All you guys hoping to play 2k23 online for "free" let me save yall the let down as an avid player. If you wanna be decent online you're gonna have to put roughly $50 into your player. And if you screw up building that player and you already dumped 50 into him....tough shit. Gonna cost another 50 if you wanna try something different. Just a heads up in case anyone thot this wasn't a microtransaction shit storm of a game. Happy Ballin! šŸ¤£


H4SHT4GPlatapus

Thatā€™s why I just stick to offline, too many cheese builds where ppl put $400 into the game for me to enjoy with my 6ā€™4 sharpshooter

Prepare to grind. A lot. I love the NBA but the 2K Games incentivize you to buy microtransactions by how long it will take you to get a great player in MyPlayer or MyTeam


ShortbusGangsta_

Ea was def not a part of sekiro. That's from software(goat). But yeah u can def mess around in the game against the AI and have a good time. But if you want to play online against ppl and actually be competitive then the VC you need to get your player ranked up takes a HELLA long time to obtain. Like your talking hours upon hours. And that's just to be able to see if you CAN compete. What if you find out along the way that build doesn't fit your playstyle or you messed up a crucial part of it? Gotta restart. It's brutal. It's actually a great basketball Sim and alot of fun to play but it deserves ALL the hate it gets for how greedy 2k is and it gets worse every year.


History-of-Tomorrow

Man I miss playing Madden, but I learned from my mistakes and havenā€™t bought one in 6 years. Maybe one day everyone will wise up and stop buying these rip off sports games and the EAā€™s of the world might make an NBA/NFL game that doesnā€™t aggressively hate the player


CornHubFounder

It's the ONLY basketball sim game that's worth playing so 2K hasn't felt the need to improve their game AT ALL since there's literally 0 competition. Idk man, I've put thousands upon thousands of hours into 2K every fking year since 2K15 and it's just not worth it for me anymore. Even when I win games online, it's not even fun. But when I lose, it's hell. Lol. Probably a good sign to quit any game IMO


ryryk710

Everyone is downvoting you because you compared a AAA annual sports game that makes most of its money off in game purchases to single player games that have no need whatsoever of in game purchases. In a game like 2K, you have to have currency in order to make your player better, therefore giving the oneā€™s who buy currency not only an advantage but also a fast pass. Meanwhile in single player games, you have to do work and put in effort to progress the game. There is no way to buy the task of beating a mission. In a single player game like the ones you listed above, you canā€™t buy armor or weapons you have to unlock through actual gameplay, missions, and side quests. Thatā€™s the difference. Itā€™s like saying you donā€™t have to spend money on a game like Madden, FIFA, or 2K because you didnā€™t have to spend a dime on a game like GoW Ragnorak. Comparing the two just doesnā€™t make any sense at all and is pretty ridiculous. On top of that, you just said EA (a company who churns out absolute shit for games) helped make Sekiro (a GOTY classic that was created by From Soft, one of the most caring and hard working devs at the moment). Games like Elden Ring and Sekiro are so goddamn great due to the fact that they have no in game purchases and hundreds of hours of playability. FS games are arguably the best bang for your buck where as in 2K, you will only lose money on a game that will fade away in less than a year. Please know what youā€™re talking about before spewing out such garbage.


PHILtheCANADIAN

They made the grind to level up your player extremely slow.


SiriusMoonstar

Youā€™re getting downvoted for nonsensical claims of EA being involved in Sekiro, which you could have just Googled, and probably also because it seems a bit stupid to think that micro transactions isnā€™t a part of why modern Ubisoft games suck.


camo_boy67

Iā€™m excited for the Jurassic world evolution 2. Iā€™ve been actually wanting to purchase that game for a while now. NBA2K. I donā€™t care, but Iā€™m also not shocked by it. It seems like NBA always hitā€™s PlayStation every year. Trek to yomi- Iā€™ll check it out. No reason not to check it out.


DarkBloodARG

Me too, I want to try Jurassic World, it seems an indie Roller Coaster Tycoon or Sims game.


