Not bad. We'll see if the full additions reflect better quality after the price hike.

13 sentinels is a gem of a game.

 

[nial]

13 Sentinels is a pretty gorgeous game.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Wait that's a great selection of games!

 

[KiteGr]

I have most of them. I'll be discontinuing my essential membership on 2027 when it runs out.

 

[Nankatsu]

I have none of those.

Is Star Ocean any good?

 

[Punished Miku]

Some very good games. I own the top 3 already, which is the issue I usually see for PS+. If you don't buy a lot of games though, you're in for a treat this month.

I played Unpacking on GP and it's alright. Nothing that amazing, but worth a shot if you want something different.

 

[Bartski]

Replicant finally, nice!

 

[iorek21]

Replicant is worth it for the soundtrack, the gameplay is just the icing on the cake.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Looks like a great month for me. Multiple games I had on my wishlist.

 

[killatopak]

GREAT games

 

[delfrickintree]

Not bad!

Don't sleep on this one, folks.

Good thing you have these already because you weren't paying for them anyway on Essential. This is apparently the Extra and Premium catalogue.

 

[Cyborg]

Great additions you should play them all but start with 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim

 

[lh032]

best deal in gaming

 

[mejin]

I'm glad japanese games are coming.

 

[roxya]

13 Sentinels!

I kinda wanted Star Ocean as well but was waiting for a good sale.

 

[Skifi28]

2 jrpgs I haven't played yet? Not bad.

 

[SSfox]

Yeah.........

I'll give them until December. If they don't put Online for Free. Or at least create a brand new PS+ for Online play only for like 20-30$/Year, then i'm out and i'm going all out on PC, and all my games purshases will be all on PC.

 

[Aenima]

Pretty good game selection.
Still havent played Nier Replicant, one of the game that was on my wishlist. And will give Star Ocean a try despite not so great reviews.

And to everyone that havent played 13 Sentinels yet. DO IT!

 

[V1LÆM]

is that meant to be a joke?

I have most of them. I'll be discontinuing my essential membership on 2027 when it runs out.

that'll show 'em for sure, well done!

 

[lughnasadh123]

I must be the only one to think it's a meh list.

 

[Robbinhood]

I almost bought 13 sentinels. Too bad I have NO TIME. My backlog is crazy. Maybe I'll get to it one day. WIsh we had these services back in the PS3 days when games were 10 hours.

 

[V1LÆM]

I must be the only one to think it's a meh list.

no you're not. it's a fuckin shit list. nier maybe the best but still not that great.

I thought this was a fucking joke

 

[Chechack]

13 sentinel yaaaassssss finally

 

[Bernoulli]

I thought this was a fucking joke

 

[mckmas8808]

Surprised to see people take these games so well. Are they really good?

 

[Solidus_T]

13 Sentinels is an absolute banger. I have a physical copy already. Also Star Ocean 6 and Civ VI are some very nice additions. Too bad I only have essential

 

[Del_X]

Zero regrets letting this expire

 

[K' Dash]

bleh.

They should have put more effort this month after what they did.

 

[Spyxos]

Hmm interesting month. 13 Sentinels and Nier Replicant i wanted to try out.

 

[Investor9872]

A great month for the Extra tier. I already own 13 Sentinels for my physical library, and am looking forward to Nier Replica (love Automata) and Star Ocean Divine Force. Can't wait!

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I bought Star Ocean recently and haven't started it yet
Nice to see Nier though!!!

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Nice to see Nier though!!!

Haha, I've done the same! Snagged a physical copy a month or so ago for €20.

Anyway, enjoy Nier!

 

[bitbydeath]

Will grab Civ6, don’t know enough about the others.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Drive-by review of 13 Sentinels:

Too many character storylines by the end, but great sci-fi for 2/3 of the game. The RTS is pretty half-baked, it’s all about the visual novel aspects, IMO.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Not bad at all. I never got around to playing Neir Replica but I loved autonoma (I don't remember if this is the name). Unpacking is a surprisingly pleasant and engaging puzzle lite.

 

[Neolombax]

Real solid if true. I hope it is. And I hope its the same games for SEA region, we have a tendency to get shafted when it comes to PS Plus games.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Surprised to see people take these games so well. Are they really good?

Yes.

They are also the type of games that I think most people would have had on their wishlist. At least I have. They're high-quality games, though.

And there will likely be ~12 more games in addition to the 6 mentioned above. And that makes it a very good month, in my opinion.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Just a heads up :

Nier replicant, while nice, looks very rough on a 4K screen, jaggies and blur-o-vision everywhere since it didn't receive a patch on PS and renders at 1080p.

 

[crackajack]

Not bad. We'll see if the full additions reflect better quality after the price hike.

There is practically zero chance the price hike will result in any change of the content.
Practically every significant game was or is on the service. Yakuza, Kingdom Hearts, Tomb Raider, Mafia, Metro, Avengers, AC, RDR2, Borderlands 3, much of the Bethesda catalogue...
The only missing major pieces are GTA 4 and 5, and the CoDs.
Almost all first party games are on the service and the price hike itself proves that Sony is already in the milking phase and not in the MAU acquiring phase like MS still is, so they want that sweet 70+ per purchase. And a day one fantasy is more unlikely than ever before.

The thing I don't get though is why they did not at least bundle the price change info with the start of PS5 streaming, which is about to arrive soon (-ish?). Sure, streaming will only be Premium, but at least they could have said this one thing. Maybe even throw in a free trial week each quarter of Premium for subscribing to Extra, and a some single weekends now and then for Essential users to make a half assed attempt on justifying higher prices with certainly big investment costs that streaming has.
They could also have waited a bit longer with R&C, Horizon, Returnal, Spiderman etc a list of their first party games and released it now to soften the blow.

I am not really upset about the new price but marketing wise just saying it costs more without anything is just bad.


No idea why people feel the need to leak such infos, apart from feeling important with their internet egos. If true, sort of meh month for me I guess. So more important and interesting will be which games are leaving for me.

Please everyone 100 percent 13 sentinels.
