May’s PS Plus member free game lineup is a bit short on AAA titles this month. All of these would be considered indie titles with a few of these being quite good. Guacamelee!Super Turbo Championship Edition for instance is a very, very good Metroidvania style game while The Unfinished Swan features a visually impressive art style. Ether One also looks quite interesting with a very Myst like feel to it.
These games will be available next week for free on PSN.
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition (PS4)
This 2D brawler/platformer hybrid is inspired by Mexican folklore and has a vivid art style to match. Explore a huge world, learn the robust fighting system, and enjoy some drop-in, drop-out co-op.
Ether One (PS4)
This haunting, first-person puzzler tasks you with restoring the minds of the mentally ill by solving complex puzzles and sewing together the frayed strands of the patient’s lives. Be warned: not everything is as it seems.
The Unfinished Swan (PS4 | PS3 | PS Vita)
Developer Giant Sparrow made big waves with this project thanks to its astounding art style and thought-provoking gameplay. Will you help find a fitting end to this fairy tale? Experience a breath-taking story filled with delightful twists.
Race the Sun (PS4 | PS3 | PS Vita)
This minimalist racing game forces you to compete against the setting sun in what is both a deeply calming and nail-biting session. That may sound like a contradiction, but it’s true!
Hohokum (PS4 | PS3 | PS Vita)
A supremely relaxing game that’s bursting at the seams with personality. Explore a crazy, colorful world, meet new friends, and just let go as you listen to the incredible soundtrack by a collection of talented artists.
Murasaki Baby (PS Vita)
A strange puzzle game with an eerie atmosphere. Players guide Baby through a nightmarish landscape in search of home. It’s cute, and also a little weird.

I’m so glad I didn’t buy Unfinished Swan like I was going to do last month if I can get it for free. Been a little disappointed with April’s line up, this could be more appealing.
There were a couple games in there I was going to buy on sale but glad I didn’t as well. Mainly the Unfinished Swan and Hohokum.
