PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for December: Lego 2K Drive, Powerwash Simulator, Sable

All playable December 5.

[darthv72]

Sable was cool, gave me a bit of motion sickness though. Lego Drive and Power Wash are fun games.

[LucasRuinedChildhood]

I bought Sable a while back because it seems like a game I'd love and the art style is amazing but ... dear God ... https://youtu.be/mIJ7EjKhN-... The framerate is like a car that's conking out and about to die. It stutters all over the place, especially on the bike. It's not very playable.

You can get used to a low framerate but not this. It's like this on every platform and I don't think they ever fixed it.

[darthv72]

I liked the art style, but man did it mess with my head.

[isarai]

It was worth pushing through for me personally, it's probably the best example of a map that rewards exploration. But it is terrible especially when zooming through forests

[purple101]

that looks choppier than the Atlantic ocean on a and day,

hopefullY they fix that for the ps+ release cos' id like to check it out.

[seanpitt23]

What is this garbage? It's December! The month of giving! Lol

[gold_drake]

ooo powerwash

atleast a racer is included xD

[Obscure_Observer]

40% price increase for this. Sony should be ashamed. Smh.

[JEECE]

Sorry Spiderman 2 is selling well. I know you had low hopes for it.

[shinoff2183]

How come I never see you in the bad news xbox articles. Or the system sales articles. 40 percent sure sounds like alot but if you actually say the dollars it's really not.

[anast]

Obscure understands. I would play back.

[VersusDMC]

Essential had a 60 to 80 increase which is around 34%. Nothing you say is ever factual.

And if it were 3 popular games released this year you would say everyone already has the games and still complain.

[Espangerish]

So rather than release recent popular games they should release old unpopular ones to reduce the chances of people already having them? Weird logic

[rippermcrip]

Microsoft tried to raise their price and everyone cried, so they took it back. Then they eventually removed GWG free games.

SMH

[Einhander1972]

What games are you getting this month with your basic subscription?

And of course it wasn't a 40% increase.

[S2Killinit]

Isnt gamepass now more expensive? With an inferior service might I add.

[crazyCoconuts]

Monthly core is the same price, but PS is still cheaper annually even after the price increase

[RupeeHoarder]

What will it take to get you removed from this site? Enough is enough. You are so toxic to the comments sections here.

[anast]

Those games are on par with Starfield...

[TheEnigma313]

Trash month for Sony. I expect better. They haven't had a month this bad in a while.

[darthv72]

I guess the lack of GwG competition is starting to set in...?

[Crows90]

Lol
You honestly think that? There was never competition between the two.

[OtterX]

Sorry they didn't cater specifically to your taste? Next time I hope they contact you first.

I'm really happy with Lego 2K Drive. I was about to buy it for my kids for Christmas, and I know I'll enjoy playing it just as much as they will. Being able to actually build our own vehicles sounds pretty cool, and much different from the other samey-Lego games. (It's ok to enjoy Legos as an adult, we won't tell your friends! ;) ) Power Wash Simulator is a surprisingly fun, relaxing game. I'm hearing good things about Sable, but I know little about it.

It's good to cater to different kinds of tastes.

[TheEnigma313]

I'm a paying customer, so I have the right to criticize my displeasure with this months releases. Sony has dropped the ball this month and hopefully they bounce back in January.

[frostypants]

"Sorry they didn't cater specifically to your taste?"

Why are you asking? Do you not know?

[Seraphim]

@TheEnigma313 - criticize a company because, even at the higher pricing, the monthly cost of PS+ is less than a cup of coffee? @ $80 annually that's $6.66/mo. Make no mistake, I dislike the price increase, but we're talking spending chump change each month while expecting gold in return. Furthermore, how many people here have $35-50 subs active? Meaning they've paid $2.91-$4.16/mo. It's just silly and beyond ridiculous that month after month people complain about free games that were an added bonus to PS+. What kind of value do you expect each month for the cost of less than a cup of coffee. Criticizing a company for unrealistic expectations is sophomoric at best, idiotic at worst.

[OtterX]

@TheEnigma313 Yea, my apologies for the passive-aggressive response yesterday, I could have toned that down a bit. You're right, you have the right to complain. Just seems there's always so much of that on N4G, no one is ever happy with anything.

I still disagree though, Lego 2k Drive is a big score, as it's only came out in May. That's amazing to get a 69.99 title for free, only half a year after launch for the monthly price of a coffee, like @Seraphim said. The PC community has been wild about Power Wash Simulator this last year too, with an Overwhelmingly Positive score on Steam. I know the concept sounds boring on paper, but nothing scores "Overwhelmingly Positive" on Steam without being truly great. Give it a shot.

[Einhander1972]

We're going into December where lots of kids are going to be getting their consoles, so they offered some family friendly games.

Just because you personally don't like the games does not mean they are bad games.

[TheEnigma313]

To me as a paying customer, they are bad (to me).

[CrimsonWing69]

When can we complain about Sony offerings? Seriously, like I made a comment about the classic games not having been stellar and you went up my ass about that.

So, my question is when can we voice our opinions about not being thrilled about the PS+ offerings? I’m pretty sure “never” is your answer.

[Einhander1972]

CrimsonWing69

You guys don't appreciate what you have and you're going to make it worse for everyone. Microsoft charges $80 a year at it's cheapest rate and they get zero monthly games.

