So, I'm trying to finish as many smaller games as I can before Destiny releases House of Wolves (which might negate my opinion, I now realize) and this weekend I managed to finish The Unfinished Swan.
It really is a piece of art; truly one of the better gaming experiences I've had in awhile.
And now if anyone dares bash this game, you will get a disapproving scowl from me in your general direction. You've been warned.

Wow, Hohokum caught me completely off guard. Was moderately excited about trying it since I couldn't figure out what it was or if there is anything really to 'do' in it. Started today and lost track of time, poured more than a couple of hours into it before I had to stop and now I can't wait to go back. Absolutely loved to move around and do those small puzzles. I don't think it's just simply an audiovisual experience at all; I felt very engaged playing it. Very surprised, pleasantly so.
The Unfinished Swan I thought about picking up a couple of times before so can't wait to sink some time into that too.

I would also like to know this!

I've come in to ask the same thing! Been looking forward to playing it, but held off because of all the issues.
Of course, I've not got that far yet. Dammit.
I enjoyed Murasaki Baby on the whole, even if the touch controls irritated me a little during some of the more elaborate puzzles. Short enough that it didn't overstay its welcome, and I didn't know
had worked on the game so that was a nice surprise at the end.
I'm intrigued by Ether One but after all these horror stories of lost progress etc I might wait.

Right now I'm stuck since one of the music boxes has not opened for me.
Hopefully they fix the glitches soon.

Never mind
Ether one: EU, second patch.
First of all I was loaded not in the place I saved and received trophy for restoring five projectors. Twist is I don't remember restoring five of them. After that game crashed twice in like 10 minutes.
This was probably last time when I booted this crap.

That seems like the most broken PS+ release so far. And US hasn't even gotten the first patch. What a mess.

Playing Murasaki Baby is such a bummer because underneath the mess that are the controls there is actually a good game with nice puzzles and good use of various "powers".
Unfortunately a game requiring precision should never, never, never use touch controls and in this case it shows once again how terrible is that combination. Backtouch + turning Vita upside down + touchpad on the front = frustrating situation because more often than not something will not work as intended and you feel upset because the shitty controls killed you not the lack of skill.
Removing the backtouch use would be a nice way to start (just have those colors selectable with a touch on the front screen, better than scrolling through all of them to find the right one with the backtouch).
Maybe they got some help from XDev if they used every Vita feature but if they didn't they missed a great opportunity. It's sad because bad games you end up not caring about them but this one could have been a good game. Sadly it's just a mess.

Agreed. Murasaki Baby was a pretty fun game experience that was severely hindered by the controls. I do disagree on the Twisted Twins level, though. That was the one level where everything worked for me and it was pretty fun. The only problem I had was using backtouch and occasionally getting the kid to move was a pain in the ass.
I hope I can find the time to play through Ether One, Unfinished Swan and maybe Guacamelee. I don't want to throw them in my backlog.

Well, the patch broke all of my save files... but it does at least mean that the platinum's achievable now.
Fortunately I wasn't too far into the game (I got back to where I was in about half an hour), so I'm giving it one more chance.
Oddly, the five projectors trophy topped for me shortly after resotring the first of my new post-patch game. I'd only restored one in my earlier file. It seems that I'm not alone either: http://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/5146141-post25.html
They're supposed to keep them for at least six months. You won't be able to access the cloud saves until you resub, but they should be there when you do.
Great! Thanks.

Account sharing is still available although they have reduced the number of systems to two of each kind, i.e. 2 PS4, 2 PS3 and 2 PSP/PSV.

Really? but i logged in with my friend's account on my ps4, downloaded olli olli, logged with my account (primary) and the console said I'm not eligible because i don't bought the game, what I'm doing wrong?

Then you have the play the game with his/her account.

There is a bug preventing some players from unlocking trophies. I got all of them myself, but I read in the big PS+ thread that other players had issues with it.

That's not sharing like the old times =d
Your console needs to be primary console for the Account, so you can play the games on/offline and with your own account. Your friends needs to be online and logged in with the "buyers" account, otherwise he wont be able to play his games.

Other accounts can only play PS+ games if the system is activated as the primary unit.

Sharing "like old times" doesn't work anymore. 2 PS4s can be attached to one account, and only one of them can be set as "primary". The primary console can play games on all other accounts on the system, the other can only play them when it's logged in to the shared account.
Yeah, they changed it so people actually pay for their damn games. Horrific I know.
no but you will have to redownload the downloaded games again ..

I had to replay the whole game with my vita "offline" in airplane mode and they then popped. Not sure if this is the only fix, but i read it somewhere and it worked for me.
For me, I had to start the game, close it, and then start it again to earn Trophies. First trophy should pop during first five minutes so you know if it works or not.
In any case, there is something wrong with the Plus version according to developers.
Thanks for the info! Gonna try some of your tips. It's a fast one to replay.

Is there a way on the sony store website to see when your ps plus expires?

Go here https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com, check on the "Media" tab that has all your downloads and look at the date your PS+ games expire. That's the only way, sadly.

Cool, thanks. I don't know why sony makes it so difficult to check still. I still have a couple months left thankfully.
Thanks. Leave it to Sony to make it convoluted.

Please don't start with this shit again
Try guac. I'm disappointed in the bugs of ether one, and I thought race the sun was dull, but I'm enjoying playing guac with my buddy despite already playing the original. They added some new stuff to mix it up!
