With the world in the middle of a global pandemic that's led to travel restrictions, toilet paper shortages, and the closure of major events worldwide including E3 2020 being canceled , more and more people are being forced to self-quarantine, work from home, and avoid going out in public whenever possible. All this time at home means more time to play great games and catch up on the backlog of missed games, (though everyone should be putting their health and health of others first), so it's important that Sony brings the goods each month with PlayStation Plus for this and a variety of other reasons. Here’s our complete PS Plus free games wish list for April 2

With these combinations resulting in a variety of effects, it is recommended that players take the time to experiment with their charm loadout. See what works with their preferred playstyle, what only works for certain situations, or just try out different charm combos to see what happ

Without much to draw interest, the Ancient Basin is not one of the greatest areas in the game. One thing that does stand out is the Palace Grounds, an area to the east of the Ancient Basin region. This is where the Pale King decided to build his palace, and from it, the rest of the kingdom was built outwards. It has some interesting lore but pales in comparison to other ar

Equipping charms, as described by the game, is easy. Just go to the nearest bench, open the inventory, and select the charm. But players will quickly realize that they can’t wear all the charms they want. The Knight starts with 3 notch slots, and each charm takes up a certain amount of these notches. As with charms, players can collect more notches through purchase, defeating certain enemies and explorat

The Soul Tyrant moves quickly, so be sure to grab what Soul you can when you can. Heal before you dive down to join the Soul Tyrant for the second phase. Get in what Soul Spell attacks you can, but don't try to predict what the Soul Tyrant might

Starbound is an indie game that places players on an alien world where they have to repair their ship in order to explore the universe. It's one of the few procedurally generated games that have really paid off for their developers and a must-play for those who enjoy 2D action-adventure ga

But regardless of the number of notches the Knight has, this notch system forces players to pick and choose which charms to equip at any one time. This encourages players to change out their charm loadout through the game and to tailor their charm combinations depending on the situat

Of course, any list detailing indie success stories wouldn't be complete without Minecraft ; one of the highest-grossing video games of all time. The original Minecraft was developed by just one person named Markus 'Notch' Persson and is an anomaly in gaming due to it grossing way more than its development c

Players take control of Juan Aguacate, a luchador a.k.a. a Mexican professional wrestler, on a quest to save the "Mexiverse" from Salvador, a corrupted luchador from the Darkest Timeline. In our Guacamelee! 2 review , we praised the sequel for being "bigger and better than the first game while retaining the original's charm, humor, eye-catching art style, and rewarding Metroidvania-style gamepl

Last month, Sony surprised PlayStation Plus subscribers with a bonus PSVR game on top of the standard two PS4 games, a first for the subscription service in some time. Given that it was described as a bonus game, Sony made the point that fans shouldn't expect this to be a regular occurrence, only offering Shadow of the Colossus and Sonic Forces for the month of March. While Sony might begin adding PS5 games to the rotation once the new console release later this year, for now, fingers crossed that PSVR bonus games start to appear a little more frequen

From the world design to the boss fight and atmosphere, there's no game quite like Hollow Knight Beginner Guide Knight . The Metroidvania has left an impact on the gaming industry in a mere short years, influencing indies everywhere to step up their game while also masterfully blending Soulslike mechanics into a dense Metroidvania setting. Hollow Knight appeals to fans of RPGs, action games, and large scale adventures alike. It's a game unlike any ot

While Hollow Knight's first battle against Hornet is a little challenging, it isn't too hard when compared to the second battle. Her special weapon is capable of pulling off moves with much more range than most enemies. The spiky traps strewn across the arena can also reduce your mobility, throwing you headfirst into a situation where you need to make every move carefu

One of the biggest selling points of Blasphemous is its setting, which is as interesting as can be, lifting heavily from Spanish folklore. The religious motifs and allegories present make for a truly entertaining experience ind

When Telltale Games released the critically acclaimed first season of Telltale's The Walking Dead back in 2012, the video game landscape was changed forever. And while subsequent seasons never quite reached the heights of the first one, it didn't feel any less devastating when Telltale Games closed in 2018 , halfway through the development of Telltale's The Walking Dead: The Final Season . Luckily, the season was later saved by publisher Skybound, and as a celebration of the series, lead to the development and release of a complete collection called The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Seri
