Xbox Games With Gold
January 2018 Free Games
Xbox is starting the year off right with another round of free games for Gold subscribers in January 2018. As always, there are two Xbox One games and two Xbox 360 games on offer for the month. The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III and ZOMBI are the big Xbox One games Gold subscribers can check out this month, and Tomb Raider: Underworld and Army of Two serve as the free 360 games in January 2018.
If you haven’t played Tomb Raider: Underworld, this is actually a decent one to pick up. Developed by Crystal Dynamics, the game features several quality of life improvements like dual targeting and a better inventory system. It’s not quite as polished as the reboots, but it’s still worth a look for fans of the series.
You can check out the full list of free games available for Gold subscribers in January 2018 down below:
- The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III
- ZOMBI
- Tomb Raider: Underworld
- Army of Two
PlayStation Plus
January 2018 Free Games
Sony is kicking off the new year with a really strong lineup of free games for PS Plus subscribers. The headlining title for January 2018 is Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, the follow-up to Human Revolution. While there were some issues with its level design and slightly thin plot, it’s still a pretty fantastic stealth game to dive into if you’re a fan of the genre and the Deus Ex series.
Sony is also offering the first season of Telltale’s Batman series. If you’ve any interest in a solid Batman story that focuses more on Bruce as a character, the first season is well worth playing. It’s worth mentioning that the plot really develops into something truly interesting by its second season, in which several iconic DC villains are introduced.
PS Vita owners aren’t neglected as well, as Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness makes its way into the lineup. Presented as a midquel to quite possibly the best and most thought-provoking anime series we’ve seen in the last decade, Mandatory Happiness is a visual novel that introduces three new characters, and features full voice acting from the original Japanese cast. Its conclusion might be inconsequential to the grand overarching story of Psycho-Pass, but it’s still a nice supplement to the rich lore of the universe.

- Batman: The Telltale Series
- Sacred 3
