PS Plus August 2014 Free Game Preview: Newest Title Lineup For Playstation Plus Members
Each month Playstation Plus members get the chance to download free games that range from classics to latest series titles. Recently, on Playstation's US blog, a post revealed the titles that members can expect to see on the list for Playstation Plus during the month of August.
The blog summarized the titles on their corresponding consoles that will be available in this short blurb, "This month our PlayStation Plus members will receive two games free the day they release on PlayStation Store - Road Not Taken on PS4 and Metrico on PS Vita. In addition to these titles, members will receive other popular games like Fez on PS4, Crysis 3 and Proteus on PS3 and Dragon's Crown on PS Vita."
Short descriptions of the games were also available for fans who have not heard of the featured titles before.
Road Not Taken (PS4) is "a roguelike puzzle game about surviving life's surprises. You play as a ranger adventuring through a vast, unforgiving forest in the aftermath of a brutal winter storm, rescuing children who have lost their way."
The game involves randomly generated levels so players can expect some replay value. Also, the actions that the player takes not only affect their own storyline, but the other non-playable characters around them.
Fez (PS4, PS3, PS Vita) players will control the character "Gomez [who] is sent out on a journey that will take him to the very end of time and space. Use your ability to navigate 3D structures from 4 distinct classic 2D perspectives. Explore a serene and beautiful open-ended world full of secrets, puzzles and hidden treasures."
Crysis 3 (PS3) is a highly-acclaimed and super popular first person sandbox shooter game. In this edition, players scour "New York City [which] has been contained in a giant nanodome and grown into a unique rainforest with seven distinct environments."
Proteus (PS3, PS Vita) "is a game about exploration and immersion in a dream-like island world where the soundtrack to your play is created by your surroundings. The primary means of interaction is simply your presence in the world and how you observe it."
Metrico (PS Vita) is "A living world filled with infographics that react directly to your movement, actions and input. Metrico invites you to explore, experiment, test your skills and most of all: think outside the box."
Dragon's Crown (PS Vita, PS3) "Dragon's Crown is a multiplayer hack and slash beat 'em up game with breathtaking visual style, a design built around cooperative play and epic boss fights, and the ability to discover a new adventure in every play session."
This game allows up to four players to play online in an attempt to clear out dungeons full of monsters.
