Sackboy: A Big Adventure | PS4, PS5
Metascore 79
Iconic PlayStation hero Sackboy bursts back into breathtaking action with a huge, fun and frantic 3D multiplayer platforming adventure. Go solo in an epic race against time stuffed with danger and peril or enjoy local or online party play, creating teams of two to four adventurers as you work together to overcome nefarious tasks however you can imagine, including unmissable co-op only levels.
Tails of Iron| PS4, PS5
Metascore 81
Set in a grim land plagued by war, Tails of Iron is a hand-drawn RPG Adventure with punishingly brutal combat. As Redgi, heir to the Rat Throne, you must restore your broken Kingdom by banishing the merciless Frog Clan and their ferocious leader, Greenwart. As you explore the deceivingly charming world, you’ll encounter a cast of unique companions, ready to aid you in your adventure. And you’ll need all the help you can get, whether that’s new meal recipes, blueprints to forge deadly weapons and armor, or even a land-chugging, armor-plated mole mobile!
Meet Your Maker | PS4, PS5
Meet Your Maker is a post-apocalyptic first-person building-and-raiding game where every level is designed by players. Switch between roles as you mastermind devious Outposts filled with traps and guards, then gear up for methodical fast-paced combat raiding other players’ creations, gaining an edge by choosing the right loadout (melee, ranged, defensive), perks, and consumables to match your challenge or playstyle. Combine your creativity and build with a friend or join forces to raid Outposts as a team of two.

sorted byExtra will also give you access to a catalogue of 100s of great games on top of the monthly games.
Premium will give you access to an extra catalogue of classic games from older PS consoles and some game trials, but many don't think it's worth the money for it's current offering. I have Premium but I think I've only played one game outside of the Extra and Essential games.
All packages will give you access to multiplayer.
Also I have just bought a PS5, do you get any free months of PS Plus?
Essential £50 or £42.85 using top-up

Such a clever creative game made in UK right out of Sheffield. Give it some love.
The sackboy games deserve more credit and the 2-4 player Coop are so much fun
Also worth noting there are quite a lot of free costumes which are kind of ok to pickup.
Very enjoyable game!
Only reason these games were ever added to the sub was to incentivise people to pay for services such as online play and voice chat which should be free.
Imagine voluntarily paying for what is essentially a scam and then complaining about it.
The cloud saves and online play are to ensure people sign up to it, and now a lot of people see the games as a 'bonus'. That's fine if that's when they got on the ship, but you can't say that "the only reason these games were EVER added to the sub was to incentivise people to pay for services". The games were there before anything else!
I'd also add that others, like myself, are tied into long term subscriptions from when the quality wasn't always this 'diverse'. PS+ used to be fantastic, and only had a few months when you'd think "what the hell?" Back in the PS3 days, it was excellent! But times change, I know that, however sony have this habit of shooting themselves in the foot. Many a month they'll give say 3 online party games at the same time, or 3 strategy games, or 3 racing games. I just don't get it.
I do understand that everyone's desires and wishes are different, absolutely. And there are times when I think "oh great month, but I have all 3 games so it's a waste for me". I'd still give it credit for that, and I accept it's a bit of a gamble.
At the same time, there's only a certain catalogue of games that they can offer, and until that changes, we're going to be stuck with it.
I am sure one of you guys bought the game recently...All I can say is, thank you for your sacrifice.
Not another very dated game! Noooooo!!!
That said buying a used copy of this will be cheaper than a subscription.
The other two are obviously all they had money left for after that
Sackboy is very average and a bit boring imo .
Will give meet your maker a go .
Although tails of iron is a great game that I hope more people try as it's a really good metroidvania that's challenging but not too hard and is narrated by the Witcher
