Mafia: Definitive Edition (PS4)
Explore a recreated 1930’s cityscape, filled with interwar architecture, cars and culture… and a crime-riddled underbelly in this full remake of the 2002 original. Rise up through the ranks of the Mafia during the Prohibition era of organized crime. After a run-in with the mob, cab driver Tommy Angelo is thrust into a deadly underworld. Initially uneasy about falling in with the Salieri crime family, Tommy soon finds that the rewards are too big to ignore.

Step into the shoes of Ash Williams or his friends from the iconic Evil Dead franchise and work together in a game loaded with over-the-top co-op and PVP multiplayer action! Play as a team of four survivors, exploring, looting, managing your fear, and finding key items to seal the breach between worlds in a game inspired by all three original Evil Dead films as well as the STARZ original Ash vs Evil Dead television series.

OlliOlli World (PS5 | PS4)

Traverse a delightful and weird world as you take on missions, challenges, and make new friends along the way. Customize your character’s looks, tricks, and style while you experience explorable levels with multiple paths that provide an array of opportunities for player expression.

Destiny 2 Beyond Light (PS5 | PS4)
A new power is born out of the ancient Pyramid Ship above Europa's frozen frontier and a dark empire has risen beneath. In Destiny 2: Beyond Light, join your fellow Guardians and bring down the empire at any cost – even if it means wielding the Darkness itself.

A New Destination
In Destiny 2: Beyond Light, Guardians will explore a new destination: Jupiter’s frozen moon of Europa. Brave harsh weather conditions and uncover the secrets that lie deep under the ancient ice.

Wield the Darkness
As a new threat emerges, so too does a mysterious new power – Stasis. Rooted in Darkness, Guardians will wield this new elemental power to dominate the battlefield. Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters each wield Stasis in a different way, with amazing new subclasses to explore.

    Fyi, grab these games if you haven't already before the Plus Collection comes to an end.

    This is the list of games in that collection

    WARNING! PS Plus Collection (extra PS5 games) closing from 9th May

    So get claiming, active as long as you have a sub, best way is via the console

    pushsquare.com/new…ion


    It's also worth mentioning that many of these games are available through PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium. Only three of these titles are not a part of the broader subscription, those being Battlefield I, Call of Duty Black Ops III, and Monster Hunter: World.

    Only good if you have a PS5 though. Shame really.

    Not a bad month I'd say.

    Destiny DLC is a bit crap. TBH, I expected with Sony purchasing Bungie that the PS players would have already gotten more free Destiny stuff, but at this point it seems too late to jump in anyway.
    snotters's avatar
    It's never too late to jump into Destiny 2. I had a few years off from it but started it again last year. There's a lot of original content they removed, and a lot they added. It can be very daunting at first, not knowing where to start but the game sort of steers you in the right direction (the playable campaigns are highlighted, although Bungie haven't made the effort to make it particularly clear to new or returning players). The main trouble is, as with all the Destiny dlc, you soon find yourself having finished it all (unless playing it online appeals to you, which it never did to me). Which is a pity, as I always thought the game mechanics and gun play were second to none.

    Embarrassing for games to be at 30fps on the PS5.
    PeregrinTook's avatar
    Not really, maybe at the end of the generation. There'll be games on PS5/Series X at 30fps for a while yet, look at Starfield for example.
  5. MattR95's avatar
    Is Beyond Light the latest one, or would you need to buy other stuff to catch up? (Well it's Destiny so you'd probably be missing loads anyway I guess)
    steviecrocker's avatar
    It’s nearly two years old now. Witch Queen is the latest (released February 2022) and the next expansion, Lightfall, is out next month.
  6. Cheeter's avatar
    Still no compelling reason to keep my PS5. Bored of Gran Turismo now, and there's nothing else I can't already get on PC that I actually want to play. Gamepass for PC is a way better proposition than what Sony offer.
    HairyFist's avatar
    Cool… meanwhile the rest of us will enjoy what it has to offer.
  7. BluesFanUK's avatar
    Right now i'm paying £50 a year just to keep my game saves uploaded to the cloud, and for online play requirements purely for trophy hunting. Not terrible in terms of monthly costs, but Sony make it really hard to justify even owning a console these days.
    DeanoNI's avatar
    What is it you’re getting at? You don’t have to pay for those features if you don’t want to,the console is perfectly playable without paying that annual subscription. And why aren’t you downloading the monthly games included in your subscription? I’ve a library of hundreds of games for such a small cost.
  8. IronopolisRedux's avatar
    Olli Olli world is brilliant, really addictive and quite challenging.
    Lococol's avatar
    Thanks. I'll check it out.
  9. Moody_Cloud's avatar
    Mafia is a fantastic remake. Turn the HDR off though, no amount of tweaking got it to look quite right. It was just too bright in most scenes.

