New PlayStation Plus Free Game Brings PS5 Users Back to the N64

Sony recently added a free game to PlayStation Plus that wasn’t originally announced for May. It’s a great pick for anyone who loves classic 3D platformers like those from the Nintendo 64. While Nintendo continues to keep that genre alive, PlayStation players don’t have access to those games and usually have to look to smaller indie titles. Last year’s Game of the Year winner, Astro Bot, was a standout, but it’s not typical for PlayStation Plus.

PlayStation Plus members – whether you have Essential, Extra, or Premium – can download Woodle Tree Adventures Deluxe for free for the next two weeks, until May 28th. Normally costing $5, this charming 3D platformer is inspired by classic Nintendo 64 games like Banjo-Kazooie and Super Mario 64. With a rating of 3.31 out of 5 stars from over 460 players, it seems to be a fun experience!

This game is a retro-style 3D platformer, taking inspiration from classic games of the 1990s while also introducing fresh ideas. You’ll journey through six unique worlds, collecting magical water drops to save them. Given its low price of $5 and availability as a free PlayStation Plus game, it’s a relatively short experience, lasting around one to two hours.

User reviews generally acknowledge the game has some limitations and issues, such as the camera. However, many players find it relaxing and feel it offers good value for the money – and now that it’s free, that value is even better.

I saw a review that really nailed it – this platformer is just super charming! The graphics are really bright and colorful, and I instantly loved the characters. It seems like the perfect game for kids, or anyone who enjoys a relaxing, feel-good adventure. Honestly, it sounds like it’ll just put a smile on your face and lift your spirits – definitely sounds like a lot of fun!

One player described the game as delightful and visually appealing, saying it’s very relaxing to play. They mentioned that some camera angles can be a bit difficult, but overall they really enjoyed it.
