This week, PlayStation Plus dropped a new selection of Extra and Premium games that is being hailed as one of the best weeks for the service this year, akin to Xbox Game Pass. The lineup includes a diverse mix of modern games, retro classics, and more experimental titles. In this article, I’ve curated three new games on PlayStation Plus that I believe are worth your time.
Remnant II
Remnant II is a roguelike looter shooter with procedurally generated campaigns, offering a unique experience for each player. Its innovative approach even extends to the order in which narrative events unfold, providing great replay value and avoiding repetition. The game features standout boss battles and is a must-play for fans of co-op shooters.
Remnant 2 is available on PS5 through PS Plus Extra and is also part of the Xbox Game Pass catalog.
Jeanne d’Arc
Jeanne d’Arc is a classic strategy game by Level-5, reimagining the legend of Joan of Arc in a magical girl fantasy setting. With tactical gameplay reminiscent of Fire Emblem, the game offers deep strategic depth and engaging RPG elements. It’s a cult classic that now boasts modern enhancements and features, making it a must-play for fans of the genre.
Jeanne d’Arc is available through PS Plus Premium on PS4 and PS5 or can be purchased separately for $10.
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Complete Edition
Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is a quirky spinoff from the No More Heroes series, offering a unique gaming experience. Set within a possessed video game console, players accompany Travis Touchdown on a surreal adventure filled with industry satire and references. Despite its slightly clunky gameplay, the game’s charm lies in its humor and homages to various gaming titles.
The PS4 version of Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Complete Edition is available through PS Plus Extra and can be enjoyed on PC and Nintendo Switch as well.
