PlayStation Plus subscribers in love with 'disgraceful' new free game

August easily brought us the strongest PlayStation Plus line-up of the year so far.

Extra and premium tier users were treated to a collective 15 games this month, including CD Projekt RED’s acclaimed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

In case you missed the announcement, extra tier subscribers can also now enjoy Wild Hearts, Cult of the Lamb, Ride 5, Watch Dogs 2, Sword Art Online: Last Recollection, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris, Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet, and Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization.

Additionally, premium tier users can download Vacation Simulator, TimeSplitters, TimeSplitters 2, TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, and Sword Art Online: Lost Song.

It’s Cult of the Lamb that I want to focus on today though, because it appears that a new legion of players are now discovering this 2022 gem.

Take a look at the game in action below.

Developed by Massive Monster and published by Devolver Digital, Cult of the Lamb is a roguelike that sees you raise a loyal cult in the name of the god-like ‘The One Who Waits’.

We’re a big fan of the game here at GAMINGbible.

A dark sense of humour allows Cult of the Lamb to stand out from the crowd, but it’s because of the game’s cutthroat mechanics that you’ll have to go in preparing to lose all sense of morality.

“Cult of the Lamb is an absolutely disgraceful game,” jested Reddit user OvarianCoincidence.

“It encourages abhorrent behaviour. Freeing innocents from torture, enslavers, death to bring them into a sect that demands blind loyalty no matter what commands, and beliefs are laid onto them? Disgraceful. Dissenters? Kill them. Hungry? Have some stew made from the now-slain dissenters,” they continued.

“Throw in sacrifices to improve moral, malnourishment unless you make them literally eat s**t, illness that you can ignore to work them to literal death, dead bodies piling on top of each other to make them throw up, and I fail to understand who in their right mind would want to play this utterly gorgeous, hilariously cute, brilliantly designed, and painfully addictive game.”

See? That’s how Cult of the Lamb gets you.

“Well now you've sold me on buying it,” replied one user.

“Read the title of this post, prepared to get cranky, read it, left the post laughing,” added another.

You too will soon be converted to follow the ways of the lamb should you give the game a go.

Just expect to lose a tiny slither of your soul as you do so.
