[Mownoc]

Nice. I own GTA V on PS3, PS4 and PC but not PS5. Let's go!

 

[SpokkX]

well better than gamepass for december at least. All mega man games is good fun

 

[tmlDan]

thats an insanely good lineup, strangers of paradise and hellsinger are gonna be my december priorities now

 

[adamsapple]

• Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin | PS4, PS5

The only worthy game on the list for me, the rest have been available elsewhere before or not my cup.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Got GTA V free with Epic Game Store.
Make sure you check out Tinykin, That little game I managed to 100% I had so much fun with it.

 

[shaddam]

>Prodeus

One of the best boomer shooters(make sure to adjust the default disgusting HUD), just resubbed for it to humble monthly recently. Will play it on PS5 too

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Helluva month

 

[tmlDan]

Got GTA V free with Epic Game Store.
Make sure you check out Tinykin, That little game I managed to 100% I had so much fun with it.

i've seen some footage, but is it a platformer of some sort?

 

[lughnasadh123]

Shockingly good month for me as some I've tried and dropped before or just hadn't pulled the trigger on. That and more Mega Man is always a boon.

 

[SCB3]

Nice, been eyeing up Strangers of Paradise for a bit as well

Metal Hellsinger is a great game, not one I'd want on a Controller (like DOOM) but still worth playing

 

[Punished Miku]

I have all these already. If you dont its a fantastic lineup.

 

[mayham2199]

Ok this is a good month.

 

[LordCBH]

Fucking MEH

 

[Blindy]

Tinykin is the sleeper game here, one of my favs of last year.

Salt & Sacrifice I heard isn't as good as Salt & Sanctuary but still probably my biggest hype of this list since I have played and/or owned quite a bit via GamePass.

 

[haxan7]

first good month in a LONG time

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

>Prodeus

One of the best boomer shooters(make sure to adjust the default disgusting HUD), just resubbed for it to humble monthly recently. Will play it on PS5 too

This is the game I'm looking forward to the most. Had it on my wishlist for a few months now.

 

[SlicedBread3]

Was just thinking to myself yesterday, that I hoped they would add Tinykin soon. So that's a win.

 

[balls of snow]

thats an insanely good lineup, strangers of paradise and hellsinger are gonna be my december priorities now

Same.

 

[Luipadre]

hellsinger is amazing i finished it on game pass. In for CHAOS

 

[Lupin25]

Been meaning to buy Stranger of Paradise. Megaman collections on Premium is nice too.



Thanks Jim

 

[Kerotan]

Powerful lineup.

GTA bros checkout the wildlife they've added to online. I was swimming with orca's and whales. It's actually insane.

 

[Bernardougf]

Fine ill play GTAV again ..

 

[Punished Miku]

This is the game I'm looking forward to the most. Had it on my wishlist for a few months now.

Don't skip Tinykin. Best 3D platformer since Mario Odyssey.

 

[Heisenberg007]

This is one of the best months for me.

 

[StereoVsn]

Paradise and Hellsinger are both a good get. Haven’t tried them before.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Don't skip Tinykin. Best 3D platformer since Mario Odyssey.

100%.

I played it on PC; I'll now platinum it on PS5.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

edit: I got the games mixed up

Salt & Sacrifice looks good. Googling it I didnt know it came out so long ago (2016). It's their newer 2022 game. From the makers of Vampire Dishwasher and indie game "Imadeagamewithzombiesinit"

Excellent indie studio with a unique art style, super smooth gameplay and frame rates.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Decent uptick in premium recently.

 

[Darkkahn]

[Nankatsu]

Stranger in Paradise is dope.

Basically FFXVI's father.

 

[MikeM]

>Prodeus

One of the best boomer shooters(make sure to adjust the default disgusting HUD), just resubbed for it to humble monthly recently. Will play it on PS5 too

I echo this. Fantastic games that uses the Dualsense very well.

 

[bender]

Don't sleep on Tinykin, it's pretty great. I fell off of Prodeus after five or six hours and could never find the joy that so many others did. Looking forward to trying Stranger in Paradise (CHAOS) and Salt and Sanctuary.

 

[Jesb]

Why do they have to remove games? What good is the service if you end up losing the ones you like.

 

[Skifi28]

CHAOS

I've always wanted to try it, but was unsure and the price never dropped too much. PS PLUS redeemed.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Ufff, honestly I was already going to buy GTA V this week... it's a good thing I didn't buy it xD.


All megaman games!!!

Zero doesn't deserve the best Waifu in the franchise, IRIS... let Zero stay with Ciel.

 

[Skifi28]

Why do they have to remove games? What good is the service if you end up losing the ones you like.

They're there for you to either finish in a reasonable amount of time or try out. If games never left they would have to pay exorbitant prices to publishers which would either reduce new content or make prices for consumers crazy high. It's a rental service no matter how one sugarcoats it. If you really like a game, buy it.

In that case... time to play DMC 5 and Shadow of war.

 

[Fbh]

Finally a solid month for me.
I've been wanting to check out Stranger of Paradise, Prodeus and Metal:Hellsinger for a while.

 

[Investor9872]

You can almost always expect a strong end of the quarter push by Sony!

 

[engstra]

Super good month! Hellsinger has been on my list for ages and Prodeus looks cool. I really need to stop buying games on sale, Klonoa last month and Tinykin this month. Either way great offering

 

[wizaga]

Tinykin and prodeus are amazing game everybody should try, always wanted to try Strangers of paradise. Good month

 

[Punished Miku]

Finally a solid month for me.
I've been wanting to check out Stranger of Paradise, Prodeus and Metal:Hellsinger for a while.

I think Stranger of Paradise will shock a lot of people. Far better combat than FFXVI in my humble opinion. Basically Nioh with 30 jobs. Can be a WHM and buff up your party with Haste, Regen, Protect, then swap to Monk / Samurai / Thief / BLM or whatever you want for damage dealing. Elemental and physical weakness types on enemies.

Only downside is that there's an avalanche of crap equipment. Go in the options menu and set auto-dismantle below a certain level and update it periodically to save yourself a lot of time. Worth it to spend the time to customize your moveset also. Can customize attacks you want on each job for each input direction.

 

[Slothbeing1209]

Metal Hellsinger looks interesting. Anyone played it? Is it good?

 

[Punished Miku]

Metal Hellsinger looks interesting. Anyone played it? Is it good?

It's pretty good. I wasn't blown away by it but its fun.

 

[Quantum253]

Sounds like a good lineup. Do they not list essentials? Is that not included in the OP or am I'm just missing it?

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Seems like a little something for everyone. I’m interested in Stranger of Paradise, Prodeus, Tinykin, Mega Man 11, and the two Mega Man Legacy Collections.

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

Good month, finally.

 

[tommib]

Finally going to try Prodeus and Stranger of Paradise.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Nice. I own GTA V on PS3, PS4 and PC but not PS5. Let's go!

Top tip. You won't own it.
