The best PS Plus games you don’t want to miss include some of the most popular and critically acclaimed titles on the service. This selection focuses on newer games, rather than older ones, to make it easier for you to choose what to play. ..
Stray
Stray is a post-apocalyptic game that you play as a lost cat in a city inhabited entirely by robots. Much of the game is about exploring the desolate streets and solving the mystery of what happened to the humans, but you must also find a way back home to your family.
Annapurna Interactive, the publisher behind Stray, is known for making out-there games. Still, there’s something about having a dedicated “meow” button that appeals to the deepest part of any gamer. So if you’re in a slump that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla can’t seem to break, try Stray. It’s a breath of fresh air in a somewhat stale gaming environment. ..
Returnal
Returnal is a challenging Metroidvania game that takes advantage of the PS5’s haptic feedback. It’s a lot of fun, with tight gameplay that makes the most of the console’s capabilities. However, you will die a lot, and mastering the game means practicing. ..
The game has a cooperative and multiplayer aspect that can make it easier. The scenery is beautiful, but it can be tough to appreciate it while running for life. Don’t let the talk of difficulty deter you.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
Final Fantasy VII is one of the most popular and well-loved video games of all time. There is no doubt about that. The newly remastered version for PlayStation 5 is even better, especially with the extra content that gives players a deeper look into Yuffie’s story. ..
Final Fantasy VII is a deep and immersive JRPG that you should try out if you haven’t already. The graphics are crisp and the story is deep, making it one of the best games on the PS5.
Fallout 76
Bethesda has released a revamped Fallout game for free to PlayStation Plus members. The game is now much improved, with daily events, a vast amount of content, and a brand-new world to explore. If you’re a fan of the Fallout series, this is definitely something you should check out. ..
Fallout 76 is an add-on for the PlayStation Plus service that provides no benefits other than the game itself. If you get a few friends together, Fallout 76 will provide hours of fun.
Outer Wilds
The Outer Wilds story is a great example of how to use a time loop to your advantage. You play as an unnamed character who is stuck in a loop and have a few minutes each play session to explore the universe around you before the star you’re orbiting goes supernova. Each bit of information you learn can be used in the following sequences, saving you time. This reminded me of Nintendo’s Majora’s Mask, which is one of my favorite games ever.
Gamers looking for a quick and easy game to play will love Beat Saber. It’s a fun and unique experience that won’t take long to complete, making it the perfect game to break up longer titles like God of War or Guardians of the Galaxy. ..
Shenmue 3
Shenmue 3 is the last in the Shenmue series and a solid conclusion to a beloved cult classic. While it still feels a little dated compared to modern games, if you’ve played the first few Shenmue games, you should play Shenmue 3 just to finish the series.
Plus, the game has a great story. The gameplay is important, but sometimes a great story is all you need.
Moonlighter
Moonlighter is a game that takes inspiration from classic games. There are more Legend of Zelda references than you can shake a stick at. The gameplay is a shop simulator; you dive into the dungeon, collect loot, and then sell it to your store’s customers. You must figure out prices, keep an eye out for thieves, and deal with low stock.
Warhammer: Chaosbane is a short, fun game that offers a different gameplay experience from other titles. ..