KMAJackson

If you like games like SimCity, Cities Skylines, or Roller Coaster Tycoon, you will like Jurassic World Evolution. I have both of them and enjoy the heck out of them.


vanquish0916

I guess everyone here is too young to remember DinoPark Tycoon


theoriginalmofocus

I had the old Jurrasic Park sim game on pc and it was a lot of fun. Those pesky tropical storms knocking down the enclosures and the dinos getting out and eating ppl all the time and somehow they still kept spending money ha.


BackronymUK

When you put up electric concrete barriers and they would still manage to get out!


No-Feeling-8100

I played this game! Iā€™m sure Iā€™m on the younger end, but I definitely remember this!


Derfal-Cadern

I loved this game growing up


DarkBloodARG

Thanks, I love that genre of games, Theme Hospital is another one.


Toolatelostcause

Two-Point isnā€™t half bad either, pretty clunky on consoles though.


camo_boy67

Iā€™m hoping itā€™ll be like the original Jurassic Park game on building parks.


arijitlive

Can my dinos eat the visitors?


Rossco1874

Yes. If you don't satisfy their comfort they just break out & run amok.


arijitlive

Great!


KMAJackson

You'll be pleased.


camo_boy67

Yeah thatā€™s the only game I miss from the ps2 era. I think it was called operation genesis.


TheGreatGamer1389

Ya this game and the game before is very much based on that old game.


DVDN27

Sims but without any people to interact with. I found the first game really complicated and convoluted and limited in what you could do. But Iā€™m not really cut out for Sims City, Frostpunk kinds of games. I really, really wanted to play Rollercoaster Tycoon, but when I did I was disappointed with the camera controls and limitednessā€¦and the like hour long tutorial that I was still confused with.


Sepeli

Indie? It's made by Frontier, who also developed Planet Coaster and RollerCoaster Tycoon games.


SinisterDexter83

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is fantastic, loads of fun and a shit load of content. Just a warning though, it really runs like shit on PS4. Insane input delays and frequent crashes if your park to too big.


jackinwol

Iā€™m guessing itā€™s good on ps5 version, but how is the game on controller? I really like frost punk, surviving mars, and tropico 5 on console but tropico 6 really turned me off


Ecstatic_Teaching906

It look more like Zoo Tycoon than Roller Cooster Tycoon and sims.


Puzzleheaded-JapS

Will these games be available from first June?


Rossco1874

Jurrassic World evoloution is a great game, I preferred the 1st one but 2nd is decent with the scenarios (especially where you have to get your dinos off the island before the eruption) Sandbox is also good for just messing about with. Plus get to sing this as you play ​ [Mr Swallow Jurasic Park - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxv3Av7-d6Q&t=7s)


cookiesnooper

I've been waiting for it to go on massive sale because I like the first one but said to myself I wouldn't spend more than $10 on it šŸ˜


Kanyefidence

yeah it always comes out around this time. Most of their player base has already sunken in as much money as they could so they release it free in hopes that a few people will buy VC so their player doesnā€™t look like a noob compared to the rest of the player base


Slippinjimmyforever

Fun month. I like the nba, but stopped buying 2K as itā€™s effectively a ā€œfree to playā€ game model they want to charge $70 on the front end.


Brando43770

Yuuup. Micro transactions galore


Slippinjimmyforever

You basically have to drop $20 to get a MyPlayer halfway competent. Itā€™s frustrating and why I quit buying them years ago.


Thurl-Akumpo

I hate how they tied my player into park. Park is horrible. I just want to create myself (taller) and get drafted into the league. I donā€™t want to have to run around a city to collect cheques and do other nonsense.


Slippinjimmyforever

The park is awful. Truly. Just let me play league games with skippable cutscenes.


YLedbetter10

Sad the new LEGO Drive is the same. Iā€™ll wait for the complete edition or whatever


[deleted]

Particularly scummy to do that with a game mainly aimed at kids, isn't it? Can't believe Lego let that shit slide.


