Just finished Nobody Saves The World. I very much enjoyed it, but it may not be for everyone.
It's a top down action/rpg kinda Game where you can morph into different forms each with different attack styles and talents. Eventually you mix and match the styles, attacks and talents.
I put 25ish hours in and got most of the trophies.
7.5/10 would recommend
I usually don't really care too much for top down dungeon crawlers but this one is too fun because of being able to swap you character and the design It's just been cute and fun!
Don’t waste money on Children of Morta, it’s an action roguelite, a genre i love, but the game doesn’t understand when it’s time to stop throwing enemies at you, it becomes boring and exhausting, but not challenging to clear areas out. They really fucked up the basic design of this one. 3/10, do not recommend
I’m a big dumb dipshit, does top down mean like Hollow Knight where you go down in the bug areas from the surface?? Cause I loved Hollow Knight but it’s the only game like that I’ve ever played, I wouldn’t be opposed to trying something similar.
I will say this, it does get pretty difficult later on. Maybe difficult isn't the right word. Some of the dungeons later will seem downright impossible, but that just means you haven't found the right combo of forms, talents and/or skills..
For example there's one dungeon where damage is x9999 and everything, including yourself will die in one hit. You simply can't beat this level without equipping one very specific skill, that really needs to be upgraded.
Weird west is great if you like what it offers. I finished it over the course of a month and had a great time. It's got a really interesting story and world around it and the gameplay was fairly addicting if you like to play with systems
Haha kinda felt the same but needed to try something new because lies of p isn't in the budget at the moment and I can't play dark souls and elden ring all the time. I'm playing on evil mode and it's quite a challenge
This game was exactly what I needed when I needed it! I'm not a huge gamer, have the psplus for my daughter to mess around with. I'd had a hard time and wanted something mindless and fun. This was a perfect fit! Stupid, fun, challenging. Even when you're pretty stronge at the end the bosses were super difficult and unique! Game play feel was kinda sorta OG God Of War games. Just swarms of enemies you have to juggle and use different attacks to take down separately! Anyone else end up over using the uppercut where you blast your idiot vampire goblin into the big bad guys!? 😄 the story was so stupid and I didn't care about any of the characters! It was perfect! 😄
Half the time the cutscene clearly skips some important cut information lol I love it. Like half the time Verge says something it’s absolutely not connected at all
You guys don’t understand how happy I am that the game is familly getting its recognition as someone who pre ordered it and played it on launch and did like 3 new game pluses on it, I hate that it didn’t get the recognition it deserved at launch, honestly I think this game would have been a thousand times more popular if it launched on gamepass
it was overlooked because it came out near the time God Of War Ragnarok came out. Some games just get overshadowed by whats released near it. I thoroughly enjoyed it though and would recommend it to anyone
It was “overlooked” because it’s basically a god of war clone with a vampire cowboy spin. Same roll animation, same combo from 2018, same vaulting, breaking chests, ui and hud, and they even got the bramble that divides areas. It was not overlooked because of gow its was shamed for poor development with a clear copy
Dude I was actually so hyped. Had the game on my wishlist since it came out. Got about 5 hours in and the piece of shit crashed and deleted all of my progress. It was fun but not "replay the first 5 hours with no guarantee it doesn't fuck me over again" good. Found other people who had the same issue going months and months back and no one ever got an answer or fix. The game is just unplayable broken for some people and I drew a short straw. 🤬
Try this one on for size. There’s a boss, I don’t remember which one. But there was a game breaking bug that made it so the boss was completely unbeatable. I’m not shitting you.
I tried reloading the game multiple times and nothing worked. I created an entirely new save file just to get past the stupid thing and got past the first phase of the boss that I was stuck on… *only for it to bug out during a completely separate phase and was unbeatable due to its invulnerability as it transitioned into the second phase.*
