PS+ Oct: One GOAT game, the rest is meh

PS4

Spelunky

Dust An Elysian Tale

Pix the Cat

Drive Club PS+ Edition

PS3

Batman Arkham Asylum (really? REALLY?)

Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara

Spelunky

Rainbow Moon

Vita

Pix the Cat

Spelunky

Rainbow Moon

So essentially, one of the best games I've ever played in Spelunky, a decent Metroidvania, an old, clunkier Arkham, a tactical RPG, D&D nerdy shit, and indie cat stuff.

At least there's Spelunky...

ermm why is ur ps4 list missing #driveclub?

Fail month is fail.

But you forgot one thing that makes PS+ worth every penny this month.

DriveClub PS+ edition.Rekt.

Asylum?

That's like GwG giving Halo 3 and Gears of War.

I'll get spelunky for vita. But yeah, major meh on the rest.

Im so glad everything is offered are games i havent played yet so getting all games on the list!

Love PS+

Oh nice. Spelunky for the triple. Not all is lost.

Nice, wanted to try spelunky.

I don't know about goat, but sure Arkham Asylum is damn good, was a fun time, in 2009

Finally a reason to get PSN+.....want to check out that DC because I am a graphics whore.

@freedomfreak: Message me if you want any info on Godlunky ever.

Yeah, I heard there's so much to learn in that game. I watched Patrick from GB play it for a bit, back when he was really into it.

Meh. Another shit month.

@freedomfreak: It is, as I say, the most educational game in the 2D space there is. Every one of my 1,500+ deaths was a learning experience. I love the game.

PS4 to me at least is looking solid this month.

1500. Crikey.

I shall definitely check it out then.

There is no link in the OP...

According to the OP, PS4 gets FOUR free PS+ games for October? I only expected two games, awesome.

Cool. My Xbone is only getting one new free GwG game for October.

Numbers wise, it works out to 20 free PS+ PS4 games, and 7 free GwG Xbone games by October.

As far as PS3 goes, they did give Batman Arkham City for free back in April 2014, so I guess they wanted to give the first game to complete the set.

Pix the Cat is a brand new game, so that's interesting. PS+ has been good at delivering brand new games to the service including last month's Velocity 2x and Resogun to name a few.

D&D is two games in one, it's an old school arcade brawler. I own that, but it's pretty good. Spelunky I own as well on four platforms (PC, PS3, 360, and Vita), and it's a fun game, although hard. I'll be happy to get Spelunky again on PS4.

I'm not into racing games, so Drive Club does nothing for me, but I'm glad for Pix the Cat, Rainbow Moon, and go at Spelunky.

EDIT:

Obviously, there are Free games on PS4 (not related to PS+) which are available every month like WarThunder, DC Universe, Blacklight Retribution, Warframe, Planetside 2 (incoming), etc...but that's a whole different list not related to PS+. I only mentioned that because one upset Xtreme X-poster below thought he would bring up free games like F2P Killer Instinct on his Xbone to bolster GwG's incredibly sad display with one new GwG these last two months. It was a desperate move, acting as sort of a micro-shoddy defense since Xbone got only one new GwG game this month like last month. It was ineffective and unrelated, and by doing that he opened the floodgates of more games bolstering PS+'s list, which he didn't intend. It's lack of research on his part and this message is only for him. That's why I took the time to mention WarThunder and above in this edit, for his sake and sanity. For SW, let's keep things simple. PS+ vs. GwG. Especially after GwG aped PS+ in the first place.

well they did give out Arkham City at the beginning of the year.... I guess they just now realize that they didnt give out the first Batman.

finally a game i want. it only took you 10 months. good job ps+

Finally get to play Dust and I can't wait for Drive Club

lol

They got their shit all wrong.

Always wanted to play dust so im happy.

All you haters bashing Arkham Asylum. It's still a good game! Even if you've played it numerous times before and still own two copies, you lot should be grateful that such a game is available to you!

And yeah, meh month overall. Still gotta renew my sub here sometime soon.

Seriously, thank you. I was meaning to dig around for that eventually.

No real rush for me to renew my sub just yet. But there is very little excuse to have not played Spelunky at this point.

Do you really ask him that question.?

Because he is a blind biased PS hater..hahaha

@tormentos: ....are you serious?

20-7 for current gen in terms of games in favor of PS+ and better average scores to boot

I'll be getting 3/4 PS4 games and by golly that's good to me.

Finally will try Dust.

Driveclub....yay!!!!

If I didn't have XBL or PS+ and join both right now am I able to access the free games from previous months? If not, what's the point of listing them down. Also I noticed if I join both right now, I would get 2 games for the month for both but XBL gives you an additional 3 games to play (Killer Instincts, Powerstar Golf and Kinect Fitness). So Xbox One gives me 5 games to play while PS4 gives me 2 games for the month if I just join now. Am I missing some free to play PS4 games for this month with a PS+ sub? And just last month there was a free weekend play for a retail game, Forza 5. Has PS+ given a full retail game yet for the PS4? I know there was a free PS+ weekend recently, but were you able to access the deals or was that only for online play? Also does PS+ has something like Xbox Rewards where you could gain credit by simply playing games and watching things? Lastly I have a bunch of 30 day PS+ trials but when I try to redeem another, it's not letting me because it says I already used a trial. Did they fix that? I could always use XBL trials whenever I need to, not sure if you could PS+ trials anytime too.

I've been expecting Arkham Oranges on PS+ pretty soon but hey, I'll take the 5 year old predecessor I've already played.

PS+ on PS3 is defintely getting worse. Understandable I suppose.

never played Spelunky, may have to now.

Dissapointed at Batman, really excited for Spelunky, Rainbow Moon and Dust.

Drive Club. Finally.

They already gave away City so they probably figure they should give Asylum.. anyway who cares. I still have my PS3 but only use it as a blu ray player. Everyones moved onto the PS4. Get with the times.

Girlfriend, I AM the times!

FUUUUUUUUCK, I have to wait six more days till I can play Spelunky.

damn psplus get goty games like batman n driveclub n they always get 2 free games while xbone only get 1 flop game a month lol. pay psplus u get 20+ games lock n loaded, pay for xsuck live u only get 5 flop games lulz Sony Wins Another Generation

I'm really looking forward to Dust, Spelunky, and trying out the freebie portion of Driveclub.

Also happy to get Asylum on there, as I'm fairly sure my copy moved out of state with a friend. Love that game.
