This month’s PlayStation Plus Extra line-up is dropping on Tuesday, October 17th, offering a range of games for subscribers. Among them is “The Pedestrian,” a 2.5D side-scrolling puzzle platformer. To explore and advance through each environment, you must rearrange and reconnect public signs, entering a dynamic 3D world with stunning graphics and challenging puzzles. But is it worth a download? Here’s what some Redditors had to say:
