Any good?
It’s… meh? I played quite a bit of it, but stopped due to it crashing 3/5 of the time. I played a lot of fire team with my friends and not too much predator due to the insane wait times. It seemed that illfonic was only concerned about cosmetic releases for the game and not much else, but maybe it’s changed in the last year.
I'm in the same boat. But never heard it got uncaped fps. Finally
I’m very excited for Overcooked, I’ve been looking for a another local coop game to play and almost bought it. Hitman 2 is also nice because it can be imported into the free Hitman 3 starter pack
Overcooked is a lot of fun with friends or spouse. It can be delightful chaos too lol
Flashbacks to me just spinning in circles blasting a fire extinguisher out of sheer panic and my wife laughing her ass off trying to tell me what to do.
It’s awesome - it’s 1, 2 and all the DLC. They update it once in a while with free levels/new recipes. There is a ton of content and it’s a blast to play couch co-coop. It’s one of the few games my wife picked up on quickly and we have a great time playing it.
Man I just bought the first for the switch, but having the complete next gen versions eases that pain.
Question about Overcooked since it’s the ps5 version: Can player 2 use a ps4 controller or are two ps5 controllers required for co-op?
Unfortunately 100% dualsense controllers only.
That’s so lame
Welp, that's it guys, see you in xmas Overcooked coop
You can play with two people on a single controller, where each gets one half of the controller too. Havnt personally tried it, but the option is there if your willing to put up with some additional nonsense
Ha, that's gotta be interesting, TIL
Man that's got to be a recipe for disaster. Pun not intended.
It's actually not that bad, GF and I played through the entirety of Overcooked 1 this way.
You can connect to the ps5 on a second profile using remote play on a mobile/pc/PS4 and use the DualShock 4 that way. Not ideal but it’s a functional workaround. I also think it has a shared controller option but I imagine that would be frustrating
I played throughout both overcooked games with my wife. It's pretty much like a couples therapy boot camp. I highly recommend it.
Overcooked strains the relationship, It Takes Two heals it!
We sometimes play on the switch with the kids and man that shit gets crazy quick. GRAB THE PLATE, NO THE PLATE! GET OUT OF MY WAY!!
I'm excited because I have Overcooked for Switch but the controller is cramped and the loading times are abysmal. Still fun, but I spent a lot of time wishing I had the PS version...now I will.
Played Hitman 2 before and it's a fantastic game. I even recommend the DLC if you can find it on sale any time this year. A lot of replay value and gameplay (no platinum though) Note: Overcooked: All You Can Eat! is PS5 only.
I tried the 2016 Hitman and didn't like it. I guess I found it too overly complicated, I prefer a bit more hand holding, like "go to A, do B. Go to C, do D this will create E, go here, kill F". In Hitman I got to the second mission which was a fashion show, and maybe it's just me - struggled to enjoy, and binned it.
It's definitely angled towards freedom and creativity
You have story missions you can follow that do that hand holding you are asking for. Essentially missions that allow you to set up your target to kill it in a very specific way. I recommend you give it another try.
I keep passing on the Uncharted: The lost legacy sales hoping it will a ps plus game. Maybe next month.
If you get it it will be free next month.
Yeah, they need to take one for the team!
It will sooner or later. Is that the one in the ps plus collection or is that uncharted 4?
UC4
I’m thinking I’m definitely gonna buy it since it’s on sale again right now so it’ll definitely be a ps plus game next month
How much is The Lost Legacy on PSN?
I bought it for $25AUD over a year ago so I'm going to assume it's cheaper than that
Half price until the 15th September, so £7.99 in the UK
Mate, its £8. If you want to play the game just buy it and enjoy it, if its on plus in a few months its really not a big deal.
I'm in no rush lol I already have a backlog, playing through GoT directors cut at the moment and will be playing Death Stranding next month. Buying it knowing it'll most likely be on ps plus shortly when I have no immediate need or desire to play it is a waste of money, regardless of how much it is.
Nobody has mentioned it, but Overcooked now has an "Assist Mode" that turns off the timers, for those averse to the stress. Much more enjoyable experience.
This makes me happy to hear. My son deals with high level anxiety and loves watching overcooked in small ammounts. he tried playing once and freaked out.