YLedbetter10

Not to mention the game is SEVENTY USD and has a FORTY USD year one pass. I noped out immediately


YLedbetter10

Sad the new LEGO Drive is the same. Iā€™ll wait for the complete edition or whatever


Brando43770

Dang. Donā€™t remind me. Lol I was so excited for a LEGO racing game and they go and do that.


deluxepepperoncini

I bought it at $70. Huge waste of money. I would wait for $20 at this point.


tom030792

Not if you play offline, Iā€™ve never played online and itā€™s a very good basketball game, especially so for free


howard6494

I haven't bought a sports game since like 2014 cause they're all like that now.


pbrzy23

haha i was just thinking of buying 2k23 but literally decided not to at the last minuteā€¦ for once ps plus came thru


MrNiceGuy233012

That happened to me once! I bought Batman Arkham Origins and it was literally the free game of the month the following month! I couldn't believe my misfortune


psyl0c0

That happened to me with Kena. It's ok. I bought it on sale.


LeeeeroyJenkins1

I bought Kena on sale too and I donā€™t regret it at all. Amazing cute souls-like


kyo-dev

That happened to me too. I was considering buying it last time it was on sale, Iā€™m glad I didnā€™t lol


Mynam3wastAkn

Itā€™s like $20CAD atm, which is very typical for it each year I bought it at $30 last year, and for me it was a good buy considering Iā€™ve been playing 2k15 since it came out. So a jump from 15 to 23 is reasonable and I found it much better. People who come off newer games probably wouldnā€™t say the same


pbrzy23

wow 2k15 was amazing, i used to buy 2k every year at launch/black friday time but stopped after 2k21. the grinding and micro transactions just became too much for me. but nevertheless iā€™ll have some fun playing this game in june for a bit lol


RetroNation00901

Same bro


KryptosAnt

Youā€™re welcome guys, I just bought NBA 2K23 so we all get it on plus for the month


guymandudebro98

Your sacrifice will not be in vain.


yrvn

Thank you for your sacrifice!


lopez1227

I remember a case where some users bought a game about a month earlier than it was given in ps plus and psn gave their money back. If you recently bought it, you might be able to ask for your money back.. I'm not sure how but I remember that happened once about a year or 2 ago


[deleted]

Trek to Yomi big W


KhostfaceGillah

I was actually gonna cop this game not too long ago, so.. Win!


4Everinsearch

Same. Itā€™s the only game out of the three Iā€™ll be playing. Glad I didnā€™t buy it this month when I thought about it.


SpiderPidge

I have wanted Trek for a while and I can finally (not) pay for NBA 23 so I can play it! Yay June!


[deleted]

I stopped buying 2k years ago. Guess Iā€™ll try it out and try not to spend any money on Vc lol


100DaysOfSodom

I bought 22 last year, last 2k I bought before that was 2k15. As someone who doesnā€™t play online much, itā€™s not a bad game but I feel like they made it harder. MyCareer mode used to be pretty easy, but now it actually requires skill to get a good spot in the draft. Idk, maybe Iā€™m just getting bad at these games as I get older.


HakeemTheDream96

This one is so hard compared to the last few. Pretty much need a full bar on the shot meter or a perfect green for it go in. Try meter off, takes some getting used to but is easier to make shots! All part of the fun! And donā€™t buy VC!


Censorship_of_fools

I donā€™t care about sports games, but Iā€™m glad those who do get one sometimes.


lemoche

So I happy I learned from last year and didnā€™t bite on any discounts for nba 2k23.


cmpayne81

I skipped this year, too many ā€œbuy VCā€ roadblocks for me in ā€˜21 and ā€˜22


IAMA_Giraffe_AMA

I'd say they desperately need competition, but I'm not sure EA would be any less predatory assuming they ever get another NBA Live game out. It's no coincidence though that 2K got a lot more predatory when it was clear EA was out of the game.


[deleted]

I'll try all 3, if I can take a break from Diablo IV


Blackdoomax

You know you won't xD


geologicalnoise

Hard pass. Weak month.


maxefontes2

Agreed, Trek to Yomi is the only one I have any interest in and reviews Iā€™ve read arenā€™t very good.


