Was just about to post this! Wanted to be the first. Pretty solid lineup.

Vampyr might be interesting especially when it comes from Life is Strange studio, Dontnod.  NFS is meh though, not a racing fan.

I’m happy. They both seem cool games and it’s definitely a better lineup than last month’s.

Same.  But I'll take one out of two, considering I ignored both games this month.

Vampyr YES! For whatever reason I have been holding out on it every time there is a sale. Good news for me because usually I own all these free plus games way before they end up free.

It seems you Most Wanted to be first.

Pretty happy with this, been wanting to play Vampyr for some time now. I just recently finished NFS myself, it's a great month for those who haven't played either of these games.

Nothing for me, but nice variety 

[SpacebarPlays]

Soooo happy about Vampyre.

Been wanting to play it for so long but didnt want to spend more money on an ever growing backlog.

 

Payback.

Meh.

Its an okay racer thats completely gutted by the heavy MTX mechanics. Basically you have to rely on getting upgrades through a silly roulette wheel.

Its a pain to get the points to be able to spin the wheel so ofcourse, they make MTX to give you more spins.

[Cleggworth]

Vampyr has been on my radar for a while as a "if I ever run out of games game" so I can officially move it to the backlog now

[killerlightning]

PS Now and EA Play games.  Way to go Sony making your own service and other completely worthless.  Swear Sony has the stupidest business people around.

[Fr_0zt]

Good month!

 

Payback will be my next platinum and I highly recommend Vampyr, it's one of my favourites of this Gen.

[Katt]

"Pretty good"

[Neme-ita]

Finally a good month

Massira is the extra game for Portugal and Spain for those interested

Vampyr is so frustrating, cause it has one of the most interesting starts in the that holds on pretty solid till one major boss, only to stumble on it's head so hard, it ruins the whole story. It's abysmal writing ruins any chance to redeem itself with the inclusion of one of the most boring endings in video games. The combat is serviceable, nothing to run home about and the RPG elements don't really come through that well. Everything else is passable. Some of the powers are actually cool to be honest.

It's a game that could have been great, but it's just very frustrating how bad it gets. If you are however just looking for an easy platinum, you can't go wrong here. 

 

Never been to racing, let alone Need For Speed and this one has some annoying online trophies, so I might give it a pass.

 

It's another letdown for me. ?

Is this what you're referring to?

Vampyr isn't an easy platinum, man, what are you talking about? You have to do a no upgrade run which makes the already janky combat way harder. You can't do it on Easy mode, either. No fast travel makes getting the collectibles, some of which are missable, a pain. 

 

Anyway, it's no surprise that I won't be taking either of these since they're so old I either played them or never want to. And if they're both already on the other paid services Sony offers, that's even worse. Lowers the value of all the services.

[LastMinuteSavior]

One is a PS Now game and the other is part of EA Play's vault. Cheap bastards ?

 

Cool they're sticking with that silver + gold color scheme. Looks fresh.

I like this month, I've been thinking of picking up Payback for a good while now and Vampyr has always slightly interested in me so ? from me
