That is pretty good.

But Limbo is a bit disappointing.

Not for me. I've been eager to play this game for a long time, but always just got distracted or forgot about it.

 

[Kinsella]

I loved the first Lara Croft game. This one is horrible. The first thing you notice is how completely shit the framerate is.

 

[derExperte]

Ugh I own all put Temple of Osiris. Disappointing month for me, good for others. *sigh* maybe September...

It will only get more disappointing when you get to play Osiris, it isn't bad but much worse than the first one.

For me God of War and Stealth 2, had worse months.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Of course you did...

What do you mean?

 

[Coolluck]

Some decent games. Lara Croft and Limbo aren't them. Welp, back to Rocket League!

 

[Ricky_R]

Not for me. I've been eager to play this game for a long time, but always just got distracted or forgot about it.

You're in for a treat. The game is pretty trial and error though, but it's still great imo. The atmosphere is so well done, as well as the art style and animations.

 

[nib95]

Solid month. Never played Temple of Orsis or Sound Shapes. Will happily play Limbo again on the PS4, if I find the time. Don't really play my PS3 any more, but Ascension is nice.

 

[Shahed]

Ooh Temple of Osiris? Nice! Been meaning to get that but never got around to. Been a while since I got a game I wanted from PS+. Gof of War Ascension would have been nice, but I no longer have my PS3, and can't be bothered to borrow my sisters.

 

[Fushichou187]

Hah, well I guess I'll be adding "PS4" to the list of platforms I've beaten Limbo on. If you've never played it and enjoy short, atmospheric platformers, you're in for a treat. The "Complete the game in one sitting, dying five times or less" trophy is no joke but getting to know the timing of everything in Limbo well enough to pull it off makes for a zen-like experience.

Annnd Sound Shapes, a trophy lover's wet dream

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Stealth Inc 2 and GoW:A are pretty great, but the rest...eh.

 

[Cleve]

Wasn't The first Lara Croft one a great game? Is this one disappointing? I was looking forward to play it and I'm kind of excited to be able to

Basically, yes. The previous game was more interesting. This one isn't terrible, it's just disappointing when compared to what it should have been.

-edit-

What the hell is with people complaining about a lack of AAA parity with gwg. GWG has had ACiv, PS+ has had injustice. Both systems are lacking in terms of free AAA games, but there's been some really fantastic "free" games on both platforms.

 

[awake]

I've played Limbo on Steam and Xbox 360 already. Temple of Osiris is new for me - is that one any good? Also Stealth Inc and Sound Shapes (never heard of that one before) are new for me. PS3 gets GoW

 

[Icyflamez96]

Already played Sound Shapes and Limbo. They're worth playing but I found limbo to be disappointingly boring, even in short bursts. I was hyped for that game for a while too. A lot of people like it though so it definitely has something going for it. Sound Shapes is neat for a bit. I'm most excited for Stealth Inc 2. I played the first one, liked it, but I suck at puzzle games and ultimately let the game "beat me," I did get near the end though before a quit. Stealth Inc 2 is supposed to be a more open world/metroidvainia style game which sounds a lot more appealing to me than a level selecting thing (which is what the first games was). The rest I don't care about much, but I'll probably try out Castle Storm

 

[Nesther]

Nothing for me, don't mind though, still gotta get through the July line-up. Rocket League's been taking up all my time.

 

[Spades]

GwG stronger once again, but some good titles here too.

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

Haha you need 80 GB free to download Ascension, my poor 60 GB PS3 is unworthy.

 

[ohlawd]

Lara and God of War for me.

Ascension is fucking huge. thank fuck I got the disc

 

[Ricky_R]

Haha you need 80 GB free to download Ascension, my poor 60 GB PS3 is unworthy.

Fortunately for you, there's a PS3 slim model with ~120 gb of space.

 

[Victarion]

Ok finally some interesting PS4 games for me.

 

[trikster40]

Dammit I own every single on of those already

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

Fortunately for you, there's a PS3 slim model with ~120 gb of space.

No, fortunately for me, Ascension is mediocre and I don't need to download it.

