Popular games, especially those that don\u2019t have built-in replay value, must be tricky to evaluate when choosing them as a free download for a subscription service like PS+. New titles? Sure, it\u2019s a safe bet people will get excited about them being included.\u00a0 Older games, however, have undergone the life cycle of both digital and physical sales, and those without obvious benefit to replaying them \u2013 one and done, if you will \u2013 tumble in price to a point where just about anyone can play these otherwise great games for cheap. The chief PS+ freebie this month falls into that category: a well-regarded, impressive title that can be purchased for about the same price as a latte at your local coffee shop.\u00a0 Those with shiny new systems either purchased or gifted to them over the holidays will, naturally, enjoy the availability; however, longstanding veterans might be shrugging their shoulders at it. Oh, and there’s MOTORCROSS<\/em>. Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n

Titanfall 2<\/h4>\n

The original Titanfall<\/em> had the benefit of that leniency granted to games released early in new console\u2019s life cycle, with dated gameplay and a lacking narrative being forgiven for how handsomely the sci-fi shooter was executed. \u00a0To say that it had \u201croom to improve\u201d \u2013 as well as potential \u2013 would be an understatement in the eyes of gamers everywhere excited for Respawn\u2019s next title. That\u2019s where Titanfall 2<\/em> enters the picture, accomplishing one of the most important things that it can as a sequel to a middling first entry: it becomes much closer to what people thought the first one would be. \u00a0Brisk-paced shooting, a hearty progression system, and a smart science-fiction narrative result in a wholly satisfying single-player experience, while an evolving and fluid multiplayer experience brings much-needed improvements to its longevity. While it\u2019s several years old now and easily had in bargain bins everywhere, many still consider it to be among this gen\u2019s best shooters.<\/p>\n

Monster Energy Supercross<\/h4>\n

There\u2019s a lot to process when checking out Monster Energy Supercross<\/em>. \u00a0At first glance, it\u2019s tough to look at the game as anything but an advertisement for the energy drinks above all else, as the distinctive three-line, acid-green logo can be found in just about every single frame from start screen to finish line. Yet, those who\u2019ve watched the motorsport will confirm that, hey, that\u2019s just the way it is when you\u2019re there in person, so the game can\u2019t be dinged for simply being accurate.\u00a0 Along with that, you\u2019ve also got the first official supercross game from Italian developer Milestone \u2013 the folks responsible for MotoGP<\/em>, Ride<\/em>, and numerous other bike racers \u2013 that incorporates real-world tracks, bikes, and brands for the full experience. \u00a0Underneath that surface, however, lies a visually realistic yet mechanically flawed first lap in the franchise, cut off by frustrating AI opponents and wonky environment responsiveness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
