Ah, the start of a brand new year, and we all know what that means: another 12 months of bitter PlayStation Plus disappointment! Just kidding — we're cynical, but we're not that cynical.
Anyway, January's PS Plus games have been announced, and as always, we want to know what you think. In case you missed the reveal, subscribers are getting Maneater on PS5, alongside Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Greedfall on PS4. We reckon that's a pretty solid lineup, but again, it's your opinion that matters.
So, whether you're happy or you're fit to burst with pure rage, vote in our polls, and then feed us your honest thoughts in the comments section below.

Best month for me in quite a while.
Let's hope they keep up this quality of games from now on!
I'm absolutely furious. Incandescent with rage. I've just flipped the table over in my kitchen and thrown the Christmas tree into the street
I am considering giving Greedfall a go, sounds like quite a few people got on well with the narrative. Hopefully it's less buggy than it was reported to be on release as well.
@Gremio108 Well, that's one way to pack down the decorations...
Glad I didn't bought Greedfall in November...
This... Is what us British.... Like to call.... AN OUTRAGE!! 🤣
Only kidding, I think its a good month. I mean I already have all these games on different platforms, but I look at it from the value it offers as a whole. Not everyone will have all of these games and it will make some people very happy, and I'm happy for these people!! After the rubbish year we've all had some joy is really nice to see. Let it spread like wildfire!! 😃
I own the Ps4 games oh well.
Yes. Next filler article please.
Might give Greedfall a shot
Really happy with this month. I'd like to play all 3 games. I think the Plus games have got much better over the last year or so. And the extra PS5 games are a huge incentive to get the PS5 as soon as I find one in stock.
Same as most months these days, I either already own them or aren't that bothered about playing them
Any idea if we're going to be able to add Maneater to our library, for when we eventually get PS5s, if we currently only have the PS4?
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L Thanks.
Just make it cheaper to play online.
Nearly bought Tomb Raider in the recent sale so I'm happy that I didn't (thank you backlog) and will play it eventually.
I think it’s a really decent month. I own TR but it’s a great free game for others to experience. Looking forward to playing Maneater looks like stupid fun.
@RogerRoger Exactly. It's the council's responsibility now. As are the many injured people lying in the street. Did I mention I live on the fifteenth floor?
@Eldritch could you do that the last couple of months with Bugsnax and Worms Rumble? There's your answer, no need to ask 🙄
Maneater for me, but only because i have the superb shadow of the tomb raider. Great month.
@Hyperluminal They were of no interest to me so didn't even look. But cheers for the snarky reply.
@Eldritch you're welcome. Need any help chewing food? 😆😆
Looking forward to Maneater was going to buy at it some point but still have a huge backlog of games to play. Tomb raider was a bit boring and disappointing. Greedfell looks OK to kill many hours and a decent RPG.
You need some options for: I already have all games/I already have all games cause I'm dumb and have PSNOW
I’m happy because I was thinking of buying maneater. Also because I couldn’t justify having both plus and now given the game duplication and let Now expire, yet still had a few games like Greedfall I would have probably got to.
I would prefer some VR games as they are harder to find physically, but encouraged they are already adding PS5 games.
@Hyperluminal Thanks for the offer. You can eat the stuff I have no interest in... like *****.
I'm happy with them. Maneater and Tomb Raider I wanted myself.
@Eldritch you have no interest in ****? Are you sure? You sure do have a potty mouth 😆
Nope,none of this games interest me,so can we get more fighting games and jrpg's please,thats literally what this platform is well known for ,when talking about both of those genres.
Can I get greed fall free on ps5?
All 3 have caught my interest at one point or another, so yes, very happy 👍👍
@EdmereDethallow all you need is PSPLUS
@EdmereDethallow Yes PS4 games can be played on PS5 through backwards compatibility.
Maneater looks like fun, I'm curious about Greedfall and i'll have played the Tomb Raider trilogy for next to nothing as i picked up the first one for under a fiver, borrowed my brother in-laws copy of the sequel and will play shadow through plus!
@Hyperluminal I can't help it. I have Toilette's syndrome.
Look forward to giving Greedfall and Maneater a try.
@Eldritch sounds like urine trouble. Rage against the latrine!
Shadow of the tomb raider is boring, Greedfall looks nice and don't have ps5 for maneater
The only one I dan't have is Greedfall.
It will be nice to go through Maneater again on PS5 as the save doesn't transfer.
