Nidhoog should be played local anyways. I bought Murdered, I find the choices seem confusing, you search all over for the place for clues only to choose the one you had since the beginning. Though i just started, and still learning how to play.

Never played any of the following but I've heard good things and/or enjoyed clips I've come across. Anyone here who would definitely recommend/discourage spending $5~ on one of them?

Grow Home
Terraria
Rogue Legacy
Banner Saga
Nidhogg
Super Mega Baseball
Sound Shapes

the sale is over now but I want to chime in with my 2c and say that I got Grow Home for free on PS+ and I paid too much.
that game was garbage.

e: if you're a fan of QWOP and consider that to be a real and fun game, however, you'd probably like Grow Home.

EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A WHITE WHALE INTO THE PEQUOD. IT'S HELL'S HEART AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I STRIKE AT THEE ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, ISHMAEL.
This current sale, though.

Witcher 3, Just Cause 3 and Dying Light have all been in my sights for a while.

I've been holding onto a 20% discount code until I found a sale where my cart would be ~$150, looks like that time came sooner than I thought.

Oddly enough, I noticed that at least for CAD that Witcher 3 seems like it's cheaper (~$0.26) to buy the base game and season pass separately rather than bundled. Wonder why that is.

Downwell showed up this week. If you haven't played it, it's a really fun game that's easily worth the $5 they're asking for it.

I'm guessing if I loved it on IPhone but wished the controls were not touch... That this would be the ultimate?

Counterpoint: I also got Grow Home for free, and would have paid a fiver for it if I had to. Good stress reliever.

Yep, same game. Except the screen is still made to be vertical so it has borders, if you don't mind that.

Also I should note that $5 gives you both the PS4 and Vita version and the game actually has a platinum trophy.

For people who bought the vita version, do they have an option to play it with the vita rotated so you could have a bunch of vertical screen

Yes, you can, though the controls are obviously a bit awkward.

Edit: though you can set the controls to be whatever you want

It's pretty rad.

I enjoyed it a lot, more of a focus on point defense and map control based on summon able monsters you can place around the map. Kinda like a tower defense game in parts, and you can play the end game for a decent chunk of hours grinding out for mega bosses, if that's up your alley. Otherwise the main campaign is a decent chunk of fun without getting into that element of it.

It's not bad. There are of course a bunch of palette swaps but that's just keeping with DQ anyway. Not all of the monsters in the game are summonable by the player, but quite a few are.

Give me your friend's BURGERS and SANDWICHES, I'll put out the fire.

I'm playing it right now. I am not disspointed with the monsters, I wanted a Dynasty Warriors game with a literal rainbow of enemies and this game delivers.

That being said I am 3/4ths of the way through and the games starting to overstay it's welcome. The sequel coming out later this year in japan looks absolutely amazing though

I just beat the odin sphere demo in like 2 minutes of play time. wasn't impressed. it plays like muramasa rebirth but is less pretty and just as one-dimensional when it comes to combat. I want to meet the vanillaware devs and explain to them that having 2 attack buttons is ok and better than 1

I'm a minority when it comes to hating that game and thought maybe they were going to enhance it beyond what I remember it for. I found it to be very tedious and way too light on the RPG elements. I'm sure it opens up at some point since so many people seem to like it.

I finally bought a PS4 this month, but I've had PS Plus for years now. I'd been getting all the free PS4 games and now I'm installing them and top of the alphabetical list, Aaru's Awakening isn't downloading at all. Anybody else ever had this problem with it, or some other store bought game for that matter? Everything else I've tried is dowloading fine.

I wouldn't normally do this, but seriously, don't bother with Aaru's Awakening. It's a terrible game.

Edit: On a side note, what's everyone's worst PS Plus game they've played? One that you turned on for 30 seconds...immediately went "gently caress this." and deleted.

Mine is Futurium EP Deluxe...one of the worst games I've ever played. Tabletop comes close but man....Futurium just sticks in my head as a game that was a complete was of bandwidth.

Dragon's Crown is probably the most "robust" Vanillaware game in terms of gameplay but it's ps3/vita only.

For me it was Flame Over. I don't necessarily know it to be a bad game but I opened it and pretty immediately died to the flames, and there was something about it that made me not want to try again, so I didn't. It just didn't feel like it would be much fun.
