PlayStation Plus already kicked off September with Harry Potter's Quidditch Champions and MLB The Show 24, but the service is getting a bunch of amazing indies in the second half of the month -- including one that's caught the eye of many players thanks to its unique visual style.

The Plucky Squire from All Possible Futures and Devolver Digital is the headliner for the latest PlayStation Plus catalog announcement.

It's an action-adventure game with combat, puzzles, and platforming challenges, and it feels fresh thanks to its combination of 2D and 3D animation, which you can see for yourself in the adorable trailer below.
