Not a great month for me as I own most of these, but solid line up for those who don’t.

Sony….where ratchet games on PS+ Premium? The PSP ones don’t count.

For any Gundam fan, I suggest giving SD Alliance a try. While the SD design might not be your cup of tea, it's surprisingly one of the better Gundam games out there.

Ragnarok on ps plus thats actually wild 😳 sony usually tight asf with 1st party games on subs

Somewhat wild. The games 2 years old at this point. It still sells fairly well, but my guess is they have more God of War content planned and they want people as invested as possible.

Wouldn't be surprised if we get Greek Saga announced this year, hopefully a remake and not a remaster.

It's weird we haven't heard anything about the Amazon show, but they did just change showrunners, so we're not super close to a release. We're probably 2 years out.

IIRC Anno Mutationem is one of the first PlayStation China Hero games which released from the program. Has a very gorgeous pixel art and the cyberpunk aesthetics are chef's kiss. Def worth a try, or at least check noisy's pixel review and see if it's something up your alley.

Wait hold on Indiana Jones released in 2009 for PSP/PS2/Wii but not PS3/360. That's weird.

If it's any good and has trophy support I might give it a hot.

Some pretty neat stuff in there. On Extra tier Anno Mutationem is one I've had my eye on before.

Medievil 2 is cool. Got excited when I saw Indiana Jones as I thought it was Emperors Tomb which I have fond memories of on PS2. Never heard of Staff of Kings, is this one any good?

None of those classics were ever released in Japan, can we please get any Boku no Natsuyasumi and Gunparade March, already?
Somewhat wild. The games 2 years old at this point.
Looking at Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and The Last of Us Part I, that seems to be the strategy. Horizon Forbidden West got there in just 1 year and we know that was Sony experimenting.

I'm still angry that Sony delisted Horizon Forbidden West.
Would be cool, to see it back again.
But yeah, i can play Death Stranding, Ratchet & Clank, The Last of Us Part I+II etc. because of PS Plus. Even when i've to wait a bit, is it a great catalog.

Even when a few months are terrible..
 
1-2 years after the release seems to be a perfect time. At least for EA Play and PS Plus.
Except based on Sony's own metrics 1 year cost them millions in sales. So no it doesn't seem to be the perfect time. 2 years maybe. Only Sony would really know though because they can track how well a game is selling and for how long.
