Illegal. A lot of people were stacking years of PS+ for cheap on Black Friday and now they have access to all these great games?

Nice, some PS1 games. We Need 3+ at least every month. Maybe a few for PS1/PSP/PS2 each

Next I want Tombi and Tombi 2. While I have them on my Vita, I'd love to platinum them. Considering we have Klonoa available now, Tombi is next on my list

I would love that too, but Tombi was removed from old PSVita/PS3 store, because of licensing issues. I think/fear the publisher is gone for ever, and so are any chance to see Tombi again 😔

They are added to the library if you have Extra or Premium. You can then download and play them as much as you want. Contrary to regular PS Plus, you don't keep them "forever", you lose access if they are rotated out of the library.

DMC5 is a good addition. I’m not thrilled about any of these honestly but I’m willing to give DMC5 a chance. Had 4… wasn’t crazy about it. Never have been.

Got Just cause 3 and 4 free with plus over the years. Didn’t touch them yet. Won’t know.

There’s enough open world sandbox action games on the service … Ubisoft flooded the catalog with that already. Makes sense now tho doesn’t it? They’re hurting bad and taking whatever handouts they could get from both ms and Sony w/ these sub services.
