PlayStation Plus Free Games Review - May 2016

Hello guys, it's been 1 month since I posted my review for PlayStation Plus free games on April. I just want to make sure you all already subscribe PS+ for your own benefit. Okay let's get started~

Before you read my review, here's a trailer for PlayStation Plus free games on this month

1. Table Top Racing: World Tour
Platform: PlayStation 4
Genre: Racing
My Personal Rating: 8/10 (Incredibly Fun)

Table Top Racing - World Tour is a combat racer from Nick Burcombe, the co-creator of the Wipeout series. Get yourself behind the wheel of one of twelve fully-customisable miniature cars and attempt to master 24 race tracks in Championship mode. There is a series of Special Events to beat, or you can head online and challenge up to 8 friends to determine the ultimate racer.

Since it's amazing PS+ giveaway and if the development team get support from the community - Split screen multiplayer is top of the Updates list. Been great fun playing online although a couple of glitches - patch is in the pipeline. I'm amazed that a team of 8 developers can produce a game that's this detailed and still run at 60 fps. 

Here's a sneak peak of the gameplay video from the creator itself. Thanks for gamecreatorTV

2. Switch Galaxy Ultra
Platform: PlayStation 4
Genre: Action
My Personal Rating: 7/10

Switch Galaxy is an insanely addictive, fast-paced arcade challenge with gorgeous visuals and high quality audio. Weave your way past obstacles and enemies as you travel across the galaxy collecting Tantalum. Reach their research base on the other side of the Galaxy and you will be rewarded with their latest technology. Collect credits to spend on ship upgrades and look out for pick-ups on the track that will give you an advantage to get the best times and highest rewards.

Switch Galaxy Ultra is a fun game to play in small bursts. When you are whizzing through the tracks at great speed it is exhilarating. However, it loses its focus when it adds gameplay barriers that detract from the quick paced nature of the game. Honestly I usually don't play games like this, but it is truly addictive and insanely fast paced! 

It's a challenging game. The controls are easy to master, but the gameplay is everything but easy. And knowing that this game donates all their profits to Caudwell Children (charity)! 

Truly a great job on this game! Can't wait for another game of this developer!

3. Shutshimi
Platform: PlayStation 4 and PS Vita
Genre: Action 
My Personal Rating: 7/10 (Fun to Play)

Shutshimi is a randomized shoot 'em up about a muscle-bound fish with memory problems defending the seven seas. Defeat or navigate through waves of enemies, collecting new upgrades every 10 seconds that change up the gameplay as you battle your way through each of the game's bosses.

All in all, this is a nice harmless game. Online would've been nice, but understandably laggy. Maybe a mode where one player plays the fish, and the other a GM that spawns the enemies and shop items? 

Honestly I feel as if these days every new 'indie' game developed is made halfheartedly, and is just trying to ride on the success of popular trends. I wish these type of developers used their sideline status to try unique and interesting features. Get really ambitious and out there.

4. Sayonara UmiharaKawase +
Platform: PS Vita
Genre: Action / Platformer
My Personal Rating: 8/10 (Recommended)

Sayonara UmiharaKawase + gives Vita owners a chance to experience that game for the first time, as well as an opportunity enjoy the PlayStation version of Umihara Kawase. The end result is the most definitive release the series has had to date, and it’s readily available in North America to boot. Series fans will appreciate the fact thatSayonara features the same intricate puzzle-platforming gameplay that gave the series underground respect on the Super Famicom and PlayStation.

If you ever love 2d Platformer games, you have to try this one. Sayonara UmiharaKawase+ is 2D Platformer with a grapple hook mechanic. Game gets really hard pretty quickly. Can be fun but also frustrating. It does come with the original Super Famicom game available from the start.

As you might expect, trial and error is a huge part of Sayonara Umihara Kawase+. You’ll need to fail a lot before you’re able to figure out the correct solution, which adds a distinctive puzzle aspect to the proceedings. AND this is the challenge. If you love challenges, try this one.

5. Come on LocoRoco! Buu Buu Cocoreccho! 
Platform: PlayStation 3
Genre: Action
My Personal Rating: 8/10 (Recommended)

New LocoRoco game exclusively for PS3! Play as a butterfly and guide the cute little LocoRoco to safety. The LocoRocos respond to the environment, interact with each other, and sing along to the music. This game contains all available features on PlayStation 3 can do. Running at 1080p, LocoRoco Cocoreccho! brings all new gameplay, use of the SIXAXIS wireless controller technology, mini-games, and online rankings. Control the butterfly to guide the cute little LocoRoco to safety! LocoRoco will try to follow the butterfly wherever it goes. Full HD at 1080p – Fly around a richly detailed environment to wake up and rescue up to 200 LocoRoco. Use the SIXAXIS controller to rock, launch, and bounce the LocoRoco. Additional Mini-games - Discover three addicting mini-games.

This is recommended game for you in general take the chance and grab your PlayStation Plus subscription. Unique and clever game that definatly is worth the money it costs. We've got several hours of gameplay out of it and we still are playing it. It seems short at first but each play opens up a new 'gate' which expands the area quite a bit. Plus it has 3 mini games to find as well. My wife loves this game.

6. Bionic Commando Rearmed 2
Platform: PlayStation 3
Genre: Action
My Personal Rating: 7/10

Nathan Spencer the protagonist will make use of his trademark tool – his bionic grappling hook – to grab, swing and leap through series of lush new environments. He’ll be met by plenty of gun-toting soldiers and mechanized threats ready to give him a hostile greeting. Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 improves upon the visual achievements of its predecessor with the addition of more detailed character models, textures, and vibrant colors. New player mechanics will add another strategic layer of platforming to the overall experience and the famous bionic arm will be getting a major makeover delivering a more dynamic bionic experience to the player

Also new for Rearmed 2 are a bunch of new weapons and upgrades, many of them passive abilities, like one that will slowly regain Nathan’s health. While these additions give the appearance of a more rounded, richer experience, that’s not entirely the case. It’s nice to have these additional weapons in your arsenal, but you’re rarely forced to use them in combat. Mostly, you’ll find that you’ll need them simply to trigger things in the environment, and many times not even on mission critical paths.