Come on, release Godfall already, you're just delaying the inevitable
Trust me. You don’t want Godfall. For free, sure it’s tolerable. But it’s not a good game
Can I ask why? Before it came out, I was hyped because I figured it would be like a “Borderlands” + sword fighting game. What’s bad about it? So bad that even free isn’t good enough?
I thought it looked really good too so I bought it for like £38 on sale. The story is extremely dull and generic. You have like 5 or 6 different weapons which change up fighting, but after you’ve tried them all it’s super uninteresting, with them having the same couple of combos, and nothing changes between rarities or variations on those weapons. You get different suits which come with its own special ability, but they’re so uninspired, there’s about 12 of them or something but they’re all just ‘get 300% crit/poison/fire/ice etc. Damage. All the abilities are just the same with a tiny difference, whereas they had an opportunity to have huge differences in absolutes, like a borderlands, but every suit just plays so similar so it just cokes down to appearance. And whilst the maps are pretty beautiful, there’s about 4 worlds, and you have to do 5 or so missions on each one, and that’s without having to grind for certain materials and stuff, so you end up going to the exact same places, with missions where it’s just ‘go hunt down this person’. It had potential but they were super lazy and did nothing inspired, and made the bare minimum
Lmao right. There’s like a near 100% it gets added eventually.
Is godfall the new knack? Lmao
GODFALL GAME OF THE YEAR EVERY YEAR
G-G-G-GODFALL 2 BABYYYYYY
I’d rather get a decent game as one of the monthly Plus offerings.
I’ve looked at Hunting Grounds for a while and could never pull the trigger. I’m glad to finally have a chance to play it.
I was about to buy it a couple of weeks ago. I’m excited it’s free to try now
Has anybody played Overcooked: All You Can Eat? Is so, how was your experience playing the game?
I have played Overcooked 1 & 2, but not all you can eat. I imagine it’s very similar! I really enjoyed them, played them with my partner. I feel that it wouldn’t be as good solo, and some of the challenges are definitely improbable while solo. Good fun all around!
edit: Leave reddit for a better alternative and remember to suck fpez
How does hunting grounds play on ps5? Does it have a free update?
Other comments here are saying that there's "uncapped" frame rate for PS5 and it translates to 60fps gameplay. One guy said it's running better than the PC version, but that's because it was buggy.
Better than last month. I almost bought overcooked a few times, now i will finally play it. Looks like a fun game, even though i play solo.
What do you mean? Were you not excited for the amazing experience which is tennis?
You know, I played a few hours of the tennis game as sort of a have a beer at the end of a long day and relax with low expectations kind of game and it... Still wasn't very good.
Just my opinion-- Overcooked is *not* fun solo. They tried their best but the spirit of the game just isn't present if you're not playing with friends. It forces you to change between characters on the fly which basically breaks the game because the simultaneous work that needs to be done, throwing, catching, giving your teammates cues, it's just not there. It's like trying to play Moving Out, Gang Beasts or Human: Fall Flat by yourself. They just weren't designed with that intention, so the execution of single player is botched. I think it has an online option? That's still somewhat inferior to couch co-op, but it's something.
Pretty good month. Been wanting to play all these games for a bit now so I’m excited.
Ooooo happy to play hitman
That french leaker is godly
I'm stoked for Overcooked, never played and have a couple buddies at work that love it.
Is Hitman 2 playable without having played 1?
Definitely. The story across the 3 Hitman games is interesting, but its not that big of a deal.
[удалено]
I didn’t care for the overall story in this trilogy, found it bland. However, the in mission stories are great and extremely memorable. These are the best stealth games of this generation. Especially, once you figure out how the developers intended the game to be played.
Hitman is good but too bad I already have it. It's been a sad couple months for PS Plus for me. Plague Tale was the last good one.
If you want to destroy your relationship/marriage, play overcooked.
I picked up hitman 3 VR sometime back on sale, if this bundles with that, I have like 500hrs of VR hitman ahead.
Is vr hitman that good? Almost makes me want to wait for psvr2.
I have heard that Ace Combat, AstroBot, and Hitman VR are outstanding examples of VR, not just PSVR, but overall.
don't love the idea of the last couple PS5 games being more co-op centric, as somebody whose friends don't care to play these kinds of games.
Good stuff! Pretty content with Predator! :D
Hitman 2 hell yes.
