First time I've played Unfinished Swan, and it's amazing!
There seems to be an interesting game behind Ether One. Too bad it's a technical mess right now.Sony should ensure that their Plus-offerings are polished to a certain degree, but that's the risk when you put a game on Plus on release day. They should have released it a month or so later.
Hohokum is very good and relaxing. Murasaki Baby seems nice and Race The Sun is okay. so it's a better month for me than the last, when I only really played Monster Bag.

I played the PC version a year ago and encountered 1 bug, which I was shocked at cause the team is very small
but using unreal 4 + working with PS4 is a slightly different beast I've only encountered 2 major bugs so far, a couple of random crashes (which hasn't corrupted my save so I was able to load back in to where I was) and I got a random framerate drop in the
Industrial area
There are a good few places where there is no collision, and you can get permanently stuck if you do run off into the ocean or run through some of the rocks leading up to the next area.
So yeah it's easy for me to say cause I know where to go and how to solve the puzzles (which are very hard once you get into it!) but as long as you don't try to jump on and over things & run into every wall/rock/railing etc you come across you should be ok, I've been lucky so far with the corrupted save issues as I haven't had any.
Oh yeah and the loading screens can take longer than bloodborne pre-patch
even the spinning pinwheel freezes at times, just leave it and it will load, I swear!

Started my downloads last night, but only had about half an hour overall to screw around before going to bed.
Race the Sun was the only game that fully installed of the bunch, and I feel that the concept would've been a hit back in the old Atari days. To me it's more of a "time waster", but even then I'd rather reach for a shmup instead. Wound up deleting it, although if it's cross buy with Vita, I can see it being a nice addition to my collection on that system.
Watched videos of the other offerings, and Hohokum looks great. Unfinished Swan looks very interesting as does Ether. Hopefully I can check them out tonight.

Really enjoying Hohokum, it's a very charming and relaxing game.

Hohokum is brilliant. My favourite PS+ title since BoI. I don't understand the "no gameplay" comments. Pretty much every screen has some kind of puzzle for you to solve and it just oozes sytle and charm. It's not just some playground/tool, there's actually something to do here. It doesn't have more or less gameplay than something like Flower, but I guess some people didn't like that either.
I made a quick video that shows one of the puzzles and one of the fantastic little clips you get as a reward.

Just got all the trophies for Never Alone. Bad game. Plays terribly. It plays like a re-skinned Max Curse of Brotherhood. Ori proves you can produce good gameplay with Unity. Devs need to put more time into it.
I enjoyed it. I didn't think it played terribly at all. Quite the opposite, in fact. It was too short to outstay its welcome, but I thought what there is of it was gorgeous and original enough to warrant my time.

I love the style and charm, but for me it didn't have enough structure or guidance. I like messing around with stuff, but sooner or later I need the game to show me what I'm actually supposed to be doing.
I do intend to return to it some time and give it another shot.
Ooo, you've just sold me on trying that first. love games that don't tell me what I should be doing.

It really is a lovely game and I would recommend everyone play it. Just wasn't really for me.

Yeah there's a big difference between dismissing everything and waiting for a patch so you can get the best experience from a game. But I plan on giving it a go anyway. Hopefully it's not as broken as some people say.Maybe give it a quick play to see

It's great, you shouldn't be disappointed. Excellent soundtrack too.
Edit: I really wish the Hohokum dashboard theme was better, whoever designs the themes for the ps4 should be fired out of a cannon into the sun.

I started Unfinished Swan and I think it's really boring. You're literally just walking around throwing paint at everything so you can see where you're going. Doesn't seem interesting or fun to me. Probably worse than Hohokum since at least Hohokum sounds fantastic and is pretty.
I also started playing Ether One and I'm really impressed. Having a lot of fun just exploring and figuring things out. Seems like a really well designed game.

So yeah, Hohokum is great. So weird and pretty and I love that are are thrown into these worlds and left to work out what to do and what the stories of these people/creatures might be.
The Unfinished Swan seems cool too. Just finished Chapter 1 but I need to dig a bit deeper.
Race The Sun doesn't feel that great. Its not bad but it just feels like any other endless runner where you just keep doing tasks from a list of 3 to level up to do more tasks.
Ether One seems kinda interesting but it's so slow moving around.
Guacamelee is fantastic and I might end up playing through it again even though I finished it at launch on PS3.

Is it just me or can I not find a camera inversion setting in Ether One? I couldn't play more than one minute of this game before getting frustrated.

I'm on my way to Platinum Sly 4 and Kingdoms of Amalur. These ps4 games just pale in comparison, Ether One DOES look good though but I heard the launch is a mess. The Abe remaster was a classic from the PSX days.

Airmech Arena is pretty fun. A cross between a twin stick shooter and a dumbed down RTS.
It seems that way at first, but if you push on the mechanics change and freshen things up. It's still just exploration but really interesting. Don't want to give too much away but I will say you should at least keep going until your throwing something other than ink, if you still don't enjoy it than put it a down, but it's more than a one trick pony.

i wasn't in love with US like a lot of people, but the gameplay mechanics are different in each chapter

unfinished swan was actually somewhat enjoyable. Got all the trophies in like 3-4 hours. So, glad I never bought it I guess

Unfinishe Swan looks and feel like it was made by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Finished hour ago. Marvellous game.
I did a YT video of the first 20 minutes, and one of the devs left a comment saying "We will have a patch available in the next few days that will fix a lot of bugs"

I just installed a big patch (couple of GBs), I don't think it will fix this. Will see.
This game got dismissed, downplayed by some in another thread...but this is like a nice surprise. I like it.
Its the first game we all played when I downloaded all the PS+ games this month and the one we played the most. And its one of the few times the entire family has played a game together....usually its just me and the kids.

Is Airmech out in EU?

I put in several hours into Race the Sun on PC. I think it's a quality game, It's not without flaws but definitely nice. I'm new to Vita but can I play custom soundtrack with this?
Why is it that my PS4 shows 2 free games, but it doesn't let me download the other free games? I know they are platform specific and whatnot, but I was able to go to the PS Store on my phone and send both The Unfinished Swan and Race the Sun to my PS4, and I can now play them on there.
Why is it I can only do this on the PS Store online, but not through the PS4's store?
And so with regards to PS Plus, anyone who's had it for a few years basically has no games to show for if they no longer still own a PS3, right? WTF is this, so weird.

I go through the PS4 store for games that are part of plus' offering but not advertised on the PS+ free games tab.
Just go through the "digital games" tab in the store and find the title, it should say "free" for the price and dl it.

Loving Hohokum. Feels like the most autistic game ever.

Ether One seemed interesting but it's really not very polished. The lack of inverted controls makes it unplayable for me
But that gold trophy rain.

I means there's a lot of carefully going over everything and making sure you touch everything that many people find tedious but I'm enjoying it.
I've had this issue lately. I'm in the UK, with a UK account. It's quite annoying.

Waow, Murasaki Baby is a great game !!
of course really short ( really, really really ) but waow, i enjoyed it.
Maybe the devs are making a bigger game for PS4 ? can be interesting

Most of the games that launch free on plus are rough or kind of busted at launch.
I wonder if the devs just skimp on the QA once they sign the PS+ deal.

I saw this mentioned a few times yesterday, but I found an 'inverted look' option under options>controls? I can't really play games without inverted Y so was worried that it wasn't an option to change it.

I think it was patched in the EU version but not in the US, among other things
