We should point out that Sony will be changing how PlayStation Now works soon.
Starting from June 2022, PlayStation Now willmerge with PlayStation Plusto form a new, three-tiered mega service.
Only the top, most expensive one applies to us PC folk: PlayStation Plus Premium.
Bloodborne
We’ve gotBloodborne PSXon PC, but not the original.
And boy is the original an absolute stunner.
Not in the sparkly, magical sort of way.
More in the oppressive, bloody, nightmarish sense.
The game is a masterclass inGothichorror and perhaps FromSoftware’s most streamlined Souls game to date.
Bloodborneis fast and visceral, with a clever, intertwining map filled with secrets.
What separates it fromDark Souls- andElden Ringto some extent is its demand.
And as you learn not to flinch, the descent into the nightmare only gets deeper and deeper.
Shadow Of The Colossus
Are you ready to murder some giants?
Let’s go do it!
Climb up on the back of that bull-faced monstrosity and stab him in the noggin.
That showed him who’s boss.
Now go and shank that big horsey-looking fella in his vulnerable bits.
Look at him fall.
That’s another large but ultimately harmless animal destroyed forever.
We sure stabbed him right in his innocent forehead.
Why am I crying.
This is so weird.
Why am I crying, guys?
You control Asura, a deity and someone who’s very angry with his godly colleagues.
Its totally, utterly, completely bonkers.
Give it a whirl - you won’t stop smiling.
It’s a gentle game with a breezy soundtrack, delightful puzzles, and a happy atmosphere.
Not only is it relentlessly cheery, but it’ll also get your brain whirring too.
It’s the story of two prisoners trying to escape from a castle, chased by shadows and darkness.
And then there’s Forbidden Siren.
Yes, it’s the main reason I bought one.
Never mind that you’ll also have its Left Behind add-on available.
It’s a little Uncharted, a little DayZ and a lot of drama.
It has its own flaws.
There' sections of enemies that begin to feel like more of a nuisance than a horrific threat.
And your adventure is as linear and controlled as an airport novel.
But it all comes together in the end.
It makes a nice change from all theseseriousshooters nowadays, you know?
PlayStation Now is packed with them, including the handheld spin-offs as well as the main trilogy.
