I think the DLC is worth getting because the #1 complaint about Nier Automata was that the combat was too easy and the arenas give some ridiculous challenges (although some of the flights are very time wastey and damage spongy)

If you have a PS4 Pro, the performance mode setting is stunning. Seeing that game run at a more or less locked 60fps is incredible.

Have they redone it again? High fps would break the AI and physics on the PS3 in a few places.

Yes. A lot better. Would have been my game of the year but the sequel to Kevin Costner’s The Postman swooped in for that honor. A game I thought would be a train wreck.

Hail to the King, baby.

One game I'll highlight out of the sale is Puyo Puyo Tetris, which for a long time was only available on disc for PS4 because of The Tetris Company's insane licensing rules. It was finally released digitally on PS4 two years after its physical release in NA, almost exactly a year ago on 3/5/19.

It's been $20 since its digital release on PSN, and this sale marks the first time it's ever been discounted on PSN. It's $5 off, down to $15. I'm going to pick it up because I've been watching it since it finally went digital. It's the best way to play Puyo Puyo and Tetris combined or separately on PS4. Especially the multiplayer modes, which Tetris Effect has none of.

Seconding. I payed too much for an import years ago and then rebought it at some point digitally. However it did make me learn the story mode is less annoying when you don't know what they are saying.

While that is more than enough time to play the game, if you want to read and hear all the audio logs in the game for the lore you might be cutting it close.

some ghoulish parody of humanity
With all this isolation going on, a friend and I have been enjoying more and more online co-op duo's. We've played Diablo 3 a lot until it's now the grind-fest that it is, and I am looking for another fix that we will both like. We are now doing a bit of Sniper Elite 4 (free PSN game a few months back) and while that's a fun way to shake things up, I'm sure we'll be done in a week or so. The campaign seems short, even if the missions are all pretty long.

I was looking at the PSN spring sale (EU) and saw Warhammer: Vermintide 2 (25 euros with two DLCs). I read some reviews and it looks like it will scratch my itch, being able to co-op duo it, with teamwork, some classes specs to mix and match and loot after each mission. Any goon advice on this game?

Anthem pricing: Even if someone was remotely interested in getting it, paying 20€ (or $) for it on PSN is hilarious since new copies are being sold for 9.99€ for months in here. 14.99€ for the edition with a bunch of horse armor DLCs.

Any goon advice on this game?

Vermintide 2 is great, think of it like fantasy Left 4 Dead, where a team of 4 players is trying their best to make their way through a level to complete an objective, slashing and burning through the destructive hordes of evil, complete with specialist enemies that have abilities and powers. In the same way you have to press onward, use your resources well and work as a team to get through, and if someone dies you will get opportunities to pick them up throughout the level. All that said, it's a Fantasy Warhammer game, not a FPS zombie survival, so it has enough of its own flavour to make it worth playing.

Each character has different abilities and a variety of weapon options, and as you level them up you have some skill options and can choose different classes that change your abilities, available weapons and playstyle per character. You also get better weapons and items that can improve your stats just like gear in any RPG. Each level also has hidden collectable items that improve your chance of decent loot at the end of each mission. It can be a difficult game at first but once you get to grips with the melee combat and how to tackle the enemies in variety and number, you'll find you can handle them much more easily and practically wade through them.

Then you can turn up the difficulty, and find that the difficulty options really are not loving around. If you take beginner level playstyle and priorities into the higher difficulties, your health is going to be gone before you realise quite how much of a fight the enemies put up. And while gear helps here, getting to grips with the combat and mechanics during your second time through will really make the game feel like you're accomplishing something by staying alive through the whole ordeal. That, plus the loot mechanics and the five different characters each with three classes to play as, makes the gsme really replayable.
