May PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection Will Leave You In Limbo
There’s still one more week of April’s Instant Game Collection left, but Sony has already unveiled what we can expect next month. As usual, there are six titles: one for PS4, three for PS3, and two for Vita.
Coming to Sony’s new hardware is Stick it to the Man, a point-and-click game with a touch of platforming. Ray has a purple arm sticking out of his head, which he can use to manipulate his paper-like environment.
On PS3, it’s the trio of Puppeteer, Pro Evolution Soccer 2013, and Skullgirls Encore. On Vita, you can nab indie hit Limbo and Surge Deluxe (by Futurlab, which is currently working on Velocity 2X).
Check back every Monday as we update you with the newest additions to the Instant Game Collection.

Our Take
I’ve got my eye on Puppeteer and Surge Deluxe (which I had the chance to play briefly at GDC). As great as PlayStation Plus is, I’m a bit concerned it’s reinforcing a sales-eroding waiting game. When Puppeteer came out last fall, many suggested they’d “just wait for it to be free with PlayStation Plus.” Only eight months later, that’s exactly what’s happening.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
