Oh, that's a nice surprise.

[uptownsoul]

yeah this is pretty good...Nice month

[RpgSama]

Until dawn is a great addition to PS+, will definitely try it.

[Septic]

Oh snap sick month! Was gonna get Until dawn as well. NICE!

[Why o why]

Septic isn't lying. . He's a troll but he belongs to me. . .

[UltraNova]

Damn...best month so far this year?

[pinkcrocodile75]

WARNING: I've played Until Dawn, if you like teenagers with big mouths and what I can only describe as hateful personalities with punchable faces, you will love it.

I fortunately am not a teenager I'm all grown up and have son's who are now (apart from the youngest) teenagers and luckily we taught them not to be dismissive, hateful [email protected]@rds to others.

This game while brilliant in it's gameplay features characters I would happily see murdered over and over again.

However there is a silver lining for those of you who might have the same reaction as I did. You can play with an attempt to get certain people killed which based on the teens in this, is nothing short of joyous.

That's just my two pence worth :D

[pinkcrocodile75]

I have to say I'm impressed with PS4's free game line up. My husband stopped paying for the PS+ but I think he may revisit that decision in a month or so.

However he is sat across the room playing Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 year Anniversary edition (nice book that came with it btw) and he had said this and I'm typing it verbatim.

"Oh my god this game is AMAZING, it is better than all of the Uncharted Games INCLUDING Uncharted 4".

Now I've had a go at Uncharted and while I'm a bit shite at it I will admit that it was brilliant, however I never thought I'd hear my hubby diss uncharted in favour of Tomb Raider.

Just goes to show, everyone's got an opinion.

pinkcrocodile75: "if you like teenagers with big mouths and what I can only describe as hateful personalities with punchable faces, you will love it.

I fortunately am not a teenager I'm all grown up BLA BLA BLAH BLAHHHHHHHHH..."

got nothing to do with "being a teenager", the game is exactly like an old school campy horror movie with all its cliche and thats totally assumed, so cut the "but me? im too grown up so yeah..." non sense.

the game is simply superb, and the cast is PERFECT! im 34, not too old for that, never will.

[InMyOpinion]

From what I've played it's one of the best horror games ever, and the graphics are amazing. Can't wait!

[pinkcrocodile75]

@PeaSFor It's nothing like a campy horror as you called it. The Game mechanics are brilliant BUT the characters are fundamentally unlikeable. Hence my enjoyment at seeming them murdered.

Funny thing though, your "BLAH BLAH BLAH" comment is the same thing 3 of the characters in the game would say. I don't care if you're 34 or 14, it's nothing to do with age but attitude and a self entitled arseholery (think I invented a new word) that comes across. However the attitude is most prevalent in teen drama, teen horror etc etc etc.If my boys behaved like that in public they'd be grounded for a month.

I'm only 41 BUT I would have had the same reaction at 15. I knew people like these character in school and they are still detestable to this day.

BLAH BLAH.... My arse!

[PeaSFor]

"It's nothing like a campy horror as you called it."

LOL

[sonarus]

Ps plus games on PS3 were a 100x better than what we get for PS4. I could let it go when PS4 just launched not enough games to sustain it been over 4 yrs we should be getting at least launch titles by now.

This is what I want to see more off not backwards compatibility or cross play but just some cool free games to check out. Sony step your game up

[1Victor]

Lol pinky never saw any movie like Friday the 13th cabin in the wood ,the cabin ,the hill have eyes ,if you seen or like any of those you'll like until dawn with a twist at the end you won't see coming.

[morganfell]

pinkcrocodile, you stealth troll poorly. Everyone made you in the first sentence.

And two words, Post History.

Until Dawn is a great party game. My neighbors come over and after grilling food and grabbing drinks one of us plays while everyone else is watching and shouting what to do or not do. Its hilarious. The wives and girlfriends are screaming and the guys are laughing.

And no one in the room is under 30 and they are having a blast.

