February Brings a Few Nifty Free Games for PlayStation Plus Subscribers

PlayStation Plus has been quite pleasant this month by serving us some free, well-known treasures. The free games list for the month of February are as follows, beginning with the PlayStation 4 games:

Transistor

By the creators of Bastion, Transistor is a unique action-strategy game under the science-fiction genre. The art style is beautiful, the gameplay has been claimed to be fluid, and the music has snuggled in the lists of favorite video game soundtracks.



Apotheon

The game, which has been released today, is a very stylistic game set in Ancient Greek Mythology. It is considered an Indie action platformer in 2D. The reviews have been quite positive on the Internet, and the fact that it is free for PS Plus users is quite a treat, considering the games price of $12.74 on Steam.



PlayStation 3 users will be able to download these games:

Yakuza 4

This game, like the other Yakuza series, has been deemed great by many players. The game introduces four playable protagonists whose stories intertwine the more the game unfolds. The protagonists must handle the challenges they face as they venture into Tokyo's red light district. Honestly, I wish that I had the chance to play this, and I did for awhile, but I had unfortunately sold my PlayStation 3. This game is a must to at least check out.



Thief

This game has suffered from the overhype collapse. I have been curious about the game, but because of the mediocre scores I have heard, I have been avoiding it. I'm sure people are in the same boat, so now is the time to download the game for free without regret.



The last is one game for the poor, neglected Vita:

Kick & Fennick

I... don't know how to begin with this. Quite frankly, I haven't even heard news about this game, and it has been released today. According to the PlayStation Blog, "... Kick & Fennick is a game about a little boy with a very big gun. Any normal boy would leave the gun for the big kids to play with, but when our heroes meet and Fennick saves Kick from trouble, they notice Fennick's energy core is broken and embark on an adventure to the Core Tower in search of a new battery."

My reaction after reading this: What?

Either way, it's a relaxing and fun platformer, so it'd be interesting to at least try on the Vita.



And finally...

Rogue Legacy

The rogue-like sidescrolling platformer will be available for all three PlayStation platforms. You play as characters with different physical issues, such as blindness.



Here's the added bonus for the month, at least temporarily:

Players can finally have access to the beta of Battlefield Hardline. The beta is open, so give it a try and discuss your experience with your friends.

This month looks very good for the PlayStation 3 and 4, at least. Let's hope the Vita gets a bit more love next month.
