You can get a 1 month trial of game pass for pc for a $1 and play hi fi rush, and then I'd spend the money primarily on dead space for ps5 to enjoy its remake, as I saw you've already played the original. That's my suggestion at least

Still own my copy, technically it's my friends but I have it

I'd suggest a preowned good condition xbox series s or newer controller, as it has Bluetooth so you wouldn't need to by a dongle if you wanted to use wireless. That said, an older xbox controller will also be sufficient if wireless isn't something that bothers OP.

Also if OP does decide to fork out lots, a xbox elite 2 controller has fantastic battery, I charge mine once every 4 or 5 days. It has around 35-40 hours of battery life, downside is the battery can't be changed, but I've yet to have issues with mine and its 2 years old. Bluetooth on those controller does chew battery a bit more, and some people have issues with that, but alas, swings and roundabouts lol

I enjoyed playing the game and got about 3 hours in, went to play something else with friends. Came back like 6 months later after forgetting about it, had no idea wtf I was doing, so restarted the game, got about 4 hours in, made the awful mistake of going to play something with my friends again... Came back again a month later, same issue, uninstalled, went and got the audiobook and listened to that instead haha.

I must say the audiobook is actually fantastic, I could see all the locations I'd been to in the game in my head, and so when it got to the parts I hadn't got to, I could still vividly see it, and the whole thing was just a great experience. One day I'll go back and actually finish the game haha

I already felt old, but thanks for reminding me haha

This was me then minutes ago haha
