You beat me lol. Good lineup for Extra, OK for Premium in comparison to the whole year. We're finally getting Ridge Racers 2, but knowing Bamco, it probably won't be available for individual purchase. :pie_frowning:

Pretty good! I would definitely be interested in giving Judgement a shot along with Pedestrian.

Feel like they do need to communicate when stuff is leaving the service much better. Valhalla apparently leaving this months, if I knew I might've given it a chance. No point in starting a 100+ hour game when I know I won't be able to finish it. Feels like they should announce those games leaving at least like 3 months in advance

Nothing really to write home about with respect to PS5 IMO. Yakuza was just on essential so its pretty dry for PS5.

Judgment PS5 version is a good get, as SEGA was too greedy to upgrade PS4 version of it. Definitely will play and maybe will bother to get another platinum, though i still have terrifying puyo puyo flashbacks

I liked WWE 2K22, but it lacked soul outside the Rey Mysterio campaign; his historical matches are pretty cool, but the other campaign option isn't all that interesting.

It will never happen, but makes me wish there was a Shut Your Mouth/Here Comes the Pain remake.

Good lineup but already own most of the games and some of them already been offered in PS+ lowest tier before. Gonna try out FarCry 5 and some other smaller games after im done with Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Shold take me some time since im still not done with ME1.

Valhalla has been in the "Leaving Soon" section since last month. The section is just not that visible since you need to scroll down the main PS+ page to see it. They could make a tab just for the games leaving soon.

So, Ryu ga Gotoku Studios is carrying extra and premium or is it just me?
It's the last bunch of RGGS games, and seems like they also added all of possible Ubisoft games, beside maybe FC6, as well. Interesting how Extra's line-ups will look like in the next months.

This is 25 games...some of them include more than one like Mass Effect Trilogy.

Say what you want but if Premium was like this every month this would be the best videogame subscription by far...Extra is getting crazy. In a year we'll have everything worth something from the PS4 era lmao.
 
I have a sub but no console at the moment.
Once we claim these games, they are grandfathered into our accounts or will they still be removed if somehow that game leaves the service or is no longer included in our subscription? I am guessing the latter? :/

Glad to see it here. I almost bought it recently on sale.

Highly recommend Judgment for those who like the Yakuza games. Has some hilarious characters and missions.

As for Far Cry New Dawn: For someone who liked 3, Primal, and 6 (haven't played 4 yet), how is New Dawn?
I found the main story of Judgment, better than any of the main Yakuza games. Side stories and activities are still better in some of the main Yakuza games, especially Yakuza 0. Also liked alot the characters from Judgement.

This insanely slow drip feed of PS1 games really sucks. Oddworld is amazing, happy to have that, but it's just too little and not frequent enough. No reason to have premium at this point, the middle tier is where it's at and then IF they ever add a PS1 game you want, just pay the 5-10 bucks and buy it individually.

My only complaint is that theres a lot of games in there that were given away with ps plus over the years :
- Mortal Shell
-Yakuza Like a dragon
- Middle earth shadow of war

All big games this month that have been given away before
Adventure time also was in PS Now catalog before rebranding. At least Mortal Shell now have PS5 version, iirc it was only for PS4 last time

Fair enough but at the same time what I'm saying is that these games aren't like a movie that you can scratch off before leaving the service. A 100+ hour game can take many months to complete so still not much in terms of a heads up. Almost need them to announce when a game is leaving the service as soon as it's added to allow people to plan ahead

Yeah it would be better if we could see the expiration date of each game as soon as they are added. Valhalla is indeed a long ass game. I spent 140h in the game and skipped alot of side content.

Nice to see some good editions to PSP/PS1 collection.

With that said, I pretty much already have every game purchased for this month’s PS+ Extra offering. Kinda shocked, but overall a good haul from Ubi.

I’d recommend Pedestrian, Far Cry 5 & Judgment 100%

The Mass Effect remasters must be the laziest remasters I have ever seen. What has been improved other than textures looking a bit sharper...

I love that Sony still puts great stuff in Essential. Unlike Extra/Premium (and GP), the stuff in Essential will never be taken off the service.
