PlayStation Plus hasn't felt essential recently. Look no further than February's offerings: the troubled Payday 3, High on Life, and Pac-Man World: RePac. I write about video games for a living and I had no idea that Pac-Man one existed. But March? Next month is looking fierce. PS Plus' next round of free games gives us Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, and Sonic Colors.
The latest Dragon Age launched in October, and didn't sell well enough to meet EA's lofty expectations. What they're doing to Bioware is criminal, but that's a column for another day. PS Plus subscribers are getting a AAA roleplaying game from four months for absolutely free.
Join forces with seven different companions to decide the fate of Thedas in real-time action-based combat. Lots of fans are calling this one a return to form for the series. Sadly, it may be the last Dragon Age we get for a while.
The Cowabunga Collection features a whopping 13 titles from the Turtles' heyday in the 90s, including TMNT: The Arcade Game, Hyperstone Heist, and of course, the legendary Turtles in Time. Thirteen classic games for free? Please sign me up. There's no reason not to play this if you even kind of like beat 'em ups.
Sonic Colors drew some of the best reviews of any game featuring the beloved blue hedgehog recently. Sonic isn't a werewolf, a knight or an Olympian this time. Wait for it: he just goes fast. The evil Dr. Robotnik has created an Interstellar Amusement Park, using the powers of an alien race known as the Wisps. Save them and use their skills to free the galaxy from Robotnik's evil plans.
