How?

It's not listed with the ps+ titles (although on second look I see evil dead is listed twice...), and searching the store for mafia only results in mafia 2, 3 & sonic mania for some reason.

I just searched Mafia (on the PS App on my phone) and it was the first result. What country are you in?

I think this is why the majority of streamers who can make it their actual career are able to do it. Most of the streamers I watch regularly I'm not watching for the gameplay, I'm watching because the streamer themself is entertaining to me.

Yeah I definitely have done this a few times, but it's not my main reason for watching. Alpha Beta Gamer, for example, plays weird indie games I'd never pick up, but does so without any kind of commentary, and I quite like that.

Maybe it’s not available in your region, they do that some months. You usually get a different game to fill the gap though.

They really don't want people buying the essential ps+, cause I can't even find the free games on their site. Presumably it's buried in some menu, but for a paid service, this should really be more obvious.

The web store is always hosed, Sony has a terrible store front in general. It is pure garbage.

Looks like some people are experiencing issues with the Mafia PS+ release because of a weird licensing issue: https://www.truetrophies.com/n22844/psn-licencing-issues-ps-plus.

They may have fixed it since your post because it came for me right away, albeit in the Canadian store. This link should bring you to the correct US store page.

Stranger of Paradise is a weird one, but the short answer is yes.

The long answer is that it's a weird bizarro version of FF1's plot and all the areas you explore are areas from different FF games, 1 through 15. None of that matters, though, it's just visual references. It plays a lot like like a Souls game, honestly (though there's no corpse runs), which is because it's made by the Nioh developer.

It’s not a traditional final fantasy game it’s a loot brawler thing. It’s a lot of fun but not what anyone would consider “final fantasy” other than having the name in the title.

Fortunately you can also play it on Steam at relatively mild minimum requirements for the low low price of only $30!!

That’s crazy talk. Going into the ps+ menu and adding the plainly listed games to your library is nuts, I’m going to Google around until I find an oblique link to the game and claim it’s someone else’s fault.

id say play ff7 remake, if it’s also cheap, it’s my favorite, but I also didn’t like stranger of paradise and it’s a lot different than the main final fantasy games.

The ff7 remake is exceptional. It grabs the music, story, just about everything great in the bones of the original and gives it an interesting, engaging battle system and enough changes that you can play both and have them both be wonderful unique experiences.

For people up thread who were attempting to search on the playstation.com search for Mafia. You have to change the drop down to "PlayStation Store" to search for games.



For some reason the site defaults to searching "Playstation.com" instead of "PlayStation Store" and you get different results from each. Change it to the non-default and it works better.

Edit: alternatively I guess you can just go to store.playstation.com instead of default playstation.com and then you get the store search.

I beat Dead Space Remake. It was my first Dead Space experience.

Overall, pretty good. I found the mid game most enjoyable because that was past the point where every encounter was a scripted pincers attack in a hallway and before they tried to extend the game with constant gauntlet rooms.

Things I didn't like was the obvious enemy trigger that would happen every time I plugged a power source into the wall, and the endless battle arenas near the end.

But doesn't every survival horror type game descend into battle arena mode near the end? It's a flaw of the genre.

Overall 80% of the chapters are mid game fun. Good game.

I messed around with the System Shock remake's PC demo long enough to report that the demo isn't on consoles because controller support is like half implemented. You can use a gamepad to play but all the prompts are for MKB, the controller config menu doesn't work, navigating menus is way awkward, and I can't figure out how to open emails I've collected, which is blocking me from finding a door code and progressing.

It has an interesting style to it though. It looks really good to my eye, but it's not trying to look like it was made in 2023. Environments are blocky and austere like a DOOM wad, which is fitting for a space station. Textures are noticeably low res when you get up close, but they're really well designed such that they look more like high-res pixel art than low-res textures. All the blinkenlight display textures are well animated and pretty. The lighting looks good like you'd expect from a modern game. It's a very different style from Prodeus, but seems to have a similar goal in coherently blending classic and modern visuals.
