I’ve only just started getting into the Yakuza series, and November’s PlayStation Plus games will help me out with Yakuza Kiwami. I’m also excited to see the delightful Burly Men at Sea on there. As always, these games are only “free” if you have an active PS Plus subscription.

October’s PlayStation Plus lineup is a bit of a range. Friday the 13th is good for some co-op scares, and there’s also some indie gems in The Bridge and Read Only Memories. As always, these games are only “free” if you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription.

Just in time for Forsaken, PlayStation Plus members can get Destiny 2 as part of September’s offerings. As an added bonus, the game is available starting today. As always, these games are only “free” if you have an active PS Plus membership.

I’ve been meaning to play Mafia III since it came out, and now that it’s one of August’s PlayStation Plus games, I might finally do it. As ever, these games are only “free” if you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription.

I’ve never actually played a David Cage game; I end up watching them on YouTube since they’re already so cinematic. Could Heavy Rain’s inclusion in July’s PS Plus lineup change my trend? (Probably not.) As always, these games are only “free” if you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription.

I’ve always lacked the patience for XCOM games. Maybe June’s PS Plus lineup will encourage me to give XCOM 2 a go, at least until I lose a squad member and quit in sadness yet again. As always, PS Plus games are only “free” if you have an active PS Plus subscription.

Secret of Mana is a broken game that I will always love. Playing through the recent remake forced me to reckon with why that is.

If you don’t own Bloodborne, you’re in luck with March’s PlayStation Plus offerings. There are also going to be some changes coming to PS Plus next year.

Joakim Sandberg spent seven years making the huge, colorful, beautiful, 2D action-adventure game Iconoclasts. I played it. He watched and reacted. We had a good time.

It can be difficult to make video game dialog seem natural. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony’s trial scenes use various mini-games to turn dialog into an stressful battle of wits that captures the feeling of real life debate.

You can get Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain with your PlayStation Plus membership in October. There’s also the Amnesia collection, which has both The Dark Descent and A Machine for Pigs, two games I’m too scared to play.
