Sackboy is legit amazing. One of my favorite 3D platformers in years, especially when playing with friends or family.

Sounds great, will try it out

 

[JaksGhost]

Verging into Games w/ Gold territory here. Hopefully Extra is better.

Show me when Games with Gold gave out 3 Series X|S games in the same month... or ever

There would have to exist those new games to be given ... maybe if they buy the hole industry of publishers and learn how to menage their studios

 

[CatLady]

So cute

 

[Nankatsu]

Sackboy is really cool. Both for me and my nephew

 

[DaGwaphics]

I'll probably give a look to Sackboy. Not a bad month.

 

[CatLady]

Sackboy alone puts it light years above the typical garbage on GwG.

If this is just the equivalent of GwG it's not bad. I thought it was for the paid subs and it would suck for that. But it is WAY better than Games with Gold. I can't remember the last time there was a game that I was actually excited about on GwG, it is embarassingly bad.

 

[diffusionx]

Sackboy is a great game, but the other two are GWG tier. I'll just chalk it up to a bad month.

One of them is a day 1 indie.

 

[Jesb]

Pretty meh month. Oh well.

 

[GametimeUK]

Sackboy is a great game. I recommend it for anyone who's a fan of platformers.

 

[bender]

I've heard good things about Tails of Iron.

[jaysius]

Going to have to do a month of plus to get Sackboy damn you sony!

That meet your maker is shitware though. Still better than what MS is going to give us for Gold, I expect 2 used condoms and lightly soiled toilet paper.

SackBoy: a big adventure is better than all the games on Games w Gold in the last year. The rest I agree, it's as bad

And the other one has extremely good ratings.

 

[Slothbeing1209]

Sackboi is good.
Meet your maker looks interesting too.

 

[Punished Miku]

And the other one has extremely good ratings.

It's been on my wishlist for a while. Looks interesting.

 

[skit_data]

Nice! I’ve wanted to buy Sackboy since release but I could never justify paying full price for it and the discounts were never deep enough.
Pretty unexpected its included in Essential but is not on Extra/Premium
Tails of Iron is another game I’ve been eyeing.

I just bought FIST and I finally caved in and boughy Dead Space Deluxe edition since it was the first time it went on sale so all of a sudden my backlog grew a little bigger.

 

[bender]

And the other one has extremely good ratings.

80+ Metacritic on every platform it has released for.

 

[NeonDelta]

Looking forward to finishing sackboy. Sold it last year assuming it would be on plus sooner rather than later

 

[scydrex]

At last!!! Been waiting forever for Ratchet and Sackboy to be on plus essential or extra. If they are going to give Sackboy for essential even better. The wait have been worth it. Now will wait for Ratchet to be on plus one day.

What? Sackboy is legit great

Holding out since launch on Sackboy has finally paid off

Didn't you get the memo, hand drawn RPG's were only relevant in 2022.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Nothing for me. Sackboy looks so not my style I didn't even want a cheap retail copy from the early PS5 bundles.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Didn't you get the memo, hand drawn RPG's were only relevant in 2022.

For one very specific month

 

[TheGodfather07]

Good. Don’t the “extra” games leave after a while? It’s why I haven’t downloaded forbidden west yet. This way I can have sack boy in my library forever

even first party stuff leaves? thats lame.

 

[Dick Jones]

For one very specific month

So you did get the memo

 

[Ozriel]

Not bad at all. Now I can sell my copy of Sackboy and pick up something for PSVR2

At this rate, we'll see Ratchet hit plus or extra before year end. Might as well put that up for sale too

 

[Punished Miku]

Is this a joke saying I'm not allowed to like Pentiment unless I also have played Tails of Iron?

It's on my wishlist. I haven't seen it on sale yet, and am drowning in games to play. You guys are retards.

 

[R6Rider]

Great month really. Sackboy is great, day one indie, and another with great scores that's been on my wishlist.

Don't want to speak on Dick's behalf, but I don't think it was targeted at you. Was just an innocuous joke.

 

[Labadal]

Sackboy is great, but Tails of Iron is even better. Don't sleep on it, folks.

It was more mocking those dropping bait in the thread saying the games are trash, yet claim a similar type game to one in the list was GOTY last year.

You're allowed to like what you like, but if someone is being a hypocrite, they deserve to be mocked. This isn't aimed at you specifically, just those who match the first line of this message.

And see, I threw out the dumpster fire image not realizing what one of the games were. Tails of Iron, after looking at the video, does look great. I love Pentiment too.

So few people even talked about Pentiment and I think I was literally one of the only ones that did say it is literally my GOTY.

Who is being a hypocrite exactly? This game has never come to a sub service, and has next to no marketing. I'm probably one of the only people that's even heard of it in the thread.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Nice, Sackboy

I've only played Sackboy and enjoy it. If anyone doesn't have it yet and has plus, it's a great game and it's great to play couch co-op.

I've been busy workwise the past few weeks and have been tipping away at VR games and Syphon Filter PSP. Hoping to be able for a big meaty return to Legend of Dragoon soon and collect that plat.

 

[Banjo64]

Glad I got Plus Extra for £3 last month been waiting to see if Sackboy would come since they relaunched the service. Wasn’t expecting it on Essential, great get.

The only two games that I have played on PS5 and didn't like was Astrobot and Sackboy. The rest of the games I have bought and played I have enjoyed. My favorite game on PS5 this gen is Kena Bridge of Spirits. EVEN THOUGH I can't get past the 3/3 stage of the final boss

I don't think anyone else in the thread but me said Pentiment was GOTY. Go check the Pentiment OT. Roberts was super into it.

Acting like the games are even remotely the same is bizarre. Pentiment doesn't even have combat in it. It doesn't mean you're obligated to like every hand drawn game or else you're a hypocrite.

I said who my comment was aimed at, don't act like you don't know who it was aimed at. The dickhead fanboys who fawned over a game on GAF when it's obvious they don't play them. Those who do, that's great and their opinion which is valid. I never said anything that resembles what you just wrote. Your pearl clutching is bizarre.

I said like what you like but don't be a hypocrite. You're taking this very personally, go back and read what I wrote earlier. I haven't shat on Pertiment but shat on people who instantly dismiss the games based on the look and have commented they 'loved the hand drawn art style' on another game. I haven't written using the enigma code so it shouldn't be hard to decipher.

I just get incredibly annoyed at these constant "hypocrite" gotchas. I've already been told on more than 3 occasions I'm not allowed to like Hellblade 2 because God of War Ragnarok didn't click with me. I've seen this kind of comment over and over. Seeing it referencing Pentiment just broke my mind, so I guess I snapped. Whatever, I'm over it. ...time for some fresh air I think.

 

[onnextflix5]

Thought they were going to put sack boy on extra first. A bit of a dumb move from Sony, but I’ll take it,
