After such a complex story, The Witcher 3's last boss just isn't original enough
There are many 2025 gaming anniversaries to celebrate, including Life is Strange, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and Super Mario Bros.
Embark on a legendary dark fantasy adventure, mix tech and monsters for thrilling hunts, build a community of woodland worshippers, compete in two-wheeled races and more with August’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup!
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Wild Hearts, Cult of the Lamb, Ride 5 and more titles are playable from August 20 for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members*.
We’re also announcing new classics – including the legendary TimeSplitters series – and PS VR2 game offerings coming to PlayStation Plus Premium
Replies(1)This is a great month for me, I have almost bought Wild Hearts a ton of times and same for Cult of the Lamb.
Some really good variety here, and some serious playtime on offer here with all the RPG's. Good luck finishing all these games in a month heh.
Time Splitters is fantastic on the classic side, and glad to see they keep supporting PSVR2 with games
Really grateful I had the good sense to drop pay to play multi-player. It's a rip off.
At least when you buy the basic PS+ tier you actually get new games often including AAA games.
This month PS+ got the Star Wars Skywalker Saga, Five Nights at Freddy's:: Security Breach, and Ender Lilies
Xbox hasn't gotten any new games for their basic tier since July and before that it was in August 2023. And if that wasn't bad enough the games they got were just recycled from game pass.
14 people downvoted and enjoy paying for something millions of pc gamers get for free. Lol.
They could have included the dlc for the Witcher 3 game of the year addition geez..
How many times do they want to keep putting WD2 on
PS+ 17 games this month unlike game pass which only offered 7 almost half of them I got years ago on PS+,.and the rest are indies from companies I haven't even heard of.
And the Sony Pictures movie collection will probably get updated with new movies and shows from Crunchy Roll too.
Not bad for a subscription that costs significantly less game pass even before they raised the prices.
Still not as good as it was a year ago. I think they're walking back on the quality of games just like XBGP is. It's a good thing though...ppl gotta start buying games again.
For me, the redeeming titles are the Time Splitters ones. Sadly i do not subscribe to premium, only extra.
Well you can still buy them. PS2 titles range from 5 (the clone wars) to 20 (tomb raider legend). So it may be a good price.
I'd bet these are in the expensive side. People have been wanting some kind of timesplitters remaster for a long time now.
I thought it was a pretty good month, then I saw time splitter. It made it so much better. I always wanted to play this game but never did
Not the best month for me other than timesplitters!! Can't wait to replay them again, be nice if they have trophies too but no danger of they don't, can't wait!
The PS4 suffers from no shortage of great RPGs. From expansive open world ventures to fully realized fantasy offerings, there's a lot to try.
The ending was always going to be somewhat disappointing, the true adventure and magic of the game comes through the smaller encounters that bring the world to life. Although not a terrible story by any stretch, the main quest line came up short, in my opinion, next to the more engaging side quests, but it was interesting to see the plot of the books extend into the video game universe The DLC ended the story on a much better note, particularly Blood and Wine.
The game was and is utterly brilliant.
I liked having a straight up evil enemy to defeat at the end, by that point I'd had enough of complex grey areas and was ready to smite some bad guys to save the day. I think Death March is the best way to play the game and it was not an easy fight for me, I was dodging around that arena like a maniac but it was a good fight and a worthy end to a great game.
Witcher 3 needs actual gameplay in general.
Wait, Skyrim needs this article too. Here it should go like this... "After 8 hours of gameplay I've walked more than theres been dialogue or actual combat and now the final boss is a dragon?!.... How original can you get?"
But we all know Skyrim shines from the side quest not the main story. The Witcher however in my opinion shined in both of those aspects. I also enjoy the witcher 3s more complex combat over Skyrim, but I understand that not everyone likes the style. Some prefer the simplicity of Skyrim... And there's nothing wrong with that.
That’s been a lingering issue with many modern AAA titles.
