Here is an overview of the games:

Darksiders III

In this hack-and-slash action adventure, assume the role of Fury, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, in her quest to hunt down the Seven Deadly Sins. Explore an open-ended, living world, and use your whip and magic to restore the balance between good and evil.

Yooka-Laylee

Explore huge, beautiful worlds and meet an unforgettable cast of characters. As buddy duo, Yooka & Laylee, embark on an epic quest to thwart the corporate villain, Capital B, and his devious scheme to absorb all of the world’s literature.

Lost Planet 3

Delve deeper into the history of the Lost Planet universe. In this prequel to the previous entries, relive the adventures of Jim Peyton as he reveals the hidden truths within the environments of E.D.N. III, in a highly engrossing single player experience.

Garou: Mark of the Wolves

As the last entry of the classic Fatal Fury series, select over a dozen different fighters to participate in the King of Fighters: Maximum Mayhem tournament. Featuring the T.O.P. fighting system, and a defense and counter mechanic, prove to your opponent that legends don’t die…they get better!

Well, certainly an improvement over the last year or so of offerings but nothing to write home about.

Marke of the Wolves is a classic.

Darksiders III is a bad Dark Souls. I love the DS games but this game just sucks.
Lost Planet 3 the shit sequel that killed the series when the better sequel was stuck in Japan with EX Troopers.
Never played Yooka tho.

Think this is the first month in a long time where the Gold games look worthwhile. Will be bagging Darksiders and Yooka-Laylee for sure.

It's been a while, but Xbox certainly has the better month with Gold. By a long shot. Very good indeed.

Honestly can't remember the last good month of PS+. When was Titanfall 2 given out? So probably then for me.

3 is god awful. There is a better game in the series same year but on PS3 Japan only. Easy to finish without knowing Japanese tho. EX Troopers. Fantastic game.
