Dealabs has consistently posted the correct PlayStation Plus titles in advance of Sonys formal announcement each month this year.
As for the titles coming our way, well, Digital Foundrys John Linneman had this to say about Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1+2 on its release: “Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1+2 is one of the best games of the year and its my personal favourite release from Activision across the entire console generation”. High praise indeed!
Meanwhile, even though Malindy did not award Yakuza: Like a Dragon a Eurogamer badge on its release, she did praise the games “impressive JRPG makeover”.
As a side note, we recently got to see a little peak at Yakuza 8, with Like a Dragons Ichiban Kasuga sporting a new do for the upcoming release.
Last on the list (but by no means least on the list) is Little Nightmares, which Eurogamer did give a Recommended badge to. Edwin called it a “masterpiece of meat and malice” that can be “swiftly consumed but with a lingering aftertaste”.
Well update when Sony makes this list official.
