Multiplat PlayStation Plus

[HBK619]

The Swapper is fantastic so far, about an hour or so in and it's quite an enjoyable experience.

Can see this being one of those games similar to a Limbo or even Brothers, where you start off just thinking it's a game with some nice fun mechanics. But deeper lies a story that's going to present some dark situations later on.

Really liking the clean graphical style too, nice vibrant colours offsetting the generally dark environment.

In terms of the puzzles, they're very similar to a Thomas Was Alone type game. In that you come up against puzzles that might make you sit and scratch your head for a minute or two, but then the answer presents itself pretty quickly after trying to work it through a few times.

Can't wait to give Swapper another go. Played it a couple years ago and loved it, but from memory some parts I could only complete with a well timed and positioned mouse click. Not sure how well that will transition to controller?

Seems like it's made the transition well so far, can be a little unweildly at times to move the cursor into the right spot, but otherwise it's fairly simple. I don't know how the PC one works, but the slowdown when holding the 'projection' button seems to negate any real need for super quick timing.

Duke Nukem plays surprisingly good on the Vita, just need the Doom games to get the same treatment, Wolfenstein 3D wouldn't hurt either. All FPS games i grew up playing, none of this "my first shooter was callwa dooty m dubya 2" like the kiddies today.

I played it for about 15 minutes the other day, lots of memories came flooding back, even the secret room at the very start.

I never tried the PC version but the controls in this version feel responsive and smooth.

Just finished up First Light. Surprisingly good.

Graphically absolutely gorgeous (much like Second Son). The neon powers really make for a very good looking game, the facial animations and visuals on the cutscenes as well as the overall world are top notch. Would probably be the best looking game I've played on the PS4 (awaiting DriveClub as I think that would surpass anything).

The story was well done and the gameplay flipping back and forth between the compound and real world allowed a nice change up as it moves along.

Going to have a go at all the Arena's before I finish up, see if I can obtain a platinum or not.

Overall though this DLC really makes me want to go back and finish off Second Son.

How long did it take you?

How long did it take you?

About 5-6 or so hours I'd say. Nice length, I got every collectible though. If you were doing just story it'd probably take maybe 3 or 4.

Is there any news of this months games?

 

[GoldenHodge]

Is there any news of this months games?

Not yet, should be an announcement soon, maybe Thursday.

 

[Bender_]

Is the idea to announce them later as not to deter people possibly purchasing the free games for the month?

Can't think of any other reason they'd want to announce so late.

Inb4 it is Citizens of Earth because I just bought it.

I love indies but that looks awful.

Nothing will beat The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. Easily the best free game released imo.

For those of you who haven't downloaded/played it i highly suggest you give it a go.

 

[Quivorir]

Definitely the most played PS+ game from me.

Binding of Isaac has been installed and deleted from my machine.

Yeah doesn't quite look like my cup of tea. Will try it eventually though.

I thought you had good taste sacka.

Obviously haven't seen my misses if you think that.

I played it a little but just couldn't get into it.

I tried the game when i first downloaded it and didn't mind it but wasn't too fussed either way.....a few days later i had more time so decided to give it more of a go and my eyes were truly opened to the uniquely disturbing story/characters and the near infinite possibilities of the item combinations and simple yet satisfyingly addictive combat.
The game is challenging yet oh so rewarding and when you happen to get an awesome set of items in a run that all synergise well together it is just about as satisfying as gaming gets.

It may not be a game for everybody and some may even get offended by the concept but as far as i'm concerned it's one of the most perfectly designed games that i've ever played.


Also here is a nice little guide of the items you can pick up so that you can see what they do as you get them....http://platinumgod.co.uk/rebirth

Sacka I am disappoint.

Easily my most played game/favourite game on the PS4. It has built so much on the original game and so so addictive.

Upgrade your homing missiles ASAP. Get familiar with the layout where you can drain neon and you'll rack up the scores easily.

For the rescue arenas, upgrade your weak point shot to make them fight for you, and your stasis. Blast hostage (preferably not off a ledge as it kills them) as it protects them from being shot.

Once you're comfortable with the layout it's just a matter of practicing and run and gunning (missiles x4, run to drain neon, missiles slowly whole heading to another neon spot) makes keeping your combo insanely easy.

Very easy platinum.

I was the same, I liked the retro feel of it but after playing for around 20 mins I was bored.

So much more to unlock and discover. Give it a couple of hours at least.

 

[Mister Carlton]

I've been meaning to stream it for awhile. Its good to see other perspectives, love watching series on youtube.

How did the PS+ thread become the Binding of Isaac thread?

Lazy moderating imo
