I'm slacking, this news is a few days old, but to be fair I have been helping my daughters move house, so been pretty busy.
Anyway Sony as part of their Play at home initiative are allowing Playstation owners to download ten free games.
https://blog.playstation.com/2021/03/17/play-at-home-2021-update-10-free-games-to-download-this-spring/
I won't list them all, simpler to follow the link, But I will mention a few I know about
Rez infinite. This I know from the early days of PSVR. I have not actually played it myself, but I do know it was getting some great reviews in VR circles.
Moss. Another VR title that again I have not played myself, but for many it was one of their most enjoyable VR experiences.
Thumper. Another VR game I have not played. But again a game that got great reviews in the early days of VR. I seem to remember it being some sort of rhythm game. Fun and challenging.
Astro Bot VR. Now this one I have played, and It really is a great showcase for what VR brings to gaming. Looks superb, the graphics are sharp and gameplay colourful and fun. If you have VR you need this.
Now I have listed these games as VR, I think I am right in saying they can be played without PSVR, except Astro Bot, actually Moss is VR only too it seems. But they are free anyway, so have look.
A last mention for Horizon Zero Dawn, A top PS4 AAA title, that will be free to download and play but unlike the others which you can keep. Horizon will be for a limited time. My guess is they are priming potential players for the new Horizon game coming to PS5.
So hats off to Sony. and enjoy
Apparently Ratchet and Clank PS4 is free to download now. I must have missed this news.
10 free games this spring.

Played astrobot, good game but far too cutesy for me.
Rez and thumper like you I haven’t but they are both meant to be really good. I’m almost tempted to sign up again just to get them

This is why I prefer not to give scores to games. Everyone has their likes and dislikes. And a game I might enjoy, won't necessarily be for everyone.
Horizon is a game that was highly praised by gamers and critics. I haven't played it, so don't really have an opinion.

Agree, I played horizon for one day thought meh and then didn’t play it for another 3 months but soon as I started coming across all the different dinos / mechs really got into and found it quality.