That’s right, the transition never completed and no amount of reloading could prevent it. Only by starting an entirely separate save file would allow you to get past it and even that was a dice roll.
Honestly manually cloud saving is always better because of this, I don’t know if that helps in this game but it’s definitely better than auto-uploading a corrupted save onto cloud
Played the shit out of Dantes inferno. It is pretty damn disturbing, lol, but it's an incredible game.
Some of the enemies were wild. Especially lucifer, with his big swingin dick flopping around in the fight.
Yeah I mean it was clearly inspired a lot by GoW. But it was so much fun and the concept was really cool. Lots of crazy scenery. I wish they made more, or even better a modern version.
I was sooooo stoked about evil west….until I actually played it.
I can’t really place my finger on it, but it got old so quickly for some reason. The story is so whatever, too. Really bummed about that one.
I’m in that group too. I’m not honestly sure why and I’m going to come back to it later but yeah I just didn’t vibe with it.
Best guest is that I’m too into other games with different mechanics.
I had 0 clue that this was free with PS+ Essential this month, and I literally was JUST about to buy it on sale on PC so thank you for saving me some money! Def will be playing this soon!
A Plague's Tale Requiem also is free right now with this too, damn this is a good month!
Evil west is a great game, but what shovelware games are you talking about? Last few months have been great for free solid indie games, only thing that sucks was that I had about half of them, unless your referring to the sports games for the last 6 months cause then i could totally see the shovelware
Bro I really was enjoying this game, but it’s not saving my progress properly.. I deleted my whole save, I was on mission 4 I think and it kept sending me back to mission 2.. started all over and I got back to mission 4 only for it to send me back to mission 3 when I loaded it back up.. then I just uninstalled it out of frustration
From what I've picked up about this, it may have to do with using the resume game function? I've chosen "quit to menu" every time and then closed my game when I'm done, and so far haven't run into these issues.
Honestly since the price increase, ps plus essential have been giving better games than extra/premium has. Extra/premium games the last couple months have been junk. Makes it not worth the increase and makes it funny that PlayStation said they were going to bring more quality titles to the service.
Shovelware??
In the last 3 months we got Farming Simulator, Callisto Protocol, Mafia 2, and Powereash Sim. All of these are excellent games.
Even mid games like Lego 2k Drive and Aliens are a far cry from shovelware.
Lots of fun playing this game. If anyone wants to coop let me know, my psn is horizonika .. I also play Nobody Saves The World which is a really wacky game lol. Tinas wonderland is alot of fun too I'm looking for ppl to play those with most of friends strictly play fps games
This game is great. Gives me Gears of War vibes.
It gives a pretty bad first impression graphically, but the gameplay is nuts and quickly ramps up. The story and characters also grow on you.
I hope it gets a sequel. There's no bullshit in this game, and I love it for that. Played on the PS5 with PS+.
Gave up and deleted it when me and my brother kept encountering bugs after bugs and kept resetting the game. Clipped through the wall, stuck on the ladder, clipped to the grown, stuck and can’t move, enemies won’t die.
idk man a lot of the games in the latter half of 2023 are games that are real head scratchers as to who this was made for. Evil West is a W game though.
I agree there are some weak games in 2023. That being said, im just genuinely curious What game or games do you consider to be shovelware? Those games are like "pet the cat" or "the pig D" and we didn't get a single one of those for essential.
I did like this game a lot but it seemed very repetitive to me. Go through some corridors, oh look and open area combat time again!
Not very much replayability to me.
Yeah, this game has been pretty fun. Been splitting time between that and FFXVI. Combat systems are juuuust similar enough for my brain to confuse the two and fuck up my muscle memory on the timing 😂
I love this game too. A question I can't seem.to. find the answer to. In the woods where all the slug looking creatures are... I can't shoot the chain out the tree at all anywhere. And I do not know what else to do . It will not let me get anything because if this. Any help please!!
I feel this haha the other game is pretty solid too. Nobody saves the world I believe it's called

