Sony just revealed the list of games PlayStation Plus members will get for free in February.

On PlayStation 4, gamers with PS Plus will get the single-player puzzle adventure game RiME and the family-friendly title Knack.

RiME "is set in a beautiful world where you play as a young boy who has awakened on a mysterious island after a torrential storm," Sony Senior Product Marketing Manager James Hallahan wrote in a blog post. "Armed with your wits and a will to overcome, you must explore this mysterious island, reach the tower's peak, and unlock its closely guarded secrets."

Knack invites players to control a shape-shifting humanoid while protecting the world from the invading Goblin Army. The game "is a fun-filled adventure that lets players wield fantastic powers and discover a uniquely vibrant world," Hallahan wrote.

February's PS Plus lineup also includes the platformer Spelunker HD and the role-playing game Mugen Souls Z on PlayStation 3 as well as the action-adventure title Exiles End and tactical role-playing game Grand Kingdom on PS Vita.

And, don't forget — PlayStation Plus members can still get the the PlayStation VR game Starblood Arena as a bonus freebie through March 6.

"This arena combat game was built from the ground up to be played in VR with your PS VR headset," Hallahan wrote. "Attack, evade, and move in any direction as you compete against pilots from across the galaxy. You'll fight for glory, credits, and your life."

New members can get a 14-day trial of PS Plus for free. After that, the service will set you back $10 a month, or you can sign up for a three-month subscription for $25 or one year for $60. Along with free games every month, members get access to online multiplayer on PS4 and exclusive discounts at the PlayStation Store.

My Experience

I'm PCMag's managing editor for consumer electronics, overseeing an experienced team of analysts covering smart home, home entertainment, wearables, fitness and health tech, and various other product categories. I have been with PCMag for more than 10 years, and in that time have written more than 6,000 articles and reviews for the site. I previously served as an analyst focused on smart home and wearable devices, and before that I was a reporter covering consumer tech news. I'm also a yoga instructor, and have been actively teaching group and private classes for nearly a decade. 

Prior to joining PCMag, I was a reporter for SC Magazine, focusing on hackers and computer security. I earned a BS in journalism from West Virginia University, and started my career writing for newspapers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

The Technology I Use

My little Florida beach bungalow is brimming with smart home tech. I have a smart speaker or display in every room, allowing me to control other connected devices by voice. The Nest Hub on my bedside table lets me set wake-up alarms, control my smart light bulbs, and set the temperature on my smart thermostat. I use the Amazon Echo Show 8 on my kitchen counter to browse recipes, reorder protein powder, check the weather, and watch the news while I do dishes. 

Because I suffer from allergies, air purifiers are essential. My favorite model is the Dyson Purifier Cool TP07, which doubles as a fan and continuously sends indoor pollution data to its companion mobile app. 

My pitbull Bradley sheds, so a good robot vacuum is a must. I currently use a premium Ecovacs Deebot that can both vacuum and mop, empty its own dustbin, and wash its own mop cloth. 

For fitness, I like to mix up my routine with cycling, indoor rowing, running, and strength training in addition to yoga. I take classes on the Tonal 2 smart strength training machine, I row indoors on an Aviron machine, and track my beach runs with an Apple Watch while listening to music on my Apple AirPods Pro. On the weekends, I love riding e-bikes like the rugged, beach-friendly Aventon Aventure for fun and fitness.

My job involves a lot of virtual meetings, so a quality webcam, microphone, and ring light are important. I use the Jabra PanaCast 20 webcam, the Elgato Wave: 3 microphone, and a Yesker tripod ring light. 

As for my preferred phone platform, I'm an iPhone person, but I've also extensively used Android for product testing.
