Styx is a very solid old school stealth game, if a bit lacking in polish. No idea why it was being shat on so much earlier in this thread. Unless they're complaining about the load times which I hear are excruciatingly long in the PS4 version.

 

[Wedge7]

Nothing for me again, not that surprising. Not gonna drop PS+ or anything drastic like that lol, still worth it for the occasional sales and of course, playing online.

 

[Moobabe]

Honestly sometimes I wish they had a PayPal donate button or something, let us show our appreciation to the devs directly.

You could buy some DLC!

People are shitting on it because it's not Assassin's Creed or Gears 3. I'm not even remotely joking.

Edit: And Knack. Forgot about that gem. It's rotting somewhere in my closet if anyone wants it.

 

[Bishop89]

As a PS4/Vita/PS3/3DS/Xbox360/PC/PS2-only guy, I don't get excited for games I've played in 2011 and 2013.

Do you replay games released prior to 2011?

 

[Klart]

Rocket League is awesome, but this is otherwise a poor month. I could have -sworn- Rain was already free at some point.

They gave it away in US as a free game (one of the choices) following that court case.

 

[Kane1345]

Rocket league, styx and Geo. Lovely

Try some of them out man. I really expanded my gaming palette because of PLUS.

 

[breakfuss]

Is Geometry Wars cross-"anything" lol? Already have it on PS4 so getting that version isn't a concern but I'd at least like to carry over my save. Either way I'm stoked to try it out on vita. Worked pretty well with remote play so I can only imagine how if good it runs naively. Fun (and highly addictive) game, folks. Don't sleep!

As for everything else. We'll see. GAF seems pretty hyped about Rocket League but yall have been wrong before so I won't hold my breath.

 

[Silent Chief]

Another great month for me. (I paid $10 for Black Flag 6 months ago, so that would have been a bust).

 

[Liamc723]

No, it actually is an awful game.

 

[Gen X]

GwG just got AC. PS+ should compete with that.

I think a lot of people forget about the amount of stellar months we've had over the years. I remember when ppl lost their shit that Sleeping Dogs was a PS+ title less than 6 months after release. Then we've had Batman Arkham City, MGS Revengeance, Dragon's Dogma, Okami just to name a few.

PS+ has had more great releases than GwG has hands down but we shouldn't be comparing anyway.

Why should it sink so low? We're getting rocket league and styx, m8

But I mainly play on PS4... and a lot of us feel like PS4 PS+ free games have been permanently nerfed since PS+ is required for online play and PS4 is the massive sales leader.

 

[Liamc723]

The biggest casualty for PS+ is the PS3 games. Rain and Mousecraft...what the hell happened there?

 

[Zocano]

Styx is a god damn love letter to Thief and sports some of the best damn level design in the genre. Anyone who has the patience for a pure as fuck stealth game needs to play it.

Maybe. Ive never looked at it as a service for one platform since Ive had a PS3 and Vita since IGC started. I have a PS4 but don't play online (haven't used it in 5 weeks since I no longer have a telly with hdmi).

 

[nded]

What's so awful about it?

Sounds right up my alley. Came close to buying it last week too. This month is crazy good.

 

[Stanng243]

PS4 games keep getting worse. Give us a real full games.

I wish everyone who said something like this sent a PM to Bish telling him that indie games aren't real games. It would solve a lot of problems.

 

[Tizoc]

Butt Cream isn't exactly my kind of Stealth game, it's more of a collecathon now :V

This is the comment I was waiting for. Thanks. Can't wait to try it out.

He's one of the posters whose shtick is to shit on indie games:

I would rather play Knack than an Indie.

 

[Stanng243]

Which is why he should PM Bish and tell him how indie games aren't real games.

 

[Gxgear]

Do you replay games released prior to 2011?

What does it matter?

 

[FlashFlooder]

This is the best month in a while, for me.

 

[WhoYouJivin]

Pretty stellar month in my opinion. Geo Wars and Rocket League have made it worth it alone. I don't understand all the negativity.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Mostly lies and warz conjecture.

Just like others have said, PS+ has definitely expanded my palette. And I have a backlog of games I still have yet to catch up on.

 

[BashNasty]

I'm really excited to try Rocket Leauge. It sounds great.

 

[Staf]

Was going to buy Rocket league day one, no need it seems.

 

[Tizoc]

I await the day Escape Goat 2 becomes a PS4 freebie just for the reactions.
I'm playing it right now and it is a friggin' blast to play. Love figuring out how to solve a room.

If it suddenly appears free on Vita (like Geo Wars 3), I'll be ecstatic.

Well, a lot of us feel it has been improved by offering more and more day one new games, so therein lies the rub.

It's an absolutely masterful game, I agree. I await that day too. It will be fun to see the incessant bitching of yet another 2D game, without realizing that it has some of the most incredible level design I've seen in a very long time.
I wish this game had blown up as much as the Super Meat Boys and Braids.

You're joking, right?

The one thing I dislike the most about EG2 is that when you fail or reset the game just shows a message 'DEAD' and then resets the stage...
That's bad, that's really bad.
Why not have it be a more encouraging message like 'Try again!' or 'Don't give up' Or something along those lines.
Just writing 'DEAD' is very disappointing considering how creative some of the stuff in that game is.

 

[LogicStep]

Oh god, Styx is fucking terrible.

lol here i was wanting to check it out. Looked promising before release.

 

[Anilusion]

Tuesday can't get here fast enough!

 

[Tizoc]

lol here i was wanting to check it out. Looked promising before release.

You may want to read more posts about Styx in this thread as the game is a really good stealth game.

 

[PaulBizkit]

I only have the PS3, June and July are terrible except for Rain.

 

[ClayKavalier]

You're joking, right?

Why? I don't have an X1 and don't keep up on its releases but if GWG has AC for X1 why is it crazy to want retail games on the competing service?

 

[RichiRamjag]

lol here i was wanting to check it out. Looked promising before release.

I'd suggest checking it out, I mean shit, it's free!

 

[MUnited83]

The biggest casualty for PS+ is the PS3 games. Rain and Mousecraft...what the hell happened there?

A Sony-made game by Japan Studio and a good indie game?

Yeah, I wonder what happened here. Putting good games on Plus? Blasphemous!

lol here i was wanting to check it out. Looked promising before release.

Don't believe him. Game is awesome.

 

[system11]

Styx is a really good game, after the media COMPLETELY IGNORED IT for the most part, at least it will get some exposure now. My review:

Styx - Master Of Shadows

 

[KORNdoggy]

What's so awful about it?

Nothing. It's an above average stealth game. Like thief. I managed to enjoy that too despite people on gaf thinking it too was awful.

Its the usual case of "if it isn't 9 or 10/10 it must be a terrible game not worth playing" which frankly that's more then a little asinine

 

[Jingo]

Its an ok month, i dont think psn really cares too much on the games cause i bet if starting today , there were no more games given per month, people would still have ps plus cause of the online.

 

[Pestilence11]

I fully endorse this message. Bought it a few months ago and the level design blew me away.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Fuck the one game I really want from the list is the one on the only platform I don't own -_-

 

[SigSig]

People actually wanting Knack over Rocket League, Geometry Wars and Styx ? smh

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

I only have the PS3, June and July are terrible except for Rain.

Cloudberry Kingdom and Call of Juarez Gunslinger are both fantastic, and Mousecraft looks pretty solid.

 

[Mike Works]

What do you call Injustice: Gods Among Us?
