PS Plus games for July (Also PS Plus's 15th Anniversary) available from July 1st

Diablo 4- PS4 + PS5
King Of Fighters XV - PS4 + PS5
Jusant PS5

Oh wow this is a pretty good month. I've heard good things about Jusant.

 

[Dizzy]

Just finished up Lies of P DLC last night. Was excellent.

Remembered I have a copy of Death Stranding Director’s Cut for the PS5 I got on sale a while back so I’m going to see what it’s all about.

I read someone say to play through it on easier difficulties if my only intent is to play through it to get up to speed on the sequel.

Yeah that’s the one I’ll be playing. Might try a few matches in KoF as well. Diablo 4 already own. It was okay, nothing special

I would be surprised if easier difficulty made any difference. The game is not difficult at all. I guess if it makes the combat sections go by quicker though it would be worth it because IMO it's the worst part of the game.

Actually I do remember some more combat related sections so yea do it on easy.

Yea I also own D4. Got it to play with my son but even then it's just not that fun. I might try KOF but even at it's peak I was never a huge KOF fan. Jusant I'll find time to fit in at some point.

Read the letters you get. A lot of extra lore in there that will make the story more understandable. I’m thinking a lot of people choose not to read but you might appreciate the sequel more if you like the story. I did like that part but again the gameplay just sadly didn’t appeal to me.

PS Plus games for July (Also PS Plus's 15th Anniversary) available from July 1st

Diablo 4- PS4 + PS5

Jusant PS5

Cool get free KoFXV, did'nt played that chapter

Jusant artistically is intriguing but the gameplay concept bore me to death

Hellblade II is launching 12 August on PS and arriving PS5 Pro-enhanced. Quick trailer (1m 30s):

 

[Zazen]

This looks Tim Burton cool but…dude, Ghost is Ghost. Halloween until year end is absolutely cracking.

I'd include September too. Hell is Us, Metal Gear Remake, Terminator 2D No Fate, Silent Hill f, Sonic Racing Crossworlds

November and December what interest you? The only thing on my radar during those two months are Dotemu's Marvel beat'em up.

Edit: Metal Gear is actually August 28 but close enough...

 

[Kratos94]

Pragmata looks interesting. I was initially put off by the hacking mechanic, but will reserve any judgement prior to playing it myself.

Hoping to see or hear more about Saros before year's end. Also, it's wild that we are halfway through 2025. Tempus fugit.

Weekend offers on the PS store for PS Plus members, upto 50 % off but not really anything of note in there though

Ghost, Arc Raiders, and Gaiden 4 are October alone, iirc; I could sink 2-3 months into those titles easily (through to Jan 2026) and if Arc absolutely slaps, the gameplay has indefinite shelf-life. Good call on MGS as I also thought that came out around the same time later in year; related, I'm not on board with its 80€ price tag and am undecided what to do because I know it will be fun.

I've got a good feeling this game is going to be fantastic. Cant wait to see the new footage.

There's a reason I voted for this in our poll; only one, sadly. Shame, shame. This game will be haunting, brother. We're playing as an assassin framed for murder who has 66 days to live and set in a beautifully dark world with unforgettable, dynamic combat.

From the short videos I’ve seen, it’s very grim dark. I could be jumping the gun but these guys have really had their heads down and don’t seem like they want to show anything that’s not polished.

I got to keep it real the poll is kind of whack. Half of those aren’t Sony games and one of them released on everything at launch. I think the poll should be updated to “Which PS5 console exclusives are you looking forward to the most? Select up to three games.” Elden Ring is the one I’m referring to as a game that released on everything. It could be replaced with Lost Soul Aside which isn’t on the poll. Marvel Tokon could be added too. Personally I was going to vote for Phantom Blade 0 but Saros beat it out. If there were three choices they’d be Saros, Intergalatic, and Phantom Blade.

Exclusivity wasn’t a poll criterion; rather, it’s a question for PS owners specifically to see what others are looking forward to playing. Sony had a hand be it production, resource, or otherwise in every poll entrant and that being the qualifier. It’s all in good fun, peerage.

Lost Soul Aside is a great rec and will add but haven’t seen anyone talking Tokon. Thanks.

I like your top three. Very nice. Coming off bar-raiser that was Returnal, SAROS was tempting for me but nothing ultimately outdoing PBØ anticipation.