Sony is giving you at a minimum 60 dollars worth of games this month, for $6.65.

If you want a different game go on the PSBlog and tell them what types of games you want, don't just say oh PS Plus is shit blah blah blah just because this month they didn't give you that one game you want.

And I believe my point was in that conversation that no matter what they give you, you're going to complain, I 100% double down on that. I went through a list of games that people said they wanted which Sony put onto Premium yet people still complain even after getting what they asked for.

Seriously, you guys are kind of worse than Obscure and the other xbox fanboys they just throw stones at the wall, but you guys are tearing shit down from the inside. You're causing people to cancel which means Sony has less money and the service is only going to get cheaper and cheaper games.

If you want better games more people need to subscribe so Sony can pool our money and negotiate better deals, that's why all the xbox fans are in here talking crap they want you to unsubscribe so Sony will have less money to make games and put games on the service.

[recoctimocassirnff]

I'm very disappointed as well.

Coming up to Christmas, the month of December should be a blitz, but this is a deflated bean bag.

I've had PSN plus since the ps3 days, but I'm seriously considering letting my sub laps.

[ModsDoBetter]

Rip - just picked up 2K Drive on sale in GAME. Decent little racer.

[Terry_B]

Nice..I got Sable as "free" game now on Epic Store, Steam and finally on PSN too. But hey..Lego 2K might be fun.

[darthv72]

Dont forget.. it was also on GP.

[Terry_B]

Never had gamepass..never will.

[Shane Kim]

They aren't even trying anymore.

[shinoff2183]

What are you talking about they have some pretty decent months leading up to this. I'm not interested in anything this month but just cause me or you ain't don't mean no one else will.

[Abnor_Mal]

Not the greatest month, but not the worse. I will give Lego Drive a go, and Powerwash I might give a go. I don’t know what Sable is so that one will be a surprise I guess.

[RAFTECH26]

What the hell is this garbage?
I’m getting sick of getting crap games on ps+

[Einhander1972]

I hear ya, I'm getting sick of not getting monthly games at all on my xbox.

[jznrpg]

Wanted to play Sable but heard it had performance issues so didn’t buy it.
I’ll probably play a few races of Lego Drive with my kids.
I have no interest at all for Power Wash simulator and games like it but good for people that do.
I don’t expect to be happy every month and don’t rely on PS plus for games to play. I only see it as a bonus and sometimes it’s a good bonus and sometimes it’s lesser but months like this are expected to appear here and there.

[ocelot07]

Very good month.

[jznrpg]

To me it’s not that great but many of the great months are games I own already so they’re not really great for me. This is a decent month as I don’t own any of the games so I see that as a plus.

[Hofstaderman]

Nothing that interests me this month but thats cool, I'm trying to plat FFXVI and then I'm finally starting Baldurs Gate 3.

[phoenixwing]

I'm also planning on getting a platinum if not at least most of the trophies for ff16

[Rutaprkl]

Pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Damn they're closing out the year with this

[Profchaos]

Not a great month compared to the last few

[Nacho_Z]

I was going to buy the Lego game for the kids so I'm happy with that, they're going to love it. Didn't get released that long ago.

[ShwaaMan]

Okay I have been wanting to try Power Wash Simulator since it came out. I’m happy about this

[frostypants]

This feels like they are trolling us.

[Crows90]

Not really making the price hike make sense here.

C'mon Sony. Do better.

[Elda]

Agreed.

[shadowknight203]

The last time ps plus had a bad month, it had several that followed. Not excited for this months games. Loved arkame knights, it was a pleasant suprise after it got not much love from early impressions and critics. I'm sure this Lego racer may be awesome for some, but not for me.

[CrimsonWing69]

Well, there’s always next month.

[Einhander1972]

This is what I am saying.

I am not going to be playing these games most likely, but next month maybe the games will be more suited to me.

This year I 100% played way more money worth of games from my sub than I paid. It's not about every month having every game be what I want, that's an unrealistic expectation. Especially when you realize everyone wants different things. Just gotta look at the bigger picture sometimes.

I don't play sports games, but I guarantee you there was some guy that got FIFA who had one of the best times of their life playing it on PS Plus.

Anyways, I just hope you have fun playing your games.

[DivineHand125]

This is one of the weakest months based on PS plus standards and if this the trend going forward, then it solidifies my decision to allow my subscription to lapse since the price increase. I also don't understand why I am seeing so many defenders commenting on this.

If you like games like Journey, then you will enjoy Sable based on the steam reviews. Not my cup of tea.

[Exvalos]

Horrendous month

[TheColbertinator]

Nice. Nice. Total embarrassment.

[Games1st]

Maybe next month 🙃

[Elda]

I won't even put these games in my library, a total pass for me. Thankfully I've bought a slew of games to play.

[RAFTECH26]

Xbox gamepass just got remnant 1 & 2…. Shadow dropped.

[MrBaskerville]

Interested in Sable, I'm getting strong Moebious vibes from that one, which is cool.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

Pretty meh month for me, but I guess 2K Drive should be okay, and I've been lowkey interested in trying Sable.

[maniacmayhem]

Well this is some very hot trash. Thank goodness for the price increase.