[XanderZane]

Right.. great month. Sony has given us 3 good months in a row now. Looks like they are back on track. All those gamers who cancelled their PSPlus subscription may want to give it another shot.

[tyasia0]

Who are all these gamesr who cancelled there PS+? What are you basing that statement on?

[MrSec84]

@tyasia0: To be fair I've been seeing quite a lot of comments on N4g, the PS Blog PS Plus articles for game updates and the YouTube videos whenever Plus games are announced.
XanderZane isn't wrong here, loads of people have made statements about being glad they didn't renew their subscriptions to Plus. IMO the games being added since PS4 launched have made my subscription worthwhile, especially when I was strapped for cash or I just wanted to play something different to the usual crop of stuff I would normally buy.

I almost bought Until Dawn cheap on Amazon the other week, glad I get to play it now.
I've bought quite a few games lately, as I've got some great deals, glad I didn't get Until Dawn by accident, great to see this being added.

[uth11]

@tyasia0

All the people who comment every month "more garbage, I'm cancelling my PS+ subscription! (yet again)" Needless to say, I doubt very many of them actually cancel.

[Specter229]

I cancelled my subscription awhile back and while it is a great month much better than xbox I won't be restarting it. I'd rather just buy Until Dawn than pay a monthly subscription to be allowed to play it.

[XanderZane]

@tyasia0
Read the forums dude. There were a lot of people who got frustrated with all the Indies and bailed. Maybe if you took a moment to come from under your bridge you would see what's going on.

@MrSec84

The last 3 months of PSPlus has been great. I never cancelled. My subscription is good until the end of the year. Very happy to finally be able to play Until Dawn.

[trooper_]

Why are you here?

[Kribwalker]

Bought until dawn for $8 in January. My favourite PS4 exclusive so far. Good game

[EatCrow]

Mine is between bloodborne and ratchet and clank. Granted I've yet to get started on nier.

[S2Killinit]

Mine are Uncharted 4 and Horizon Zero Dawn and Persona 5

[81BX]

Until dawn and uncharted 4.

[XanderZane]

Good deal. Not going to buy it now, since it will be FREE this month. Watch to get Persona 5 for a good deal though. Already have Horizon Zero Dawn & Uncharted 4.

[Sam Fisher]

Thats it im not buying anymore 3rd party games on sale im just gonna wait i have both of them

[mark_parch]

this is actually the first month in ages where i'm looking forward to the ps plus games more than gwg

[XanderZane]

Yeah.. Microsoft kind of dropped the ball for July after have 4 great months in a row. I'm not mad though. Hopefully it will be better in Aug.

[Good-Smurf]

PS+ Asia already had Until Dawn as free game before I don't know what kind of game we would get this month.

[Bathyj]

Finally a decent full retail game. Hopefully that's a sign of things to come, it's been too long.

[BioShockGX]

idubbbz: heyyy that's pretty good!

[TWB]

Mmm, thats mildly adequate!

[Neonridr]

Until Dawn, nice. Too bad I already own it, but a must play for others. I guess I will pick up Game of Thrones.

[Rimeskeem]

I got Until Dawn for 5$ on sale but GoT is a nice freebie.

[Outsider-G]

Great month and i'm glad to see Until Dawn since Asia got it a few months back.

[Dlacy13g]

really solid offering for Playstation Plus subscribers.

[FPSRUSSIA]

amazing month until dawn is a must play for sure and Game of thrones is also worth playing Sony is back on track with playstation plus

[Veneno]

For sure a good month for PS4. Vita is still getting garbage. I dont get it. Sony has a buge back log of 1st party , 3rd, and exclusive quality games and growing by the day. Surely they could at least do one month of quality then a month of garbage instead of several months of garbage then a solid month of quality. Or you know , dont fvck around at all and just put out good games for the service we pay for .

[affrogamer]

UNTIL DAWN, FINALLY!!!

