[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Well, here we are again. July is bringing along with it some new PS Plus titles and what a month it is! After what was looking like another lackluster month a last-minute suprise substitution makes July 2019 one of PS plus’ best months so far. Whilst you’ll only see two games on your PS Store there’s actually three titles up for grabs this month as well as plenty of deals and discounts which we’ll be taking a look at! Let’s get into this.
Detroit Become Human: Digital Deluxe Edition
If you’d have looked at the PS Plus offerings for July last week you may have been a little disappointed to see Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 as the months main game, unless of course, you’re a sports fan. We’ll it appears PlayStation has had a change of heart, as right at the last second the game was replaced with not one, but two games which I think we can all agree are far better offerings. Detroit Become Human: Digital Deluxe Edition which also comes with Heavy Rain.
Detroit Become Human is a futuristic story-driven game which could be described as an interactive movie. Set in the not too distant future you play as three different androids in a world where they want to be treated by humans as equals but society isn’t exactly prepared for that. Its controls are incredibly easy with point and click elements, a light dashing of quick-time events thrown in and plenty of branching dialogue options which fundamentally change how your game is experienced. Detroit has huge replayability, with the game basically begging you to go back and replay certain areas with different choices and it has some genuinely incredible storytelling which is not to be undermined.
Detroit is currently a PlayStation exclusive although it won’t stay that way and received glowing reviews back when it released not even a year ago. It received 78 on Metacritic, with a user score of 8.7 and IGN gave the game an 8 which seems to be the average for its review scores.
Check out the trailer below and let us know if you’re going to be giving it a try.
Heavy Rain
We’re not done just yet with Detroit however, with the digital deluxe edition of the game up for grabs PS Plus subscribers also get to play Heavy Rain, another title from Detroit developers Quantic Dream. Heavy Rain is very similar to Detroit Become Human this time however you’re tasked with tracking down a serial killer. Once again your decisions matter and can even result in the permanent death of certain characters. With multiple endings and plenty of replayability, Heavy Rain is definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already.
Heavy Rain also received 78 on Metacritic with a user score of 8.0, with IGN awarding the game 7.5. Check the trailer out below.
Horizon Chase Turbo
Our second game for July is quite a bit different from our headline title, with Horizon Chase Turbo. A little history lesson for you now, Horizon Chase Turbo seems to be a modern-day recreation of an old arcade classic named Outrun with some retro-style graphics and soundtrack to boot. The game boasts 4-player split-screen as well as a tour mode which takes players all around the world. Honestly, this is an acquired taste. If you’re a fan of racing games and like the cartoonish style then definitely give Horizon Chase Turbo a try.
The game sits at a pretty 77 score on Metacritic with a 7.8 user score and from what I can see player feedback is fairly positive. Check out the trailer below and see what you think.
That wraps it up for this month’s PS Plus games. What are your thoughts on the month’s offerings? Detriot Become Human is a fantastic treat in my opinion espcially paired with Heavy Rain and Horizon Turbo Chase is a nice little extra if your into that sort of thing.
Freebies For Free Games
The PS Plus offerings aren’t quite finished there, however, with a couple of extra goodies for some free-to-play games. There is a Fortnite trails and gilder pack, the same Apex Legends pack as last month and an exclusive free starter pack for Crossout. All worth checking out if you’re a subscriber.