    A bit cheeky to give DLC away but I guess it can be seen as a bonus considering we get three very good games this month.
    Greatgamesby's avatar
    Have they updated the controls? Usually with these old games it has the old controls that are not responsive.
  10. format's avatar
    nice, though anyone know if destiny is playable up to current content with this ? have destiny 2 but not the many addons
    Kaashif_Hussain's avatar
    This is the previous expansion so unfortunately no. The current content is from the witch queen expansion which ends 28th Feb. So besides the f2p seasonal content it'll be limited. But with this you can play the beyond light campaign and its associated content.
  11. Singhpin's avatar
    If one wanted to get into Destiny, how quick can you level up so you’re not being carried by team mates and can do some decent missions or whatever you call them in D?
    FrankTheFurter's avatar
    Doesn't take long anymore tbf. They significantly reduced the overall power grind a while back. It's only really a heavy grind now if you want to go for the endgame content in as little time as possible. Playing campaigns will get you the blue drops you'd need to be near or at the soft cap (or whatever it's called)

    Not available until 6th feb

    Destiny.... ugh. Everything that's wrong with a once great dev in one awful package
  15. DazLFC's avatar
    Awful line up
    Moody_Cloud's avatar
    You should see what the guys over on Xbox are getting
  16. joanddan7's avatar
    Cracking month. 

    be impossible to moan at these….

    EDIT - oh. Apparently not

    Does destiny even count as a give away?
    EugeneVictorTooms's avatar
    Think it's paid dlc that they're 'giving' away. Not sure though, not a game I play. (edited)
  20. ollien's avatar
    Great selection. Give Evil Dead a punt if you're on the fence, been playing since launch and it's a great game once you get the hang of everything. Matchmaking has been fairly slow recently this should help!
  21. Transmat's avatar
    Shame Mafia is still only 30fps. I might give Destiny a butchers and see what it's all about.
    boulder1's avatar
    Such a shame. I haven't gone back to a 30fps game in a while, and this seems like it would really benefit from being 60fps.
  22. Serpico73's avatar
    £6.99 price forced onto the deal. Love it Of course I bought Olli Ollie world last month . Great variant in selection for those that don't own them. Heat (edited)
    TheAmazing_Spider-Fan's avatar
    I too bought Olli Olli World last month too 🙇 so I feel the pain.

    However I'm here for Evil Dead!
  23. Bailey_Makepeace's avatar
    Mafia is such an underrated game, the storytelling and the cut scenes don't do it enough justice.
    ugleymatt's avatar
    Played it when it first came on out on PC, its great.
    The shootout in the thunderstorm is a great level
  24. HokkaHokka's avatar
    Will give Olli Olli World a go
  25. Lil6ix's avatar
    This is great news, Mafia is an awesome game! Thing with Essentials you get atleast one decent game per month.. with Xbox you get rubbish indie titles.
    0m4d's avatar
    If you want better titles on Xbox might as well do the gold conversation trick to ultimate, much better selection
  26. XP200's avatar
    My god, just do away with this teir level if this is the guff they are giving out. lol
  27. hatot's avatar
    Cool need a sub now
  28. Cuppabrew's avatar
    Looking forward to having a go of Oli Oli world, the other two are unreal.
  29. niknak's avatar
    Some Co-op goodness in these titles plus Mafia and OlliOlli which I've only ever played the original on the Vita - brutally pixel perfect timing required if I remember rightly!
    Serpico73's avatar
    Olli Olli world much more newbie friendly. I wizzed through it and found Olli Olli 2 solid
  30. deleted1560391's avatar
    Very nice

    Happy with Mafia, I played it a while back when PS now was a thing and enjoyed it.
    Gonna go back to it at some point and finish the platinum, that damn racing mission though…
    Māsharu_Rou's avatar
    That race killed the platinum for me.
  33. snotters's avatar
    I mean, I have 3 of these on the XB but PS Plus are at least making an effort with the Essentials monthly games compared to Games With Gold. But then with GOG you're really just paying for access to Gamepass (cue comments saying "Gamepass sucks, XBox sucks...!")
    Dee_Dubyah's avatar
    I totally agree - only annoying thing for me is Mafia is probably the main game on the list but only a PS4 version - great if you have a PS4 still but a bit meh if you have a PS5
  34. Carlos_Carlitos's avatar
    Such a shame that mafia didn't get any next gen upgrades
    Lococol's avatar
    Is it still only 30fps?
  35. Adddddd's avatar
    Give Evil dead a try, even if it doesn't appeal to you. Play it early on before everyone knows what they're doing otherwise it can be hard to get into.
  36. callum_guy's avatar
    Nice additions, 60fps patch for Mafia would be ideal
  37. YoshimiMac's avatar
    Wasn't Mafia already a PS Plus Extra game? Is this the first time an extra game has become an Essential game?
    JUNR786's avatar
    I guess you could count black ops 3 being on the ps plus collection and then gave away again for the main plus monthly games
  38. MRP's avatar
    Very strong lineup.
  39. Indigorush's avatar
    I very nearly got Olli Olli World and Mafia Definitive over Christmas. Glad I waited
  40. DJSlime's avatar
    Olli Olli World and Mafia were both on my list to play, so this is nice.
