PlayStation Plus games: December 2019

Titanfall 2

Respawn may be busy with Apex Legends these days, but you can thank the Titanfall franchise for the former’s slick sliding, fast combat, and vertical manoeuvres. Titanfall 2 was an acclaimed sequel with a single-player campaign worth buying the game for alone, even before you get to incredible multiplayer action, with humanoid avatars massively punching above their weight against (and inside) the lumbering mechs Titanfall is known for. Not one to miss.

Monster Energy Supercross

Not quite as big a name as Titanfall, but Monster Energy Supercross offers fast and nimble action of its own in this BMX race simulator, with a track editor to craft and mould your own routes to bike around. And yes, that’s Monster Energy as in the energy drink.

PlayStation Plus games: November 2019

Nioh

This samurai action game has more than a touch of Dark Souls about it, which is no bad thing – but its in-depth combat system and stunningly realised medieval setting also make it very much its own beast. A return to form for Team Ninja, and a game that we now know is getting a Nioh 2 sequel in March 2020. Perfect time then to practise your swordsman skills.

Outlast 2

‘Tis the season to be scary, and Outlast 2 should help get you in the Halloween spirit. It’s more a spiritual successor than a direct sequel to 2013’s Outlast, but again puts you in the shoes of a journalist who gets caught up in the murders they’re trying to investigate. Cue camcorder footage, terrifying chase sequences and an all-around horror experience.

PlayStation Plus games: October 2019

The Last of Us Remastered

It couldn’t be a better time to drop The Last of Us Remastered through PS Plus, with the highly anticipated sequel to the dramatic zombie game, The Last of Us Part 2, coming in February 2020 – but with masterful storytelling and truly gripping emotional stakes, the original game is very much worth visiting alone.

The remastered version updates the PS3 game with enhanced graphics, and includes the Left Behind DLC that delves into Ellie’s life before the start of main story.

MLB The Show 19

If you’re keener on swinging baseball bats into actual baseballs – rather than, you know, skulls of the undead – MLB The Show 19 is the sports simulator you need. Players who try out the game in October will get some free in-game content, to boot, while legendary player Ted Williams is also being added to the game this month.

Both games are available until November 4.

PlayStation Plus games: September 2019

Batman: Arkham Knight

It’s time to suit up as the caped crusader. Rocksteady’s Arkham Knight is leading this month’s PS Plus offering, and it’s one that you’ll definitely not want to miss.

The fourth main instalment in the Arkham game series, Arkham Knight sees you going toe-to-toe with some of DC’s most infamous villains including Scarecrow, Joker and Deathstroke. It’s worth picking up just for the sheer enjoyment of skidding around Arkham in the Batmobile – you know, if you’re not in the ‘saving the world’ thing.

Darksiders 3

Another dark offering from PS Plus this month, Darksiders 3 is a hack and slash action-adventure from Gunfire Games. If you like Metroidvania games then this is definitely one for you but don’t expect an easy ride.

PlayStation Plus games: August 2019

WipEout Omega Collection

If you feel the need for insane speed, this iconic PlayStation racing franchise will have you zooming around futuristic tracks and chasing gold medals like nobody’s business.

Explore a large open world in order to get the best shot on your enemy, and team up with a friend in the game’s addictive co-operative mode. That’s an order, soldier!

PlayStation Plus games: July 2019

Detroit: Become Human

Quantum Dream has a reputation for narrative-heavy games with weighty choices, and Detroit: Become Human is no less ambitious than you’d expect. Following three separate character paths in a world with an underclass of androids, it’s a game that makes big statements about power, autonomy, and the civil rights movement.

Even if Detroit can’t always carry the weight of these themes, there’s a lot at work here – and, for some, getting to experience more of David Cage’s work will be enough.

Horizon Chase Turbo

If you grew up on the fast-paced, ‘one-more-go’ arcade racers of the ’80s and ’90s, chances are you’re going to love Horizon Chase Turbo. Modelled on classic racers like Outrun, Top Gear and Rush, Horizon Chase Turbo aims to send a nitrous burst of nostalgia right into the hearts of every kid who ever spent their afternoons pumping coins into arcade machines and an effort to chase that all-important ‘high score’.

PlayStation Plus games: June 2019

Borderlands: The Handsome Jack Collection

With Borderlands 3 right around the corner, there’s no better time to jump back into the franchise with Borderalnds: The Handsome Jack Collection. It’s a compilation of two games – The Presequel and Borderlands 2 – and sets the stage for the third entry in the series that’s coming later this year.

On top of both base games, you’ll get all the DLC released for Borderlands 2, plus exclusive skins and challenge arenas for The Presequel.

Considering it’s absolutely free right now, it’s a darn good deal.

Sonic Mania

For years, all gamers wanted was a basic remake of the original Sonic The Hedgehog games. They didn’t want fancy graphics, or boatloads of new characters, just the game they grew up with on modern consoles. Sonic Mania is the direct result of fans’ desires.

That said, Sonic Mania is really both a compilation of original levels and a spiritual successor to the Sega Genesis games – you’ll play as either Sonic, Tails or Knuckles and cruise through levels at high velocity. At the end of zones, you’ll take on Dr. Robotnik in one of his mechanical monstrosities, and do your best to clear bonus stages in between missions.

If you need a giant fix of nostalgia, Sonic Mania can dish it out in spades.

PlayStation Plus games: May 2019

Overcooked

Overcooked is undoubtedly one of the best couch co-op party games to come out in the past few years.

One to four players control cooks in a kitchen, delegating responsibilities as they try to cook and serve increasingly complex orders in a variety of bizarre restaurants.

It’s quintessential co-op, though as the pace and stress ratchets up, you begin to understand how Gordon Ramsey came to rely on such a profanity-filled vocabulary to get things functioning in the kitchen.

The beauty of Overcooked is that it leaves all organisation to the players; who’s frying the steaks? Who’s chopping the veg? Why is the onion soup on fire?!? Who the HELL is doing the washing up because we’ve run out of plates to serve food on?

If you can’t handle the heat then get out of the kitchen – or burn it to the ground in this case.

What Remains of Edith Finch

It’s hard to describe What Remains of Edith Finch without spoiling it. It’s one of those games that needs to be experienced first-hand, and luckily Sony is letting you for free.

The narrative driven title sees you investigating the family home of the Finch’s in an effort to work out why you’re the last one left and what happened to the other members of the family. It’s peculiar and wonderful, and arguably one of the best games to come out in 2017.

PlayStation Plus Games: April 2019

Conan Exiles

Take a sprinkling of Schwarzenegger, a dash of Minecraft and a helping of Ark: Survival Evolved, and you’ll end up with something like Conan Exiles. A persistent online multiplayer game, you’ll be cast into the brutal realm of the world’s most famous barbarian with no belongings (literally nothing – not even a loincloth to hide your modesty) and tasked to simply survive and thrive. It launched to a bit of a mixed response, but has since built a bit of a cult following – in no small part, no doubt, due to the fact that it’s the only game with a penis size slider as part of its create-a-character set up…

The Surge

Imagine Dark Souls in space, and that’s what you’ve got with The Surge. It’s a bit of a corridor slog, squandering its initial mysterious promise, but its combat is meaty and well presented. If you can’t face Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, but still want something akin to a SoulsBorne fix, The Surge will plug that gap.

PlayStation Plus games: March 2019
