All you folks who have never played Grim Fandango are in for a treat. It's only one of the greatest adventure games ever made. Just make sure you brace yourself for some super obtuse, old-school puzzles.

Yet another terrible month on PS4. Now that you have to pay to play online they don't have to try, and it shows.
Hopefully PS3 and Vita are better.

Nice, had Grim Fandango on my Steam wishlist for months now but never got around to buying it.
This being in PS+ for January makes it easy striking this game off my list

The game selection is getting pretty depressing. It'd be nice if they started digging into the classics section for PS3/Vita games.
I guess if you brought a PS4 and then got PS+ it's understandable to feel that way. Having PS+ since before the PS4 existed and much preferring single player, I could take or leave the multiplayer. Though I don't think they should even be charging for it.
Definitely got Twisted Metal vibes from it and I haven't played a car combat game in years.
Even if it's a little distraction for January only, I'll be content.
Yup, I can't get my head around puzzles in these types of games. Bought it anyway, and will eventually make my way through it with the help of a guide.
Yeah, I've really enjoyed both Broken Age and Grimm but this would seriously make me consider not buying Day of the Tentacle when it'll probably be on plus less then a year later.

It shows because they gave us probably the most critically acclaimed game within it's genre?
Come on now.

May be its terrible for you because you did not get games you expected, but for many its will be a good month as we got one of great games (adventure) of all time and new game which is about to launch, so sony doing good job as they are providing free games for three platforms (also they charge $10 less than Xbox gold).
Velocity and Resogun as well.

I've received the same e-mail.
Thumbs up for Grim Fandango!!!

Yeah, I remember people complaining about Rocket League, too. I'm not saying that every PSN+ game is as good as RL, just that we shouldn't discard the low profile games they've been giving these past few months as some of them are legit good.
Great, Vita is the gem that keeps on giving.

I absolutely adore Grim Fandango <3 I'm loving all those adventure games on Plus!
Unfortunately, I didn't like Rivals when I played the Beta. It was a smaller scale, simpler Twisted Metal. Not really fun. Matchmaking sucked also, but that might've been due to beta. I'll try it again though, but I miss when they gave First Light, such a great game.

Except we had an Open Beta for Hardware Rivals so we know it's shit.

Played the beta. The controls were weird and required four fingers on the triggers to play properly but I got use to it. It was some how more arcadey than Twisted Metal with lot of auto aim and locking missles. Hard to properly access because it was hard to find any game much less a full game. Levels seemed too big. It was fun with enough people in but it was shallow. The asthetics were really boring. PS+ was a good call as this would have bombed otherwise.

As someone who played it for the first time recently, that's not entirely fair, although it does have some really fucking obscure puzzles at times. I wasn't really a fan, personally.
Is July really that recent? Especially when the objectives of the games are so different.

Wut? They give us adventure after adventure game, but you say nothing about that?
HR is quite different as well as it's about scoring "kills" & not about scoring goals.
You should totally buy Knack!

Yeah. It's hard for even 90s adventures. I think younger people who like what adventure games have become have wised up that these 90s games may not be for them. I wish they started with the much easier and better IMO Full Throttle.
It isnt. It is a 19,99 or 20,99 Game.
Same here, although I've been playin it on Vita on my commute the past month. Have a walk through handy!

It's more annoying that it's the 3rd game in it's genre in a row. Walking dead, King's Quest Episode one
lol
At least it is a crossbuy title when you buy the game. Think the only cross buy title that isn't crossbuy as a plus title is the Abe remake.

Grim Fandango. I've been mildly interested based on what people say about it. Good time to try it then.

They had a beta. You may be thinking about that.

Junior, please.
Bit annoyed because I'm actually buying these good games on Vita as soon as they come out and then they turn up on Plus a few months later. Nuclear Throne will be next, I'm sure.
Tempted to cancel my sub and buy any leftover games that I'm still "renting".

Eugh.
I have PS+ pretty much now to play online because I'm not interested in any of these games for the past months.

Considering some people pay for the service for those games this is a ridiculous attitude to take.

Grim is fantastic, everyone needs to play it. Not too fussed about hardware. Maybe the PS3 or Vita (heh) selection will be more for me,

I have Grim on PC but I'm happy to have a portable version of it for the vita now.
I had broken age on the PC too but the vita version ended up being the one I sank most of my time with.

The sad thing is that there is a ton more indie games as worthy as RL but they still keep getting trashed even after people try them. That's because Rocket League is trendy, the others, not so much.
The problem relies in the gamers, not in the games.

You heard wrong and should feel bad for being misinformed.
Grim Fandango is an Adventure game, an one of the most well received Adventure Games from LucasArts' output.
