      I only played it like 2 months ago on my PS5. It was a discount to €50 but I’d say full price would still be totally worth it.

      The quality of the game, gameplay and story far surpasses that of many others, 2 years does not degrade the quality of the game.

      I’d rather pay €60 for this than €70 for Astro Bot.

      Do you need Playstation Plus or just an account?

        Just an account I think. I’d just rather not.

          I misinterpreted your comment, I read it as $60 for the PSN account, not the game 🤦‍♂️

            Understandable. Sorry for the confusion.

              Yeah, I’m sorry for my constant confusion, too. I appreciate your understanding :)

      I hope some mods come out that allows it to be skippable for single player games. I wonder what this means for the future of Playstation games on GOG, since Sony had been releasing games there.

      I’ve had my PS4 pro for years and never had paid PSN, is it required for PS5?

      Or just for online play, which I do not care for

        They’re referring to Sony’s stance that all their PC releases should require you to have and sign-in to a PSN account. That’s separate to PS+, you don’t need to pay a sub.

        A lot of publishers include this requirement on their PC releases, regardless of whether they’re single-player or multiplayer, and I think a lot of people are fed up with having to have so many different accounts.

          Fair enough, I assumed you gamed on both and stopped for PS5 because they made PSN mandatory and I somehow was unaware.

          Can’t justify a gaming PC when PS4 pro was pretty cheap and my gaming hours are not what they used to be

          I can justify a not so new console every 5 or so years as they hit my value for money sweet spot, and reduced gaming hours due to life

          But the upfront cost for a decent rig to replace consoles entirely is not what I want to use my money for (for now!)

          Can’t wait to finally make the jump though!

            Somebody else also said it but the steam deck is amazing. Mid level pc performance that can handle almost all new games, and you can use a dock and have it set up just like a console. I use mine all yhe time with bluetooth ps4 controllers. Much bigger games library+being able to emulate so many older consoles makes it a no brainer i think.

        PSN account is free, you probably already have one if you owned one of the last 3 PlayStation consoles. There are paid add-ons if you want the multiplayer or the gamepass like subscription.

        What’s with all the downvotes, it’s literally an answer to the question. You fellas mad I didn’t editorialize the information with personal opinions?

      Even for the single player games?

        Starting with this one, it’s a requirement on PC, yes. Hopefully they do away with it due to lost sales, but they’re still at least pretending that they’re somehow going to convert PC players into console players.

          I don’t think that’s their goal at all. Otherwise we wouldn’t see any sequels released on PC, that would be a much better strategy for converting players to console. The only reason publishers require their own logins in games, at least for single-player titles, is data collection. Data is very valuable.

            Literally their goal.

            As mentioned (via Tom Warren) by [Playstation co-CEO Hermen] Hulst in the interview, Sony wants to tempt PC players to purchase and play sequels to single-player narrative games on a PlayStation console.

            Yeah, I think the strategy is so terrible that they can’t believe it, but they’ve publicly stated that’s the goal. I’m not sure what data they’d get out of it that they don’t get out of Steam achievements, but more likely it’s to brag about how many “active PSN users” they have, using a misleading number. Still, all I see when I see that requirement is online DRM.
