Free Games in October 2017
PlayStation Plus
Sony nails it yet again with another strong selection of free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers in October 2017. The big headlining title is, of course, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. It might be the weakest and most nonsensical entry in Hideo Kojima’s esteemed series, but it does also boast the best stealth mechanics and gameplay we’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The game runs remarkably well on the PS4 as well, and we can’t recall a time when the game ever dipped below 60 frames per second.
For horror fans, the Amnesia Collection is up for grabs. If you’re a fan of horror games like Outlast, but for some reason haven’t had the chance to check out Amnesia yet, this is pretty much where it all began. Amnesia started the trend of putting players in defenseless positions in horror games, forcing them to run and hide from enemies while uncovering a terrifying mystery. The Collection comes with the original Amnesia and its sequel Machine for Pigs.
For the PS3 and Vita brethren, we get Monster Jam Battlegrounds, Hustle Kings, Hue, and Sky Force Anniversary. Nothing too spectacular here, but Hue and Sky Force Anniversary are definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already. Hue is a vibrant and colorful side-scrolling puzzle game where you have to manipulate color palettes to progress, while Sky Force is a fun shoot-em-up title with tons of levels to conquer and items to collect.
