As a dedicated video game enthusiast throughout my life, I’m often burdened by my gaming backlog – the persistent reminder of the money I’ve invested in countless games across multiple platforms. Sometimes, I jokingly call it my “shame pile,” but the reality is that I relish the variety of games at my disposal, sampling bits from an action game here and a taste from an RPG there. Subscriptions like PlayStation Plus cater wonderfully to this aspect of mine, as they consistently provide new gaming options.
Admittedly, the variety of games provided by services like PS Plus can be confusing, making it tough to decide which game to choose, especially when you’ve already played the most popular ones. This is where a helpful guide, perhaps published weekly by a well-known gaming website with a distinctive black and orange theme, could be beneficial in helping you make your choice. Here are some carefully selected suggestions for PS Plus, so let’s take a look.
Why Now is the Perfect Time to Play Bloodborne
Available on PS Plus Extra
It has been brought to my notice that there are still gamers out there who haven’t experienced Bloodborne even after Elden Ring, which I believe is something that needs to be addressed. While opinions might differ about whether Bloodborne is the absolute best game from FromSoftware’s action-RPG series, it’s hard to deny that it’s certainly a strong contender for that title. Personally, I consider Bloodborne a powerfully and uniquely unsettling game that had a profound impact on me. Perhaps it could do the same for you.
- How long to beat Bloodborne: 32–43 hours.
Why Now is the Perfect Time to Play Cult of the Lamb
Available on PS Plus Extra
In simpler and more appealing terms, let me introduce you to “Cult of the Lamb,” a captivating blend of roguelike elements, city-building, and action RPG featuring adorable anthropomorphic creatures. Although its combat may not revolutionize the genre, the intriguing premise-where you lead a cult as a lamb-coupled with well-crafted management systems, makes it an engaging choice for gamers. Its format allows for short, immersive play sessions, making it an excellent complement to larger game suggestions on your list.
- How long to beat Cult of the Lamb: 14–20 hours.
Why Now is the Perfect Time to Play Doom Eternal
Available on PS Plus Extra
In the gaming world, Doom Eternal stands out as one of the best first-person shooter games ever created. Following the release of Doom: The Dark Ages, it’s evident that Doom Eternal has something exceptional to offer. It builds upon the fast-paced intensity of its prequel but takes it a step further, and its strategic gunplay prevents it from becoming mere mindless action. Unlike Doom Slayer in The Dark Ages who is portrayed as more steady and stalwart, Eternal keeps him swift, agile, and nimble, which aligns with the modern FPS design template of Id Software. In essence, Doom Eternal can be considered the perfect balance within the current franchise.
- How long to beat Doom Eternal: 14–20 hours.
Why Now is the Perfect Time to Play Bugsnax
Available on PS Plus Extra
Following the quirky success of Octodad, Young Horses, based in Chicago, has impressed again with the 2022 release of Bugsnax. Given their growing collection of unusual games, Bugsnax lives up to expectations by being endearingly strange and sometimes grotesque, yet it exceeds in terms of gameplay mechanics. The game offers a variety of Bugsnax to capture, fresh biomes to discover, and NPCs to bond with. Although it won’t be available on PS Plus for much longer, its concise storyline makes it a rewarding endeavor for the fourth quarter.
Bugsnax is leaving PS Plus on August 19, so get it while it’s hot.
- How long to beat Bugsnax: 8–12 hours.
Why Now is the Perfect Time to Play Forspoken
Available on PS Plus Extra
The controversial opinion is that Forspoken’s writing might not be the best out there, but it’s been widely criticized for its roughness. However, after Square Enix’s release of this magic-based ARPG, it’s become apparent that there are some redeeming qualities. Primarily, the combat and magic system in Forspoken is highly engaging and enjoyable to use. If you’re seeking a novel approach to ARPG character building, then Forspoken might just be worth a try. It could be helpful to play it while listening to a podcast or something similar in the background.
Forspoken has received criticism for its writing, but if you’re interested in an innovative take on ARPG gameplay mechanics, particularly combat and magic systems, then Forspoken could be worth checking out. You might want to listen to a podcast or something while playing it though.
- How long to beat Forspoken: 14–26 hours.
