Descenders | PS4 ​

Descenders is a fast-paced extreme downhill biking game that’s easy to pick up, but difficult to master, featuring an in-depth physics system that lets you control every subtle movement of your rider. Take on different jumps, slopes and hillbombs every time you play with procedurally generated levels. Earn special mutators each time you play, and work out which abilities work best for your riding style and earn new bikes and threads as you build your online Rep system.

Chivalry 2, that's awesome!

Descenders is wonderful but I wish it would have received a native PS5 port.

If you miss arcade extreme sports games of old (think downhill domination), this might scratch your itch. While it is far less over the top than the titles that EA Big used to offer, it has a great sense of speed and fairly deep trick system. It uses rogue style runs so every track you face is different and has a neat little soundtrack to boot.

I hope the CMA blocks this and makes them include something better. Is Uncharted Remake (PS5) version so much to ask for?

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Last two months were really good, but this one looks like crap so far.

 

[SEGA_2012]

Nothing for me.

 

[adamsapple]

Grid Legends is a'ight.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I know almost nothing about all of these. Guess I'll try them.

 

[Filthy Casual]

Chivalry 2 is great fun, one of my most played games on PS5. Technically great and the gameplay is super fun! Do yourself a favour and go and chop some heads off, folks.

 

[Fbh]

Might try Chivalry.
But overall weak month

 

[shaddam]

I heard chivalry is great, but I will rather work on my backlog I think

 

[Aion002]

That's awesome. I already bought those games, but still... Great games!

I should stop buying games...

 

[Ansphn]

Horrible month lmao

 

[ClanOfNone]

Is Chivalry single player or is it just a mp title?

 

[skit_data]

That’s a first!
I have literally zero experience/knowledge about any one of these games, so I can’t really speak on wether it’s a good or bad month.

My only experience with the Grid franchise was buying it dirt cheap on PS3, being disappointed it had no tuning/customization and never playing it again.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Grid legends nice, I wanted this one actually.

 

[TVexperto]

Chivalry 2 is also getting cross-partying next patch which will be awesome to team up with PC players

 

[Portugeezer]

Nice.

 

[Mossybrew]

Bleh. Though I don't know anything about Chivalry, maybe some fun to be had there?

 

[R6Rider]

Chivalry is hilarious with friends. Will give Grid Legends a try for sure.

Not really interest in Descenders, but might as well try that too.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Definitely nothing for me this month

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Other games to play in May anyway

 

[22•22]

Wow great month

 

[Putonahappyface]

Might give Chivalry 2 a go.

 

[Esca]

Wanted to try grid. Chivalry 2 should be good fun, I enjoyed the first one running around swinging seasons and screaming lol

 

[R6Rider]

Didn't realize how highly rated Descenders was. Watched some videos and it look super fun, especially messing around with friends.

 

[Nautilus]

Thank god, a bad month. I already have too much to play right now.

If one of you (or somebody else) doesn't mind answering, how many friends can you enter the game with? I'm not wondering how many people are on each team, as that info is easy to find. I'm just wondering how many are allowed in your specific squad, or whatever they call players who are grouped together. Anyone know?

 

[Mayor_McCheeze]

Looks like a fun month. Wasn’t feeling Tails of Iron or Meet Your Maker this current month.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Poor month for my tastes. Hoping the next batch of catalogue games is better.

Still, massive backlog of games so I can’t complain too much.

 

[Thief1987]

I had an urge to get month of EAPlay to play Grid, so it will save me 5$.

 

[RoadHazard]

Meh for me, but the last few months (of both Extra and Essential) have been way too good, I'm hopelessly behind on everything I would like to try.

 

[[Sigma]]

Nothing really for me and even there were, I likely still wouldn't play it knowing how I am with monthly free games. I tend to not play them when I still have games that I bought that I need to play. Last time I played a monthly game was like in January of 2022, I think that was Dirt 5 because I was really in the mood for a racing game to play since I really hadn't been into one since I stopped playing Driveclub years ago.

 

[Damigos]

Wasnt Descenders available with game catalogue ? Why do we get it again ?

 

[drotahorror]

Descenders is so good.

 

[R6Rider]

Last time I played (which was over a year ago now) it was 4 players to a party. I don't remember if you could join a match another way to be on the opposite team or to be in same game but different squad.

 

[Banjo64]

Descenders is mint.

For anyone who doesn’t know, the studio are hoping to announce their next game this year.

 

[dreamstation]

Uh, you still have it. Now us poor people on Essential can have it too. Not everything is about you

 

[Skifi28]

Grid Legends has some of the worst dualsense / vibration support I've ever seen in a racing game. I had to check to see if my controller was broken but nope, it was the game.
