PS Plus – February 2020

We got 4 games in January, so Sony decided they were going to one up themselves and give us 5 for February. Firewall: Zero Hour was a bonus PSVR game provided in February. Unfortunately I don’t have a video for that as I was having some PSVR/Capture Card issues.

BioShock: The Collection contains not only all of the current games but all of the DLC too.
BioShock, BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite are all included, except Infinite is on a separate download to the previous two.

The fact that I have watched this game before is the only reason I made it so far in my Let’s Try. The city of Rapture is a very cool setting, the sound design is great and the retro atmosphere is chilling.

The Sims 4 was a welcome surprise for me as a PS Plus game. I bought it at launch for PC and I can’t lie I was disappointed after 3. I played once, uninstalled it and shelved it. Since then I had another go and got more enjoyment out of it, however it is intensive on my laptop. So I was very excited to try it on PS4.

It turned out to be enjoyable enough. I’ll keep it on my console to scratch that Sims itch that comes around every few month. There is also the option of buying the expansion packs if you want more content, which go on sale fairly regularly.

Last month marked the beginning of my new thumbnail design, and this month I begun to use my new intro and outro! I am not 100% happy with it yet, it still needs some tweaks. What do you think of it?

PS Plus – January 2020

The first month of 2020 and instead of 2 we were given 4 games! Sadly for me I already own both.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection contains all three of the Uncharted games, remastered in all of their glory.
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted: Among Thieves and Uncharted: Drake’s Deception.

Drake’s Fortune was the second ever game that I Let’s Played, so instead of my regular Let’s Try videos, I just linked in the first episode of the Let’s Play.

Goat Simulator is a daft, sandbox goat simulating jank machine that can regularly be picked up for a couple of quid.
It isn’t a game that you are going to play long term but it is a relatively easy platinum trophy if you are into that! Also, if you do enjoy it there are many different DLC’s that you can pick up just as cheap.

January also marked the introduction of my shiny new Round Up thumbnail design, what do we think?

Let’s Play – Portal

I managed to go 13 years without getting this game spoiled. Pretty impressive.

I am not a fan of first person games but I knew this game was a classic and when I picked it up extremely cheap on Steam I knew I had to play it.. if for any reason for the history lesson.

As it turns out.. I probably would have benefited from some extra context.

Everyone else – Portal is such a fun game! It’s so funny!

Me – This is the most stressful thing I’ve ever done in my life. Let’s just forget Portals exist, do everything wrong and micro analyse every little thing.

I can’t even put it any other way.. my play-through sucks. However, now I feel much better equipped to attempt Portal 2!

Let’s Play – What Remains of Edith Finch

What Remains of Edith Finch was the first full play-through I did of a free PS Plus game since I started covering the monthly games on my channel.

It was already on my radar but playing through the first story had me sold. And it kept getting better.

This is another game that I would like to recommend playing through yourself before watching any other play-throughs, as I believe that would really enhance your experience. If not though, my play-through is here and I had a great time. The game really delivered and had me thinking for days. I couldn’t be more satisfied with what I took away from this story.

Also, my first full play-through with my full new set up! Much better than the old headset I used to use.

Let’s Play – Marvel’s Spider-Man PS4

Marvel’s Spider-Man PS4 was my first time recording an open world game. And also probably my last.

As a massive MCU fan I was extremely exited for this game. I pre-ordered and decided I was going to cover the game on my channel. In hindsight, I probably would have been better off just playing it in my own time, but that’s a lesson learned. See.. I am a procrastinator.

Approximately 2 years later I finally completed my play-through. The game really ramped up in the final third. Admittedly, this is not my best series. It does, however, witness my evolution from recording and editing everything on my PS4 console, to getting a proper microphone and capture card, and also upgrading from Microsoft Paint to Gimp for my thumbnails.

Let’s Play – The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is a short, free, prequel to Life is Strange 2.

I played Life is Strange before I started YouTubing. It is a prime example of a game that I wished I had recorded so I could have shared my thoughts and looked back on the experience. So when this popped up on the PS Store I had to give it a go.

I still haven’t gotten around to Life is Strange: Before the Storm or Life is Strange 2, but they are on the list. For now, this was a lovely little experience that I am glad I played.

Let’s Play – The Vanishing of Ethan Carter – Abandoned

What initially started as a Let’s Play unfortunately got abandoned.

This is a very important statement – I do not do horror. This game started out so well. I was so impressed by the detective sections and the puzzles. It felt so great to play. Then came the moment. A moment that scarred me to this very day. The game isn’t technically a horror but I felt like I couldn’t continue.

I do want to say that it is worth a watch. The game did so many things well. If it had continued how it started it probably would have been one of my favorite games. Instead, it was my first failed Let’s Play. In case you haven’t noticed.. I am a top class wimp. I still sometimes re-watch the end of my play-through, just for shits and giggles.

Let’s Play – Detroit: Become Human

Detroit: Become Human was the first brand new game that I did a Let’s Play of.. and it did not disappoint. Developed by Quantic Dream, I missed the era of Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls, so I could not have been more excited for this one.

I get very immersed in story games and went all in. They weren’t lying when they said choices matter. It was such a fun game and I recommend to everyone to play it yourself before watching a play-through.. have your own experience first.

Let’s Play – Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy

This game was.. an experience. Being a huge fan of Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls, playing Quantic Dreams previous title felt like a no brainer.

Although I have played the full game and watched a fair bit back, I am not entirely sure I could tell you what it is about. It starts great and descends into.. well.. you’ll see.

If you are looking for other content about this game I highly recommend the Watch out for Fireballs podcast episode. It gave me lots of laughs. Listen to the Episode here!
