Damn I owned 2k20 and Rise of tomb raider 😣 I always want to try Erica though.

[sushimama]

I played through Erica. It's worth doing it with your partner. Kind of fun. But you need keep your phone in your hand the whole time.

[bouzebbal]

TR is too old, but a good game.
Sony please make a new WipEout 😓

[terrorofdeath]

Sorry - never heard of Erica - why do you need to keep your phone in your hand the whole time?

[GameStallion]

Know how you feel. This is the first month in a long time there were games I actually wanted (refuse to pay $60 to 2K for their microtransaction addled game, but I do love bball), but didn’t own already.

[Cmv38]

This year, it was a fair grind to level without needing to spend any money. Unlike years past.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

Damn, already own tomb raider, don't care for 2k20, know nothing about Erica.

[BigBosss]

2K is garbage

[sushimama]

But it's free. :-D I never played it. Now I can. It must be good for a 'free play' Don't you think?
I understand not buying for 60. But it's a good offering for PS Plus I think.

[ps3rider]

you think too much

[solideagle]

we pay for Playstation Plus, it's not free :)

[sushimama]

@ ps3rider. Fair enough LMAO :-D

[jambola]

"It must be good for a 'free play' Don't you think?"
no, even for free i don't think it's worth playing

[King_Noctis]

The game is so ridden with microtransactions that it is not worth it even for "free".

[memots]

@King_Noctis
It should be a free to play game.

[anonymousfan]

Even free, who wants to play garbage? My free time is scarce enough as it is I havent played Rise of the Tomb Raider though.

[sushimama]

Yeah fair enough. I agree. I still might play through the campaign mode though

[RosweeSon]

Just finished it literally 3-4 weeks ago actually really good game

[Kavorklestein]

RotTR is an excellent game. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is too if you haven't played it already.

[RosweeSon]

That’s why it was £4 the other week, glad I didn’t buy it 😂
Solid eagle no you pay to play online like you do on the other 2 these days the games are just a bonus. Sure you gotta pay to get them. That’s what I pay for but majority will be paying it for the online access and at barely £3 a month not too shabby

[lociefer]

Not their strongest month

[Elda]

Agreed.

[RpgSama]

We know PS+ is a great service when a month with NBA 2K20, Tomb Raider AND Erica is considered not their strongest.

[RgR]

Well it is a great service but...Tomb raider is not that great and Erica isn't really compelling to me.
Considering this follows up their event I was hoping for something more current.

But I got lots to play right now so no biggy.

[lociefer]

Not really, it's been in a free fall for the past couple of months, but now we hit the bargain bin lmfao

[Profchaos]

2k is hugely popular and rise was also a highly regarded game Eric's is just there to appeal to those that hate sports games

[Kavorklestein]

Yeah it's not, but they have had really good months for about 6 Months straight so I'll forgive them, besides RotTR is actually a really good game, and to get the Complete edition for this month means players can have a good time and a good lengthy adventure. I put lots of time into Rise and loved it even more than TR definitive edition.

[Elda]

Very meh for me. I've played ROTTR already & I have no interest in NBA2K20. I may see what Erica is about.

[RosweeSon]

Same here I didn’t pay £4 for NBA, thankfully I’ll click the download option incase I get bored in future but nah not for me, prob check out Erica but busy with last of us part 2 so always next month 🤞🏻😂

[zsquaresoff]

Erica and tomb raider for me, not even going to bother with that 2k slot machine simulator

[MoonConquistador]

Neither am I after hearing the feedback in this thread. It's amazing how word of mouth can change your perception enough to not even try a free game (leaving the free/paid issue aside)

[Exvalos]

I hate sports and I already have tomb raider [email protected]$ man another dud month.

[Relientk77]

Rise of the Tomb Raider is cool, but I don't want that Casino Simulator NBA garbage.

[I_am_Batman]

I preferred it when we got newer indie titles. With AAA games they are always gonna be older titles. Chances are I either already bought them or have no interest in them. I'll probably try out Erica, but the rest is not really interesting to me. I disliked the Tomb Raider reboot, so I never bothered with the sequels. Maybe I'll like Rise of the Tomb Raider more, but I have so many games in my backlog that I actually wanna play that it's unlikely that I'll ever find the time to play it.

