Okay, so when PlayStation Plus first came out, it was tough to get noticed with all the big games launching on other consoles. But honestly, it’s really taken off since then! It’s become a huge service with a ton of games – everything from older PlayStation hits to brand new titles from other developers. What started as a pretty basic service has turned into an awesome deal, because with a subscription, you get access to hundreds of really great games.
PlayStation Plus offers over 100 hours of free games, and among them are some truly exceptional titles. These games—from big-name PlayStation classics to smaller indie hits—are widely praised and often represent the best of their genre. If you haven’t played them, you’re in for a treat!
The Last Of Us Part 1 Is Still A Timeless Classic
If you’ve paid any attention to gaming in recent years, you’ve probably heard of The Last of Us. It’s one of PlayStation’s most famous games, known for its captivating and emotionally powerful story. While it started with a zombie premise, The Last of Us quickly became something more, focusing on a compelling narrative that really stands out.
Whether you didn’t get to play the original game when it came out in 2013, or just haven’t had the chance yet, now is the perfect time to experience it. Both remastered versions of The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II are currently available to PlayStation Plus Extra members at no additional cost.
Celeste Will Push Your Platforming Skills To The Test
Fans and critics often call Celeste a masterpiece, but that doesn’t quite capture everything it offers. Beyond incredibly tight platforming, the game’s music, story, and atmosphere create a lasting impression long after you finish playing.
Even if you don’t usually play platformer games, Celeste is very accessible and offers options to help anyone enjoy it. Plus, it’s currently available as part of PlayStation Plus Extra, making it a great time to try it out.
Hollow Knight Is Well Worth Your Time
You’ve probably heard a lot about the upcoming game Hollow Knight: Silksong, and the hype is understandable. But it’s easy to forget the original Hollow Knight that started the series. This fantastic indie game is a truly excellent metroidvania and deserves to be played.
Okay, so whether you’re already hyped for Silksong or totally new to the world of Hollow Knight, getting Hollow Knight Voidheart Edition free with PlayStation Plus Extra is awesome. Seriously, even though the combat isn’t super complex, the game still looks amazing and has this really cool, sad atmosphere. It’s a perfect way to jump in and see what all the fuss is about!
DOOM: Eternal Is A Great Way To Get Your Adrenaline Pumping
The DOOM series has evolved a lot over the years, but DOOM: Eternal is widely considered the best game in the franchise thanks to its fast-paced, action-packed gameplay. It’s a fantastic game to jump into even if you’re new to the series, offering challenging combat encounters that feel like puzzles, and reward quick thinking and skillful play.
Even if you don’t typically enjoy the fast-paced, over-the-top action of DOOM: Eternal, it’s still worth checking out. It remains one of the most thrilling first-person shooter games available, and its music really enhances the experience.
It’s Hard To Find A Roguelike On Par With Dead Cells
If you enjoy roguelike games or want a quick, action-packed experience, check out Dead Cells by Motion Twin. Beneath its distinctive art style and fluid animations is a surprisingly challenging combat system. It pushes you to create the strongest possible character build to overcome increasingly difficult levels, and very few players manage to complete everything the game offers.
If you get hooked after trying the free version on PlayStation Plus, there’s a ton of extra content to enjoy, including free updates, collaborations, and paid expansions like the new Dead Cells: Castlevania DLC.
God Of War Ragnarök Pushed The Series To Greater Heights
Despite some initial concerns from fans about the big changes to how the game played and felt, God of War Ragnarök ultimately showed that those changes were a success. The game builds on the strong emotional story, satisfying combat, and development of Kratos’s character, and it’s a prime example of the high-quality experiences PlayStation can provide.
Although it’s ideal to play the previous God of War game before Ragnarök to fully appreciate the characters and more complex combat, both games are currently included with PlayStation Plus, so you can start playing right away without having to wait!
Ghost of Tsushima Is More Than Worthy Of Its Accolades
Ghost of Tsushima is a beautiful and immersive open-world game, and one of PlayStation’s standout original titles. It’s clearly inspired by classic samurai movies, offering a truly cinematic experience. While some gameplay elements might seem familiar to fans of the genre, the game’s historical setting is brought to life in a compelling way.
Ghost of Tsushima offers players a lot of freedom in how they approach battles, and successfully blends its beautiful open world with intense fighting. It’s a game that truly shines when you get to experience it yourself.
Bloodborne Is One Of PlayStation’s Most Coveted Exclusive
Seriously, everyone’s always asking for a Bloodborne remake or even just a way to play it on modern consoles, and for good reason – it’s easily one of FromSoftware’s best games. What I love about it is that even if you’re totally new to the ‘Souls’ style of games, or you’ve played them all, Bloodborne just feels different. The Lovecraftian world is incredible, and the fast, aggressive combat really brings it to life.
Bloodborne builds on everything that made previous games great, but adds its own special touch. It remains one of the best PlayStation games available, particularly if you’re willing to embrace its difficult but ultimately satisfying gameplay.
Cyberpunk 2077 Is Barely Recognizable From Its Release
When Cyberpunk 2077 first launched, it was far from a great game. However, it’s improved so much since then that many now consider it to be even better than originally intended. While there’s still room for improvement in areas like the police system and environmental variety, the game is now one of the best RPGs available, especially within the cyberpunk genre.
Even if you skipped Cyberpunk 2077 because of its rocky start or weren’t sure it was for you, it’s now one of the best games available with PlayStation Plus. You might just get lost in its dark and immersive future world.
Shadow Of The Colossus Is Still An Awe-Inspiring Experience
Though simple and somewhat unusual by today’s standards, Shadow of the Colossus offers a truly one-of-a-kind gaming experience that remains unmatched. The game focuses on hunting down and defeating 16 massive creatures, and you’ll have to use a combination of climbing and clever problem-solving to overcome these ancient beasts.
Even today, Shadow of the Colossus remains a truly unforgettable and essential game. PlayStation Plus members should definitely experience it – the game’s incredible scope and powerful emotional impact are best felt by playing it yourself.