Finished Tomb Raider long ago but it's a good game. Greedfall is not something I'm very interested in but Maneater sure seems fun. I don't see myself playing it anytime soon but I'll gladly add it to my backlog lol
It's a good month but my vote was for meh just OK because I already have tomb Raider and I will try greedfall but it doesn't look like my sort of game
Extremely happy.i dont own none of them.im playing both especially excited for greedfall.word up son
I already have them all! 😢
Happy enough, yeah. I don't have a Ps5 yet but quite like the look of Maneater so will stick it in the library for the future, and wasn't fussed enough about Shadow to buy it, so at least this way I can finish off the trilogy at minor cost.
Indifferent.
I already own Greedfall, but I'm definitely curious about Maneater and willing to give SotTR another shot. Not a bad month.
@AFCC absolutely agree. I wish I could travel back in time and backhand slap myself for signing up with psnow.
Bought Greedfall a month ago, completed tomb raider when it first came out and played maneater on ps4 and found it boring. So yeah not a good month for me but overall its a really solid lineup for those who haven't played theses games
I am indifferent about this month. I want to try ManEater. I have not played it, but it seem to be good from other's comments. After the one year delay in the ps4 version of Rise of the tomb raider I lost interest in Tomb Raider. I did end up buying it on black Friday sale for like $14.99 but only put about a hour into it.
I may get to Greedfall at some point. but I got BorderLands 3, Concrere Genie, Red Dead Redemption, and CyberPunk 2077 for Christmas! I am really into CyberPunk 2077 despite the errors/restarts. I can see myself playing this for the most of January.
I have been waiting for MANEATER on Switch. So now that I get to play it first on PS5 through PS+ makes the wait worth it.
Fantastic selection!No complaints here
Really pleased with this month. 😊 Hopefully some more good PS4 games in feb to go with destruction all-stars and we’re laughing....
Great month, been a long time since the lineup had 2 games ive had my eye on at the same time!
I couldn't care less. I got loads of other games on ps 3&4 already requiring my attention. Specially dreams, Elite, Nier Automata and and mgs 4 and 5. See?
Well seeing as we can't get them yet and it's January it's *****
I'm almost always disappointed with the PS Plus lineup and don't play online, so not having a PS Plus sub gives me no reason to moan about the fact around 10 out of 12 months per year the free games lineup (only free until you stop subscribing, after all) isn't to my liking. 😁👍
Tomb Raider is a good game, greedfall looks like generic.
So far the PS5 games have all been ones I'm slightly interested in but would never actually buy which is exactly what I want from the sub, so no complaints from me. I hope that this trend continues going forward. Getting shorter unusual Indies or online multiplayer games are much more preferable for me personally as I can mess around a bit and not feel like I've wasted my money. It should be good for creativity in the industry too.
Hell yeah! Been wanting to play Greedfall for quite some time! And I have PS5 delivering within 24 hours. Can’t wait!
I've got maneater on disc on PS4, however if this saves me hearing the disc drive on my ps5 wind up, I'm happy
Compared to most months they are pretty good, but thats because the bar is pretty low. Ive played them all except the shark one so will give that a go.
Very happy about another Tomb Raider on PS+ .
That's how I get to play them for years now haha
Its a very good month, Already have Tomb Raider and Greedfall and both are very good indeed, and looking forward to Maneater, looks like great dumb fun for this time of year
Greedfall was just unleashed on Xbox Game Pass as well. I expected something good, but the acting and movement is just... terrible. Deinstalled it after fifteen minutes.
As I don't have a PS5, Tomb Raider is my highlight this month. It's a good month, although Game Pass offers so much more value for money, that I now see PS Plus as an online subscription rather than a game-giveaway. This perspective helps quite a bit preventing a disappointment.
Glad I cancelled my PS Now subscription as both PS4 games are duplicate offers
id be happier if I hadn't bought Maneater a few months ago
@costa69gr i still think there is value in PS now there are a lot of good games on there that haven't been on Plus
I already have Shadow of the Tomb Raider alas have no interest in the other two games. Anyone who doesn't have Tomb Raider should be excited. Great games.
@tameshiyaku Same xD I now have Xbox Gamepass and I understand why people are so hyped about it...every month there's some good games, nice indies too! Still, Games with Gold SUCKS compared to PS Plus...
I just wish they would merge PSPlus with Now and be done with it...
I already owned Shadow but didn't have the other two games, so this is still a good month for me personally.
