Another month, another set of PlayStation Plus games for us to download, throw in the backlog, and not play for months. But at least it’s a really good lineup this time around, coming on August 5th.
LIES OF P HEADLINES THE AUGUST PLAYSTATION PLUS LINEUP
I’ve had friends beating down my door trying to get me to play Lies of P since it came out. Of course, this was around the time I had been staying out of the Souls-like arena.
Now that I’ve fully dipped my toe into the genre, this will for sure get a look. Besides, it’s free. Free is (almost) always good.
Lies of P is based on The Adventures of Pinocchio. “In this grim reimagining of Carlo Collodi’s treasured tale, Pinocchio is trying to find the mysterious Mr. Geppetto. His journey takes him to Krat, a Belle Époque-inspired city whose humanity has been lost to madness and killer puppets. Pinocchio must battle for survival using a range of weapons and swappable Legion Arms with special abilities. He will also encounter non-hostile characters, but you will have to help him lie to fulfil his dream of becoming human.”
More Free Games for August
Day Z is another game that I’d heard about over the years but never locked in on. And as someone who loved State of Decay, putting a more hardcore slant on that in a multiplayer space sounds interesting.
“60 players must strive to endure a post-apocalyptic world populated by frenzied infected and other survivors. DayZ includes the original iconic map of Chernarus and Livonia – the dense 163 km2 map which lets players experience the hardcore survival hit in a whole new environment. With no checkpoints or saves, when you die, you lose everything and have to start over”.
The last game is My Hero One’s Justice 2. As a lapsed anime fan, I have not watched one episode of My Hero Academia. I promise I’m going to change that, I just have a lot to catch up on. But I digress. This one is an “over-the-top follow-up to the smash hit 3D arena fighter My Hero One’s Justice, makes its heroic debut! Make full use of characters’ Quirks as you clash head-to-head in epic battles across huge arenas!”
Reminder, you have until August 4th to download Diablo IV, The King of Fighters XV, and Jusant from the July offerings.
