Underrated games often find new life on subscription services like Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus, where players have more freedom to choose which games to play. This weekend, I recommend exploring some hidden gems in the PS Plus catalog, including an exciting shoot ’em up platformer hybrid called Matterfall, a Marvel strategy game and RPG titled Marvel’s Midnight Suns, and a fun LittleBigPlanet spinoff.
Matterfall
Housemarque’s Matterfall, a level-based 2D platformer, offers a unique gameplay experience centered around clearing red “smart matter” from a futuristic city using Blue Matter weapons and abilities. Its engaging gameplay mechanics make it a must-try for fans of games like Returnal.
Matterfall is available as part of the PlayStation Plus Extra game catalog.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a card-based strategy RPG that has been gaining recognition for its engaging gameplay and unique card system that complements the turn-based battles. With a diverse roster of Marvel characters and tactical combat mechanics reminiscent of XCOM, this game offers a fresh take on the superhero genre.
The PS4 and PS5 versions of Marvel’s Midnight Suns are available via PlayStation Plus Extra.
Sackboy: A Big Adventure
Sackboy: A Big Adventure offers a delightful 3D platforming experience that is perfect for players of all ages. This title, released alongside other PS5 launch games, may have been overlooked but deserves attention for its creative levels and family-friendly design.
The PS4 and PS5 versions of Sackboy: A Big Adventure are available as part of the PS Plus Extra game catalog.
