More than just being a great game, which certainly would have been enough, it encapsulates what free PS Plus games need: a strong opening. The controls are tight and responsive, the world and its dwarf leads have a ton of character and charm, and everything feels balanced for both functionality and fun. Assuming the role of one of four character types, squadding up with three other friends/strangers (or getting paired with a robot companion while soloing), and hitting the mines FPS-style is an experience of simple joys and great rewards.

More than being just a great time killer, one of this month’s offerings has really made me think about the value a free, pre-selected game can offer.ĭeep Rock Galactic is the perfect game to pull the trigger on sooner than later if only to save it for the next time the co-op stars align.

I’d advise you not to let this month be one of those times. If you’re like me, there are even months when the games have come and gone without a download at all. If you’re a PS Plus subscriber, there’ve probably been months where you’ve waited till the last minute to snag the month’s free games. Free games are almost always appreciated, but not always reliable.
