Could look at Stardew Valley, Astroneer or Human Fall Flat maybe. But none of those are really story driven. Also Portal 2 if you like puzzles.

In terms of story driven coop there's virtually nothing other than It Takes Two and A Way Out.
Cheers for the options. Going to run them by her.
Baldurs gate 3 is a story driven coop game
You know… this might be a goer! We played 2 through, so this is worth suggesting!
Admirable if you’ve a partner as progressive as that! She cannot stand the real thing let alone being subjected to it in a video game! :lol:

I would say it's been decent but a little lacking overall especially when a few of the big hitters like god of war and horizon are cross gen

Anyone know why sometimes it won’t auto update games? Particularly ones I’ve not played for a while. When I want to play it suddenly it needs a two hour update. I have the setting on to do it automatically.

Same here - feel like this is exactly why you choose that setting, but it doesn’t seem to work.

Anyone have an issue where if you eject a disc from the home screen via the DualSense Controller, it is again auto-inserted near instantly? Not facing this issue with the physical Disc ejection button itself.

I have never ejected a disk from the Home Screen before! Didn’t know it was an option.

Yeah, Sony ard pretty hot on age restrictions. My son was prevented from playing FIFA online for a few years because we set up the account in his name.

Think I had this issue on my PS4 once

That's what I've always done. And then don't put credit card details on the childs account so they can't buy sh1t

playstationers - how is the FF10 remake? Is it any good? Does it hold up? It's on sale right now on Xbox and am tempted...

It reduces it if you're using the controller microphone I know that but doubt it would also reduce it if you're using the jack.

God of War is £43 on PS Store. Is that a good price?

Ragnorak? If so yeah not bad but you could probably get it cheaper. Incredible game. Just released a free dlc that’s a lot of fun too.
Yeah Ragnarok. I've never actually played the first, is that a big issue?
Is the dlc the Valhalla level? That looks so good too.

The first is still a brilliant game and looks great on the ps5 with the Pro upgrade so I’d get that before Ragnorak. Also Ragnorak pretty much directly follows the plot of the first.

Appreciate that. I'll get the first first then.

Seems like it reduces it automatically if the microphone is on.

Weird

You really should play the first. It’s incredible and given it is a narrative driven adventure I don’t think your experience with Ragnarok will be complete without it.

Had this one on my wish list for a while but never wanted to actually pay for it so that’s decent for once.

I'd say the only system seller so far is Spider-Man 2 which is why I've not bothered getting one until now. I mean I love Ratchet and Clank but it's not a £400 game.

But they're starting to come in so I've bought a PS5... but not got Spider-Man 2 yet

That is legit one of the greatest months I can remember. All three on my wishlist, all games I've wanted to play for a while now but didn't get the sort of discount I wanted. Brilliant selection.

I've downloaded it. £7.99. Can't wait to play it now. Thanks.

Imo the first is the better game, feel like the pacing was spot on and there was more of a process around building the characters profiles. I know it's massively helped by the mystery of it all and trying to understand what's happening as the game goes along but it's a real masterpiece.

I drunkingly cracked my fecking HDMI port (putting the cable in upside down in port with unneccesary force) and now I keep losing signal unless I constantly adjust the cable.

Going to have to pay €120 to get it repaired ffs.

Just got a PS5 as a Christmas present but don't know where to start. Haven't played games since the original RDR.

Have EA FC 24 but not much interest in that to be fair, might start with RDR2 and then maybe COD or something similar. Have never played TLOU or God of War or any of that. Obviously new GTA next year.

If you folks were making recommendations to a newbie like me who hasn't followed the industry in 15 years, what would it be?
