PlayStation's latest free game hailed as 'stunning' by impressed fans

It is no secret that PlayStation Plus has added some epic titles to its day-one service and this title is no exception.

Earlier this week we saw our first look at what games will be heading to the PlayStation Plus service this May. With some interesting games available at no extra cost to subscribers, it is set to be an exciting month.

Check out the trailer for Tales of Kenzera: Zau below!

Until then, however, subscribers can also get their hands on a PS Plus day one release: Tales of Kenzera: Zau.

Released this February, Tales of Kenzera: Zau is a Metroidvania title developed by Abubakar Salim who you may also know as the voice of Bayek in Assassin’s Creed Origins.

In his first game, you play as Zau, a young shaman who bargains with the God of death to bring his Baba back from the darkness.

Inspired by the loss of Salim’s own father, Tales of Kenzera: Zau is both a heartbreaking and heartwarming tale of life, death, bargaining and acceptance and it seems as though PlayStation Plus members are happy with the addition.

“The PS Plus day one release game isn't bad at all. In fact, it's pretty good. I've spent hours immersed in Tales of Kenzera: Zau,” wrote one user over on r/PlayStationPlus. “The graphics are stunning, and the gameplay, while simple, is incredibly fun.”

Another agreed, saying: “I like it, it's not perfect, it has great graphics, good gameplay, the controls were a bit janky, but its best feature is its story.”

We were also lucky enough to review the Metroidvania title here at GAMINGbible. We said: “As a diverse story featuring wonder and beauty, I cannot recommend this game enough, but the nuts and bolts need tightening for it to truly soar.”

If Tales of Kenzera: Zau sounds like your type of game, it is now available for free for PlayStation Plus members.
