Heck yeah. Did not buy Abzu the last times it was on sale cause it was an indie and thus bound for PSPlus.

PS Plus and Live game offerings have made me go from buying 5-10 indies a year in 360 era to less than one a year. No indie has to be bought if ya can wait 6-12 months.

Ombala · Apr 26, 2017

ABZU was amazing and liked very Good to NA is lucky.

dragos495 · Apr 26, 2017

effed up. i wanted abzu so bad. almost pulled the trigger on it so many times.

eu member here...

Johndoey · Apr 26, 2017

Tales from the Borderlands was one of the best games released in 2015. It's a must play if you have interest in this type of narrative based game.

Solobbos · Apr 26, 2017

Bought Abzu and was eyeing Alienation in the last Sale. Didn't pull the trigger and couldn't be happier now B)

boredandlazy · Apr 26, 2017

Awesome. Already own ABZU so Alienation is great for me!

Davide · Apr 26, 2017

Hasn't Tales from Borderlands been free before?

Another terrible month

Venom. · Apr 26, 2017

I already own ABZU...

But I live in the EU...

Stallion Dan · Apr 26, 2017

Not this shit of different games for different regions again.

Rapscallion · Apr 26, 2017

Didn't know anything about Abzu, but it looks beautiful! Will definitely play.

blastprocessor · Apr 26, 2017

Hold on l thought Knack was on the list??

BakedTanooki · Apr 26, 2017

Nooo. Already have Alienation and was excited for Abzu.

pretty done · Apr 26, 2017

I can't even hold all the gameplay in those PS4 games

Cth · Apr 26, 2017

First time owning everything.

Glad I only renewed for a month for the Marvel beta.

PLASTICA-MAN · Apr 26, 2017

2 maybe 3 (consecutive) good months last year. That is it.
Dunno if there is still hope for this year.

j0hnnix · Apr 26, 2017

What is the end goal of abzu? I just see someone swimming around.

Thats pretty much it.

It's like Journey. Its an atmospheric type of game from reading the reviews (I havent played it, but am aware it's like that). No combat, etc, just go and enjoy the view type of game.

yurinka · Apr 26, 2017

I was going to buy Abzu this Friday, but I'm from EU. I think I'll wait to see if it comes next month or so. I already have Alienation :/

It wouldn't bother me as much if PS4 had simple region switching like Xbox does.

hurzelein · Apr 26, 2017

Glad Alienation is on Plus in EU. Bought it in a sale but haven't put time in it, now there will be a new group of people on the servers!

Love it how people are complaining about not getting Abzu in the youtube comments but wouldn't buy it if they would get it for 1€. Great game or everyone that liked Journey!

tdwig · Apr 26, 2017

Already own both, but excited for newcomers to play tales & abzu!

Don't see the point of buying a game that I can get the full value of by watching online.

You can do that with any game

Jblanks · Apr 26, 2017

TFTBL is great, and I wanted to try Abzu so I'm ok with this.

Bishop89 · Apr 26, 2017

Americans got screwed lol.

Why the split though?
Can't remember the last time this happened between EU / US.

Alienation is a great get.

No idea what those other games are need to watch vids

sublimit · Apr 26, 2017

First time they offer different games and Europe got screwed...why am i not surprised?

PLASTICA-MAN · Apr 26, 2017

Wow ABZU for US Store? It's only now that I noticed that. Why the EU store is always the worst and not going to change?

Von Krukru · Apr 26, 2017

NOOOOOOOOOOO! I wanted Abzu!

alexbull_uk · Apr 26, 2017

Good month. Actually want to play both games for once!

Glad the EU is getting Alienation instead of ABZU. Don't like the look of that one.

abzu is like 90 minutes long, could have watched a playthrough on youtube instead of taking up a valuable slot on the NA roster

Maybe it is worth experiencing it first? It is like saying that reading the synopsis of a movie is basically like watching it.

ZangBa · Apr 26, 2017

Carl said:

Nah. If the gameplay is interesting enough it will be worth playing myself. Most games I'm interested in, are.

Chac · Apr 26, 2017

Of course I bought Abzu and never played it.

Why play any games?

TheVisualizer · Apr 27, 2017

Ive finished both Tales from the Borderlands and ABZU and recommend everyone give both a playthrough.

I personally enjoyed Tales a lot more, but im a big fan of the Telltale game formula and other games like it. I didnt enjoy the actual Borderlands games much and didnt find their world wasn't very interesting but was convinced by someone who made a GAF thread about the game try it awhile ago and loved every minute of it.

ABZU was neat and had some really cool moments but I found it a bit tedious at certain points and not as compelling as Journey which it is compared to by most. I really liked how the "story" was told through gameplay and really liked how it ended. I finished it in one sitting so its pretty short and worth checking out for a nice change of pace and to admire the art and beauty of the deep sea.

Ryukori · Apr 27, 2017

First month in a while where we have different games for the NA and EU regions.

I'm personally only looking forward to ABZU. I've either played or am not interested in the others.

Ogawa-san · Apr 27, 2017

As someone that only played BL1 and unloaded all ammo on Claptrap at every opportunity and with extreme prejudice, should I play TftB?

Pretty sure it was but I think it was just episode 1 free. I am assuming this is all episodes free at this point

BL2 only has 1 claptrap because the rest got wiped out and the pre-sequel (especially the DLC) deals with their extermination. I don't even remember claptrap in the Tales game.

Falchion · Apr 27, 2017

I hope this isn't the beginning of NA and EU having different PS Plus games. It's bad enough not having a month you like, but the thought of the other region getting stuff you want when you don't get it is horrible.

Yes.

dtcm83 · Apr 27, 2017

Already own Tales, but really wish US would have got Alienation instead of ABZU.

Ikon · Apr 27, 2017

Well fuck. ABZU was the first PS+ game in a long while I intended to play right away before seeing EU doesn't get it.

Let's continue adding but not downloading these games I suppose.

Vigilant Gambit · Apr 27, 2017

Abzu is a hand-me-down from the February Humble Monthly Bundle. And I also already got Tales from another HB sale ages ago, so...

Ashtar · Apr 27, 2017

No alienation!? Dammit I was hoping to play that with my nephew

akumu · Apr 27, 2017

What a time to be a PS+ member! Been wanting to play Abzu for a while now.

I really, really dislike the writing in BL 1 and 2. Both games are almost painfully unfunny and I despise most of the characters, but I adore Tales from the Borderlands, everything in that game hits, and they manage to take a character I hated from the other games and made me give a damn about them.

Snowybreak · Apr 27, 2017

Fuck, I just bought Alienation today.

You should never buy games close to ps+ game reveals, or before a sale kicks in

jacob armitage · Apr 27, 2017

Nice, really wanted Abzu.

taco543 · Apr 27, 2017

Tales from the borderlands is my favorite telltale game. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