[slappy508]

Holy shit what a selection again. I mean I already have Until Dawn but dam thats a high quality one, ill take game of thrones though nearly bought it a couple of times

[leeeroythe3rd]

Finally an AAA game well close ... oh wait i already own it

[Tiqila]

this!

[PapaBop]

Until Dawn, GoT.. Darkstalkers is the icing on the cake :D

[OhReginald]

until dawn...okay...i'll try it out...otherwise another "meh" month.

[Unreal01]

Lol. Good one.

[Razzer]

LOL

[SilverDemon]

I know right?
I mean, at LEAST they should've given us god of war 4 or anthem
/s

[Der_Kommandant]

Do yourself a favor and play Until Dawn, the game is a gem!!!

[Kurisu]

Agreed. Bought it at launch; no regrets! I'd love to see a new Until Dawn game with a new cast of characters and a different environment.

[DeathtoOtakuDJ]

Played through a full 4 times, and I was very happy.
I wish I pre-ordered though, so I could try out that bonus chapter. Sigh...

[Chumdiddy]

Really good month but I own all the titles but the new, phone game thingy.

Until Dawn is a must play.
GoT is not the best TT game but solid.
Tokyo Jungle is oddly fun but HARD (ha).

Solid month.

[GamesMaster1982]

Excellent Month. Shame i already have them all but still a excellent month for everyone else.

[Abnor_Mal]

I bought Until Dawn about a year and a half ago but never played it. Just took it out of its shrink wrap last night and did all the updates while I slept. Planned on starting it today finally then I see its being offered on Plus, so I and many others will be enjoying this gem for the first time together, nice. The other games I will give a go, never played a Darkstalkers game before. Great month for Plus members.

[FullmetalRoyale]

Happened to me last month with Life is Strange. Haha

[MrSec84]

It's always the danger with these subscription services, like I still have Transformers Devastation in the plastic, which was on Plus a while back, if the physical copies are still in new condition you could always sell them after they come off of plus.

[Relientk77]

Until Dawn and Game of Thrones

Nice

[Razzer]

Wow. Awesome stuff!

[psplova]

Great Lineup this month. Already have Until Dawn and it's awesome. Probably the best free PS+ game released in a good while.. I just finished Game of Thrones in anticipation for the next season to start in July and was really wanting to get the game since watching it.. So this is a win for me, for sure!!

[Resis7ance]

Until Dawn is a fantastic addition.

[Yohshida]

Great month!

[RAM0N]

Ill take until dawn

[TXIDarkAvenger]

I heard Telltale GoT was bad but since it's free, I might as well give it a shot.

[Chumdiddy]

It's not the best TT game by any means but it's a decent play. In most other months this gen that'd been the lead title.

[InMyOpinion]

TT games aren't the same after you've played Life is Strange.

[P_Bomb]

Shaka brah, are you cereal? Hashtag sad face. I enjoyed Ch 5 in Life is Strange but I struggled through the rest of the game. The writing just grated on me. Guess which ending I picked, lol ;)

[InMyOpinion]

Lol! :D

Cerealsly though, I loved both The Walking Dead games and was looking forward to playing Tales from the Borderlands when it came with PS Plus. But it just felt so badly paced and unimmersive compared to Life is Strange, which I loved much more than I thought I would considering the tween setting and all.

I hope Telltale Games changes their formula a little in coming games. And that graphics engine needs a serious upgrade too.

Would you recommend playing GTO or giving Tales of the Borderlands another shot?

[P_Bomb]

It's good in parts, but too long imo. 6 chapters which is 1 more than usual, and there was still padding and loose threads depending on some of your choices. It definitely has that GOT feel though where the good guys get stomped.

[DeathtoOtakuDJ]

As a big TT fan, GoT was disappointing. Not as bad as Batman though.
Wolf Among Us, Tales From the Borderlands and The Walking Dead Season 1 are still "the best".
