July's PS Plus Update Slashes with Strider and Teases with TowerFall Ascension on PS4

My sub expires right before these games come out. Have never played a dead space game and doki doki seems a little werid, are they worth it?

Awesome

UPDATE

Just to add to this, there's word that the Destiny Beta will be open to all PS Plus subscribers next month. The PlayStation Blog post hints to this, but it's poorly worded, so we're waiting on confirmation from Bungie before posting about it.

Yay for strider. I didn't really like dead space 3 much compared to 1 and 2 but for a ps plus download it's much appreciated

@LinkIRule Renew my friend... Greatness is here.

No thanks. I may give Lego batman a whirl at some point down the line.

I'll try Strider and I did want to try out doki doki for a while. I wont complain just yet as some these indie games that I thought were throw-away titles have actually been really great ( looking at you Thomas was alone and Stealth inc). Still holding out for Transistor to get Ps Plus discount.

This is just EU right? I haven't heard very good things about Dead Space 3 but I loved the first and enjoyed the second. I wouldn't mind getting it in the US.

@ShogunRok Destiny Beta would be nice. I'm curious about the game.

If this is the US lineup, it'll be pretty meh for me, but I'll probably play Strider eventually. I have plenty to play right now, anyway.

The US Plus Line up is the same except for lego batman being replaced with Muramasa: Rebirth

@3Above Do you have a source? I think I would love that!

More poor ps4 crap 😒

@ztpayne7 http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2014/06/25/july-2014-playstation-plus-free-games-in-north-america-include-towerfall-strider/

I think the line up is good but I already own strider and towerfall so that sucks. They really make me not want to get new psn games when they first come out.

@3Above thanks! That's really exciting for me. I was jealous when Europe got it before.

I loved Dead Space 1 and 2. I played a demo of 3 and wasn't a fan of the changes made to the series. However I'll give it a shot since it's on PS+
I remember playing Strider as a child so I'm interested in playing the new version. I've little knowledge of the other games but I'll give them a go. I need to be more ruthless with what I get from Plus and the PS store as my backlog is getting ridiculous....still haven't touched Puppeteer yet.

Personally I loved every dead space game. I saw the faults in dead space 3, but nothing beats blasting necromorphs for me

Quite happy with that bar Vita as I've already gone through Lego Batman 2. Amusing that they've already broken their own rules (two games per system) as the Vita technically gets worse offering having two while the others have three.

Pretty sweet! Looking forward to Strider & Lego Batman 2. Never played DS 1 & 2 so 3 will sit on my pile of shame for quite sometime.

UPDATE

I've updated the article to reflect this whole Destiny Beta kerfuffle.

Strider is the winner

@Incrediblebraig I'm with you there.. Not a fan of playing games before finishing their prequels. There's not really much here for me this month. Heres hoping for a better offering next month!

Not really interested in any of these titles.

Great selection of games this month. Definitely recommend DS3 to anyone. Though not as good as its predecessors, it's better than how people make it out to be. As for Strider and TowerFall, I'm really excited about both of them. High-quality indie games right there!

Are we really referring to strider as an indie game? Double helix and capcom are not my idea of indie. Strider is a really good game by the way

Great update as always, for me.

@Rapidaz And you have started us off.

This is better than I anticipated. Dead Space 3, Lego Batman and Doki Doki interest me. Just Strider and Towerfall that that aren't up my alley.

Luckily my 64GB Vita card arrived yesterday (sick of having to delete stuff to install something new), so I am in the process if filling it with juicy content as we speak. Should finally have enough space to have some music too etc, which will be great.

Cool update that (only because i haven't got any of those games & wanted to try a few of them to)

Shall pass on the psn free games this month, Glad Destiny is staying pre-order as I did it back in January and got my code etc! Played the Alpha, hoping to get into the beta... Ready for my pre order on the 9/9/14 yay!!

I was gonna pick up Doki Doki a while ago, so I'll definitely be giving that a go... everything else is pretty Meh...

I 've wanted to play Doki, Strider and Towerfall for a while, and Dead Space 3 is a fair addition. Not overly excited about it, but it's a solid release that i'll make good use of

Towefall is a HUGE missed opportunity !! Never mind its woeful 8 bit graphics why did they not include online mp? The game is branded as a 'couch' mp game. There aint NO way im spending $150 extra on DS4 controllers, just to have mp fun. And as for strider? The gameplay /enviroments are very basic and dull imo. Strider is a one button masher plop fest. I loved the original (all them Mega Drive years ago) but the remake is shiiit. Its a game that should have stayed in the past.

Really happy with the ps4 games, psvita are okay, as are ps3 games.

I'm a little surprised both games for PS4 this month are previously released titles. I know there are still a number of games set for release that have been promised as PS+ freebies, I guess none of them are ready for release yet. Anyway, I already own Strider and am not all that interested in Towerfall as it's primarily a multiplayer title.
