Why players like the PS Plus games for August
What is well received: Players are satisfied with the selection. A classic like Wipeout should be played by everyone at least once, they say.

We summarize the positive comments for you here.
- “Now they are really going all out. Last month was already good and now Sniper Elite is also included. Very nice overall.
Wipeout is also a lot of fun. It’s a game with a lot of fun factor,” writes HeinzKetchup on MeinMMO. - “I found Wipeout very fun on the PS1 back then. I have been eyeing the Omega Collection multiple times. I’m looking forward to it,” writes Kapkan with us on MeinMMO.
- “Yay…. Wipeout is completely playable in VR and sooooo crazy in that mode,” writes mo fun VR on YouTube
- “I must say, I am positively surprised by the quality of the games for August. It may not be to everyone’s taste (not mine either) but that’s okay. Keep it up ? this is the right way to keep your members,” writes Thomas Bau on YouTube.

Why players are dissatisfied with the PS Plus games for August
What bothers about the new games: Along with the praise, negative comments about the announcement of the free games with PS Plus in August also occasionally appear. You can sense frustration among the players. Particularly the racing game Wipeout or its genre is criticized in the critical comments.
- “Another racing game again? Seriously?” writes KingDanius on YouTube.
- “So Gran Turismo instead of Wipeout would have been better,” writes PlayZoHD on YouTube.
- “This is what I had to wait for? Is this how you celebrate selling 100 million consoles?” writes @br_unobezerra on Twitter
- “One racing game every month? Come on…” writes Kimchi on Twitter.
Often, it’s not the game “Wipeout” itself that is criticized. But the genre “Racing” that it represents.
On our site MeinMMO, DaayZyy writes that he is not entirely satisfied with the announcement. “The only thing that bothers me a bit is how Sony promotes it. Right now the email about it just came in and they advertise with games worth 104 euros and that I ‘unlocked’ them.
My brief search showed 20 euros per game at present, as both are already old titles or neither AAA nor indie games, so that’s okay. And I haven’t ‘unlocked’ anything, I have to pay for it.”
