It comes but once a month and this month is no exception. PlayStation
has revealed the free PS Plus free game offerings for the month of November
2019. Players that have a PS Plus subscription can look forward to adding Nioh
(Team Ninja, 2017) and Outlast 2 (Red Barrels, 2017) to their game
libraries as of November 5th.
Both games were well received upon their releases. At time
of writing, Nioh has an 88 on Metacritic, whereas Outlast 2 has received a 68 for the console
edition. It is an interesting choice that we are receiving a horror title in the
November line-up instead of October, in keeping with the Halloween season. Never
the less, the first Outlast game is considered something of a classic in
the survival horror genre and Nioh, despite its comparisons to the Dark
Souls (From Software) titles, has garnered enough of a fan base that a
sequel is currently in development.
Nioh (Team Ninja, 2017)
Taking place in the Sengoku period of Japan, players take
control of William (who is Irish by the way) as he battles his way across Japan
in search of an evil sorcerer. Along the way he will encounter all manner of enemies
ranging from humans, animals and mystical demon creatures known as Yōkai.
You can equip swords, staffs, bows and all other manner of
weapons in his pursuit. The aforementioned comparisons to the Dark Soul titles
are very apt, anyone going into this game with experience in the genre will undoubtedly
feel right at home with the gameplay mechanics. However, there are tweaks to
what players know and veterans and newcomers shall find something that will
give them adequate challenge.
Outlast 2 (Red Barrel, 2017)
The anticipated sequel to the 2013 title, Outlast 2 follows
another journalist (yikes!) named Blake Langermann as he and his wife, Lynn,
travel to the Arizona desert in search of clues to the murder of a mysterious woman.
Their helicopter crashes and Blake must search for his wife, but he’ll have to
be careful as they’ve landed in the middle of a deranged sect who believe the
end of days is upon us.
Run, hide and do whatever you have to do to survive. It’ll
be dark, so players will have use of a video camera’s night vision in order to
see, but watch out you don’t run out of batteries or you’ll be left without any
sight and any hope!
The current PS Plus titles for October; The Last of Us Remastered
(Naughty Dog, 2014) and MLB The Show 19 (SIE San Diego, 2019) are still
available now for anyone who hasn’t yet claimed them. You can claim them
through the PlayStation store’s PS Plus tab until November 4th. But
coming into November, players should look forward to the titles on offer. Sony
have delivered a high quality offering this month and we can only hope this trend
continues.
