Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@kyleforrester87 Sounds like a dream come true. I'll bring the jam.

Seriously though, I will look into it as I've not actually seen any of it for ages. Will be a rare foray into the online world for me.

@JohnnyShoulder sounds good, let me know - would be a fun way to get through it! Don’t play vast amounts of online either really.

I’ve been playing F1 Manager 22 a lot these past few days. Getting myself hyped for the next entry in the series that’s releasing at the end of the month. Hoping I’ll manage to take Hamilton to his 8th world title!

I’ve also finished the main story in Diablo IV. I really enjoyed it. Quite a few of the boss fights were really cool also! Plenty of end-game grinding to do now though, so I may play a bit more ‘on and off’ now.

Final Fantasy 16 might have my favorite combat this gen. I just finished the last hunt from the hunt board and that was extremely satisfying.

About 20 hours into FF 16 and man, I'm completely torn, there's some stuff I really like and a ton of stuff I just can't believe made it into the game, it looks like a 2023 game but the design feels like something from 3 generations behind. I'll continue to play it but damn, didn't really expect this from the demo.

I’m nearing the end of Sackboy, having just got to the bonus world, but still have a few trophies to pick up including String it Together which is going to take me a while.

You need to ace a long and tricky platforming segment together and I had a few goes already and keep getting to around the same part. But it’s so frustrating having to repeat the opening 4 minutes over and over just to get back to that point. A good but highly frustrating challenge!

@Thrillho I think I tapped out when I got to the bonus world.

Cool and fun game, but I'd had enough of the game by then.

@JohnnyShoulder I’d been insistent on acing every level until I got to the last couple of main levels (even managing most of the co-op levels playing both controllers myself!) but will probably skim the bonus world ones to just complete the “final” level now.

And then it’s just the matter of getting gold on The Ripsnorter!

I’m now playing Trails into Reverie and I’m so happy. Just seeing characters I recognise from Zero and Azure in full 3D and speaking English puts a big smile on my face!

Yeah I know some of them showed up in the Cold Steel games, but I appreciate it a lot more now that I’ve played the Crossbell arc.

@Bentleyma I look forward to playing that someday... whenever I finally play Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure. I don't plan on ever playing the Cold Steel games as that's just too much to play at this point, but I'll gladly play these three to get the whole Crossbell arc.

@KilloWertz You don’t plan on playing the Cold Steel games, but that doesn’t mean you won’t! Once the Trails games sink their teeth into you they don’t let go.

I almost gave up on Rougue Legacy 2 this week, as I wasn't making much progress. But then I had a really good run last night and got through like 2 sections. Huzzah! A quick beginners tip: put as much as you into upgrading your health and then your other abilities like strength and intelligence. Most of the other stuff is handy to have but not a necessity.

@Bentleyma If you can figure out a way to add more time to each day so I wouldn't be pushing aside other games just to play the really long Cold Steel games, then maybe that would happen. Let me know.

@KilloWertz When you get into the Trails series other games don’t matter!

I'm up to the end of Final Fantasy XVI, just mopping up some side quests before heading to the final boss. I kind of don't want it to end. After that, I'm going to finish Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (still got to do Yuffie's chapter).
