PlayStation Plus underrated free game is ‘why I have my subscription’, gamers enthuse

One of the many joys of subscribing to services such as PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass is that not only does it allow us to play some AAA big hitters, but also some indie darlings and underrated gems that we may have missed.

Take for example the endlessly charming indie game,Unpacking. As the name of the game suggests, it’s about unpacking, shocking. However, it’s one of the most relaxing games I’ve ever played presented with its gorgeous sprite visuals and soundtrack. It also tells a subtle yet wonderful story. If it wasn’t for its inclusion onXbox Game Pass, I may never have playedUnpackingwhich also led me to purchase the game onNintendo Switch.