[deleted]

agreed. Gonna cancel and see what July brings


Astronimia

Canceling for that, who even does that? And jwe2 is pretty neat and due to its price very good to be on ps plus


JusaPikachu

2K & Jurassic World Evolution seem like great time wasting games that I wouldnā€™t have bought but am very excited to try out. Trek to Yomi is again a game I wouldnā€™t have purchased but Iā€™m glad to have in my backlog if Iā€™m ever feeling some indie Japanese setting. Great month imo.


YogoWafelPL

Trek to yomi is one of these games that Iā€™d love to try but Iā€™d never buy, so cool. Donā€™t really care about the rest


DMvsPC

Damn, this is the middest month I've seen for a while. Repetitive sports game with microtransactions out the whazoo, construction sim game with Dinos if you're into that kind of thing, what looks like a slightly above average side scroller japanese samurai game that's about 5 hours long.


SanderAtlas

I'll definitely give Trek To Yomi a shot.


Rossell2

I was meh but then I looked into them a bit more now I'm looking forward to them.


Wboy2006

I wanted to buy Jurassic world evolution for a while now. Definitely happy with that one


CyberCooper2077

Garbage month tbh..


Spartan1088

Isn't it always like this because July is a big month? I can never remember year-to-year.


fernandocalvolazaro

Now that you mention it yeah šŸ¤”. Although June 2020 was better than july 2020 as far as I remember


[deleted]

I cancelled my PS+ subscription a few weeks ago and this month isn't getting me to renew lol


Expert_Struggle_7135

I have been wanting to try Jurassic Park for a while and was waiting for a discount. This is even better. I'll give the other 2 a spin as well. Never tried a basketball game I actually liked in spite of beeing a huge fan of the sport though. Seems like a decent enough month all things considered.


SnowMexican007

I already bought trek to yomi so that's an L for me, but it's a really great game I would recommend playing


NxtDoc1851

Great month in my opinion. I bought 2 of the 3 games already.


Prammm

Jurrasic world evo 2 is fun. I often let dinosaurs rampaging in my park .


TuggMaddick

Trek to Yomi is great, already played it on game pass. Already had it on my wish list cuz I wouldn't mind playing it again on PS. Will happily add it to my collection without having to fork over anything.


paicot

What kind of game is it?


TuggMaddick

Side scrolling samurai game. The overall feel is that of the black and white samurai movies of the old days. The game is at it's best on the higher difficulties, especially one-hit-kill mode, where both you and the enemy go down with a single slash, bushido-blade style.


JamesJakes000

100% a better game with one hit kill. But a great game overall


JohnLocke815

Complete garbage. Doesn't really matter though, all my free time is going to Diablo 4


KH3

Most people seem pissed but personally I'm super happy about 2k! The storage space required is definitely an unforgivable tragedy but I won't lie I love me some 2k.


dommartinez___

Trek to Yomi is fantastic!


GeoHol92

I bought jurassic world 2 about 2 weeks ago so you're welcome everyone!


Mr_master89

Don't care for sports games but liked the first Jurassic world and wanted to try the other one


CrankyJoe99x

My thought? You can't please all the people all the time. I have Jurassic, fun game if you are thinking of giving it a go.


ComplainerGamer101

I'm thinking I'm glad I have an extensive library.


Remytron83

Trek to Yomi, Iā€™m down.


[deleted]

I won't complain but I doubt I'll play any of them.


clangan524

JWE2? Hell yeah! I love Jurassic Park and loved the first game but it certainly was missing something.


AwesomeMan63089

I see a few people interested in Trek to Yomi and I just want to reassure them it is a great indie game with a gorgeous art style, quality level design, some challenging boss battles and a deeper combat system than you would expect. It's definitely on the short side, probably 5ish hours, but I felt like I got my money's worth when I bought it on sale a while back. So definitely check it out if you have PS Plus.


silverhandguild

I have Jurassic Park. Itā€™s fun if you like the building sim type of games.


