As the year draws to a close, many eyes are on Sony as many gamers are eagerly anticipating the PS Plus December 2017 Games, but you might have a bitter-sweet reaction with the current offering.

While Microsoft had an average offering of games with their Games With Gold lineup for December 2017, It seems Sony has decided to match their offering. While this is only half of the reveal and more games are to follow, this is still a pretty lackluster offering.
Free PS Plus December 2017 Games:
The games that are currently being offered are:
- Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition
- Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends
- That’s You!
- Syberia Collection PS3
- Xblaze Lost: Memories, PS3
- Forma.8, PS Vita (Cross Buy with PS4)
- Wanted Corp, PS Vita
There are still more games to follow, but considering the current offering, I wouldn’t keep my hopes up on the games improving.
PlayStation Saudi Arabia has just dropped the trailer, confirming the games:
Albeit Darksiders 2 is a Fantasic game with a sequel confirmed to be in the works, slated for a 2018 release date, it is disappointing that for the games to close off the year, the offerings are pretty mediocre.
Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends is just a kids version of a smash-like brawler with nothing spectacular to offer. Potentially an easy platinum at best?
While That’s You! launched and was a North America PS+ game a couple of months ago, and is now making its way to the EU, which isn’t surprising. Considering PlayLink games only launched in the EU a week or so ago, while the NA has had the PlayLink games for quite some time now.
While these are only a half of the offerings, we can still wait and see what are the remaining games, keep in mind that one of them will be a PS3 game, and unlike the Xbox One, PS4 doesn’t have backward compatibility with the predecessor.
UPDATE: A subsequent listing has just appeared on the Italian PS Store, so these are definitely the EU PS Plus Games for December 2017.
