Jason says, "I went into this with little in the way of expectations except having skipped it initially because it, indeed, looked like a cheaper Fallout game using a bit of that Bioshock writing. I turned out to be correct but adding to the pile isn’t necessarily a bad thing. What the game lacks isn’t in its mimicry: they’ve competently captured the “magic”, and even improved on the dialogue design despite not having the combat complexity of either. What the game lacks is content, direct consequences, weapon and enemy variety, and the need for a slightly higher graphical budget (namely to eliminate many of the “map doors”). I did smile at the writing, though, and that’s always worth something."
February’s Game Catalog lineup for PlayStation Plus brings together racing thrills, sci-fi adventure and a selection of entries from a classic RPG series. Take to the streets in Need for Speed Unbound, blast off into space in The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition, then experience some acclaimed RPG fantasy action in the Tales of… series. These and many more titles are playable from February 20. Let’s take a closer look at each game in turn.
Finally, Resistance: Retribution 🔥
It's an alright month overall. I think Sony should try to more consistently get some high quality indies Day 1 in the service, e.g. Ultros would have been good. Those have usually been some of the better months, e.g. Stray, Sea Of Stars, Tchia.
Shame that for this version of Outer Worlds, you can't import your save. 😔 Truly Spacer's Choice
You can say what you want about day one purchases but besides that Plus really blows GamePass out of the water.
NFS, Outer Worlds and 4 different Tales of Games... and Retribution. And you throw the monthly games on top of that... its no competition.
BTW... how is it that no one realized that Microsoft could just put its games on Plus. No one seems to realize that Microsoft and Sony are now working to enrich each other. (Console ware is over)
Is that Jet Moto 2, under Resistance? As of writing, it's just an image and no text.
Why is the Killzone series still M.I.A? I still love playing splitscreen co-op of KZ3.
The new free game available on the Epic Games Store to celebrate the ongoing Holiday sale is The Outer Worlds Spacer's Choice Edition.

The Outer Worlds, like most Obsidian games, was well written. Not their best work, but really solid.
The game, itself, needed to be fleshed out more though. Felt some mechanics were half baked, and wanted a bit more of an in-depth experience.
A fun, solid framework for what I hope to be a much stronger sequel. I'm definitely hopeful that will happen being they're now 1st party, with access to a lot more resources.
character design is bland and stereotypical
My favorite Action RPG since Fallout: New Vegas.
I went back and played it after the 60fps patch, decent gameplay the voice acting and dialog were the strong points.
