Thats much better. I'd have never played that soccer game. I'll definitely play Detroit: Become Human when I get the time.

Looks like Sony is stepping up the quality of Plus games. Both of these look enjoyable, but I still haven't played the other games in their series. lol. The most I've played of Darksiders 1 was getting to the first boss.

Last of Us is amazing.

I'm surprised there isn't a uproar over the fact that it was already given away with the original PS4.

[DeathscytheX 9,732]

I've been wanting to play the Titanfall 2 campaign.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

Me too. I've heard nothing but good things about it.

[Myk JL 1,731]

I now have the urge to buy Goat Simulator for Xbox 360.

BioShock is a franchise I should be addicted too, but I'm not interested in when I actually play.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

Its a good lineup, but I've owned the Bioshock collection for a couple years now and only played the 3rd one for about an hour and forgot to go back to it. Its in the backlog that I'll get to eventually. Lady plays the hell out of Sims 4 on her laptop, but she has most expansions.. but this might have us competing for time with the PS4 if she likes the controller interface. lol.

March games are still available at the moment. Shadow of the Colossus and Sonic Forces

 

April games:

Much better than the free games for May. I do recommend playing the Battlefront 2 campaign. It was enjoyable. Make sure to get the free campaign DLC to finish it. I can't remember if it auto downloads with the game at this point or if you have to manually tell it to download from the menu. Its basically an epilogue mission at the end that ties in to the events of one of the movies.

And I've been told the Call of Duty WWII campaign was good. I'll have to try that after I get caught up on GW2.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

This topic hasn't been updated this in a while. Lol.

[Strider Hiryu 2,704]

Holy fuck, I never thought Shadow of War would come to PS+. I still haven't even finished Shadow of Mordor yet, guess I now have a reason to finally go back and beat it.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

I think Worms Rumble is trying to see if it can catch some popularity like Fall Guys did with releasing free on day 1.

[Myk JL 1,731]

This looks like a good month for free PS+ Games.

 

[Sledgstone 8,672]

Shadow of the tomb raider was a beautiful game. It wasn't as good as the first 2, not as much combat and hunting sucked, but it was decent. You don't need to play the first 2 games to get into it since the game catches you up pretty quick. It's a good game for exploring and doing non combat tomb puzzle challenges.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

Well, the Playstation app was giving me crap earlier, so I added the free games through their website:

Turns out you can also get a free Tiger skin evolution dlc for Maneater with this link.. which for some reason isn't shown as dlc from the actual Maneater store page:

Control grabs my interest.

Destruction AllStars makes me wish I could play Crossout on a Nintendo Switch.

 

[Sledgstone 8,672]

I'm very shocked that FFVII is going to be free with PS+. I don't regret buying it at all, but its still surprising to see such a huge title come to PS+ especially since it will unlock the PS5 upgraded version too.

[Strider Hiryu 2,704]

It's not that shocking honestly, they're trying to get more eyes on the product now that Integrade has been announced and what better way to do it then to offer it for free to everyone even remotely interested in it that couldn't afford to buy it. Plus this starts drumming up hype for the PS5 version.  If I didn't have such a dislike for the story and characters of VII I'd download it (also doesn't help that I despise action based combat in RPGs) but as it stands only Remnant is piquing my interest this time around.

Quick note: Free version does not allow the upgrade to the PS5 version https://www.vg247.com/2021/02/26/final-fantasy-7-remake-ps4-ps-plus-ps5-upgrade/

Clarification and link to non-upgradeable free version

[Sledgstone 8,672]

Interesting. I find that a bit whacky on Sony's part. Their online store is horrible now ever since they revamped it for the PS5. But even before the website changes, whenever I had a free ps+ game it never gives me the option to buy it digital again. It just says "download from library." So if someone gets the ps4 free version of FF7 but then the digital version goes on sale for $30 or less with the free ps5 upgrade, they are now locked out from buying it and their only option to get the ps5 version is to now buy the ps5 version at full price. Seems like a dick move by Sony to get more money out of people.

[Strider Hiryu 2,704]

Yes and no. I mean it kinda fucks over Square-Enix since they get no actual money from the free version since Sony is literally comping the cost due to our PS+ memberships and allowing a free upgrade to the PS5 version with no actual sale having taken place would be Sony saying fuck you to it's biggest money making publisher/developer. I mean I'm pretty sure there's going to be a ton of people who download it without knowing this who are going to be up in arms but not much you can do about it unless Square gives the go ahead for it (which is surprising they don't but my eyes are clouded due to my love for the FFXIV dev team and how much they do for their players).

The other work around is to buy the physical version of the PS4 copy but that will still require you to have a disc version of the PS5 to even play the upgraded version.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

Heres an odd thing... When logged into my PSN account, I don't even have the option to buy the PS5 version and it has no information about a downloadable PS5 version for existing PS4 digital version owners or any info about buying the new DLC separate.

I'm guessing they'll add the standalone game and separate DLC as two different purchase options soon and it'll update my account showing that I own the PS5 version and how to buy the DLC. They probably have this "Not available for purchase" as a prevention so they don't have to issue a bunch of refunds for purchasing a game twice at full price.

I'm having a problem where my PS+ Membership shouldn't be expired until months from now yet the website says I have no subscriptions.
