PlayStation Plus Free Games: March 2017

Editorial Team

Today, Sony announced their next line-up of free-to-play titles for PlayStation Plus subscribers, which will be available for download on Tuesday, March 7.

On the PlayStation 4, there’s Disc Jam, a brand new title by High Horse Entertainment. From a third-person perspective, players race to grab and throw a glowing disc in a game described as a cross between air hockey and tennis. Also, there’s Tearaway Unfolded, the platforming adventure ported from the PS Vita, where a messenger must deliver a secret letter through a portal in this storybook-like paper world.

For the PlayStation 3, there’s Earth Defense Force 2025, the third-person shooter where players must defend the Earth against a swarm of giant alien insects. And Under Night: In-Birth, a cross between a visual novel and 2D fighting game in which Hyde has the ability to see and fight shadowy creatures that feed on power.

And on the PlayStation Vita, there’s Lumo, a puzzle-solving platformer in which a magician explores various rooms to uncover all its secrets. And Severed, the action-adventure title from DrinkBox Studios where a lost warrior is in search of the story of her own life from both the past and future.

While the trophy list for Disc Jam hasn’t yet been unveiled, all remaining five games have platinum trophies to unlock. Among these, Severed is perhaps the easiest with only about 10 hours of gameplay required. Also, both Tearaway Unfolded and Under Night: In-Birth are not too difficult for any average gamer, each taking only 20-25 hours of gameplay for their platinum trophies.

Editorial Team

At long last, Sony has unveiled the free-to-play games for PlayStation Plus members for this month, which will become available for download on Tuesday, February 7.

 

For the PlayStation 4, there’s LittleBigPlanet 3, the creative platformer where Sackboy must join forces with three new friends in order to stop Newton from destroying the creative world. Like previous games in the series, players can also create and upload their own levels, as well as play the millions of user-created levels online. Also, there’s Not a Hero, a third-person shooter where BunnyLord travels back in time in order to save the future from an alien invasion.

 

On the PlayStation 3, there’s Starwhal, the indie game by Breakfall where players control a Space Narwhal to battle against friends, NPCs, or compete in challenges. Starwhal is also a cross-plat with the PS4. And Anna: Extended Edition, a psychological horror puzzle game taking place in an abandoned sawmill where players must find clues and solve puzzles in order to learn of the character’s dark secrets.

 

And lastly, for the PlayStation Vita, there’s Ninja Senki DX, the indie game originally released on the PC in 2010, where Hayate is seeking revenge for the death of his lover at the hands of an evil ninja, in this 2D platformer. Ninja Senki DX is also a cross-plat on the PS4 and PS3. And finally, there’s TorqueL, the side-scrolling puzzle platformer where you must control a box in order to guide the man trapped inside. TorqueL is also a cross-plat with the PS4.

 

Among the free titles this month, only LittleBigPlanet 3 and Starwhal have Platinum trophies to unlock. It should also be noted that LittleBigPlanet 3 has three online trophies, and the online servers in the Japanese region have been closed, while other regions are still temporarily safe. The Platinum for Starwhal is a bit challenging, but still doable for average gamers and requiring roughly 20 hours of gameplay. Also, unlocking 100% of the trophies for Anna: Extended Edition is quite easy with a guide and 8 hours of gameplay, as is TorqueL with about 18 hours of gameplay.