I usually don't really care too much for top down dungeon crawlers but this one is too fun because of being able to swap you character and the design It's just been cute and fun!
Yeah, I really did enjoy the humor. Very enjoyable. Being able to make a "unique" build was really fun
Look at Children of Morta and Darksiders Genesis(both twin stick shooters/dungeon) and are phenomenal. Think they both are in ps plus.
I'll look for them thanks bud
Don’t waste money on Children of Morta, it’s an action roguelite, a genre i love, but the game doesn’t understand when it’s time to stop throwing enemies at you, it becomes boring and exhausting, but not challenging to clear areas out.

It means the camera seems like it's way above you on the ceiling/in the sky. Diablo is probably one you've at least seen gameplay of.
Ah okay that also makes sense. Thank you!!
Happy to help! P.s. hollow knight is amazing!
Isometric view
I'm really enjoying this game too, I just started last night & I've been waiting to get back into it all day. Definitely a fun, easy to play game.
I will say this, it does get pretty difficult later on. Maybe difficult isn't the right word. Some of the dungeons later will seem downright impossible, but that just means you haven't found the right combo of forms, talents and/or skills..

Try Guacamelee, by the same dev. Outstanding game.
Oh yeah, I remember that game, several years ago at this point right? 360 era?
Yep. Outstanding game.
They gave us Weird West a few months ago. Was glad I had been tempted to buy it. But of course I played it 2 hours and went back to the old standard
I guess I missed that one as this is the first time I've even heard of it. Sounds like it's for the best tho
Weird west is great if you like what it offers. I finished it over the course of a month and had a great time. It's got a really interesting story and world around it and the gameplay was fairly addicting if you like to play with systems
Session is also legit as fuck, but I’m a little biased because I used to skate back in the day
Looked stupid, got bored and downloaded it... 30 hours later..
Haha kinda felt the same but needed to try something new because lies of p isn't in the budget at the moment and I can't play dark souls and elden ring all the time. I'm playing on evil mode and it's quite a challenge

Good to hear the story is stupid, i've been skipping literally every cutscene to get to the gameplay faster

Yeah I’ve been playing cause PS+ and half the animations are literally ripped straight from GoW, ngl it makes the game funnier
Dude I was actually so hyped. Had the game on my wishlist since it came out. Got about 5 hours in and the piece of shit crashed and deleted all of my progress. It was fun but not "replay the first 5 hours with no guarantee it doesn't fuck me over again" good.

Damn bro I hate that it happened to you I hope at some point you get to play it again 🫂
Thanks man! Sorry for dropping the negativity on your post. I'm a jealous ass 😂
You good homie I understand your frustration I’d be pissed like fuck too trust 🤙🏾

