Infamous: Second Son Headlines September 2017’s Free PlayStation Plus Games

The hot streak for solid “free” games on PlayStation Plus continues into September with a plenty of bang for your slightly inflated buck.

The marquee title for the month is InFamous: Second Son, one of the PS4’s first big exclusive games. It’s a little rough around the edges and shoehorns in some awkward peripheral mechanics, but if you can deal with that and it’s inherently unlikeable protagonist, you have a couple dozen hours of open-world action to leap around in.

Next up, Child of Light from Ubisoft Montreal is also available for PS4 players in Europe. It’s a twee, delightful RPG with a good heart – it’s the exact kind of game Ubisoft need to release more often to remind people that they are more than just their open-world templates.

North American players get Strike Vector Ex, which is a competitive first-person aerial combat game. Never heard of it, but it could scratch a Top Gun itch.

Child of Light

That’s You, for the two of you who still don’t have it, is free again in September for PS4. Elsewhere, nutty pigeon thing (I have been wanting to play this game for ages but it scares me because it’s different) Hatoful Boyfriend is available for PS4 and Vita, alongside PS VR only Rigs: Mechanised Combat League (NA and Canada only). If you add We Are Doomed, which is on PS4 and Vita, that’s six games in total for PS4 this month. Sony really want to make up for that price hike, huh?

Here’s the list in full along with the platforms they’re available on:

inFamous: Second Son (PS4)
Child of Light (PS4) (non-NA)
Strike Vector Ex (PS4) (NA only)
Rigs: Mechanised Combat League (PS4/PS VR) (NA and Canada only)
That’s You (PS4)

Handball 2016 (PS3)
