If you enjoyed Little Nightmares, make sure to play Little Nightmares 2 which was better imho. It's a prequel to the original story.

I have the highest tier. I'm very impressed at the PS1 classics except Resident Evil DC. The control scheme in that game is nuts and I don't know how I ever played it back then.

I would like to see Silent Hill and the Tomb Raider series come to the service. Actually I would love for those to get a remaster.

These old games were never meant to be played on a 70inch screen and some look very good.

I'm sure there are a lot more I'd like but those two come to mind.

I'm not really a fan of the service personally, I begrudgingly pay for access to online gaming, and the rest of the offerings for me are totally bunk. At best I get 1 or 2 free games a year I feel like adding to my library and even those I rarely play.

Plus's offerings have felt really lackluster to me for the past year and I was ready to cancel it but I use online occasionally. With the introduction of the tiered Plus system I knew essential was going to get boned even harder, I don't expect to see anything worthwhile on there again when they want to incentivize the higher tier purchases.

This next month is pretty good though?

YMMV, I don't want any of those games. I feel like they used to give out a lot of great games back when they were still doing PS3 and Vita but I haven't been interested in most things released on plus in the past couple years. It's turned into a dumping ground for indie multiplayer trash.


Those older years sound stellar tbh, a lot of good games released for free each year on PS3

they can only give away so many games.

As a consumer all I can do is guage how worth it the service is to me at any given time. For my money and interests, it's been dropping in quality for a long time now. I did like VF5 and Control but most months I look at the freebie list and don't download any of them. If they blew their load in the early years giving away too many good games, what am I supposed to do?

I'm just going to assume you're just trolling

Some people just have very particular tastes... that's why many people miss old Sony that had kinda niche titles.

Different strokes for different folks and all that...
i have been subbed to them for a long time now, mainly just for the multiplayer experience with friends, if i am completely honest, there have been a couple of really shitty months this year, but every now and again there are some wonderful gems that they give you.

For what you pay and the amount you get back i really think it's a super value.

Not only that, but here's another thing:
I'm not exatcly the richest person in the world, even if I just play 30% of the games that come to ps+ its already worth the money I pay for my yearly subscription, Its honestly all I need and there are so many games that I end up playing and enjoying thoroughly because of Plus, its a good deal no matter how you look at it.

I don't really agree. Last year I didn't play like anything online, and I only grabbed like 2 of the free plus games, so the service didn't feel worth it to me at all for 80 something Canadian and I was considering cancelling it this year. Picked up fighters again so I needed the online but if I wasn't playing these, there would really be no reason for me to keep the service. I could grab a few titles I actually want with that 80 dollars instead of throwing it in the garbage.

My cheap ass buddy likes it because they often give freebies that his kids will enjoy toying around with, but I think YMMV drastically with this service.

I wonder sometimes too if, counterintuitively, a game being on the service makes it less likely people will seriously invest in it. There's actually a good number of titles on Plus over the years that I was semi interested in when they were just retail releases, and then when they came to Plus I was just like eh whatever. Something about the games being free can sometimes make you less apt to play them.

Like if they had actually sold VF5 at retail, I would have been on that hype train and preordered. Probably would have invested more time in the game because I put money down. It came out on Plus, I played it maybe for half a day and deleted it.

The perceived value of the game lessens indeed. But that's not always the case though.

Well then I guess the service just isn't for you 🤷‍♂️
If there's no value in it for you, be it for the games or the online mode, no reason to get it, and it must be quite annoying to only play it online sometimes and need the service.

I was a bigger fan when they were still doing offerings across 3 consoles, felt like there was more that I was interested in being given out. So many plus games have been AA multiplayer games lately and then if you don't like the one higher profile game you're waiting another month.

What games specifically stood out to you as really great in those past offerings... just curious.
