PlayStation Plus releases so many free games, subscribers are unable to keep up
Is anyone else drowning under their game backlog? I have a ridiculous backlog of games to play, despite having just completed the Persona5 Royal.
It’s also not helped by the quality of recent freebies on PlayStation Plus. Every month, we are not only faced with Essential-tier titles but also a huge amount of content via the Premium and Extra game catalogs. NEO: The World Ends with You and Horizon Forbidden West are recent highlights of subscribers to these higher tiers.
Reddit users have confessed that there are so many new games that they can’t decide what to play. Relatable.
“With so many choices, is it difficult to pick a single game and play it consistently?” 82brighteyes replied. I think it’s especially hard for gamers who are older, like me and have to spend their savings on one single game. This one game will be your main focus. Then, I try something new. The same thing happens with Netflix. “The last game that I finished was the Final Fantasy VIII Remake.”
Other people feel the same way: “Yup[.] The excessive amount of stuff available in this consumption-based culture makes you suffer, I miss the days when I would buy one PS2 game and grind it out for a few months [and] then replay it, but now I have like 30 unfinished games and I don’t know which to play,” commented Breadsticks lover. “Absolutely. It’s not possible to play every game I like. It’s only a half hour at a time and I’m not sure what I want to do. I usually end up hating myself after playing CoD two rounds,” wrote.
In the end, however, it’s a good thing to be able to play too many games. It’s possible to have worse things.
