PlayStation Plus: October 2016 Free Games

A classic horror game for Halloween, and an additional great variety !

Today on the Official PlayStation blog, a post was made announcing the free games that will be available for the month of October.

Here is the full lineup :

Resident Evil (PS4)

The game that defined the survival-horror genre is back! Check out the remastered HD version of Resident Evil.

In 1998 a special forces team is sent to investigate some bizarre murders on the outskirts of Raccoon City. Upon arriving they are attacked by a pack of blood-thirsty dogs and are forced to take cover in a nearby mansion. But the scent of death hangs heavy in the air. Supplies are scarce as they struggle to stay alive.

Transformers: Devastation (PS4)

The TRANSFORMERS are back, and this time they’re in the hands of acclaimed developer PlatinumGames, who has married their over-the-top brawler action with comic book inspired art to create a TRANSFORMERS game like none other.

– Surprise the enemy: PlatinumGames signature fast action allows instant robot to vehicle attacks, slam downs, counterattacks, and infinite combos for a unique master combat system.
– Five playable AUTOBOTS: Wreak havoc on the DECEPTICONS as OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE, SIDESWIPE, WHEELJACK and GRIMLOCK.
– Actors from the original TV series: Reprising their roles are Peter Cullen (OPTIMUS PRIME), Dan Gilvezan (BUMBLEBEE), Frank Welker (MEGATRON and SOUNDWAVE), and more.
– Play again and again: 5 difficulty levels with overhauls in enemy composition, combined with a deep customization system, means hours of intense gameplay.

Mad Riders (PS3)

Mad Riders™ is an adrenaline-fueled off-road arcade racing game that sets new standards for the racing genre on PlayStation®Network. Perform aerial stunts, use your boost wisely, and open shortcuts to dominate your friends on 45 tracks in stunning tropical locations across the globe. The game’s breathtaking speed and stylized gameplay allows players of all skills to instantly pick up on the fun, while the competitive multiplayer and customization options will keep you coming back.

From Dust (PS3)

Discover a unique Modern God game where nature is the star: From Dust™, the latest original concept by Eric Chahi, visionary creator of Another World.

Behold the beauty of a primitive world and face the might of nature.
Beware the danger of a constantly changing world under your command.
Control the destiny of a tribe struggling to survive and help it recover its ancestors’ lost powers.

Immerse yourself in a world as exotically beautiful as it is dangerous. A universe where Nature reclaims what is Hers; and you are your people’s only chance of survival.

Code: Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~ (Vita)

Restricted to an abandoned mansion on the outskirts of London in fulfillment of a promise to her father, lonely Cardia lives day to day isolated from the world. Her body carries a deadly poison that rots or melts anything her skin touches, prompting the locals to call her a “monster.”

Play as Cardia, a beautiful young woman whose poisonous touch means imminent death, and unravel the secrets of her past with the help of five charming guys!

Actual Sunlight (Vita)

“I know what you’re thinking: Why keep getting up, day in and day out, even though your life is going nowhere?”

Notorious: Widely considered to be one of the bleakest and best-written experiences in indie gaming, Actual Sunlight challenges you to confront the life of Evan Winter: An overweight, lonely and severely depressed young professional.

Fear the words, not the reading: Presented almost entirely in text, a mixture of sharp observation and pitch black humor captures your interest from provocative beginning to shattering conclusion.

Prepare yourself: Actual Sunlight is a uniquely unforgettable adventure that will etch itself into you as one of the most difficult, haunting and beautiful experiences you have ever had as a gamer.

Again, I am very happy with next month’s games.  Horror game for Halloween? Check! Fun action game (with Transformers)? Check! With also adventure, racing, a visual novel and an emotional game… wow, a great variety for those like me who have the three consoles.  Are you as satisfied as me? Will you be playing those games? Let us know in the comments and forums.