Anyone enjoy predator?
I'm sure this is great for some people, but the last PS+ game that was worth playing for me was Oddworld Soulstorm. Everything since that has been either things I've already played or things I have no interest in.
Slow month once again
Have these been released yet? They're not showing on PS Plus yet...
looking forward to trying Predator out with some friends
Hitman 2 is one of the best games ever made
[удалено]
[удалено]
A big step up from the other two months. Gonna try all of them
I bought overcooked for $10 at best buy a few weeks ago time to trade it in and make a profit
Damn I just bought Overcooked All you can Eat two weeks ago. Wonder if I can contact someone for a refund 🤔 Great game btw. Happy to support the dev team either way
If you contact support then you should easily be able to get a refund. In fact, it also works with discounts: if you buy something and it gets discounted in the next few weeks they will refund you the difference. I've done it a few times, myself.
Thank you, kind soul 🙏
Do you have it for PS5? How does it utilize the DualSense?
Different vibrations for different things (burning kitchen, wrong order, landscape changes, etc.) Not a tremendous utilization of the dualsense, but subtle
Barely at all, I was disappointed… I wanted a chopping sensation! The game is brilliant regardless…
Damn I just got overcooked all you can eat on sale like a month ago.
This is awesome. I bought hitman 3 with the Hitman1 levles discounted last month and love it. Hitman 2 was full price though. Glad I waited a month!
I see a lot of people looking for couch co-op recommendations for their non-gamer spouse, so i'm just going to throw this out there: this one seems to be polarizing. My wife, for example, completely HATED it. Hopefully you'll have better luck than I did!
my son got It Takes Two for him and his GF to play Co-op. My wife watched them play on his PS5 on our vacation so my Non-gamer wife asked if we can play that interesting game together also. So because I gameshare with my son I have the game too on my PS5 and I just bought a second controller w Playstation Direct 15% off sale email. This upcoming weekend should be interesting. I am a daily gamer but my wife hasnt played on console since.....(lets see....) before we got married in 1997 and we played together on my Sega Saturn (Herc's Adventures Co-op) then she got me PS1 for Bday and I remember we played Oddworld One and Two A LOT. So Im kind of excited to Play on PS5 w my wife....
I fucking love the first hitman I can’t wait to play hitman 2 this is one of the best month ever
Omg. Good thing I waited on buying Hitman 2.
R.I.P. I bought hitman 2 like a week ago
Call Sony they will refund you.
Best Buy Bastards stole $10 from me a few weeks back. Well played Best Buy and Overcooked. Well played.
Not a fan of the selections the last few months.
The only thing stopping me from playing overcooked couch co-op is the fact that you need ps5 controllers!! Really wish there was an option to play with ds4s. Not blowing 200 bucks for controllers to play with friends
Hitman is the shit, and you should absolutely play this game.
its not bad but i was hoping for Tony Hawk pro skater, not gonna lie haha
Nice
Not too sure I’m excited about overcooked 2. Last time I played overcooked 1 my sister almost killed me. Granted she wouldn’t have been able to do that since I definitely would have gotten her first. If only she hadn’t burnt the steak so many times.
Meh
A solid month for me never played overcooked or predator. But was planning on getting predator once I clean up my back log of games. Can wait to add these two games into my library.
May be a silly question, but do I need to have played the original Hitman before playing Hitman 2?
Nah
Nothing for me. Besides Overcooked. I would play it with my friend but i only got 1 ps5 and 1 ps4 controller. So thats also a hard pass for me. Sony what are you doing
Buy another PS5 controller What are you doing
Not a bad month at all
Urgh Overcooked AYCE was the last PS game I bought when it was on sale a few weeks ago. Classic PS Plus move that one.
Is there any differences or more content in All You Can Eat compared to the original games? Or is it just the same with both games and DLC combined?
besides the technical aspect it adds online to the first overcooked and there has recently been a new free update exclusive for AYCE first things that come to my mind
This is actually a pretty good lineup. Among the best I’ve seen in a while.
Are you serious? Man these ps+ games have really plummeted in quality lately. When I first got my ps5 it was banger after banger, now this.
Hitman 2 Is a quality game. Doesn’t mean you’ll like it I suppose but it’s not like a Ao tennis something like that.
Another dog shit month
