A potential journey through PS Plus
The fantasy of subscription services is that one day we'll have time. I joined Game Pass for the same reason I own a bunch of large, beautiful novels I have yet to read: Ooh, one day I'll have time for that.
Day one. It's morning. Do you remember Cuboid? It was a game from a decent while back - a clever puzzler about controlling a block of wood that was twice as long as it was wide. Over and over you'd turn it to navigate mazes and avoid traps. That feeling it gave you, of actually holding a block and turning it around in your hands. Ingenious and gentle, this feels like a lovely sleepy start to a day of games.
And the perfect pairing for 428: Shibuya Scramble, another prolonged rumination on place, albeit the vivid urban rush of Tokyo, framed as a visual novel. No spoilers: just head in and see what you can find.For lunch, I think two games about movement might be nice. Celeste is a pure-hearted demon of a game, an exploration of mental health wrapped in one of the most exacting and deliriously rich platformers ever. It is not to be missed.
Early evening and I'm going for a deep cut. InFamous is perhaps not the most loved of franchises, but its blurry parkour and electrical superheroes has always appealed to me. Festival of Blood is a perfect slice, and an ideal game to play as the sun goes down. It's Halloween in New Orleans, or something very close to that. I mainly remember clouds of claret and the fact that I had a good time.
Day one was flighty: so many games! So many possibilities. Day two is about making choices and living with them for a bit. So Hollow Knight is a magical game about the insect world and I demand that you give it the whole morning. They say it's a metroidvania, but really it's a place of adventure: venture forth and get the Stagways running again. You can rest in the glittering disarray of the Queen's Station.
