There's a bunch of PS Plus free games this time around. Here's my take on them.
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture (PS4)
I get it that not everyone likes this kind of game. A walking simulator game. The pace is slow. No action ever takes place. You are all by yourself with no other person in sight. Same feeling I get when playing other walking sims like Dear Esther, Ether One, Proteus and Gone Home. Games under my radar I've yet to play are The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and SOMA. You could say I'm one of the few who could tolerate games of this genre.
Reasons I stuck with this game till the end was for the story (an enticingly good one at that) and the lushness of the quaint English countryside (made with Crytek's CryEngine). The orchestral soundtrack was aurally pleasing and uplifting. Ultimately, I'll only ever play games like this once. Fortunately, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture was a worthwhile adventure while it lasted. 👍

Gave this game a whirl on the PS Vita and was awed by the hand drawn animations of fighters havin' it at each other in this brilliant brawler. A perfect fit on the mobile for a quick stress relieving/inducing bouts; depends on how good you are with fighting games 😁
Pumped BMX + (PS4, PS Vita)
Saints Row: Re-Elected (PS4)
Lumines Electronic Symphony (PS Vita)
Lumines games started out way back on the PSP, which I have had a change to play. This PS Vita iteration offers more of the same puzzle-solving, Tetris-style and color matching gameplay. Slick presentation, pulsing music and eye-popping visuals is the order of the day.
Also installed this on the PS Vita due to its short burst type of gameplay. The game controls simply and ramped it up with button combos to pull of crazy stunts. Rack up insane points and get to the finishing line in one piece is the objective of the game. An easy to play, hard to master kind of game. One thing I was not too keen on was the use of the rear touchpad to execute said stunts. The game only registers if you touched the far-reaching centre of the touchpad. Fingering anywhere else won't get the job done 😋

I remembered this game was heavily compared to Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto (GTA) game series. Well the open world aspect that is. What sets it apart was the over the top action and humor. And superpowers! With superpowers, you can pretty much get around easily without ever hitching a ride. The game simply won't take itself seriously which is a good thing because video games are a form of escapism bla bla bla. We've been served Gat Out Of Hell expansion in the previous PS Plus offers. Now, time for the main dish! 🍻
