With the announcement of GTA6 and GTA5 being available on PS Plus extra I downloaded it and imported my 10 year old save from PS4 on it. Admittedly I never finished the game so I am right back in it. It has been fun to rediscover this game with a current gen remaster.

GTA5 is reported to be leaving Gamepass in the coming months.

With RDR2, I originally purchased it full price on PS4 but i've since given away my Sony consoles. I wish I could buy it on Xbox and play the same game on Xbox Series S and my gaming PC + Steamdeck but it's not cross platform and I'd have to buy it multiple times and won't have cloud saves.

I don't even understand the mental speed and hand dexterity needed for this.

It's also being given away on PlayStation this month (here in Aus at least).

It's most fun to mislead.

And Van Horn is fun because you can shoot up the place without worry about being wanted by the law.

RDR2 only lasted 6 months as well IIRC.

I'm hanging out there from now on. How often have I had to spend money to clear the bounty on my head just to make it easier to travel around.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is free on Epic Games Store. Marvel’s Midnight Suns is part of this month’s Humble Choice. It’s worth the $15 alone but there are a few other games that are a bonus.

I would actually recommend against doing the Humble bundle now if Midnight Suns is what you want. The legendary edition is on sale on Steam for $35, which includes all of the DLC, and Deadpool alone makes it worthwhile

That’s a good deal too. I guess it depends on whether you’re willing to spend $20 extra for the DLC and miss out on the other games in the bundle.

I threw a couple of sticks of dynamite into the saloon and then proceeded to shoot up the whole town the other day. Honour took a hit but worth it.

I've recently dived into StarSector, a game I purchased years ago as it sounded promising but it didn't really grab me.


It is a fun little indie game in the vein of you start with very little (depending on start chosen I guess) and trade/pirate/smuggle/explore/bounty hunt your way up to a fleet or colony. I haven't made it to a colony yet, but it has been fun thus far.



Graphics are minimal obviously, so it is kind of a "story" that you make yourself kind of experience. Would recommend checking it out if you liked space games like X3. Pretty niche game overall.

Haven’t seen a lot of talk about armored core, I’ve been behind in my catalogue any strong opinions on it? I assume it’s far less soulsborne and far more back to their roots of old school gundam/mecha/zone of the Enders type game.

Really fun game, everyone should get it now that it's free. Pretty linear is my only complaint, but I think that's more to do with I thought it was more open world-ish for some reason before playing.

I played it via Gamepass for a bit and quit because of the linear gameplay. It’s definitely fun if that’s what you like.

I actually lucked out, I bought the Humble bundle and then got the DLC separately when it was still on sale for $25. So $40 total for Midnight Suns complete plus all of the other games. I was going to recommend that route but saw that the season pass isn't on sale anymore by itself. I know sometimes if you already own a game on Steam and purchase pack with it included, the price is reduced, so that might be an option to upgrade to the full edition if you did buy MS from the Humble bundle
