AVclub: "I really dislike the term “walking simulator.” Maybe it is the best term to describe this brand of first-person adventure game, but it feels laden with condescension. "
Game streaming test underway; includes PS5 titles in the Game Catalog and digital PS5 titles that players own.

For Premium, I'm hoping they add Resistance Retribution (rated last year) and Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice (the first game was put on Premium last month) soon.
A lot of really good stuff on that list.
The thing I would say stands out is the variety, there are games from all genres literally from FPS shooters with Far Cry 6 to Visual Novel/Choose your own Adventure with Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York and games for all ages that even families with little kids can play, there are some great games parents can play with their kids.
Great game highly recommended.

Last month's recommendation was Sakuna Of Rice and Ruin

It's pretty cool they're having a whole campaign with the rollout of more cloud support.
If I'm reading it correctly they are even adding cloud support for digital games you own outside of PSPlus
We’re currently testing cloud streaming for supported PS5 games – this includes PS5 titles from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Game Trials, ------>as well as supported digital PS5 titles that players own <-------
No, but if I had access to my ps3 library via cloud I would be happy.
I'm surprised sony doesn't offer that as a solution to BC for purchased ps3 digital games.
The Humble Holiday in Space Bundle just launched today. It features games like Breathedge, Moons of Madness, Tacoma, Avicii Invector, and more. As usual, you pay what you want. A percentage goes to support charity.

Hoo-rah! As with most genre lists, there’s some controversy about what does or doesn’t constitute a walking simulator. Dialogue and navigation is preferred over puzzles and more intensive interaction like combat or QTEs. Jumping/crouching is positively frowned upon. Strap on your hiking boots and let’s ramble!"
They could call it simulated walking.
Sight-seeing games? Non-gameplay games?
"low effort" better?