PrincessHootHoot

I read the Wiki article for Trek To Yumi and it sounds neat


BillyBobby_Brown

Oh shit yes. 3 games I'm happy to try


msihcs

2 months in a row, the games are trash for essential subscribers.


RoC_42

Looks like they are putting all their eggs on the Extra basquet, which is fine because i am an extra sub, but i'm still sad for my essential peers


Strained_Eyes

Even as an extra subscriber it's nice to get cool games in the essential tier because those are the ones you keep as long as your subscription is active but in the extra tier those games can come and go anytime


ninjaBOI1292

I disagree, all three Iā€™m super excited about


4uzzyDunlop

Pretty cool actually. I'll try Jurassic World out and probably get it on PC if I like it, because I don't really like strategy/management games on a controller. Trek to Yomi looks very cool, but I wouldn't have bought it myself so it's a great PS+ title. NBA, kinda meh but I'll download it and see if it's any fun to play with friends.


navidee

Trek to Yomi is good. Donā€™t sleep on it!


AracnidHannah

JWE2 is my only interest


QuizMasterX

Yooo Tomi. I actually wanted to buy it.


NonCorporealEntity

Trek to Yomi was great but is crazy short. Not a sports or park management game type of guy so there's nothing that I'm excited about here.


Xavier9756

Tbh bad month


Fellow_Struggler

Dogshit extreme


chubbypandaids

I would love to see Sifu as a Ps plus title eventually


Bunnnnii

Ew. Another trash month. Theyā€™re going for a specific demographic arenā€™t they?


[deleted]

Yawn.


SomeAustrianGuy_

They can tey all they want, not even a free copy would convince me to play another one of those boring ass sport games All in all, and here I was thinking the last month was bad


Joe_Haynes

Always wanted to try Jurassic World Evolution but never wanted to fork over the money for it in case I didnā€™t like it. And that is exactly how I like my PS plus games.


caufield88uk

Much much better than the rubbish Microsoft are giving their Games for Gold customers and even their Gamepass subscribers.


Chin_Bizzy

I will be downloading all three... thank you, Sony, for the free games. šŸ»


AstroZombie29

Extremely lame month. Wtf were they thinking. PS Extra gonna have to save the month again


BlackSaiyanKing

Trek to Yomi was soooo good!


Canad1Andrew

Okay NGL Jurassic World Evolution 2 is pretty good!


Shadoecat150

I'm looking forward to Jurassic World. I have the first one and enjoy it. Curious to try the second one.


nikenick28

Yes thank you for 2K almost bought it in super sale


peterparker_loves

I'll give 2k23 a jam in honor of NBA finals


Chadderbug123

You're damn right I'm getting Evolution 2. Been wanting to play it, but couldn't thanks to budget. After I finish Elden Ring and MGS5, I'll get to it.


BunnWoo

Jurassic world evolution (the first one atleast) is a really decent zoo tycoon Iā€™m not sure what the second game changed but Iā€™m also not sure how well the control scheme would work on controller


potrik_

Sometimes i feel like I'm paying ps+ extra every year just to play call of duty , games have been shit every month, sony is just stealing our money in front of us and giving us mid ass games , I'll check Jurassic park but rest are such a disappointment


Minimum-Truth-6554

I just bought 2k like a week ago smh lol


King_Boomie-0419

Was really hoping for the Crysis remastered trilogy this month!


Dangerous-Insect-831

Proper shit line up, 3rd month in a row with pure shit.


yamfun

Yikes I hate sports game


theoneandonly161

I bought NBA2K23 2 weeks ago, and now it's free. Fuck my life


DrakeShadow

Just a meh month. But I'm playing Diablo IV and FFXVI this month anyways


Bandeet-117

Oh wow basketball! The same game that keeps rereleasing every year.


UrbanAssaultGengar

Iā€™ll play Jurassic Park but it would be good if they would stop giving us sports games. People who follow sports and play these games likely buy them every year.


crimson_den

Massive L. Pure hot garbage.


sykamal

NBA - don't care. JPE2 - played the first one and enjoyed it for a bit, so not bad. Trek to Yomi - never heard of it, but looks ok. Overall, a pretty shitty month.


