Summary
It’s a solid start to the month, even if the games may have a more limited appeal than past additions. The best part is that the month is just getting started. However someone feels about these games, thePS Plus Extra and Premium games for June 2024are not far behind. Fans can expect a reveal and their addition within the next two weeks or so, and then the entire process restarts. In the meantime, fans can spend some time with the new free game selection.
Headlining the selection (based on IP recognition, most likely) isSpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake, a 3D platformer. Players, obviously taking on the role of SpongeBob, travel across Wish Worlds to save Bikini Bottoms and collect Cosmic Jelly, with all the silliness and Goofy Goober-ness fans would expect in between. Overall,SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shakesits at a “Fair” OpenCritic Rating, with a Top Critic Average of 70 and about 43% of overall critics recommending the title. It is joined byAEW Fight Forever, an arcade-style wrestling gamethat focuses on exaggeration over realism, andStreets of Rage 4, the latest entry in the beloved side-scrolling beat ‘em up genre.
