Might be good for someone like me who never played the original.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I expect so. The 1st is a great game and seemingly the 2nd is too. Maybe it just lost some charm or the novelty of the nemesis system wasnt there as I'd played the first.
It may have just been Unisoft/open world fatigue to be honest.
I generally dislike Ubisoft games so I'm guessing it's one I'll play 1/3rd of before getting bored.
So i guess that is confirming that a PS+ subscription will be valid for PS4 & 5 (rather than a separate subscription for each console).
Was always going to be the case - like with PS3, PSVita and PS4.
great month imo
Ah right. I had let my PS plus lapse last year so wasn’t sure if I’d end up double paying and a few of the comments online were that it wasn’t confirmed. May as well restart it now so!
Nope!
Perfect month for me finally, should see me through to the PS5 (if mine arrives at launch).
Interesting note from Eurogamer re. Bugsnax:
you'll have from the day the PS5 launches in your particular region until 1st April 2021 to claim your Bugsnax PS5 copy, which means anyone getting a console at Christmas won't be left out.

Quick question. Does anyone know that, if you get the DLC included in the Shadow of War ps plus? The expansion pass is on sale right now for 10 quid and I don’t want to end up spending if it’s going to be free next week. Seems like a great deal.
I would say not. Often these types of games going on PS-Plus are, I presume, hoping you will like the game enough to invest in the expansions. I cannot say for sure they won't be included, but I'd be very surprised if they were.
After all the stress? It bloody better!
I'm still not massively confident but it is what it is.
Just tried Hollow Knight and found it really boring. I’m sure it adds more mechanics but didn’t really see the point. Not my kind of game.
Enjoying Shadow of War though for what it is. I despise games that have holding X to sprint though because you can’t easily pan the camera as you do it. Should always be clicking the left stick in.
Combat also feels very basic and clunky compared to nowadays but still enjoyable. The nemesis system if expanded on could be even more brilliant.

Ni No Kuni II is on offer for £7.59 (£9.99 if you're not PS Plus) - What's it like?
it's pretty good. Feels like you're playing a studio Ghibli game but the combat is just "OK" by JRPG standards.
Heard good things, at least about the first one.
I've bought this anyway, even though I might not ever play it, because the price seems like a steal.

I found Ni No Kuni II extremely disappointing after loving the first game. It lacks all of the first game's charm for me, the world feels more generic and the combat is terrible. Where the first game has that typical Studio Ghibli childlike wonder, the writing in the second is just plain childish. It also has kingdom building which plays exactly like a typical mobile game and a bunch of pointless skirmishes tacked on.
Yeah I agree, the second was proper shite. No idea why they didn't just stick with the same formula as the first.
Ah really? I won’t bother then 
Ni Nu Kuni II is also extremely easy even on the highest difficulties, the game is just a mess.
It reviewed well so at least some people loved it, though I don't really know why.Ah really? I won’t bother then
Oh whoops I thought that said the first game not the second. Yeah don't bother. Definitely play the first though if you can get it fairly cheap.
feck sake, i've bought it now!
It was £7 on the Switch last week.
Play it and tell us how shit it is!
I thought it was weird how you said it plays like a Studio Ghibli game, which is only true for the first game. Makes sense now.
The first one? That's a good deal. Perfect type of game for the Switch actually.
Yeah.
I bought it earlier this year for my gf and it cost £40 so I was a bit pissed off when I saw how cheap it was on the store.
Also I just realised it wasn’t Hollow Knight I played it was Limbo
I get confused easy.Finished Alien so going to do Hollow Knight next, probably be my last game on PS4.

Limbo's not easy but much easier to play without a controller. Great game too.you dick I downloaded Hollow Knight because of your post and thought it was crap.Also I just realised it wasn’t Hollow Knight I played it was Limbo

Hollow Knight is an incredible game.
found it proper boring
Not all games are for everyone but how long did you play it for? I’m a big metroidvania fan, so perhaps biased but the whole package - artwork, audio, game world design are just perfect IMO. Quite a challenge though.
About 20 mins so not that long but I wasn’t really a fan of the setting or mechanics. It’s not typically my kind of game tbh but Elvis said it was good, not realising he meant Limbo.
Have you played Limbo?
