Yes as far as I remember it was just Resogun, but Resogun was so fun. I was kind of hoping we would get a launch sequel for PS5.

Hey now, you are only allowed to like chill cutesy games if you play on the Switch.
Them's the rules!
I too will check out Bugsnax, in between other games as you said.

True. I don't intend to get a PS5 anytime soon, but I would have liked the opportunity to get Bugsnax through PS Plus.
Sony used to be really good with their handling of cross-buy games on PS Plus in the past, where the game was given out on all available platforms. It's a shame that they've decided to renege on this policy now.

Makes perfect sense. I wouldn't have bought either. Now I'm downloading both. My baby daughter will LOVE the Bugsnax music at least. That's a huge plus. I can turn that game on and let her smack the controller for 20 minutes and just smile, while I'm washing the dishes.
It's 3 launch games for free. Astro's Playroom is free too.

True, that's such a funny observation.

I bought it just after it was (supposedly) patched, partially because it was on a decent sale, but also to see how grindy the endgame really is.
And... I still couldn't be arsed to finish it, still way too grindy for my taste. But when I looked up the ending on Youtube - yeah, it most certainly wouldn't have been worth the effort.

So in the end I will play bugsnax and the other game « all star » thing ...
Who would have thought that?
Not me.

I'm glad I'm going to be able to get these games with plus, but damn some of you are acting like Bugsnax and Destruction all stars are 5 star games. The real winner is getting Hollow Knight anyways.

WTF 3, who needs GamePass when you get games for free. Sony playing 4D chess here.
Jokes aside thats actually pretty dope, they're new games who cares who good they are, you will have some fun with them no matter what. Nice move from Sony.

I mean, the latter obviously isn't a five star game - it's an all star game, it says so right in the title.

Shame, i'll redeem it at least but put it on the backburner. I LOVE the first game, hate to see they messed it up, they started so strong.
Gotta POST that fine print, so far the wording has been PS5 ONLY.

Are you not familiar with PS Plus? This is how it's always been, and both of those titles aren't launch titles, they are just PS4 titles (very good games though), only one is PS5.

Well, if it's any consolation, the endgame is like the "ending-ending" - there is a conclusion to the story (as nonsensical as it can be) before that. And while I do have a lot of issues with the story (if the first game played it a bit loose with the lore, this one takes a Hummer and repeatedly drives over it), mechanically it's better than the first game. So if you enjoyed the gameplay, you should be good.

That mush is obvious, still, as a PS+ member you pay the same price to receive less.

Well, the competition is giving away practically every game they make on subscription now, so it's been interesting to think about how Sony would try to compete (or not try; GamePass is an unskippable deal, but if you're not in that ecosystem, I feel like I'm contently blind to it, just getting a few PlayStation "hits" on Plus and a few old NES/SNES ROMs on my Switch.)
(*I already forgot about the "PlayStation Plus Collection", which puts a ton of Sony first-party titles and a few third-party games on the service; that's been a response to GamePass already.)
First-run titles would seemingly need to be part of their marketing at some point, but will Sony start making games specifically for PS Plus (or tailoring the DLC longtail for a 'free' first hit?) And/or will they define again their PS+ program as to how many PS4, PS5 "hits", and PS5 launch games will release in a month? Will they be confirming alongside the first announcement of certain games that they are PS Plus-bound? (Destruction All-Stars has its unfortunate history, but it is interesting that this is the first game with a PS Plus release announced months before it actually comes to market.)
Meanwhile, will Microsoft's GamePass cash-burn cap out (like Netflix eventually did and they had to start dropping the axe on even notable shows,) and will anything they do with GamePass change over this console run, or is just having a deathstar subscription deal with AAA MS and Bethesda and other titles on tap enough drive to last a full console generation or more and make Xbox consumers permanently devoted to its marketplace? This may well be where the real next-generation battle takes place...
...Or, Sony's just giving away Bugsnax because it's got to be something, and why not Bugsnax?

Doesn't the PS5 come with a free game out of the box, which is a next generation game and now with Bugsnax which is also a next generation game. And I am aware PS Plus, just wasn't expecting a next gen game to be included right away.

Bugsnax is the free PS Plus game, yes, you get it as long as you are a PS Plus subscriber. And yeah, the same thing happened at the PS4 launch. You gotta find something else to troll, champ.

They are incentives to pickup a ps5, especially for those new comers to playstation ecosystem
