Less than a week remains to wrap up the last two PlayStation Plus games offering subscribers in the ninth year of its Instant Game collection. Registration has released 32 games in total, in 2019; Is any of this good? What would they cost? In short, what are the details of the importance of this PlayStation Plus benefit, which has been part of the service since 2010?
We'll try to answer that question for this year as we have for the last five years, as well as a few other questions. Such as: How old is the game? Did Tony publish it? Which publisher made the most of PlayStation Plus? And has this previously appeared on Xbox Live Games With Gold?
These questions can shed light on where these free gaming systems are heading, especially with the new generation of conference arrivals the following year in the form of PlayStation 5.
What about Xbox Live Games for Gold?
Getting started
In total, it was 32 games in the 2019 PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection, with an average of 77.6 marks and a combined retail price (at the time of offer) of $ 894.68.
The Metacritic average is 8.8 points higher than 2018, but the MSRP for the collection is $ 614.06 less. However, these figures do not compare favorably considering the fact that PlayStation Plus has reduced support for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita after February 2018.
That has reduced the number of free games offered from six to two (hence, the total dollar amount for that collection). Also, by dropping the dead weight of the PlayStation Vita, whose PS Plus games were often poorly reviewed and largely unknown, the critical catalog rating goes up. And rightly so; Many high-quality PS4 games were made available to players this year. They are small sample sizes.
Other titles from January and February were played live at one or more of the stadiums; their main platform is the one listed. After February, all games are exclusively for PlayStation 4.
January
- Amplitude (PS3)
- The Fallen Figion: The Flames of Rebellion (PS War)
- Web site Knights (PS4)
- The dragon (PS4)
- Super Mutant A foreigner Attack (PS War)
- Enders HD Collection Location (PS3)
Metacritic average rating: 65,5
Middle Ages 2 years, 7 months
Total price: $ 134.94
Skinny: Amplitude and The dragon they are the kind of hey-it-guy games that most people can remember but have never experienced. Skiing and rhythm are somehow eclectic, but both are better than their Metacritic suggestions, in my book.
February
- Divekick (PS3)
- That is respect (PS4)
- The gun (PS War)
- Hitman: Perfect Start Time (PS4)
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns for the Patriots (PS3)
- Rogue Aces (PS War)
Metacritic average rating: 77.2
Middle Ages 3 years, 10 months
Total price: $ 122.94
Skinny: For its last month on PS Plus, the PS3 received some very relevant help, which is very concerning to some of the best game ever made. For the last 10 years, PS3 has launched the PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection, and through it consumers hope that the console service should throw their loyal customers a bone or two every month. The PS3 is not a hero; just an old killer hiring to do wet work.
March
- Call of Duty: Modern Wars Remember
- The evidence
Metacritic average rating: 85
Middle Ages 2 years, 10 months
Total price: $ 79.98
Skinny: Hey! Where that where are you from Activation makes the best part of 2016 Call of Duty: An endless war available from good friend Sony, as well The evidence, shocked the same year, replaced a bathroom that was filled with names of honor.
April
Metacritic average rating: 70.5
Middle Ages 1 year, 5 months
Total price: $ 69.98
Skinny: This is what passes the measuring month now. Both games had a delicate reception combined, but if the genres were your cup of tea (survival action-adventure, or Souls(like playing a role) is like the money earned.
May
- Sold!
- The remainder Edith Finch
Metacritic average rating: 83
Middle Ages 2 years, 4 months
Total price: $ 36.98
Skinny: Indie-may alone does not get rid of two old titles; The remainder Edith Finch took Best Narrative at the 2018 Game Developers Choice Award, as well Sold has been a major nominee for the 2016 Independent Independent Festival. It was followed by a sequel in 2018.
June
- Borderlands: Portable Collection
- Sonic Mania
Metacritic average rating: 84.
Middle Ages Three years
Total price: $ 79.98
Skinny: You can't argue for the number three Borderlands games, even if they are five years or older. Sonic Mania it was also a cool breeze, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2017.
July
- Detroit: Be Human Digital Deluxe Edition
- Horizon Chase Turbo
Metacritic average rating: 78.
Middle Ages 2 years, 6 months
Total price: $ 49.98
Skinny: Perhaps you wondered Detroit it was worth the emotion; maybe you thought it wasn't. Either way, you can get it for free this month.
August
- Sniper Elite 4
- Wipeout Omega Collection
Metacritic average rating: 81
Middle Ages 2 years, 4 months
Total price: $ 79.98
Skinny: Many will disagree, and for good reason, but I think Reiperion's Sniper Elite is a very limited series. I’m always excited to see that come out, or in a slow month paired with an old first-team anthology.
September
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Broadcasters 3
Metacritic average rating: 75.5
Middle Ages 2 years, 6 months
Total price: $ 79.98
Skinny: Broadcasters 3 it was nothing special but we were gone Arkham Knight. Sure, it's been four years ago, but if you've never played the end of Rocksteady & # 39; s Arkham, this is the month where you feel like you're getting something.
October
- MLB The Show 19
- Last to Us Remember
Metacritic average rating: 90.5
Middle Ages 2 years, 11 months
Total price: $ 49.98
Skinny: Only the first party in October highlighted Sony's distribution on the PlayStation Now service / streaming service, which received a price discount with the two titles this month. MLB Exhibition 19My career has always been a time for baseball fans, and it's rare to find an AAA video game in its current year on these programs.
November
Metacritic average rating: 78.
Middle Ages 2 years, 8 months
Total price: $ 49.98
Skinny: Nioh it was one of our top 50 games of 2017 and is a rare game that combines quality gameplay and mass market recognition with a cult-like dedication. The sequel is on track in March.
December
- Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame
- Titanfall 2
Metacritic average rating: 78.
Middle Ages 2 years, 6 months
Total price: $ 59.98
Skinny: Titanfall 2 has been one of the hottest shooting campaigns ever made for the first person to shoot, and it's timely here with the official launch of Respawn Star Wars Jedi: The Fallen Order last month. If you liked one, you would probably dig another one.
To wrap you up
Although Sony Interactive Entertainment itself stopped expanding the platform four years ago, 2019 was the year it finally took the Vt Vita to the relic and buried it in a flower garden. Dumping the PS3 from PlayStation Plus at the same time means cataloging a third of the size of the previous years, but the high quality of the PlayStation 4's deep library shines through 2019. And that's before I get to third-party sites like Nioh and Titanfall 2 to close out the year, or a well-chosen indie cohort for The evidence and The remainder Edith Finch, or sports according to the same religion Sniper Elite 4 and Conan Exiles. Overall, it was a very solid, well-balanced year for PlayStation Plus offerings. Games in Gold, with the benefits of backwards compatibility and third-party support, look ridiculous by comparison.
While Microsoft seems determined to drive everyone with its Xbox Game Pass program, especially the new console generation, it's not clear what Sony thinks about its old version on the PlayStation Plus. But this year's focus has been on fewer, better games, than highlighting the low (and often drawback) price of the catalog, instead drawing attention to a number of topics beyond paying the $ 60 subscription fee itself. There is a price every month for 2019.
