Games on the Cheap: January 2018
Games with Gold, PlayStation Plus, Humble Bundle and more
Start 2018 off right with some cheap and free game goodness.
My pick of cheap games for January 2018 is Batman: The Telltale Series (season 1) as part of this month’s PlayStation Plus offerings. This episodic game has you playing in a familiar Batman world, but with unexpected and daring developments of familiar characters.
If you want my opinion of the other PlayStation Plus game for the month, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, my recommendation would be to instead play Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
I enjoyed Tomb Raider: Underworld on Xbox 360 back when it came out. Not sure if I could go back though after the latest two stellar Lara Croft games. At the very least it shows the growth and evolution of the storytelling and style of the series.
PlayStation Plus members are also getting another VR game, Starblood Arena. Check out the trailer for it here:
