As the month of July has officially started, PlayStation Plus subscribers are yet again enjoying a batch of free games. As is tradition, the free titles comprise of six games spread across Vita, PS3, and PS4. Subscribers wanting to take advantage of these giveaways can start downloading the releases on July 3, Game Spot reported.
For the Vita device, the renowned Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma and the action game Space Overlords are the ones included for the list. Zero Escape has been rated by Metacritic as 87 percent with the player following the story of nine characters forced to play a deadly game by a masked figure.
For PS3 users, Rayman 3 HD and Extreme Exorcism have been allocated for the enjoyment of Plus subscribers. Players looking for a challenge will find plenty of it in both of these titles. Although they’re rather dated, they still possess a retro charm and gameplay that may lure players in for hours of gameplay.
Also, those who have been following the news may have noticed that Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess isn’t on this month’s list despite previous reports. That’s because Extreme Exorcism replaced the above-mentioned game. Extreme Exorcism is also available for PS4 users via Cross-Buy.
Finally, for PlayStation Plus subscribers with PS4 consoles Heavy Rain and Absolver is slated for a free download. Both these titles have received positive reviews from critics and fans alike following their respective releases.
During its launch, Absolver has been hailed as being different from its peers as it gave players challenging obstacles while providing a fun way of learning its combat system. However, the critics pointed out that its world is underdeveloped and could’ve been made more immersive by the developers.
On the other hand, Heavy Rain was heavily praised for how well the Quantic Dream studio made the game at the time scoring a 7/10 in GameSpot and 5/5 in Game Rant. However, its controls scheme, poor characterization, and bad voice acting may affect a player’s opinion of this game, especially if one compares it to the tiles recently released. Having said this, PS4 users can still enjoy Heavy Rain for the story that it holds if nothing else.
All six of these games will be available for a free download until next month where they will revert back to their normal price tags. Also, Call of Duty: Black Ops III is still up for grabs with no charges until July 11 for PlayStation Plus subscribers.
