We’re happy to share the free PS4 games for PS Plus members this August! This month we look to satisfy your inner space pirate, and let you battle it out with friends in a frenzied tower builder.
First up is Tricky Towers, a new title from WeirdBeard Games. Tricky Towers is a physics-based puzzler that’s at its best when you’re competing against friends. With local and online multiplayer for two to four players, the game shines as you race to stack your tower while casting spells to disrupt your opponents. The gameplay is fast, fun, and addictive, as you’ll find yourself coming back for more. So gather your friends or join them online and enjoy the mayhem of Tricky Towers.
Next up is Rebel Galaxy. Suit up and take command in this space combat RPG from developer Double Damage. Take the helm of a massive destroyer as you make your reputation through trade, by being a work-for-hire mercenary or a swashbuckling pirate. In a procedurally generated universe, no two star systems are the same and there’s always something new to discover. So take the helm, prepare for battle, and have a blast with Rebel Galaxy.
Full lineup:
- Tricky Towers, PS4
- Rebel Galaxy, PS4
- Yakuza 5, PS3
- Retro/Grade, PS3
- Patapon 3, PS Vita
- Ultratron, PS Vita, PS3, PS4
We’ll see you in the comments section. Enjoy.
You guys want to prevent people from flocking over to PC, and yet…
You’re charging more for your walled-off service for multiplayer games
You’re not providing value for continued subscriptions with your game library lineup
First party exclusives are drying up and are worse than what were available from previous generations.
You guys are taking advantage of your “players”. IT HAS TO STOP NOW.
This is absurd. It really feels like us gamers are subsidizing Sony’s flailing..well everything else not Playstation related.
Or are we paying for them new shiny olympic playgrounds?
Remember when Steam started charging PC gamers for the privilege of playing their games online? Yeah, me neither.
PS4 plus games better start getting a whole hell of a lot better than they have been.
I have been a fan since PS1 and the way Sony is treating their fans this gen is disappointing. First Sony screw the early adopters by announcing a better PS4 2 years into its cycle. Now a $10 increase on a service without any new features or improvements except the statement “the new price reflects current market conditions”. When Xbox Live went up in price Microsoft implemented GWG. All we get is some PR bs. Xbox Live is still $59.99 in Canada and Sony want to charge us $69.99. That’s not “reflecting current market condition”. That’s milking the fans until they are dry.
