I'm definitely late to the party but this game is all sorts of fun. And the kids live it too. I'm awful. Made it to one final, though, and lost rather quickly. It was Thin Ice. 

Had my PS5 since Sunday and I'm absolutely loving it so far. Sackboy alone has been much more fun than I'd have ever guessed. Watched my boy play it for a bit then had to get down on co-op. Haven't gotten into Bugsnax or Demolition yet. Definitely been enjoying Astro's Playground. I remember trying out the Playroom on PS4 when I first got it and definitely wanted to play more, but didn't want the camera thing. This is basically a game filled with basic fun and loads of nostalgia. 

Pre-kids I never had a desire to play Sackboy back on PS3 and I kind of regret it now. I'd never guess that would be my favorite game on a console thus far. Definitely glad to have my 5, though, even if I have a backlog I'll likely never beat on 3 and 4. 

I finally lucked out and snagged one via Gamestop. Comes in a bundle with Spider Man and Sackboy. I don't even mind, wanted to try Sackboy out for a long time. 

Is anyone playing WWE Battlegrounds? It's definitely fun, kids are loving it. 

That's awesome. Been wanting to try Street Fighter V for a while. 

Games like this I'd rather Boogeyman. I wish they'd go all out with the characters though and only put in wrestlers with gimmicks. Papa Shango, Ultimate Warrior, Giant Gonzales, The Goon, Fiend, Shock Master, Undertaker, and so on with a handful of top selling performers and legends. But with wacky games like this, if rather play as Doink than Daniel Bryan.

Definitely getting that!

Man oh man, I know I was really big on it when it came out at first - but the Mad Max game is really top notch stuff.

Doing another run through right now and I'm having a hard time thinking of a better collectathon, map-takeover styled game that feels as good as it does. Upgrading your car, your character and everything else just feels so rewarding and the world is gorgeous in an odd way - with a lot of care put into it. No two locations feel like complete copy and paste jobs (save for some of the scrap collection points, but even then there's small differences) and I can't recommend it enough.

I'm glad to see this game getting some love. One of my absolute favorites from the PS4 generation. 

The way Madden does packs in Ultimate Team is pretty straight forward. Albeit in my opinion far too expensive. It's a hard thing to decide because not everyone will ever be 100% pleased. 

I think the newer Assassins Creed games are prime examples of how that's perfect. You can buy time saver stuff, or you can buy cosmetics that don't make a difference to the gameplay. And of course they have a feature in game where you can actually get those cosmetics without spending real money.

I honestly think so long as you don't HAVE to pay to win, optional loot boxes and microtransactions are fine. It really is easy to just not buy something you don't want.

I'm hoping it is designed like that to let air flow properly and not turn the console into a rocket launch like the last two consoles.

I've had my 3 and 4 both since launch and I've noticed how loud my 4 had gotten. 3 still runs brand new. So the other day I unscrewed my 4 and was disgusted with how much dust was inside. I even took a Q Tip to all the fan blades and sprayed the whole thing out with air. It is practically silent again!!

Finished the MyPlayer story modem definitely enjoyed that! Glad I pushed through and beat it. Fun story and some cheesy stuff and unrealistic stuff, but on the whole I I definitely enjoyed!

The single player campaign is a lot of fun! I really enjoyed the game. Tried a bit of the multiplayer but it's not my jam. I enjoyed the campaign quite a bit though. Especially if you're a Star Wars fan I'd suggest it. Really cool story.

I liked Midnight's Pistol  a lot. Think I got it from an old gunslinger. 

Has anyone played a game called The Council? I've been eying it for a while and pcked it up today. Looks interesting enough. Curious on anyone else because I've heard nothing about it.

Did anyone play the story mode of this game? Since I can't trade it in at Gamestop I'm tempted to load it back up and actually try it out. 

I've been going through my backlog and beating a few of beat 'em up games with a buddy of mine. After about 9 years of no play, beat Scott Pilgrim and Double Dragon Neon on the PS3. Started up Darksiders as well and I'm pretty hooked instantly. Surprised I never played thia sooner. 

Oh nice, thank you. I haven't played current day EWR in 10 years so I'm grateful there's still mods!

You can beat the game in 15 minutes...

In the beginning, when Pagan Min tells you to "wait here", do it.  If you wait around 15 minutes, he'll come back then take you to the endgame.  Think you get an achievement/trophy for it too

 

No trophy 😢

Is there a recent pic pack at all?

I got Far Cry 4 years ago for free from Ubisoft because I had Assassins Creed Unity I think it was. Kind of lucked out I didn't play it right away because I played Rogue first, so by the time I played Unity all the bugs were fixed and I had Far Cry 4 free. Of course I forgot about it until now so...

I'm thinking the exciting news is an empty Performance Center arena.

Mad Max is easily one of my favorite PS4 games. Great combat, unique missions, and the driving combat is actually a blast too! Can't suggest that game enough. 

I have quite a backlog as everyone seemingly does. I may post about it but until then, I'm using this quarantine time to play a few. I may not beat them all but I want to at least give them a fair try. So, I'm calling on EWB to help me pick what's next up! The choices are games I've borrowed from friends who have probably forgotten but I feel as if I owe it to them to play them and give them back!

The Evil Within... Dante's Inferno... The Witcher 3... Batman: Arkham Asylum... or The Last Of Us...

Thank you
