Plus, La-Mulana EX, Xeodrifter and Teslagrad
The PlayStation Plus community has spoken, the votes have been counted and we can now reveal the game you have chosen to be part of your Monthly Games line-up is… Grow Home
We hope you’ve enjoyed the first Vote to Play campaign and we look forward to running it again in the future.
We’ve got lots of other goodies coming your way this month so let’s get straight into the games!
Grow Home (PS4)
Grow Home is the story of BUD, a Botanical Utility Droid sent on a mission across the galaxy to seek out a new species of flora to help oxygenate his home world. He finds the perfect specimen in the Star Plant. You’ll help the plant grow as you climb to the top. Along the way you’ll travel through a series of floating islands, crafting your own playground in the sky.
Super Time Force Ultra (PS4 and PS Vita)
Next on PS4 comes time-travelling, bullet-spraying, rocket-launching, explosion-filled platformer Super Time Force Ultra. Half the fun of STFU comes from controlling a cast of powerful, kooky and sometimes downright bizarre characters. The talented team at developer Capybara Games has already revealed that Shuhei Yoshida himself is playable but Shu didn’t come alone! In fact, he brought a few very close friends exclusively to PS4 and PS Vita. Make sure you check out this crazy cross buy extravaganza!
Twisted Metal (PS3)
The demented ringmaster known only as Calypso has returned to host another macabre circus of turbo-charged destruction and you are invited to compete! Join an infamous cast of characters including Sweet Tooth, Doll Face and The Preacher, and get behind the wheel of some of the most violent vehicles imaginable. Follow the dark and twisted stories of the tournament contestants in the cinematic single player game or take the madness online and compete in a variety of multiplayer modes.
Teslagrad (PS4 and PS3)
Next up, a 2D puzzle-platformer where electromagnetic powers are the key to discovering the secrets kept in the long abandoned Tesla Tower. You play as a young boy who finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy involving a despotic king who has ruled with an iron fist for years. Armed with ancient Teslamancer technology and your own ingenuity and creativity, your path lies through the decrepit Tesla Tower and beyond.
La-Mulana EX (PS Vita)
A combination of classic 2D platforming, Metroidvania-style adventuring and challenging action gameplay, La-Mulana EX takes you deep into ancient ruins on a quest to discover not just valuable treasure, but the secret to life itself! Fight monsters, uncover clues, collect weapons, spring traps and battle huge bosses. But watch out! No-one who’s entered the ruins before has come out alive… can you succeed where others have failed?
Xeodrifter (PS4 and PS Vita)
Finally this month, Xeodrifter, a classic action-adventure game where you control an astronaut whose spaceship is damaged by an asteroid, and must visit four nearby planets in order to repair it.

Time force! Amazing! Great month just for that!
Finally, NES time for sony systems. Worst PS+ Line up of all time.
For me, as an (adult) PS4 owner, I don’t feel stimulated -_-
For you perhaps. I was thinking it’s one of the best in a long time. A lot of fun games here.
You don’t like 8-bit retro style games. I like them. : )
So as an adult, what games were you expecting?
They say, they want to offer variety with PS+ and yet i see 4 more pixel art indie platformers like every other month before it. lool
Wow, what a whine bag this Spacedelete is. PS Plus didn’t start on the PS3 until June of 2010, almost 4 yrs ater the PS3 released, so it had more than enough time to give you triple AAA games, whereas its not even 2 years on the PS4 yet. Hence why you’re not seeing AAA games yet. You think the competition is doing any better by giving away a bunch of old last gen 360 games? It costs more money ($60 vs $50 and gives you less games 4 vs 6). So you’re ludicrous! Now I agree that I would prefer AAA to Indies but you gotta give it enough time for the Pubs to feel comfortable giving them away.
@Yo-D The only difference is, now PLUS is mandatory for online.. On ps3 it was optional.
As such, any demands for AAA are more than justified and way overdue.
Or what, did they expect their entire online community to be into nothing but indies?
Sorry for all PS+ new comers.
Stonesthrow is absolutely right. But I guess because subscription is mandatory for PS4 online play, that’s why Sony feel they don’t need to bother with providing good titles for current gen or last gen. Not like PSN is any great either. And with the hike in prices for shorter subscriptions to force people into like subscriptions, it seems Sony have stooped lower than Micro$oft with the console cash grab. So much for ‘This Is For The Players’.
PS+ is good value, just for the games. On the 12 month sub it works out as £3.33 per month which isn’t a lot. If there are any games in Plus that you’d have paid for, then you’re saving money.
Take even a cheap game – Limbo is £6.99 on Steam, never mind PSN prices, so if you Limbo was the only Plus game you cared about for the last two months, you’re still saving money. If you move up a bit Stealth Inc. 2 is £12.99 on steam, that’s almost four months of Plus subscription, so if you’d have bought the game at all you don’t need anything else to have interested you in FOUR MONTHS and you’ve basically broken even. Grow Home is great (also, not an indie game, unless we’re calling Ubisoft indies now), and it’s £5.99 on Steam, so getting it on Plus for a £3.33 subscription is a decent saving even if it’s the only thing in September you want.
Expecting to routinely get games that retail on Amazon for upwards of £25 for only £3.33 is crazy. Expecting to get 100% games that you personally care about each month is crazy. But there’s always something worth the price – PS+ is only a bad deal if you’re interested in literally none of the games for months at a time.
I agree in parts with the likes of Yo-D_da_Man and The__Ewan that when you break it down it isn’t that much and you get the chance to play games you may not normally give a go at a price that is overall very reasonable. As a ps3 owner we got spoilt slightly with the back catalogue that sony could get good prices for. sure ps+ is mandatory for online play on ps4 but that doesnt mean they can and would take the easy ride, which i’m sure they wouldnt. as Yo-D_da_Man said ps3 had a massive back catalogue, you’ve just got to give them time and lets see whether we get other stuff. I wouldnt be surprised if we get some remasters as the ps4 titles. Also i’m mindful of the fact that the vita never got the refreshed annual titles that were first touted as part of the ps+ deal. and Yo-D_da_Man you mention the prices of ps+ and xbox gold but xbox gold can be found online deals for less than the ps+ [e.g. xbox gold annual £22]
