Popular Post Sailar91 Posted May 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) NBA 2K23 | Ps4/Ps5 | - Metacritic 78 / User Score 45 Jurassic World Evolution 2 | Ps4/Ps5 | ✅ | Trophy Guide - Metacritic 78 / User Score 70 Trek to Yomi | Ps4/Ps5 | | Trophy Guide - Metacritic 69 / User Score 69 I am heavily conflicted about NBA 2K23. On one hand, the new retro game modes have reached out to my inner sports geek and given me a way to replay NBA history in a way that I’ve never done before. Especially paired with a handful of really strong gameplay changes, like improved spacing and AI, I foresee myself dumping dozens of hours into reliving and reconstructing NBA history. Conversely, I now feel completely and utterly isolated from the MyCareer experience. I have no interest in shelling out additional cash (even beyond the expensive Michael Jordan Edition) or grind for insane hours just to be able to compete on the online court, and the density of The City and its shopping opportunities is lost on me for the same reason. Instead, I’ll take my metaphorical basketball and go home, where I can enjoy the parts of NBA 2K23 that I can fully experience without the repugnant emphasis of its microtransactions. ====================== While I can't quite endorse Jurassic World Evolution 2 as a robust park management sim, the area where it puts its main focus – the dinosaurs! – is engaging. Being able to hop into a tour looping around the raptor enclosure or taking direct control of a ranger team rushing to stop a catastrophic escape attempt during a raging storm creates a lot of the exact, awesome moments I want out of a modern Jurassic Park game. Especially compared to its frustratingly shallow predecessor, Jurassic World Evolution 2, uh, found a way. ====================== Trek to Yomi is a brief but captivating journey that’s like playing through a monochromatic Japanese movie, and that excellent presentation is enough to carry it even though it falls short in most other respects. Combat is one-note and easily mastered, and exploration and puzzles don’t have much to offer aside from a fleeting distraction. Thankfully, its relatively brief story was one that still drew me in enough to absolutely feel worth my time.

Popular Post Abby_TheLastofUs Posted May 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2023 I was wondering why June's games didn't get leaked. I guess the leaker didn't think they were worth leaking. I may have spoken too soon about last month's lineup been one of the most unpopular ever. I think this lineup is going to go over even worse. ? Last month's lineup didn't have a lot of appeal, but the games were generally considered good. Not sure most people would say the same about June's lineup besides Trek to Yomi, which is an indie that I hope people give a chance. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiCBZ Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Trek to Yomi seems interesting, I may pick it up in the future, maybe when I get a Ps5, while I am not interested in the other two games. Solid line up through; I am sure NBA 2K will please a lot of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeBEST2099 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 geez... this is some dissapointing lineup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk_lp_him Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I barf when I see a sports game on plus, but this is one of those casino games that has a sport bundled with it. I might add Jurassic World but this one has 15 dlcs and I suck at economic strategies so I'll easily go bankrupt. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatMuttGuy Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Jurassic World Evolution 2 might be cool if it included all the DLC, but you'd end up spending way too much to get all the trophies. Definitely not a good lineup imo, but they can't all be winners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb5f Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 NBA 2K23 is a fantastic game (I already own it). And I’m definitely interested in Trek to Yomi. Very good month. One of the better I can remember honestly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordguwa Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) looks to be 2 possible game candidates that i would play in the future: trek and world. not so much nba not a fan of that (no offense to anybody who loves sport games). sales can make up for a bad month as usual.

ZenaxPure Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Yeah, seeing a sports title on the lineup never gets me excited (though plenty of people play them so I get why Sony adds them), but I was gonna buy Jurassic World at some point anyway so I am happy about that. Also Trek to Yomi is the exact kind of game I'd probably never spend money on but would play it for "free" so that's a fine addition for me.

GUDGER666 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I mean it could be worse, they didn't double dip ?. NBA I would probably play for an hour an never again. Building games I find to be extremely boring. But Trek to Yomi it's what's saved it from being another crap month, looks good. It can't possibly be any worse than last month for PS4 anyway as this should be 3 fully functional games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post willmill97 Posted May 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2023 More sports games? Jesus christ. If you're not already interested in basketball you're not going to want NBA, wish they would stop doing this. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIOTREK27-1982 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) They are adding poor man's Ghost of Tsushima, i see. Very weak month. More interested in Premium line up and Last chance to play games. Edited May 31, 2023 by PIOTREK27-1982 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthegrave07 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Trek to Yomi looks interesting, but this is a pretty underwhelming lineup. Then again, any time there's a sports game that is not GT headlining the month, it's a bad month imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilantCrow Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) Best month of the year and solely because of Jurassic Park. Finally a game that requires rubbing two brain cells together. Edited May 31, 2023 by VigilantCrow 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two games are of no interest to me but Jurassic Park will always get my attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helyx Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Trek to Yomi looks great. Jurassic World Evolution 2 has DLC trophies (probably paid?), so not gonna waste my time. Guess I can always grab NBA 2K23 and spank @grimydawg___. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadaik Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 What's up with everybody? This is a pretty good line-up! A park builder (rare genre on Plus), a good indie title (Plus always is a good source for these), and a sports game (not a fan of the genre, but seems to be a good one). Yeah, JW Evolution 2 is too greedy on the DLCs, but the base game is still good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
