<p>January 2018&#8217;s free PS Plus games have been announced. This month, six games have been announced along with a couple bonuses. First up, PS4 users can add <em>Deus Ex: Mankind Divided</em> and <em>Batman: The Telltale Series</em>. PlayStation 3 users can add <em>Sacred 3</em> and <em>The Book of Unwritten Tales 2</em>. Finally, PS Vita users can add <em>Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness</em> and <em>Uncanny Valley</em>. Both Vita games are also available for PS4 via Cross-Buy.</p>
<p>Here comes the infomercial line: but wait, there&#8217;s more! From January 2 through March 6, PS Plus members can add <em>Starblood Arena</em> to their digital library. <em>Starblood Arena</em> is an arena combat game built to be played in VR. This isn&#8217;t the first free PSVR title given by PlayStation, as they previously offered <em>Until Dawn: Rush of Blood</em>.</p>
<p>The second bonus is for <em>Warframe</em> fans or for those that want a boost to get started on it. The PlayStation Plus Booster Pack II Bundle offers a nice deal for players. The pack includes 100 Platinum, 50,000 Credits, Akmagnus Dual Pistols, Akmagnus Obsidian Skin, a 3-Day Affinity Booster, a 3-Day Credit Booster, and a Dragon Mod Pack. This is available until February 13, 2018, for all PS Plus members.</p>
<p><em>Deus Ex: Mankind Divided</em> is the follow-up to <em>Deus Ex: Human Revolution. </em>The game mixes action and stealth with RPG elements. Whether it be stealthy or guns blazing, the game touts the freedom to play however the player chooses. We gave<em> <a href="https://bagogames.com/deus-ex-mankind-divided-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deus Ex: Mankind Divided</a></em> a 7 out of 10 citing both the story and side missions as high points in the game.</p>
<p><em>Batman: The Telltale Series</em> has players take on the role of both Batman and Bruce Wayne. Each choice has a consequence as the series goes on. We gave the first episode of <em><a href="https://bagogames.com/batman-telltale-series-episode-one-realm-shadows-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Batman: The Telltale Series</a> </em>a 10 out of 10 for its fresh take on Batman, the voice acting, and the unique design.</p>
<p><em><a href="https://bagogames.com/unholy-desecration-sacred-3-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sacred 3</a> </em>is a hack and slash adventure game which we gave a 5 out of 10. While it was visually pleasing with fun co-op, it was overly simple and repetitive with a lack of customization. The other PS3 title,<em> <a href="https://bagogames.com/refreshing-classic-formula-book-unwritten-tales-2-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Book of Unwritten Tales 2</a></em> is a point-and-click adventure game we gave a 9 out of 10. It was praised for the graphics, story, writing, and voice acting.</p>
<p><em><a href="https://bagogames.com/psycho-pass-mandatory-happiness-review-visual-novel-breadsticks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness</a> </em>is a visual novel based on the anime Psycho-Pass. We gave it a 5.5 praising how it stayed true to the plot with nice new additions, however, it was dragged down by the antagonist and poor ending determining system.<em> <a href="https://bagogames.com/uncanny-valley-game-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Uncanny Valley</a></em> is a survival-horror game where the choices you make have an impact in the narrative. We gave it a 6.5 for the sound design and game mechanics but had clunky stealth execution and a lackluster buildup toward the higher endings.</p>
<p>You have until Tuesday to pick up <a href="https://bagogames.com/december-2017-ps-plus-games/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">December&#8217;s titles</a>.</p>
<p>Overall, this is one of the better lineup of games PlayStation has put out in a while. Let us know what you think in the comment section below.</p>
