We review all the games that the Sony subscription service has given, we compare it with the previous one and see average price and age.
The last month of the year arrives and, with him, it is time to review and see if one has been good or if on the contrary the Kings will bring him coal. In the case of PlayStation Plus, it is Polygon magazine that decides if it is on the list of bad children, because the publication has been responsible for reviewing, studying and analyzing all the games that have been given each month with the subscription service from Sony. A study that yields very interesting data and that allows to evaluate its quality to those who are doubting about its purchase or possible renewal.
In the final balance, Polygon notes that PlayStation Plus has given away 32 games in 2019, with an average score of 77.6 in Metacritic and an approximate price of $ 894 (for the price, the one that each game had when it was given is taken into account) . Compared to the numbers of 2018, the score of the games has risen 8.1 points but, interestingly, that does not mean that Sony has scratched the pocket more. On the contrary, the Japanese company has invested 614 dollars less. Or has spent better, or has taken better games but older. It should also be understood that the numbers are affected by the disappearance of PS3 and PlayStation Vita from the subscription, whose games used to lower the average and raise the price. In the last two years it has gone from offering six titles to two, with few exceptions. Less games, more quality.
Other interesting facts are, for example, the company that brings more games to PlayStation Plus apart from Sony, which is Ubisoft (with Steep and For Honor), tied with Konami (Zone of the Enders HD Collection and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots). The case of For Honor, by the way, is one of the four that they have repeated after having given away with Games with Gold previously. Despite the feeling that one may have, they have only been given with both services For Honor, The Witness, Overcooked! and Hitman: The Complete First Season. The first three came out a year earlier on Xbox and the last six months before on PS4 service.
The most expensive month for Sony was January, but because it still gave games for PS3 and PS Vita. Not counting that were June (Borderlands: The Handsome Collection and Sonic Mania), August (Sniper Elite 4 and WipEout HD Omega Collection) and September (Batman: Arkham Knight and Darksiders 3), tied at around $ 80 (approximately). The month that was least was May, with What Remains of Edith Finch and Overcooked! On the other hand, the month of games with the best score was October, unbeatable with The Last of Us Remastered and MLB: The Show. Meanwhile, January rose with the worst average score for what we said before, there were many more games.
The average age of the games that are given with the service, another hot topic on it, ranges between 1 year and 5 months (in April, with Conan Exiles and The Surge) and 3 years and 10 months (February , with For Honor, Hitman: the Complete First Season, Divekick, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Gunhouse and Rogue Aces). Of the 32 games, 12 moved between 70 and 79 in Metacritic, 11 between 80 and 89, 6 ranged from 60 to 69, 2 were above 90 and one below 59. You can check all those They have been given at the source. And once with the data on the table, what do you think of the year of PlayStation Plus?
