People are in for a serious treat with Shadow if that's true. For those who are wondering why everyone's chomping at the bit to see Bluepoint's next remake: this is the single biggest reason why. An absolutely stunning rendition of the original, and that soundtrack is godlike all these years later.

You can't do much better than Shadow of the Colossus... But, you can't do much worse than Sonic Forces either.

It's good exposition for both, in any case.

You know what... Sonic Forces for "free", I'm gonna play it and maybe even enjoy it a bit. Can't be that bad... no?

Already own Shadow of the Colossus and it's a great game.
Dont let the over exagerated hate fool you. Its not an awful game, it works and has stuff. Its not broken or shambling like 06 and Boom, just kinda mediocre and the custom character moveset is whatever.

I've already beaten SoTC back in the day but never played the remake. One of my favorite games of all time so that's cool. As for the other, oh well fuck it time to broaden my horizons lol.

With that said I don't know why anyone is giving that one user shit. PS+ is expensive and offers shit value tbh. They really need to start offering more titles every month or maybe include some ps now benefits (2 or 3 games of your choice for that month?). If it weren't for playing fighting games online I would have dropped ps+ like a hot potato ages ago. It actually makes me sad that people go out of their way to justify the expensive glorified online play paywall.

Well, it's not broken until you hit any sort of half pipe or loop section, at which point Sonic will just fly off it in absolutely random directions for no reason lol.

So basically they wanted to capitalize on the Sonic hype and ran out of good games to include.

I played it for free and I still regret the waste of 4 hours of my life. Even 06 has more enjoyment to be wrung out of it (mostly through laughter), Forces is Boom tier irredeemable garbage.

Hope they include the Shadow DLC for Forces so the prophecy can be completed.

SotC is one of the GOATs. Happy that others will get to play it. Sonic Forces feels like an OK pick for the second, less important game. With the movie being a hit I imagine many will try it. Disappointing but not unexpected that they didn't continue with an extra VR game.

Oh awesome, never played SotC but I've heard it's good. Forces should be good for a laugh too. PS+ has been great lately for people like me who haven't already bought the good games.

sonic forces isn't that bad. it's really short with most levels being like 2 minutes long, but it's still alright. it's a game where sonic was a POW and relentlessly tortured for six months. it's worth playing just to hear some of the truly crazy lines of dialogue

If true, I'll play Sonic Forces. I already own SotC. Scores don't really mean much to me when it comes to Sonic games. I just like romping around in em'.

I'll play Sonic Forces out of curiosity. Shadow of the Colosus is a fantastic game if anyone hasn't had the pleasure of playing the PS4 remake. Easily one of the best games i've played on PS4

Wow, I might actually get to play SotC. I've almost bought it a few times but held off.

I've seen people play Sonic Forces and know how bad it is but that just makes me even more curious to try it.
