Well, we’re in for a bit of a stinker in May. Sony has just announced its lineup of free games for PS Plus subscribers and let me tell you, it’s not looking good. The past few months have seen a bit of a downturn in terms of the quality of games on the basic PS Plus tier.

The company even added the new Wolfenstein games to the catalogue as well. But, if you’re one of the ‘plebs’ who’ve only bought the basic PS Plus tier, you’ll be treated to classics such as GRID Legends, Chivalry 2 and Descenders.  If you’re into medieval games and such, maybe Chivalry 2 will get you going, but as far as a good lineup of games, this month isn’t it. As we mentioned above, the past few months have seen a dry spell of good games from the service...
