now playing: Rime (2017)
Dec. 31st, 2024 10:48 pmI have PS+, but only the basic tier. One of the reasons for this is peace of mind for cloud saves - and the convenience of uploading said saves for the times I was regularly still able to go to my parents' house for my PS4 there. The original reason was that it was required to play Overwatch before it went f2p, but there's also three free monthly games that you get to keep forever with an active subscription.
After seven years I've accrued a lot of random games in my library (I save most of them if they vaguely pique my interest). Especially the indie games. You never know when you'll want something much shorter to play... or when it's Christmas and you don't want to be in XIV hubs and you're scrolling through your library for something that appeals and in this instance, I picked Rime.

The only thing I knew about Rime was rough duration to get the platinum (8 hours). I usually check on psnprofiles to see how difficult it is to do and if there are walkthroughs - undoubtedly I'll need one at some point if not immediately. The guide encouraged me to play it blind, so I did.
