Wolf Among Us was much better imo (edit ayy lmao^^^)
also I can't help but laugh at the US PS4 video
"whether you wanna kick things in to high gear or take it slow we've got you covered"
one is a movie game and the other is an underwater indie artsy exploration game, neither is high gear
I like TFTB only slightly more than TWAU, but they're both Telltale's two best games.

Would make more sense with Alienation and Abzu. Alienation is frantic personified and Abzu is a calm underwater stroll.

Tales of the Borderlands is the secret best Telltale game. Glad it'll get some more exposure.

yeah, but for the US games it's just kinda... what? Neither are fast paced nail biters or anything close to it lol

Despise Borderlands. Won't even download it for free. Nothing else seems great either. Oh well.
yeah its like they tried making journey again without understanding what made it so special

also both of the cross-buy games look lame and those can sometimes be the saving grace, type:rider also came out on mobile in 2013...

I already own two of the six games being offered for May.
One of them is Tales from the Borderlands, which I purchased over a year ago, but still haven't played yet. Perhaps it's high time I finally dive in.
The other is Type:Rider, which I bought 2 or 3 months ago. Ironically enough, I just reached the end of the game on Vita a few hours ago. I still need to go back and collect more items to get some of the other trophies, though.
While much has been said about Tales from the Borderlands, I figure Type:Rider is a lesser-known game around here, so I'll describe it a bit now.
Type:Rider is platform game where you control a colon (the punctuation symbol, that is) that travels through several levels, each based on a different font. The levels are comprised of characters from the featured font, along with some other imagery from the time period represented by the font. You collect each of the alphabet characters, as well as ampersands and asterisks. When you collect an asterisk, you reveal a page that describes some history of typography. It's not an especially lengthy or challenging game, but it is fun to play through to admire the artistic design and learn about fonts and typography along the way.

I mean it plays nothing like the baseline Borderlands games (it's not even the same genre) and has none of the same writers so...?

Abzu is cool, but I went for PC because a regular PS4 only ran it at 30 FPS. It's fantastic in 60 FPS motion.

I'd much rather have Alienation.. if only we could trade.

also it's annoying that Sony is still terrible with advertising the cross-buy games on PS4
I completely forgot about this month's and they're not in the PS plus tab or even when you click on free games to play
I had to search what the free games for the month were on my browser and then search for the games themselves on my ps4
and these are the lesser known games too
why

Already have two of the only PS4 games I would ever care about. Underwhelming for me, unfortunately. Tales and Borderlands and ABZU are great titles tho for those who haven't tried them out yet.
I wanted ABZU but I am EU, oh well. I already own TotBL, which is a good game btw.
I don't know Alienation but it looks like another top down shooter? I didn't really like the other ones I got from PSplus over the years. But people seem to like it.
Borderlands 2 did nothing for me and made my eyes roll all the time. TotBL obviously shares it's universe, artstyle, and overall tone but it is just done way, way better, I personally really liked it. My advice would be to play through the first ep and see if you like it.

Awesome. I've come close to buying abzu a few times. Looking forward to playing it.
Already have tales of the Borderlands but it's an awesome game. Everyone should play it even if you don't like borderlands. I'm not a fan of borderlands myself and still found it to be the best Telltale game to date.

Tales was hilarious. Recommended play. Doesn't matter if you're into other borderlands stuff, the humor stands on its own.
