Cool trailer PlayStation Plus free games on November 2016


1. BlazBlue Chronophantasma Extend
Platform: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita
Genre: Fighting
My Personal Rating: 9/10 (Recommended)

This version is revamped version improved with Guard Gauge system, players will determine when to attack/block using the Barrier Gauge meter. They can dish out super-powerful Guard Crush attacks when their opponent's Barrier Gauge is low with the revamped Guard system.

The story mode takes some getting used to, but it's engrossing once you do. It's very lengthy and very well voice acted. One of the best parts about this game is that it has an excellent tutorial mode that explains pretty much everything you need to know about not just the game, but fighting games in general. It explains what a mix-up is, it explain what a wake up is, it explains the advanced stuff of a fighting game and the challenges mode teaches you how to do the combos for each character.

There really isn't much wrong when it comes to this game other then the balancing being a bit skewed, and the story being a bit tough to swallow, but overall, Chrono Phantasma Extend is a fantastic game and one of the best 2D fighting games on a console.

This PS Plus free title includes all languages so english will be included. Don't worry, please watch the gameplay video here


2. Saints Row IV Re-Elected
Platform: PlayStation 4
Genre: Action Adventure
My Personal Rating: 8/10 (Recommended, So Much Fun)

After you got Saints Row Gat Out Hell for free last month, this month finally you got SR 4 for free!

Saints Row IV Re-Elected finds you leaping over buildings, singing songs, fight in a 2D side-scroller, cure cancer, save Santa Claus. All this and more awaits you when you play Saints Row 4, a special bundle that includes old SR IV and all of DLCs. After saving the world from a terrorist attack the leader of the 3rd Street Saints is elected to become President of the United States. Things go reasonably well for The President until an alien warlord named Zinyak attacks the white house and abducts his entire cabinet. Now stuck inside a reality bending simulation, the President and the Saints fight to save themselves, Earth, and the entire galaxy.


3. Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
Platform: PlayStation 4
Genre: Action
My Personal Rating: 8/10 (Recommended for who love Exploring)

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is basically narrative exploring video game with a fantastic and beautiful world. This was a hauntingly beautiful experience. Interaction is minimal, you walk around a small town in Shropshire, England discovering remnants of stories filled with relatable and personal themes. The art direction is fantastic, the soundtrack is gorgeous and the stories that it weaves made me tear up many times.

I cared deeply for the characters, the writing was excellent yet humble. To summarize I'd say it's not going to appeal to everyone, it's a walking simulator that's heavy on contextual story but without any other gameplay bar exploration, what I will say is the length was actually longer than I expected, though this may be in part to a criticism I have over the ploddingly slow walking pace also the performance could be better with frame dips quite frequent. I found it beautiful and compelling

Please take a look a walkthrough video


4. Pumped BMX +
Platform: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita
Genre: Racing
My Personal Rating: 7/10

Pumped BMX + is a fast platformer that revolves around controlling your BMX bike and doing as many tricks as you can without crashing, while riding towards a finish. This game sees the player riding left to right across the screen attempting to perform tricks in order to complete certain challenges. It's relatively fun comparing such as Trials Fusion, but it is lacking in terms of level design and therefore won't offer all that much longevity.

Gameplay-wise it's similar to another popular indie game, OlliOlli too. The controls felt really great, speed control is handled with one button, left stick is used for balancing and right stick is used to do specific tricks in the air. The game is responding to every button press precisely and I haven't seen any problems related to possible bad latency.


5. Lumines Electronic Symphony
Platform: PlayStation Vita
Genre: Puzzle
My Personal Rating: 9/10 (Recommended Puzzle Game)

Tetris has met its match. Lumines Electronic Symphony is a painstakingly scrawled love letter to puzzle games and electronica of every stripe. For the first time in the series, special new block mechanics give players additional strategic options. Clear huge block combos using the powerful Chain Block, and learn to master the randomizing powers of the Shuffle Block. Star-studded musical line-up. Featuring some of the best and brightest names in electronic music, the soundtrack for Lumines Electronic Symphony is a diverse selection of known artists as well as original tracks composed by Q Entertainment's sound team, providing the ultimate aural experience.

This is easily the best game in the series and one of the most recommended buys of the launch portfolio of the PSVITA. It doesn't make the most of the console technical prowess nor uses imaginatively any of its touch control possibilities, but it is a puzzle game that fans of the genre will love for months.

Please take a look another version of review from IGN about Lumines


6. Beyond Good & Evil HD
Platform: PlayStation 3
Genre: Action Adventure
My Personal Rating: 9/10 (Recommended)

Beyond Good and Evil is one of those titles that acquire a huge reputation from hardcore gamers but wasn't a commercial hit, like Okami for example and as we wait for the long time announced sequel we can enjoy this remastered version.

Technically honestly the game doesn't look much better than the original therefore if you still have your copy and console the HD version isn't very interesting but at least the game has no bugs, and a steady frame rate. Unfortunately the game also suffers from its camera during the fights which is probably the biggest flaw of the game and some fights are really messy.

The rest of the game is awesome, the infiltration is clever, there is a lot of diversity during the game and you'll never get bored. The universe is enchanting and original with a rather clever story that will end a bit too soon, count 10 hours to finish the game at 100%, but boy you'll not see them pass.

So all in all Beyond Good And Evil HD is still a wonderful game advisable for every one that didn't play it when it originally came out, if not it's really a great game to play with one of the best original universe created for a video game, can't wait for the sequel. And please another sequel!

Take a look this the last free title gameplay video.
