The free PS+ games lineup often includes a couple of indie titles, as well. While maybe not as expensive to purchase as some of the bigger titles, indies can still offer some excellent experiences that you simply cannot get anywhere else.

Our two predictions for this category come in the form of Jonathan Blow’s puzzler, The Witness, and the upcoming Flame in the Flood. The Witness, having released in January this year, challenges players to solve a number of different puzzles littering a vibrant and beautiful island. Each solution leads them closer to uncovering the mystery at the heart of the island, and many puzzles will teach players the skills they need to solve other ones further down the line. Considering January will be the anniversary of The Witness’ release on PS4, and how critically acclaimed the game has been, it seems like the perfect choice for Sony to kickstart their PlayStation Plus offerings of 2017 off with.

Alternatively, there’s a good chance that Sony could opt to do as it’s done before with the likes of Rocket League and other indie titles and opt to release a new title for free on PlayStation Plus. One such indie that could do exactly that is The Flame in the Flood: Complete Edition. Due to release Jan. 2017, The Flame in the Flood is a procedurally-generated game set in “post-societal America” where players control a woman and her dog. You’ll need to scavenge for supplies, craft tools, and fend off predators if you’re to survive in this tough environment. Considering the game released to a fairly positive critical reception this year on Xbox One and PC, releasing it as part of PlayStation Plus’ Instant Games Collection may help it to get it in front of players, as well as help to kick the year off with a bang.
