It is lean, fast and wholly distinct from its ancestors as well as its competition. If you like games where you can sneak around, or just want to lay waste to things in a world that have gone to custard; Dishonored’s Definitive Edition has you covered. It will make you want to strive for that perfect ghosting run or find continuously more sophisticated and creative ways of wiping your foes from the face of the earth with its unique palette of abilities and equipment. The story might depress you a tad, but you’ll be back to find ways to bend the game to your will soon enough. You simply must play this."

Riders republic. Nice. I never bought it but played beta twice. Good fun openworld game.
I have 3 other mates who like playing multiplayer games. Is this something we will all enjoy together?
It’s a really fun game when there’s a lot of people on but the player base dropped a lot compared to launch. This should help increase the amount online drastically.
It’s definitely a - I want to chill with my friends type of game so definitely check it out! Also it’s a huge improvement over Steep
Sounds good. Also, Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores DLC coming a day after. I'll be more likely spending time on that DLC first. But will join when free.
Riders Republic is a ton of fun and one of the best things Ubisoft has done in recent years IMO.
The music and acting are obnoxious, which I just turn down... but it's so much just freeriding mountain bikes or other stuff across the mountains. I haven't played w friends, but I imagine it would be a ton of fun in MP. Very underrated game!
I kept getting caught up in other games so I never got around to buying Doom Eternal. If it's good I'll still buy it so i can keep it. The reboot was awesome, i think i played through it about 5 times, and platinumed it.
Same here, I've had Doom Eternal on my wishlist for a long time. I'm definitely jumping in considering the free PS5 upgrade they released.
It is a lot of fun. First FPS in a while that has really grabbed me. And I love FPS games. C’mon Killzone/Resistance series remasters/remakes/sequels…anyt hing.
I agree , Sony has not produced a single player FPS campaign in about 8 years. I already played DOOM Eternal which was awesome.
A whole lotta Bethesda titles in this lineup
Sackboy also got included as well despite already being as Essential title
Regarding sackboy, you're right... That's confusing. At least wait until it's not in essential, as it's impossible to have extra without essential.
Damned if you do and damned if you don't with that one I think. When a former monthly free game goes into the subscription catalog at a later date it also gets criticism, so may as well just add it straight away for people who don't claim it going forward I guess.
Hopefully the claim on the game counts as a essentials claim so when the game leaves the catalogue it doesn't leave the players library.
I found a similar situation frustrating I played fallout 76 when it was introduced as a premium game a month or so later it was a essentials game and I could not repurchase it so I'll lose the game when it leaves the Library
Spiderman is in the titles leaving Extra in May. Guess 1st party titles aren't guaranteed to stay
That's just the way of subscription services in general, titles come and go, but I'm sure it'll be back. Maybe it's a Quantum Break deal where it's just a license refresh?
It's one of the reasons I fear a subscription/digital only future. I don't want the platforms telling me what I can and can't play at any given time and waiting of tenterhooks for games I actually want to be available.
Oh boy, that's making me want to jump back into Returnal! Not that I'd mind buying the game, love it.
Great Month, own most of them but looking fwd to trying monstor boy, nice sto have EW in my collection now and some wolfeinstein.
It’s a shame, really, that so few games have “borrowed” Dishonored’s Blink – in the right hands, such a power could be game-changing.
There was a small game called Aragami that “borrowed” the blink, that was a good game.
Unfortunately I heard the sequel wasn’t good so I stayed away from trying it out.
The sequel changed some of the mechanics from the first game but it was still a very polished and enjoyable experience. You should definitely give it a shot sometime. The game's currently on sale on Steam
Okay thanks for the heads up, will look out for it being on sale one day.
I really did like the first and played it back to back as soon as I finished the first play through.
Starting today, Dishonored Definitive Edition and Eximius: Seize the Frontline are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until January 5 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they're yours to keep.
