I never played Grim Fandango, so I'll give that a shot I guess. Don't really like Double Fine though. I doubt I'll ever play Hardware.

Helldivers is good but I'm getting tired of PS+ games being games I bought on pc two weeks earlier. :argh:

I'll probably poke at Nom-Nom Galaxy and Nova though, which is more than I can say about last month's stuff.

No, they're all sidegrades for existing weapons and stratagems except the snow boots.

Full Lineup

Broforce, PS4

Galak-Z, PS4
The Last Guy, PS3
Reality Fighters, PS Vita
Super Stardust HD, PS3

Since I only own a ps4 this looks pretty good to me. At least I'll play Broforce; last few months have been pretty underwhelming for the PS4 stuff (though to be fair I already owned Helldivers).

I played First Light before Second Son. It's hard to go play as Delsin after, Fetch just plays and flows so well. First Light might actually be my favorite PS4 game.

I'd been wondering whether First Light was worth it, since it was just Neon powers, but I'm seriously giving it further thought.

While it's just Neon powers, it's a much more fleshed out and interesting moveset, with more to do than any particular power set in Second Son. It only has a handful of things in common with how it works for Delsin. The Arena mode is awesome too, and if you really want to you can play as a maxed out good or evil Delsin in there too.

I wouldn't normally do this, but seriously, don't bother with Aaru's Awakening. It's a terrible game.

Edit: On a side note, what's everyone's worst PS Plus game they've played? One that you turned on for 30 seconds...immediately went "gently caress this." and deleted.

Mine is Futurium EP Deluxe...one of the worst games I've ever played. Tabletop comes close but man....Futurium just sticks in my head as a game that was a complete was of bandwidth.

Either Futurium or Aaru's Awakening come close for worst. Super Exploding Zoo was pretty boring too. Shutshumi sucks and Woah Dave was fun for five minutes at least. Dragon Fin Soup seems like it'd be ok if I could muster the effort to play it. Limbo was bad too.

The actual worst is Ether One though. The game is just plain broken on PS4. Crashes, bugs, locks you out of poo poo, and it corrupted my save. It apparently works fine on PC, however. That soup game was pretty boring too.

quote:

Other honorable mentions for me: Hardware: Rivals, Contrast, Mousecraft, Entwined, Secret Ponchos, Stealth Inc. 2, Sound Shapes, Super Exploding Zoo, and Hohokum.

Hohokum and Sound Shapes are ok, neat for a little while, but not nearly as lovely as Mousecraft and Entwined.

quote:

What about games that people would otherwise of written off that they ended up getting the most amount of play from? Probably Steamworld Dig and Towerfall for me.

Never Alone plays like rear end but the rest of it is super cool and I really liked the cultural videos. Unfinished Swan was good too. I had played them already but Helldivers and Guacamelee are great buys no matter what. Tropico 5 is also awesome, way better than 4.

Man, there really are a lot of super lovely indie games on PS Plus huh

It's a short, fun puzzle game that I revisit every once in a while. I backed it though and liked it before it even came out so that's probably just confirmation bias on my part.

I got it on PC, played through at midnight, and found it really effective. Especially reading the rules for the games it asks you to play that mirror the actual gameplay. It's one of only games to actually unsettle me.

I never figured out how to get hiding to actually work though, so I mostly just did laps or screwed around on ladders. :v: This was at launch too, so the sanity meter when in the endless hallway thing was bugged and never ran out.
