One more time, PS Plus delivers a nice free game. Dokuro is a 2D puzzle platformer that plays a little bit like Ico, but simpler. A Princess is captured by an evil overlord guy when one of his skeleton minions falls for her and starts rescuing her. The catch is, she can't even see him! The skeleton dude can transform into a hero to carry the princess and battle enemies, but only for a short time. In skeleton form though, the guy has a double jump and a push back move that makes him the most useful form.
The puzzles are pretty clever, involving some timing based events that require some skill as well as good thinking. The art style is pretty nice too. I played the first two chapters of the game, including a cool boss that required spiky boxes to be moved in his path. While this is not an amazing game, it's definitely a good one.
