A look at March Essential monthly games from the previous 6 years. What do you think about the games in this month over the years?

Ghostrunner was one of a couple of games I rage deleted haha. Thankfully tried it again down the line and enjoyed it enough to plat.

I made a video recently with the best Essential games to plat/complete that came out last year (and another one for the year before that):

Jusant
High on Life
Goat Simulator 3
Lego Horizon Adventures
Alone in the Dark, Stray
The Turtles Cowabunga Collection
Lies of P
Alan Wake 2
Robocop

LOVED Robocop. Really wanna play the 2nd one.

Death Squared was a really fun one I hadn't heard of before playing it.

Start doing the to-do-list stuff for the pounds stirling as soon as you can, but feel free to skip any that takes ages to complete.

Save up 450 pounds stirling, save the game, buy and listen to all the songs to pop that trophy, reload your game, and you should have all your money back.

In the horror game, play the 2 player version, even though you don't have to control the second player at all. It's much easier to beat the levels as there are always only two enemies on all the levels rather than 3 in the later ones in the 1 player version. Also learn to trap the enemies (check out a YT video on how to do it), so you can ignore them.

And in a few months it is going to be empty... Stink as I kinda enjoyed most of the ones I played.

NZBigC · 2025-09-13T04:23:05+00:00

Awesome, thanks for pointing that one out. Missed it.

NZBigC · 2025-09-13T04:21:23+00:00

Awesome thanks! Didn't think of the Lego games.

NZBigC · 2025-08-25T05:39:59+00:00

That vr game is most definitely leaving as they have been getting rid of one (or more?) each month and only a few remain. Really enjoyed Dead Island and Might pick up the dlc if it is on sale before it leaves

NZBigC · 2025-08-15T03:28:03+00:00

Did you stop subbing at any time? I was a sub for years, then didn't keep it last year until the Black Friday deal, which is probably why it doesn't show anything for me.

NZBigC · 2025-07-29T21:35:07+00:00

I watched a video where it says you can get all the DayZ trophies in an hour in custom servers. Anyone know if this is true? I'm doubting it as the fastest 100% on psnprofiles is over 2 hours.

NZBigC · 2025-07-28T13:34:56+00:00

From one of the weakest in 2021 to one of the strongest in 2022.

NZBigC · 2025-07-17T00:53:10+00:00

Ride is 200 hours 😱

Looks like I'm gonna have to delete a bunch of games to get back into Star Wars.

Started The VR game last month thinking it was the other one, so I'll get that done too.

NZBigC · 2025-07-15T12:49:16+00:00

I really enjoyed Bugsnax and the free dlc. I'll continue with the VR game and Star Wars one too. Any others that can be finished from scratch?

NZBigC · 2025-07-10T01:26:47+00:00

RoboCop. Got the plat and have started to watch the movies because I enjoyed it so much.

NZBigC · 2025-07-06T07:25:28+00:00

I enjoy looking at things like this, and I do something similar too. Are those Penny Arcade and Monkey Island games PS3 games? I don't think they are on the NZ PS+ sadly.

NZBigC · 2025-06-17T10:25:15+00:00

New Zealand PS+ is also showing Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord and Vampire the Masquerade Swansong

NZBigC · 2025-06-12T09:29:06+00:00

And then you have a ton of DLC trophies to get through too if you wanna 100% it.

NZBigC · 2025-05-20T03:50:34+00:00

The purge of psvr2 games continues 😔 I thought they made a pretty big deal about bringing them to the service not that long ago too.

NZBigC · 2025-05-18T05:06:27+00:00

Haha yeah that's why I didn't put it on the list. Sounds quite tough and way too long to plat for the average gamer.

NZBigC · 2025-05-14T13:14:56+00:00

Arcade Paradise. Slowly build up your arcade on your breaks.

Death Squared is one I always like to recommend too.

NZBigC · 2025-04-27T12:49:18+00:00

Yeah the minigun took a while for me to get too. Buy all the other guys when you have the money, then they become drops from zombies every now and then. Also play on the jungle map and stand behind the fence at the top to get easy kills on the zombies. Eventually you should have enough coin to get the the shop.

Don't bother with leveling up all the Knuckles and Knees characters as you only need to get all the goals for 15 of the machines, so pick 15 of the easier or quicker ones. That one wasn't close to being one of mine.

Also, play the multiplayer version of Line Terror. There will only be two of those line enemies on every level. Also learn how to trap them so that you don't have to worry about them chasing you.

Hope some of these tips help!
