May 2018 PS Plus Goodies!

A couple of weeks ago Seb decided he REALLY REALLY wanted Rayman Legends (PEGI-7).  He was saving his pocket money and telling everyone he met that was what he was doing.  Imagine his excitement when it turned out that one of May's PS Plus games was Legends!  For a while he seemed convinced someone at PlayStation had heard and were giving it just to him.  I don't think he really understands the PSPlus subscription thing..!

Rayman Legends is certainly a classy game, though.  I bought Origins on the Vita ages ago since it's one of the better Vita games.  Legends is quite different but very, very fun.  It's a strange game in that it almost looks like it is built for micro-transactions, with different worlds and unlockables, but it doesn't have them.  (Thankfully!)  Basically there are various world settings where you have to save the Teensies (little creatures living in monarchical groups) and collect Lums (bug-like creatures).  The idea is to save all the Teensies in each level and by doing so unlock more worlds.  There are also some interesting mini-games.  And you can play it (locally) co-op with up to 4 players.

Rayman has a 'trademark lack of limbs', which apparently is because it was too hard to animate limbs when he first appeared on the scene in the 1990s!  Also, he is French.  Those are my two 'facts' about Rayman.  ;-)

One of the best things about the game are the music levels, which are nothing short of genius!  A truly polished game and well worth a download.

The other games this month are BEYOND: Two Souls (PEGI-16) (which I have wanted to play, so that's good), Risen 3: Titan Lords (PEGI-16), Eat Them (PEGI-16), King Oddball (PEGI-3) and Furmins (PEGI-3).  The two PS4 games do seem to be the ones you'd want to download - at the rate things are going it isn't a great loss there won't be many more PS3 and Vita games on PSPlus...  (I mean, Risen 3 has a Metascore of 36...)
