Sony’s PLAY 2016 lineup includes Headlander and Abzu

Followed by Brut@l and Bound

This year’s PlayStation Store PLAY promotion begins July 26 with Double Fine’s ’70s-tastic side-scrolling adventure game Headlander. Each week during the block, a new game will appear on PlayStation 4 (Abzu on August 2, Brut@l on August 9, and lastly Bound on August 16).

With an active PlayStation Plus membership, you can save 20 percent on any of these titles by pre-ordering. If you buy two or more of them (even if you aren’t a PS Plus subscriber), you’ll earn a 20 percent off coupon for one entire cart purchase on the PlayStation Store. That’s tempting.

Let’s run through the games real quick.

Bound

Funny guy Steven Hansen tells me Headlander is very funny, so that’s a distinct possibility, but otherwise I’ll stick with Abzu as my “for sure, gotta have it” purchase and wait on reviews for the other games. It’s a good-feeling underwater adventure with art from Journey‘s Matt Nava. Enough said.