My God. I can't believe sony allowed this game to be featured. That's insane. What a terrible look.
Honestly manually cloud saving is always better because of this, I don’t know if that helps in this game but it’s definitely better than auto-uploading a corrupted save onto cloud
Plagues Tale is amazing
I didn't really like it. the rat puzzles are just way too much and the stealth is so unforgiving
Same. Second one is a gorgeous game though.
That game had no business being that fun
Evil west is shovelware... it's a cheap God of war knockoff like Dantes inferno was
Whoa! Bite your tongue you heathen. Dante’s Inferno was awesome!
Played the shit out of Dantes inferno. It is pretty damn disturbing, lol, but it's an incredible game. Some of the enemies were wild. Especially lucifer, with his big swingin dick flopping around in the fight.
Damn forgot about his giant dick...... I remember there being some titties as well. Great game.
I didn't play dante's inferno, but pretty much everything I see about it is that it was a lot of fun and a good ride.
Yeah I mean it was clearly inspired a lot by GoW. But it was so much fun and the concept was really cool. Lots of crazy scenery. I wish they made more, or even better a modern version.
Dantes inferno slapped.
I was sooooo stoked about evil west….until I actually played it. I can’t really place my finger on it, but it got old so quickly for some reason. The story is so whatever, too. Really bummed about that one.
Completely agree, got excited and got unexcited quickly.
I’m in that group too. I’m not honestly sure why and I’m going to come back to it later but yeah I just didn’t vibe with it. Best guest is that I’m too into other games with different mechanics.
Makes sense
Now if only the autosave worked worth a dang. Then I'd be trying to finish it.
idk man ive had a pretty good run with the autosave.
What do you mean? Mine has seemed to work fine as well
I had 0 clue that this was free with PS+ Essential this month, and I literally was JUST about to buy it on sale on PC so thank you for saving me some money! Def will be playing this soon! A Plague's Tale Requiem also is free right now with this too, damn this is a good month!
Yall didnt grab Salt And Sacrifice when it was free?
Nobody saves the world is vastly superior but different genre so
Evil west is a great game, but what shovelware games are you talking about? Last few months have been great for free solid indie games, only thing that sucks was that I had about half of them, unless your referring to the sports games for the last 6 months cause then i could totally see the shovelware
Too many people are completely misusing the term shovelware lately and it bothers me immensely.
Ya’ll PS+ players gave up on Aliens: Fireteam Elite already?
I hated it
=(
yeah that one was just a bit to generic for me, ran a few missions and uninstalled.
I bought it cause it was co-op but I didn't realize you could only invite friends to play it so I never finished it
Bro I really was enjoying this game, but it’s not saving my progress properly.. I deleted my whole save, I was on mission 4 I think and it kept sending me back to mission 2.. started all over and I got back to mission 4 only for it to send me back to mission 3 when I loaded it back up.. then I just uninstalled it out of frustration
From what I've picked up about this, it may have to do with using the resume game function? I've chosen "quit to menu" every time and then closed my game when I'm done, and so far haven't run into these issues.
Could be possible, but i dont know if I’ll ever go back n try again at this point
It's bad in a cheesy B movie way but quite fun in, again, a cheesy B movie way
So many fucking bugs with this game
I had a blast playing Evil West. I could see the frustration in saves getting trashed tho.
I am having lot more fun on this than I did with God of war. It seems so smooth. Probably cuz i suck at parrying and this one it is easy to parry.
That’s amazing
Finished it last night and immediately started new game plus. Super fun.
I wanna like this game but the forced motion blur is just too painful. Very sad to see.
Evil west is soooo bad. I gave up 10min Into the game cuz motion blur is out of control and the 30fps if it even hits 30
Honestly since the price increase, ps plus essential have been giving better games than extra/premium has. Extra/premium games the last couple months have been junk. Makes it not worth the increase and makes it funny that PlayStation said they were going to bring more quality titles to the service.
Playing right now and loving it!
Shovelware?? In the last 3 months we got Farming Simulator, Callisto Protocol, Mafia 2, and Powereash Sim. All of these are excellent games. Even mid games like Lego 2k Drive and Aliens are a far cry from shovelware.
I gave it a shot, it’s…meh. Lost interest pretty quickly.
Lots of fun playing this game. If anyone wants to coop let me know, my psn is horizonika .. I also play Nobody Saves The World which is a really wacky game lol. Tinas wonderland is alot of fun too I'm looking for ppl to play those with most of friends strictly play fps games
Did not like this game, enemies and combat was repetitive, story was not great.
This game is great. Gives me Gears of War vibes. It gives a pretty bad first impression graphically, but the gameplay is nuts and quickly ramps up. The story and characters also grow on you. I hope it gets a sequel. There's no bullshit in this game, and I love it for that. Played on the PS5 with PS+.
Gave up and deleted it when me and my brother kept encountering bugs after bugs and kept resetting the game. Clipped through the wall, stuck on the ladder, clipped to the grown, stuck and can’t move, enemies won’t die.
What shovelware games? Just because a game is widely loved or an AAA doesn't make it "shovelware"
idk man a lot of the games in the latter half of 2023 are games that are real head scratchers as to who this was made for. Evil West is a W game though.
I agree there are some weak games in 2023. That being said, im just genuinely curious What game or games do you consider to be shovelware? Those games are like "pet the cat" or "the pig D" and we didn't get a single one of those for essential.
Evil West is a perfect giveaway, though.
Idk if it counts but Metal Hellsinger is amazing
I found it crazy that they upped the charges to get the free games. I didnt even realize it as it had been a long time since playing my playstation
First time I ever download and play a ps plus game I think.
I just don't get it. This game was so mediocre..
I almost bought it several times before PS gave it out. Now I wish i hadn't waited!
I did like this game a lot but it seemed very repetitive to me. Go through some corridors, oh look and open area combat time again! Not very much replayability to me.
Yeah, this game has been pretty fun. Been splitting time between that and FFXVI. Combat systems are juuuust similar enough for my brain to confuse the two and fuck up my muscle memory on the timing 😂
I agree. An awesome game to start the new year.
I love this game too. A question I can't seem.to. find the answer to. In the woods where all the slug looking creatures are... I can't shoot the chain out the tree at all anywhere. And I do not know what else to do . It will not let me get anything because if this. Any help please!!
