The free PlayStation Plus games for August 2022
PS Plus subscribers can look forward to three titles again in August. There is also a sequel to a real classic and a very new title. By the way, all content can be called up again this time with the PlayStation 4. But what good are the games? TECHBOOK has summarized reviews and player ratings.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 (PS4 + PS5)
This is a remaster of the popular games from the 90s and early 2000s. Skater fans get various courses and also well-known features from some of the later parts. A lot of well-known names from the scene are available as avatars.
Both critics and players praise the remastered version and emphasize that it has very successfully captured the characteristics of the old games and developed them in a modern way. At Metascore, the game holds a rating of 89 or 8.7. Normally, the game for PlayStation 4 and 5 costs 44.99 euros.
Yakuza: Like A Dragon (PS4)
The role-playing game developed by Sega is the eighth part of the “Yakuza” series. In addition to the exciting main quest about the machinations of the Japanese Yakuza, players can complete a wide range of side tasks. There is a lot to experience on the map, which has been worked out in detail, via exploration tours, kart racing games and karaoke.
Critics and players also agree on this game, which is available free of charge as part of a PS Plus subscription. Among other things, the bizarre humor, the versatile combat system and the graphic design are praised. For many, it’s even the best game in the popular series overall, with a Metacritic score of 84. The game normally costs €59.99 on the PlayStation Store.
Little Nightmares (PS4 + PS5)
The horror game Little Nightmares confronts a lot of childhood fears as well as subtle shockers. The protagonist is a little girl named Six who is trapped in the dark “Maw”. On her way out she not only encounters a lot of sinister creatures. She is also herself increasingly corrupted by the darkness around her.
In addition to the beautiful, atmospheric design, critics and players also praise the storytelling. Unfortunately, the game is played through quite quickly. Overall, there is still a meta score of 78 or 8.1. In the PlayStation Store, the horror fun actually costs 19.99 euros.
