Our PlayStation Gift Guide
PS This is Awesome: Episode 355
This week, Fred’s diving deeper into Metro Awakening (now on Chapter 8), revisiting TLOU Part II on PS5, and exploring the depths of Darkest Dungeon 2. Jake finally conquered COD Black Ops 6 but is still spending quality time with Metaphor: ReFantazio and Half-Life: Alyx.
We’ve also put together a PlayStation gift guide just in time for the holidays. From consoles to accessories, PS Plus subscriptions, and even merch, we share plenty of ideas to make the gamers in your life smile—without breaking the bank.
In other news, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is getting fantastic early buzz, though PS5 players will have to wait a bit. We also speculate on what surprises might be in store at the Game Awards next week and share some thoughts on Black Ops 6 multiplayer going free for a week. Plus, Sony’s hinting at hand tracking for PSVR2, and there’s a free Gran Turismo 7 game that’s definitely worth checking out. Ubisoft, on the other hand, is shuttering XDefiant and processing refunds—a tough end for the game and its development team.
It’s a packed episode, so let’s get into it!
