    The last time I tried an NBA game it was more like playing "product advertisements: the videogame". (edited)

    When do these get released onto PS+? I want to restart my membership taking advantage of the 25% off and also nab Ratchet and Clank so hoping the monthly games don't change before the 2nd June.

    Absolute rubbish. Trek to Tomi looks stylish but is boring with repetitive gameplay. Every level feels just the same.

    Why does it feel like a basketball game is on it every few months

    It's the first one since 2020. Prior to that it was every couple of years, so it has improved slightly.

    I'm sure that basketball game is good but most of us won't care for it here in the UK. Why couldn't they do Fifa for us in the UK?

    I meaning still wouldn't play it but at least it would interest me a little

    Same here. It wasn't showing, but if you search manually and choose the versions, you'll see the one included in the essential for free. Just downloaded.

    I’ve just upgraded to Extra this month. Does it mean I still get the free games from Essential as well as whatever Extra gives?
    SnoopZ's avatar
    SnoopZ
    Yes you still get Essential games on the first Tuesday of each month, these games you keep once claimed, Extra games can get removed.

    Sony are not stupid, they have destroyed the basic level teir knowing people will just pay more for a level they their were already getting before they brought in this terrible teir system, and they still have the gall to charge £50 for the bottom teir. lol

    £50 for 36 games over a year? Shows how spoilt we all are these days when that’s apparently a bad deal

    I disagree, it's ok and that's only because I like Kurosawa feel to it, but certainly not brilliant.

    I think this is a great month tbh. All 3 games are of interest and none of them are games I already own (which is a rarity).

    They look more niche and specialist games this months, less likely to be for everyone. Though any sports game in there then you can tell its an off month. Yomi and JP both look cool.

    Pretty sure we can blame anyone buying the higher tier PS+ for how these games go. They're obviously going to save the better stuff for Extra/Premium. That silly small percentage of subs give Sony the hope of more money for the same/less value of games lol. (edited)

    I actually think the Essential games have got better since the new tier system launched. I’m on premium for next few years (cheap conversion using ps now) but I’ve been surprised at the games appearing on essential. Especially compared to Games with Gold which is laughable every single month. (edited)

    How about 25% off this month?? That count?
    Personally, I quite liked having this month's games pop up in my feed, saves me googling it.

    Great job OP

    Can never win with some people lol. Personally, I'd say this is a good month for me. Two games I wanna try (Jurassic World and Trek) and a third that might be a fun casual game.

    The combat can get a bit samey and the story is pretty cliche but it does look good. It's a short game anyway so does not really outstay it's welcome.

    If you don’t approve of basketball playing Samurai dinosaurs I don’t need to know you….

    2k23 is corking: Jordan mode is amazing.

    and nba era mode is amazing.