[BrainSyphoned]

A free slot machine! Went from scraping the bottom of the barrel to fishing in the refuse pile. Game should be F2P in the first place.

[SamTheGamer]

Wow I always wanted to play Erica.

[anast]

Isn't 2k20 a slot machine?

[Terry_B]

Bad luck..got both through Humble ages ago already..

[beanplant]

Humble Bundle is better than PSplus and Xbox Live combined. Doesn't even compare to be honest.

[boing1]

Nice. I was waiting for Rise of Tomb Raider. Gold got it months ago AFAIR.

[ghostrider32]

They could have added something else beside 2K20. That game is so bad, people were demanding Ronnie 2K to be fired.

[Acecalibur]

Yikes.

[mastershredder]

I don’t think I play 5% of the PSN games they hand out. Maybe 24% are interesting enough to play. I think I’d rather just spend money on an online service than a service with “free games” where I rack up a horde of games I’ll never play. It’s pointless and I’m defiantly not impressing myself with the amount of free non played or tried and deleted psn games I have accumulated over the years. And damn, tossing more discount store $5 bargain bin candidates like 4k sports games or indie platformer template fodder (really sick of these) only makes me to change up this service even more so given the opportunity.

[Yodasfavoritesoda]

Great month for people that don’t own any of these games. Rise of the tomb raider is still one of the best looking ps4 pro games iin my humble opinion

[x_xavier_x]

Great selection from PlayStation Plus. I already own both games but it's good to see that Sony is still offering AAA titles. I'm not sure about the bonus game, though.

[jambola]

no
not it's not great

[Youngindy21]

I played Rise on Xbox One when it was still an exclusive. I'm happy to get NBA 2k20 though as I skipped this year. That said, PS Plus can't compete w/ Epic Games in terms of free game giveaways.

[Jls1]

Rise of the tomb raider was definitely one of the better ones. Except when I remember doing this for the platinum lol

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Amazing how much money they've made on PS4, yet the entire generation of PS+ was never close to what they gave away on PS3. And this is their anniversary lol. Wtf is Erica

[ziggurcat]

Will grab Erica as I have RotTR, and not interested in sports games.

[Gamerking82]

Already plated Tomb Raider bought nba the other week for 4 pound played half hour was bored out my mind so deleteted it. Nit interested in that live action thing at all either so guess ill not sub again this month.

[Pughski]

Wouldn't mind playing Tomb Raider again, great game.

[mike32UK]

RotTR will remain the only TR game I haven't played after the dirty tactic 12 month exclusivity deal Square made for this game. Fucking over more than half of your fanbase for some up front cash? Worked out swimmingly I must say.

[The_Sage]

I was interested in Erica, so... Cool. I'll download NBA for my wife. She likes basketball. I don't, so we don't watch it, but I'll play the games with her.

[Mr_Luke]

I don't like NBA and i already bought ROTTR a long time ago. I bought Erika too :( but it's not a bad month. I wished they continues the trend of "2 of a kind" and get 2 RPGs :P

[moomoo319]

2k20 and the newest tomb raider have been on gamepass for a minute.... and we get rise of the tomb raider? What?

[jambola]

"thanks for 10 years, here's a shitty, microtransaction riddled sports game, a cheap 5 year old game, and a game you play with your phone"

wow
didn't we already get 2 nba games?
if i wanted nba i'd buy a version for 2$

[Latex74]

Have no interest in 2k20 and i have tome raider . Not played Erica so will give that a try aftor i finish the last of us 2 and have Iron man vr coming next week .
Never mind great for some people so thats good

[Latex74]

I do wish sony would put the price down for the online side and keep there free games every month . never much for me as i buy alot of the new games out . and I'm not an indiy game fan so generally never a good month for me but it is what it is

[qalpha]

Rise is the best of the modern Tomb Raiders. Fight me!

[umair_s51]

I didn't buy Rotr. So this worked out great for me.

[King_Noctis]

NBA2K20? The casino simulator.

[sagapo]

A nice month!

[CrimsonWing69]

I could’ve sworn we got Rise of the Tomb Raider as a free PS+ game before.

[bangoskank]

Rise is a great game but I played it about five years ago. Don't even like basketball. Maybe next month.

[Dissidia]

PS4 PS Plus support was lack luster compared to PS3.

[Games1st]

"thank you for 10 years of supporting PS Plus" here is some old stale crap