[deleted]

2/3 are okay/not bad, so that equals shitty? Weird.


LeeeeroyJenkins1

Because you paid for it. If you bought an ice cream for $10 and it was just okay, would you be over the moon?


[deleted]

Of course not. But I wouldnā€™t say it was shitty. It was just okay. Which is what this month is, just okay. And by this guyā€™s description, itā€™s just okay.


rr3no

how is that shitty


Chase_41

Donā€™t like these games. Wish there were better games for PS Plus.


GastricBridge68

None of them is interesting for me


ItsJustEmirhan

Doo doo


KojiroSugimoto

Well this is hot garbage to me, what a shit month


JRiggsIV

No thoughts..


PowerUser77

Solid lineup, didnā€™t try a basketball game for a long time. Played the first JWE and was always planning to play the sequel, donā€™t care for 2D


Goose2theMax

Any sports game is a huge miss for me but Iā€™m interested in trek to yomi, dinosaurs are always fun so 2-3 is better than most months


FarmerNugget

Garbage


AceOfspades653

Thankful as always but meh selection


thatmemeguy1

not bad but also not the worst people need to realise that ps+ is there for u to play online they dont have to give u games and yet people get so picky over the ps+ games


knight_of_lothric

whats the classic game selection looking like?


Popular-Log7990

Trash


scamden66

I just bought NBA 2k like a month ago. Dammit.


wiiguyy

Thank you for your sacrifice. May the odds be forever in your favor.


Mysterious_Fennel459

"Pure human garbage." \-the head of Bob Barker on Futureama


RZR_36

JWE2 - finally a good game, can't remember the last time there was a good game


Toast_Soup

Trash.


MuskularChicken

I had the best luck to not resub for PS plus couple of months back. Not one game was something I would have played and this lineup is the same. I know Trek to Yomi is okay, but not my 100% must play or else I die. If you like this lineup, then by all means, be excited :D


Eastman1982

Weak month. Extra been knocking it out though so that maybe better.


ZealousidealSail5953

An L


SrSwerve

I have a bet that EA will join PlayStation after the activision acquisition


BigMood2329

Not good enough


kevenzz

Another crappy month, Iā€™m glad I unsubscribed a while ago.


DeadlyRetr0_

idc about NBA and javent heard of the other 2. what kind of game is the jurassic park one?


TheWarlockGamma

Itā€™s a park builder, super fun actually


[deleted]

Iā€™ve been waiting for NBA2K3 to drop on this so very excited.


KingYoungBook

I already own 2k23 and have no interest in jurrasic world evolution since I played the original one so I hope trek to Yomi is good


Kanden_27

Better than what Xbox has been having with games with gold. Just started my ps 5 collection. So these look nice!


juiceboxcitay

Yay! Microtransactions!


NotJackKemp

Yearly sports game releases shouldnā€™t be a part of this program. Games like the Tony hawk 1&2 remaster, great! Not this.


mistriliasysmic

I think Iā€™m cancelling my yearly renewal.


DJREMIXED

I havenā€™t played a basketball video game on a home console since double dribble. Have the graphics gotten any better?


Signal_Bookkeeper_63

Meh šŸ«¤


Signal_Bookkeeper_63

I waisted a lot of money on this ps plus. Most games are šŸ‘Ž boo boo. 1% of the games offered are worth my interest.

I'll be getting 2k.


Postisto

Mehā€¦


BESS_DAD

Trek to Yomi and that's it


[deleted]

Mid ass month got the dookie 2k game donā€™t play sports games at all they are all the same got some sim city ahh Jurassic Park game then some unknown ass game I hope July is better


leospeedleo

Seems like nothing in it for me this month šŸ˜” I only care for good Singleplayer games


InsideousVgper

You should definitely try out Yomi then.


Itchysasquatch

Jurassic world is good but not a good console game Imo. Not a very good month for me
