With The Outer Worlds, Obsidian has found its own path in the space between Bethesda and BioWare's RPGs, and it’s a great one.
February’s Game Catalog lineup for PlayStation Plus brings together racing thrills, sci-fi adventure and a selection of entries from a classic RPG series. Take to the streets in Need for Speed Unbound, blast off into space in The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition, then experience some acclaimed RPG fantasy action in the Tales of… series. These and many more titles are playable from February 20. Let’s take a closer look at each game in turn.
Finally, Resistance: Retribution 🔥
It's an alright month overall. I think Sony should try to more consistently get some high quality indies Day 1 in the service, e.g. Ultros would have been good. Those have usually been some of the better months, e.g. Stray, Sea Of Stars, Tchia.
Shame that for this version of Outer Worlds, you can't import your save. 😔 Truly Spacer's Choice
retribution was a cool game. It's the only one that allowed you to link a DS3 controller using Resistance 2 to play it (as far as i know). It was an interesting experiment that didnt offer 2nd analog support though but Im betting this version does.
Joke’s on Outer Worlds Spacers Choice. I quit after the first planet in Outer Worlds.
Unbound lol. N I got it for 15 physical, 🤷🏽. I'll take it. Jus got extra this year for $80, which is a great deal. If I can pay $80 on sale every year I'd stick with Extra. I don't mind buying a game but then it shows up here cause then I can download it to have it digitally but still have MY copy. Once they take it off I can still play it.
You can say what you want about day one purchases but besides that Plus really blows GamePass out of the water.
NFS, Outer Worlds and 4 different Tales of Games... and Retribution. And you throw the monthly games on top of that... its no competition.
BTW... how is it that no one realized that Microsoft could just put its games on Plus. No one seems to realize that Microsoft and Sony are now working to enrich each other. (Console ware is over)
Sadly, Retribution is only for premium users... not us extra folk. I do have the original UMD, but it would be nice to get it digitally like i did with killzone liberation and stardust. Both of which i already owned digitally on my Go/Vita and it was cool when those were made available for the PS5 as then i could dl them.
Gamepass PC is way cheaper to PS+ and even way cheaper if you use MS rewards points
Is that Jet Moto 2, under Resistance? As of writing, it's just an image and no text.
Why is the Killzone series still M.I.A? I still love playing splitscreen co-op of KZ3.
They did release the psp top down shooter a while back. So it's not completely forgotten.
The new free game available on the Epic Games Store to celebrate the ongoing Holiday sale is The Outer Worlds Spacer's Choice Edition.
Added to my account. Probably won't have time to play but hey can't say no to a freebie 😂!
I'd rather pay for a game on Steam than have it free on Epic Games Store.
Some people just want capitalist communism and for Steam to have no competition. All of a sudden investing over a decade into 1 digital store front or having all your eggs in one basket looks under threat as the competition heats up. Now they are starting to see the potential pitfalls of what if Steam were to lose in the long run. The best solution was always the one we had right now. Library in your home and go to physical or online stores so no one has complete control of your loyalty or media. (Physical Media).
Nah, I dislike having tons of janky clutter on my computer. I'd certainly be willing to pay for a game I really wanted rather than get it for free if getting it for free means embracing janky clutter. It's like getting something "free with ads." The ads are their own type of price.
I'll just claim it and then never see the egs until I need it next. Same as I do with steam. Why use multiple when GOG Galaxy is a thing?
For some people it's Steam or nothing. I too use GOG Galaxy. It even has my xbox stuff.
There is nothing wrong with EGS. I have GOG Galaxy, Steam and EGS running and the pc is not struggling or crashing. I have more games on EGS than Steam due to all the freebies. It's good to have options other than Steam.

Just a couple more days
Can’t wait
The score I expected but it's just a score.
We also need to take into consideration that the team that build this game is small and not the full potential of Obsidian. This is more of an indie tier game not something that will blast fallout out the waters. The next game will no doubt be a greater deal.
The review says that there is a strong Firefly influence - that has me sold.
Nice! Im there #DayOne with XGP!
Congrats to Obsidian, this game is getting great scores across the board. This was made with their smaller second team and a limited budget. Since Microsoft wants to turn this into an enduring exclusive franchise, I imagine the Fallout creators are going to get an insane budget for the sequel on Scarlett.
