Hmm... A sign of things to come for US PS+? I've been wanting to buy Strider for a while, was actually thinking of doing so this weekend. Now I'm not so sure I want to spend the money if Sony are just going to give it away to PS+ subs (like myself) in the coming months. I could wait and save $15. Decisions, decisions.

I really enjoyed that too. The writing in that game was hysterical. Reminded me of old-school LucasArts games.

Nice, I have neither.

I loved it because it was like an old school point and click adventure with an interesting twist. Loved that game.

Too similar how? (I'm looking at just the PS4 offerings)
don't get me wrong, the writing was fun and stuff, but it wasn't a particularly great game.
you had like ... 8 areas where you had to dodge guards and the "riddles" were super obvious. :/
but yeah, different strokes...

Urrghh, that typo annoys me more than it should.
But how will you be able to play Density?

Fuck dammit, I just bought Strider
Leason learned if real: never buying a digital only game unless I'm truly excited for it (I'm looking at you while I hug you, Child of Light)

Oh it definitely was incredibly short and easy, but I was fine with that; it makes it easier to pick up and play for those that don't play video games very often (like when my sister and nephew come to to visit) and was a nice change of pace from the other games that I had spent tons of time earning platinum on.

Haven't picked up any of these games, so I'll be excited if true. (U.S)

This would be an amazing month if it happened. If.
It's not a typo, McFly.

Ok, now I'm confused.
Nevermind, I thought Towerfall was actually a different game.

Almost bought Towerfall a few days ago after playing it at my brothers all weekend. Hope this is true. Already have Strider, but oh well. Game is fucking awesome.

Strider is pretty good game. A little on the easy side though.
Yeah stick it to the man was wonderfully creative. I loved it.
you are quite the detective.. or did you just read the posts on the first page..? ;O)
?
I was just looking at the page, it had the two games there. Refreshed again and they disappeared? I thought that was odd.
Oh ok, so it was already pointed out

Don't get me wrong, I'll always support developers, especially ones that make games that appeal directly to my tastes, but plus is making a very strong case for playing the waiting game on a very large number of digital titles.

Great games. Bought them both day 1.

I wish. US PS+ has been pretty lackluster for me. I would love to get Strider.

Strider's pretty good and you'll get quite a few trophies in a single play through, if that's your thing.
Am I right in thinking Towerfall has a (short?) single player mode?

Freedom = $1.05

the problem really has been exacerbated by the PS4 launching either brand new games as free or barely old games as free. It's set an expectation where either you won't buy a game because you expected it to be free (see Octodad's launch as an example) or you wait a game out until it's free (as is the case if Strider is indeed the free game).
I'm not complaining, and im sure the devs/publishers who sign up for this aren't exactly coming out poor on their end but it's definitely giving off the perception that downloadables are overpriced whenever they launch at over $1, hah.

If this hits the US, I'm alright with it. Already have Towerfall (Great game), but Strider would be welcome.
It does. It's about fighting waves of difference enemies in different levels and is actually a lot of fun and an excellent challenge. You can play them coop too which is a lot of fun with one other person. There's even a boss fight down the line. (Might be even more; I just finished the first big chunk of levels and didn't have the skill/time-investment to keep moving forward.)

Hope that Towerfall is for NA. Been wanting to get it for a while.

Thanks for answer. Looking forward to it.

Ugh... I already have Strider and I hear Towerfall is essentially a local multiplayer game. Hopefully this is the first month that differs between regions.

Nearly every month since the start has differed between regions.

Yeah, I definitely agree with most of this. I don't feel it adds to the perception of downloadables being overpriced though.
It does make you question whether you should take the risk to buy a game though and I feel that's a lot more damaging than a game being perceived to be overpriced.
Overpricing can be addressed, the idea that games will eventually go free on Plus and in some cases, within just a few months after release, will be much harder to address as we go forward.

Towerfall has a surprisingly fun single player campaign that a second player can co-op on. The later levels actually get difficult and (being vague) there are secrets to discover....

Both games I have been wanting to try out. Hope they come to the US PS+
Strider is the one game I look at and wonder why I bought it. Not because I think it's a bad game, but it's in my backlog. I could've waited to buy it. It was priced for an impulse buy though. Oh well
I have no interest on Towerfall. It's not a bad thing since I have enough games in my backlog anyway. PEACE.
