October PlayStation Plus PS4 PS3 Vita

October's free PlayStation Plus games are available now – well, in Europe at least. The goodies – which include Super Meat Boy and Broken Age on the PlayStation 4 – will be yours to download for the remainder of the month. Expect them to be available in North America when the PlayStation Store updates a little later in the day.

We've received a bit of slack for describing this month's offering as lacklustre, but we're going to take this opportunity to clarify our thoughts. Firstly, if you like this selection, then that's great. However, in lieu of bigger games, Sony has been very good at offering new releases like Rocket League of late. But while the brutal Super Meat Boy is making its PlayStation debut this time, everything else feels like it's been cobbled together without much thought at all. And we stand by that.

Of course, if you're not sure what you're getting, then in addition to the two abovementioned titles, you'll also score Kickbeat, Chariot, Kung-Fu Rabbit, and Unmechanical: Extended. Hardly an awe-inspiring offering, is it? Still, we maintain that PlayStation Plus is great value, so keep that in mind before you nail us to the cross in the comments section below.
