Hold onto your subscriptions because Sony has revealed the games coming to PlayStation Plus on October 17. This set involves a bunch of horror games, just in time for Hallowe’en. It’s definitely not a bad mix, but the Classic Catalog line-up is anemic, as usual. On the other hand, I’m surprised by one particular game’s inclusion.
Here are the titles joining Extra and Premium:
- Alien: Isolation
- Gotham Knights
- House of Ashes
- Outlast 2
- Disco Elysium: The Final Cut
- Dead Island: Definitive Edition
- Elite Dangerous
- Far: Changing Tides
- Gungrave G.O.R.E.
- Eldest Souls
- Roki
Meanwhile, the Classic Catalog additions are as follows:
- Tekken 6 (PS3)
- Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny (PSP)
- Ape Escape Academy (PSP)
- I.Q. Final (PS1)
This certainly is a decent bunch of additions, but with the recent PlayStation Plus price hike, there’s no way I’ll be touching the Extra and Premium tiers. Even the Classic Catalog additions are better than the usual fare, with I.Q. Final being an especially interesting addition. I can only hope that the PS1 and PSP titles are available piecemeal, which is never guaranteed with Sony.
As for new games, Alien: Isolation is one of my favorite horror games. Elite Dangerous is a rather robust space exploration game from a legendary series. Disco Elysium is one I haven’t gotten around to because I’m afraid it might be too depressing for my mindset. Meanwhile, I really don’t like Dead Island. Something for everyone.
These titles will be arriving for the various PlayStation Plus tier subscribers on October 17.
