Explore a surreal family history told through fantastical tales, or cook up a storm with friends and family.
Greetings, PlayStation Nation! We’ll be adding two new titles to your monthly PS Plus on May 7: one is a slow-burning exploration of family tragedy, and the other a red-hot couch co-op mashup of cooking, puzzles and chaotic, laugh-out-loud fun.
Let’s take a closer look:
What Remains of Edith Finch
From the creators of The Unfinished Swan, the award-winning What Remains of Edith Finch is a highly original and often surreal experience. As the last of the cursed Finch family line, visit your family’s old family home and discover more about your relatives’ untimely deaths through unique interactive storytelling.
Sombre, thought-provoking and at times deeply moving, What Remains of Edith Finch is one of this generation’s most understated gems. If you missed it the first time around, now is your chance to experience it. Winner of Best Game 2017 from the British Academy Games Award (BAFTA), Best Narrative award at the Game Developers Choice Awards 2018 and more, developer Giant Sparrow’s follow up to their debut release, The Unfinished Swan, is a truly a special experience.
Overcooked!
Built specifically with local co-op play in mind, Overcooked! is a fun, frantic and often hilarious experience for up to four players. You and your friends will join forces to become a team of chefs and work against the clock to turn out dishes for hungry customers. With a strong emphasis on teamwork and timing, you’ll need to communicate with each other to chop vegetables, fry steak, stir sauces, plate-up finished meals, and more — all without the kitchen catching fire!
With its cute and colorful stylings, huge range of dishes and kitchen layouts, easy controls, accessible gameplay and a focus on silly, over-the-top antics, Overcooked! is the perfect party game for gamers and non-gamers alike. Play solo or enjoy couch co-op and competitive modes for up to four players.
Both What Remains of Edith Finch and Overcooked will be available to download from PlayStation Store on May 7.
In the meantime, you still have a few days left to pick up April’s two PlayStation Plus titles. Conan Exiles is a wholly unique take on the survival RPG genre that transports you back to the very dawn of civilization, while The Surge is a brutal and rewarding action-RPG journey through a dark sci-fi dystopia.If you haven’t downloaded these yet, fear not: both will be available to download for PS Plus members until May 6.
Seriously folks. If you don’t like the service stop paying for it. It is that simple. The amount of entitlement going on here is ridiculous. Over cooked is an excellent game. What do you people want? God of war? Spider man? If the service is too expensive and not a good value proposition stop paying for it and take that extra money and buy games that you want to play. Problem solved. Then the rest of us don’t have to read all this negativity because Sony didn’t offer red dead redemption 2.
As people have said many times before, vote with your wallet.
Your complacency certainly helps nothing, but okay.
You guys have been complaining for years. And Sony continues to do what they want. Again. You can change the system by cancelling your sub. More people who do it maybe Sony will take notice. But people won’t. Because overall the ps plus service is great.
Seriously, get over yourself.
It’s not entitlement at all. I do see quite a few people white knighting in defense of a corporation’s anti-consumer antics. These games are not some kind of free gift to loyal fans from Sony. They are discounted games, called “free” to distract customers away from the fact that Sony threw up a paywall in front of the internet service that customers already pay their ISP for.
Consumers have every right to complain about the products and services they purchase, and they should do so.
All of that being said, you are right about folks only just complaining. To all of those unhappy folks out there: Sony doesn’t care. At all…not even an eensy weensy bit. Sony is not your friend or casual gaming pal. Sony is a corporation, a public corporation that must increase profit every quarter in perpetuity. This means rising costs, with less value, and if you complain here, with an active subscription, it will be ignored.
Want to effect change? Cancel your service and don’t subscribe again until the service is worth it, and convince others to do the same.
Riiiight, paying an extra fee to be able to play multiplayer is so fantastic. You live in a world of fantasy, clearly, so what would you know. :D
If you don’t like the comments, don’t scroll down; it’s that simple.
