September 2018 PS Plus Goodies!

And so, this month's PS Plus games are: Destiny 2 (PEGI-16), God of War III remastered (PEGI-18), Another World (PEGI-12), QUBE (PEGI-12), Foul Play (PEGI-12), Sparkle 2 (PEGI-3) as well as Here They Lie (PEGI-18) and Knowledge is Power (PEGI-3) (which were available before).  Another World and Sparkle 2 are also on PS3 and Vita, QUBE's also on PS3 and Foul Play is also on Vita.  If my attempted explanation of format availability hasn't confused things beyond belief!

The big hitters, then, aren't that family friendly.  But there are some other games here that are worth looking at.

Another World (PEGI-12) hardly needs an introduction. I've always admired it for its aesthetic - the animations are so fluid and the cinematics are really atmospheric.  Basically, it looks great, and when it was first released (in 1991!) it looked AMAZING.  The only problem I have with it is it's SOOOOOOO hard.  I have never managed to get very far in it.  Perhaps if I try again I will get further...

QUBE (PEGI-12) is a puzzle game that will remind you of Portal.  It's a First Person Puzzler, like Portal, and it's based around the manipulation of blocks to solve physics-based puzzles.  It has a story, which might keep you interested if you want to find out what's going on...  A decent game that's worth a play, but it's always going to suffer when compared to Portal.

Foul Play (PEGI-12) is a 'brawler action adventure' that takes place on a theatre stage.  The enemies are actors in (awful) costumes.  Instead of a health bar, the bar reflects how much the audience is enjoying your performance.  There's a lot of button mashing, but that's not a bad thing, especially if you're playing with younger kids.  I have to say it's pretty hilarious.  You can play with a friend (or family member!) locally or online.

Sparkle 2 (PEGI-3) is another puzzle game.  Basically, it's Zuma.  Which is not a bad thing.

So, family pick of the month is Foul Play.  Download it and give it a go!
