PS Plus games for May 2022
May’s PS Plus games contain a couple of solid titles inTribes of MidgardandCurse of the Dead Gods, but they are very probably overshadowed by the statement that EA’sFIFA 22behemoth will be free on PS Plus in May 2022.
Curse of the Dead Gods is a top-down roguelike with similar vibes and gameplay to Hades, whereas Tribes of Midgard is an action-survival title set during the Viking era.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, little needs to be said about the addition ofFIFA 22. The successful football simulation game continues to maintain its stranglehold over the sporting realm and making it free will open it up to a wider audience.
