I've downloaded it. £7.99. Can't wait to play it now. Thanks.

Nice. Was hoping that'd come before Microsoft buy Asobo.
Imo the first is the better game, feel like the pacing was spot on and there was more of a process around building the characters profiles. I know it's massively helped by the mystery of it all and trying to understand what's happening as the game goes along but it's a real masterpiece.
I drunkingly cracked my fecking HDMI port (putting the cable in upside down in port with unneccesary force) and now I keep losing signal unless I constantly adjust the cable.
Going to have to pay €120 to get it repaired ffs.

Just got a PS5 as a Christmas present but don't know where to start. Haven't played games since the original RDR.
Have EA FC 24 but not much interest in that to be fair, might start with RDR2 and then maybe COD or something similar. Have never played TLOU or God of War or any of that. Obviously new GTA next year.
If you folks were making recommendations to a newbie like me who hasn't followed the industry in 15 years, what would it be?

GoW 2018 then GoW ragnarok
TLOU part 1 (ps5 version) then TLOU 2 (ps4 copy but it’s receiving a PS5 upgrade soon).
Spider-Man - all 3
First that come to mind, wait on RDR2 as it’s still only 30fps, they will hopefully upgrade it.
Started playing sackboy with the wife last night. Fun game. Any other multiplayer games people that are good for couples? We have played overcooked too.
Sniper elite 5. Everyone likes that.
Get ps plus extra or whatever it is and just hit everything on there for now. See what mechanics you like these days and which put you off games.
I would recommend starting with older games first as they will feel clunky if you've played newer games first.
I'd recommend gt7 if you like racing games.
It Takes Two.
red dead 2
Thanks for the replies - might do the PS plus thing first and take from there. I like the sound of the order @Berbasbullet set out to be fair, though that many games might see me through 2028.
I'm just realising how long ago rdr was
Horizon: Zero Dawn & Horizon: Forbidden West. Both visually stunning with some great gameplay mechanics (but some poor ones too). Story in first is pretty great, 2nd is ok but not as good story wise. Definitely pick up and give a go if they're free on ps plus.
The Witcher 3! This & both expansions should actually be pretty high on your list. It won't feel terrible controller wise if you're out of the game loop, however if you play GOW first or Horizon or basically anything, the witcher will feel like the clunkiest game ever made. Absolutely brilliant story, setting and atmosphere.
Man I envy you, getting to play all these games for the first time. You're about to have some epic journeys and zero social life! Congrats
As a precursor to playing GOW: Valhalla I've gone back and am playing through the OG GOW's.
FInished 1 and am about halfway through 2 now. What I'll say is that beyond the dated graphics and fixed camera (better in 2 than 1) they still hold up fantastically well. Genuinely surprised at ho winvested in the story I am all these years later and the combat is still so much fun. Santa Monica really got Kratos right and having a refresher course on how angry and violent Kratos was in those two early game has been fun.

Downloaded a load of games off PS Plus to try.
Got Rogue Legacy 2, Sea of Stars, The Pedestrian, Inscryption, Teardown, Life is Strange series, Spiritfairer, Children of Morta, Unpacking, Two Point Hospital and Paradise Killer.

Nice bunch - wasn't aware the LiS series was on there, will have to check it out.
Currently I'm doing the cleanup on Sea of Stars (finished the story, got 16 trophies left but all straightforward - don't check the list out as there are spoilers). I enjoyed it. After that, I'm going for A Plague Tale: Requiem and maybe Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin which should tide me through until Rebirth is out.
It's on ps+?
I've been playing it myself this week and it's
Gonna play the second straight after next, then I've got last of us part 2 remastered to play after
I don't have ps+ mate.It's on ps+?

Fair, I automatically assume everyone is on gamepass/ps+ I guess!
Probably better value I'd say though, you'd be able to get GOW and more for a similar sort of price as what youd pay for GOW alone.
I'll have a look into it for sure.
I don't know if I play enough to warrant it right now. Busy with work and have a 2 year old. But will look into it and weigh it up.
Also fair.
Ive certainly been in the trap of not playing too often but paying the monthly subscription, for what?
To be fair, I got a Portal over Christmas and I've played more over the last 3 weeks than I did in the 6 mo the prior. It might be more worthwhile now.
God of War, Witcher 3, Ghost of Tsushima
Rayman Legends is on sale for around £3 on the PS store at the minute. The wife and I are enjoying it.
Just finished God of War 2. Fecking hell, pretty difficult some of that was
Old but bloody great game, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to start GOW3.
Also, I’ve realised that I’ve never played GOW Assention or GOW Chains of Olympus so have them to smash through too.
Edit: Although that QTE at the end was almost the breaking of me. The tolerances for those button pushes were horrible and they were randomised too so really annoying but the game itself is about sufferance so I tied it in with that … sort of helped.

Wow, and then what a step up from GOW2 to 3. The move to PS4 really suited it.
Not far in but very impressive on the remaster.

Sackboy is great fun too
Didn't really rate Nobody Saves The World. Maybe it's because I just came from Rogue Legacy 2 which had really responsive controls and satisfying combat, but it just felt samey and the combat wasn't enjoyable.
Can I play PS4 games on my PS5? Can get God of War 2019 for like £9 on ebay as opposed to digital for £15.
Edit: I've only played Ragnarok so working my way backwards.

Yes, it's pretty much fully backwards compatible with ps4.
Do you know if there is any quality difference between playing the disc and the digital download or are they likely to be exactly the same experience?
Exactly the same.
Thanks both. Bought the game, can't wait to get stuck in Ragnarok was incredible.
Max prestige on Call of Duty MW3 so I needed this break.

Evil West is turning out to be a fun distraction at the moment. Doesn't take itself too seriously and lots of mindless killing in third-person
What’s the second plagues take game like? Do you need to have played the first?
