Hey everyone, and welcome to my first pickup blog here! These are where I talk about the game pickups for the month and give my brief opinion on them. I typically try to keep myself at at a 1-5 games a month limit unless it is a special month where I have either gotten a new system or had an unexpected trip out somewhere, etc. Anyway...let's jump in with the big purchase that I...yeah, let's just go :sweat_smile:
Systems
Playstation 5
Well...who doesn't love new systems? I went ahead and made the jump for this because a friend of mine kept talking about it and the controller. I knew I wanted it for myself, and it has not been disappointing.
The controller is shown off the most when playing Astro's Playroom. It acts as a tech demo for the controller and it does a grand job of that. The feel of it depends on what surface Astro is walking on accompanied by sounds coming out of the controller. Such as, if you walk on glass, it really feels like you are and you hear the clanking noise of Astro's feet on it coming through the controller. It's super neat.
I had made a post about a glitch I found and it turned out to be a well known issue, but one simply solved. I haven't had the problem after that point.
Games
PS5
Sackboy A Big Adventure
Anyone else Little Big Planet? Well, welcome to Sackboy, a 3D adventure with similarities to the LBP series...but none of the building worlds or creating, that I have seen. Seems the game is story focused and level based. I'm having fun with it so far, but I haven't played too much yet.
Spider-Man Miles Morales + Spider-Man
Yep, totally got the one with the code for the PS5 version of Spider-Man...wanted to see the PS5 in action! Anyway, both Spider-Man games are absolutely awesome. Even if Miles Morales is significantly shorter than the first game, it's very worth playing.
I've played both games previously on the PS4, but could resist when I got a good deal on this.
Demon's Souls
So one thing I wanted to change when I got the latest consoles was to try games I usually didn't or turned my head to for so long. Yes, this includes the Souls series. For some reason, they didn't pique my interest until this one, and decided I would try it.
I haven't done well :sweat_smile: I've had fun, and I am deg new methods of fighting every try, but I haven't gotten back to the boss after dying and being sent to the other area (forgot the name)....unfortunately this has taken a back seat to some of the other games I bought.
PS4
Forager
Following last month's Forager addiction on the XSX, I decided I really wanted a physical copy for myself, instead of using the copy I got off Game . Hence, this.
I have far sured the XSX's game save, and am working toward all the trophies. 17/20 achieved, but then the nuclear update...oof. the great thing about this game to me is the wide variety of things to do. Farming, dungeons, crafting...you can build an entire base for you to operate out of, I love it.
Cat Quest Collection
A great duo of games in one bundle. Both games are action RPG's full of quests to complete, armor to collect, monsters to slay and pretty cool stories as well! I already played both games on the Switch, but decided to get the PS4 bundle for trophies...I have already gotten the platinum trophy for Cat Quest, working my way through Cat Quest II bit by bit.
XSX
We Happy Few
Bought this because a friend of mine really wanted me to give the game a second chance, and considering I got it for $10, figured why not?
Unfortunately my PS5 came in around the same time, so I haven't gone back to the Xbox to play it quite yet.
Well everyone, that's all for this month... if you're a gamer, why not make your own blogs showing and talking about the games you bought? Or show your collection? Talk about some favorites? Hope to see some posts!
Peace :v:
