Yeah, it\u2019s gonna get said: the January PS+ freebies feature what many would consider to be two GOATs.\u00a0 Something about this month\u2019s offerings is really satisfying.\u00a0 Is it the inclusion of three remastered games from this generation\u2019s version of Indiana Jones? Or, is it the fact that the craziness of hurling a farm animal at all manner of objects in an open world can now be enjoyed by subscribers for free? Who knows.\u00a0 January\u2019s a tricky month in terms of freebies, in that attention gets drawn to the preciouses that gamers either received as gifts over the holidays or have been stockpiling for the winter season, so it\u2019s not really one worth big, splashy titles.\u00a0 Therefore, this coupling of titles feels like it just right, essentially future-proofing one of Sony\u2019s most popular franchises and giving an insane diversion with the other.\u00a0 Let\u2019s charge in!<\/p>\n

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection<\/h4>\n

\u2026 or, is Nathan Drake the male equivalent of Lara Croft? That\u2019s difficult to nail down, but what isn\u2019t tough to determine is the source of the rampant, deserved popularity of Naughty Dog\u2019s charismatic rogue of a hero. Look, the Uncharted<\/em> games don\u2019t really do much novel on a gaming level. All three of these installments feature standard third-person controls as the lead character navigates through exotic locations, doing some shooting, treasure-seeking and a little tomb raiding. As the series progresses, so too does the freedom of movement, going from versatile level design to more open-world navigation \u2026 though, again, nothing groundbreaking. Uncharted<\/em> sets itself apart because of the cinematic methods of its storytelling and the realization of its characters, and how these aspects are executed through Naughty Dog\u2019s perspective.\u00a0 The Nathan Drake Collection<\/em> features the first three games \u2013 Drake\u2019s Fortune, Among Thieves, Drake\u2019s Deception<\/em> \u2013 in a celebrated remaster effort from Bluepoint Games.<\/p>\n

Goat Simulator<\/h4>\n

The title for this game is both self-explanatory and absolutely in need of some explanation. Before the renaissance we\u2019ve entered celebrating the Untitled Goose Game<\/em>, the notion of a simulator following a goat sounded both entirely bizarre and, frankly, pretty boring. Then one sees it in action, and some things start to make sense. Don’t worry,\u00a0Goat Simulator<\/em> isn\u2019t akin to Farm Simulator<\/em>, in which you\u2019re concerned with the everyday life of a goat; instead, the player gains control of a goat that one can maybe assume has some relation to Black Phillip from The Witch<\/em>, in which he\u2019s nigh-indestructible and ready, willing, and able to wreak havoc on an open world that might just be in the afterlife<\/em><\/a>. This thing started as a joke, concocted during a break after development of a more serious game from Coffee Stain Studios, that snowballed into a full-blown title that features crazy physics, trick points, and bizarre mutations that add even more variety to the lunacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