 

[Cleve]

Dammit I own every single on of those already

You and me both, buddy. But honestly unless a title debuts in plus or just isn't worth getting, I'm not likely to get it free.

 

[Coreda]

Never played Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, is it cool? Does it have a single player campaign?

Compared to original it's rather average but it's not bad per se. It's like a watered down, less arcade-y version with gameplay annoyances that weren't present in the first. It does have a singleplayer. Posted a mini-review in my LTTP thread on Guardians (PC).

 

[sense]

GwG stronger once again, but some good titles here too.

lol wat

 

[TWrecks310]

After reading this thread I realize I must be the only person to have never played Limbo.

 

[nel e nel]

He, good thing I didn't pull the trigger on Sound Shapes a couple of weeks ago.

Was thinking the same thing. It was super tempting to get all the add-ons with it for super cheap too.

 

[Bringer Of Bacon]

Give me knack or give me nothing

 

[Smokey]

Great month imo

Still have my 60GB PS3 (with 320GB hooked) hooked up.

 

[kamineko]

Limbo is nice if you don't have it

meh

 

[RdN]

That Tomb Raider game is really cool, don't be to quick about dismissing it.

 

[Winter John]

I have to applaud whoever is responsible for the PS4's lineup. Somehow they manage to make each month more underwhelming than the last. Stealth 2 might be o.k but Limbo? I played that 5 years ago on the 360 and that's what they're "giving away." Oh well, maybe next month we'll get Frogger.

 

[Robot Pants]

Finally after like three months of crap

 

[Camwi]

Woof, almost as bad for me as the Xbone's lineup.

Already have all those games but Lara Croft.

 

[ironcreed]

Nothing I care about.

 

[Midn1ght]

Already have Limbo on PS4 but I'm glad for everyone who never played it, absolutely fantastic game !

 

[Briarios]

I applaud you for ignoring the other two games you get for the PS4, as if it will make your argument better.

4 games for the PS4 is pretty awesome. There is a pretty significsnt amount of variety between the games, too

 

[visiblemode]

Sound Shapes is so rad.

So true. I love this game, so much.

 

[Oneself]

Great!! Good thing I never bought Soundshape, Lara & Stealth inc. 2!!

 

[Two Words]

God of War: Ascension might be the weakest in the story of God of War, but I think it has the best gameplay. They need to give you the option to not nerf the Trials of Archimedes secton too. Doing that on normal in its original state was a very fun challenge.

 

[Tapejara]

Underwhelming month for me. Sound Shapes is awesome, but I already own it. I'm interested in trying out the Lara Croft game, but that's it really.

 

[ILoveBish]

Not bad. Could be worse.

 

[Walpurgis]

Yeah, but not the PS4 version right?

Not the PS4 version.

 

[Majestad]

Is this Tomb Raider better than Guardian of Light? I loved that game!

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Definitely looking forward to trying Lara, I'll give Acension a go at least once.

 

[Teletraan1]

i am sorry but please do feel free to share these "AAA" games that xbox users are getting

amazing there are people that think gwg is better especially when they have repeat entries certain months and less games per month.

i agree that if you are not into "indie" games, ps4 would seem pretty disappointing so far. i do feel Sony needs to start adding full retail games into the mix soon just to satisfy that crowd because it can get frustrating coming from ps3 and the games they provided there.

AC Black Flag. What a get that game is. It has been budget priced forever and codes shucked out of Bundle systems have been selling for rock bottom prices. As a result PSN+ was a mistake. It is nothing but trash.

I like the Indie game push on PSN, I have played a lot of games that I would have never been exposed to and generates interest for that indie dev's next game. Getting bomba AAA games that nobody bought in the first place just to fulfill some weak console wars checklist is doing it wrong imo.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

PS3's PS+ offerings have been amazing. Perks of being on its last legs with a huge library.

 

[ZangBa]

Awful for me, I don't want to download any of those.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Yes to this month, especially Lara croft. Just as I was struggling on whether or not I wanted to pay for it. Yes

 

[Tunavi]

Man some people sure love their shitty AAA games

 

[Rean]

Guess I'm finally gonna play Limbo now.
