Is Shadow worth playing if I skipped Rise?
I bought Tomb Raider last week before this announcement so I'm half way through or so. It has almost no connection to the previous. You can catch it all up in the various journa;s you pick up through the game.

That said, I can't tell if the Definitive edition does not actually include all the extra tombs. They seem locked in the menu, unless they open up when you beat the game. Also, the 30fps mode is a juddery mess, so play 60fps mode for sure. I can't really tell a resolution difference, though I wonder if there are other more subtle changes like shadows or effects. And HDR is mixed quality.

So I feel like I'm losing my mind. Since sony updated their app I have yet to figure out how to download psplus games without searching by title. I used to just click games, then psplus and they would show up but now I see no option for that. Is there a trick I'm missing with this now?

You just have to go to subscriptions, which for me is the rightmost option in the top bar, and there you will see all the free games and discounts from PS Plus.

You have to download the Definitive Edition DLC, make sure it's downloaded. The DLC tombs themselves can be accessed in the menu regardless of Story progress, and the DLC tombs inside the story can be accessed via new side quests with a moon icon next to them.

I don't see anywhere to download it. In the game library it's not listed and in the game clicking on the tombs takes me to the store.

I've been curious about Greedfall. Do we know if it's getting upgraded to the PS5 version when it comes out or will that be a separate SKU?

Still not up on my end. Might be too early though; I think PSN updates around 2pm EST?

It says "Download from Library", so yes, but when I go to library it's not there to actually download.
It just worked from the app. But i had to search for it, it does not appear in the DLC section for the game, really annoying. I imagine a lot of people might miss that.

Thank you.

Swipe the menu bar left to get the subscriptions menu up, it's hidden on my phone, yours might be the same

Looks like they haven't finished updating on their end. I see the games under the Subscriptions section now, but they're still not showing up as free to download. Probably will be working fine shortly.

Played a bit of Maneater and it looks and runs very rough. At least my first impression is that it dips below 60 frequently, specially in cutscenes, and is not much of a looker.

Will play if it's fun though.

I already have 1000/1000 gamerscore on the Xbox version and am 100% gonna platinum it on PS5 too.

Thanks, seems that I managed to get Worms after all. But Bugsnax is lost to me :/ Can't tell if that's a joke game around here or if people actually loked it xD
Bit of both. The art style, rather plain graphics, and the idea of having food limbs is definitely pretty kooky, but there's actually a pretty decent game under all that. I picked it up around launch, but I haven't played it much.

It's a legit good game. The gameplay, music and story is good. The story is a little darker towards the end but I really enjoyed it and it was fun to platinum. Bunger !

I got the plat on Bugsnax, and honestly I don't think it's a terribly good game gameplay-wise, it just has a very surprisingly endearing narrative and made me smile. The actual core bugsnax catching gameplay felt very hit-or-miss, missing more often then not.

Too bad I missed it then. Guess I might check it out once Sony gets around to deeming me worthy of granting my console preorder.

I absolutely adored Bugsnax. The characters are loveable, the voice acting is really top notch, and it's overall just a fun and quirky ride.

Sorry you missed out on it :(

Strange, the game show up in my app but at full price in the subscription page. Pretty sure my plus expires in late 2021.

Same here. Platinumed it and while it's not the most advanced game visually or gameplay wise, it's all really about the endearing story and characters and snax. Like Maneater for this month, it's not a visual powerhouse but it's about the concept and hilarity rather than the next Crysis level visuals.

Shows the new games for me but they aren't free yet, almost bought Maneater for 39.99 because I wasn't paying attention haha.

Recommendation for Greedfall. Feels like a Bioware game in a unique setting, doesn't quite stick the landing and overstays it's welcome but still a good effort. Worth spending a few hours on at least.

I'm F5ing like madman, even though I'm supposed to be at work, and even though I wouldn't play it right away anyway.

I just want another PS5 game. I only have Demon's Souls. ☹

i only have deS too as a ps5 game but my ps4 backlog is so huge, it doesn't really matter. im currently playing ghost of tsushima is sweet 60fps and gotta finish up tlou2 & nier automata after that.

I loved Spider-Man on PS4, but after getting all the trophies, including DLC trophies, I was feeling a bit burnt out by the end. I think I'll wait for a price drop on that.
I actually left Spiderman on ice for a year and a half before I eventually went back to finish the districts (every other trophy was complete). MM is a perfect dose of gaming into your veins, you won't hit that wall. Can't fault you for waiting for a sale though.

On PS4 when I claim my games it shows assetto corsa for free next to tomb raider and greedfall. If I click on it, it is definitely not free. And I had to restart my PS4 to download greedfall. Weird.

Yeah, I could not buy a single game in 2021 and I'd still have a huge backlog to go through. Not to mention I just got an Xbox Series S so there's all the Gamepass games on top of that.

Assetto Corsa is the free game for the Middle East (replacing Greedfall). You probably just had some weird region glitch.
