Games of the Month: February 2015
Transistor, is one of this month's PS Plus free PS4 game. Developed by SuperGiant Games, it was first announced during Sony's E3 conference in 2013, the game's striking art style and beautiful music captured my attention. It is RM65 on PS Malaysia store, and I got it as a free download. PS Plus membership has its privileges. :)
About two weeks later in February, Sony America did a flash sale in conjunction with Valentine's Day...many games were on sale...one that caught my eye since PS4 launch was Rayman Legends. It is a vibrant 2D platform and filled with colourful characters. It is developed by Ubisoft, directed by Michel Ancel, and released Sep 2013 on lastgen, Feb 2014 on current gen consoles. Priced at US$10 (about RM36) at the US store during the sale, compared to the normal digital price of RM125 on Malaysia store. RM36 is even cheaper than any used copy I can find locally (unless we look again in 2020)
Two games with beautiful art style and music. Transistor, isometric turn-based strategy adventure and Rayman Legends 2.5D platformer. Which one do I like more?
I prefer Rayman Legends...simple gameplay but hard to master, especially later levels with boss fights whereas Transistor relies on some extra thinking and planning, set up with the right combination of skills to overpower the enemies.
Both games are memorable experiences that are worth more than their asking prices.
Side note:
Other games that I was looking at during the flash sales were:
- Lara Croft and The Temple of Osiris, PS4 ($8.00) ---maybe this will come to PS Plus later
- Little Big Planet 3, PS4 ($24.00) --- played LBP and LBP2, skipping this one for now
