Available for anyone to go check.

Awesome month. Bulletstorm is underappreciated and Yakuza being exposed to the masses is even better.

Here's a direct link to prove it.

Oh yay, Yakuza Kiwami! I've been itching to get a physical copy of it but it being on PS+ next month is just as good.

Why has this been announced so early? An accident?

Yakuza Kiwami is a really stupid choice from Sega. It should have been Zero which is the best entry point to the franchise. They ruined a really good chance to get people into their series.

Eh, I predicted Kiwami to be available on Plus months ago. Well, it's not that there's something to predict, really, but Kiwami launched for a budget price of 30€, while 0 still sold a lot of copies for 60€ and only recently it got a price cut, so Kiwami was the safe bet.
But...if I'd be Sega, I'd wait to release Kiwami on PC first. I mean, a lot of users have PS4 and PC, by giving the game on Plus you are pretty much giving up on a good amount of sales for the Pc version.

Oh, and to anyone who plays Bulletstorm and thinks they like it enough to buy the Duke Nukem DLC: Avoid it. It is god awful.

Wait , Zero didn't release as a full price game did it ? I remember it being maybe $35 on release?

Hey! I didn't want to buy it again but being able to replay Bulletstorm is rad.

I already own Yakuza Kiwami. It's a shame I couldn't get into 0.

Guess I can start getting into Yakuza. Should I play this one first or Zero? I think it will be simpler if I just go by order of release starting with Zero.

Zero is the best place to start

very good story and sets up a lot of characters and has amazing side stories

It's whatever. If you play Kiwami first you will be surprised by how much better 0 is. If you play Zero first Kiwami will feel like DLC, but you have way more context to characters.

Yakuza 0 is so good, so playing it first can completely ruin Kiwami for you. ;p

Decent games btw. Had a blast playing Bulletstorm on 360 before.

Own and beaten Kiwami but I loved Bulletstorm years back, I heard this remaster was a bit touch and go in places but a free copy can't go amiss :)

Yakuza Kiwami hitting PS+ before I'm able to buy a standard non-steelbook copy is hilarious.

I mean I'll take free but I was waiting to give money for it.

I played Zero and right away after started with Kiwami and honestly it was kind of struggle to get through it some ways, the boss fights ( and lot of other fights ) just felt cheap and not as finely tuned as some encounters in Zero was.

I bought Kiwami physically, but it's nice knowing I'm safe to sell, if I ever wanted to. Very excited for bulletstorm, though!

Hopefully the multiplayer for Bulletstorm isn't dead. I really liked that game on PC when I played it a few years ago.

Yakuza Kiwami is a great choice, too. I have Zero, haven't started it, but adding the first game to my collection is a good way to get me to play the series.

Bulletstorm is a 10/10 in everything except the writing which is dick-slappingly awful
