Why ‘Furi’ Is the First Essential PlayStation Plus ‘Free’ Game Since ‘Rocket League’

PS Plus gets criticised for a lack of triple-A games, but those complaining are missing the point. It's best seen as a home for indie gems like this one.

Limbo, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris and Gone home say hi 🙌

Gone Home? really..

[mike32UK]

Yeah I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the atmosphere. Definitely not for everyone if you don't like games such as Everybody's Gone to the Rapture or Firewatch, but I think games like this provide a great change of pace from my recent outings of: Uncharted, TLOU, Mirrors Edge etc.

[Why o why]

I enjoyed it too. It had a weird compelling atmosphere like Mike said. Proper interesting title if you giveth the chance

[Eidolon]

I guess I just get bored of these games, don't enjoy the walking around 90% of the game looking at stuff. I would rather have a VN type game or Telltale style game for story.

[mike32UK]

Yeah that's what I mean by saying its not for everyone bud, you need a lot of patience and a desire to get invested in the story. Typically these games only last 2 or 3 hours at most. Any more more than that and I would also probably start to get bored

[Majister-Ludi]

Yea I would probably take gone home off that list. Games should probably have gameplay just my opinion though.

[ziggurcat]

downloaded, but haven't played it yet, though.

[Why o why]

It's a tough game at first but you kinda get the hang of it. You're reflexes have to align with the game for it to be beaten

[ziggurcat]

i've heard it's pretty tough. i'm a souls veteran, but hopefully it isn't rip-your-hair-out frustrating :)

People are complaining that we don't ever seem to get AAA games. The last one was recent, NBA 2k, but it's a sports game isn't everyone's thing. Before that though, what was the last real AAA game for PS+? the general consensus is that ever since the PS4 has become popular, and PS+ has become mandatory to play online, the game being offered have been well below par, compared to what used to be offered. Sony hasn't needed to try as hard since the service is no longer optional to people, unless you aren't playing online. I got one am a bit sick of Indie games, "gems" or not.

[Omegasyde]

should be one indie one AAA game...

[MatrixxGT]

I guess before NBA you could say Driveclub?

But I agree, compared to PS3s ps plus games the last few years have been lackluster. I'm not implying games like resogun, gone home, rocket league, etc are bad, some I haven't even played yet. Just when you hear about an indie game that might be good, no need to buy it as it will be on ps+ soon enough.

Hell even the vita ps+ used to be better.

But I guess Sony is the leader at the moment so they can slack off trying.

[Eidolon]

What, are we talking about games freshly release on PS4 via PS+? Becuase there are a few great games that were free for PS+ after Rocket League.

Reminds of afro samurai where he don't talk but someone else talks instead. I only beat the 1st 2 but wish there was more enemies free roaming.

[Majister-Ludi]

I guess we will see. Rocket league has become a phenomenon and an esport. I don't know how this game will turn out but I can guarantee it won't have the success rocket league did.
