Finally, the PS Plus games for May are known. However, players are heavily discussing the games. MeinMMO is digging into the discussion.
After a fake about PS Plus in May caused a stir , Sony has now officially announced the two games for PS Plus in May. However, not every user is satisfied with the announced games.
Which games are involved? The two games that will be available for free in PlayStation Plus starting in May are
- Farming Simulator 2019
- and Cities: Skylines.
These games are two simulations that will probably be best known to most PC gamers. However, criticism of the offering can be heard in various forums.
PS Plus in May: “Why two simulations?”
Because not everyone likes the two simulations – especially since many were still hoping for Dying Light and Dark Souls, which quickly turned out to be fake.
- User FredCHAIR writes: “Well, I thought this “leak” about Dark Souls Remastered and Dying Light was too good to be true. But at least I don’t own either of the games.”
- Flynn_The_Fox is upset: “Ouch. Why two simulations? Isn’t it clear that two different genres are better?”
- And dmitrisghost adds: “Exactly. Not to mention that many players (probably most players) are not particularly interested in simulations.”
- At least thedeaththeater1410 tries to look at it a bit more positively: “The games are really good, but both are very similar. I have no idea how well Skylines runs on the PS4, but it runs great on PC.”
Players Suggest Alternatives
What do players want? Some do not mind the simulations themselves, but the fact that both games are released in the same month. The games are too similar, and they would have preferred a simulation alongside an action game.
Another reddit user says: “How about [instead] Stardew Valley?” Others argue that the PS Plus games are actually bonafide PC games and not genuine console games.
