20 Must-play Blockbusters in the Playstation Plus Game Catalogue

20 Must-play Blockbusters in the Playstation Plus Game Catalogue: Numerous PS4 and PS5 titles are in the hundreds and are available to subscribers of PlayStation Plus. We’ve done the hard work for you and narrowed down the PlayStation Plus library to the top 20 games.

The long-awaited update to Sony’s PlayStation Plus service is finally live, making the absurd library of playable games available to users everywhere. Sony decided to streamline its PlayStation services by merging PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now, codenamed Project Spartacus.

PlayStation Plus is now available in three different paid tiers to better meet the demands of users, and if you decide to subscribe to the Premium tier, you’ll have the daunting (and exciting) prospect of choosing from over 700 games.

Anti-Syphon Filter PS1

Syphon Filter is one of the many iconic series that helped define the Playstation 1 era. The first Syphon Filter game included combat between Gabe Logan and a variety of unique and challenging enemies, and its stealth mechanics were on par with those of Metal Gear Solid.

Buzz Lightyear Saves the Day! – Toy Story 2 for PlayStation

Is Toy Story 2 better since it is based on the first, critically acclaimed film in the series? Yes. But who cares, seeing it for ourselves was a fantastic adventure.

Playing Buzz Lightyear and experiencing the movie’s events in novel ways was such a joy that we can forgive the game’s clunky platforming and warped camera mechanics. This is one of the main draws of the revamped PlayStation Plus model, particularly for games like Toy Story 2 that have stood the test of time.

PlayStation One’s Resident Evil Director’s Cut

Resident Evil: Director’s Cut is a terrifyingly good game with a few tweaks that make it even better for fans. Anyone with PS Plus Premium who hasn’t played a Resident Evil game on PS4 or PS5 and experienced its challenging survival horror should rectify that immediately. Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine fans alike can rejoice at the opportunity to witness the series’ progression to the point of Resident Evil Village.

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy – PS2

We understand that Naughty Dog has been busy with the miniseries The Last of Us, but Jak and Daxter need more attention. Naughty Dog’s next project after the Crash Bandicoot games was the platformer Jak and Daxter. A platformer is so charming and full of personality that it spawned multiple spinoffs. Even while we’re still holding out hope that Jak and Daxter 4 will be developed, we can always re-experience the original game on PlayStation Plus and anticipate the surprise movie in the meantime.

PlayStation 2 Game: Dark Cloud 2 / Dark Chronicle

Dark Cloud 2 / Dark Chronicle goes by different names depending on your location, but there’s no denying the epic nature of the game’s content. There’s a wide variety of activities to engage in, from shaping the landscape and constructing settlements to battling through dangerous underground caverns in pursuit of knowledge and wealth. This game has held up quite well and is a worthy addition to the library.

PlayStation 2’s Shadow of the Colossus

The team behind ICO is well-respected because of the positive reception their games, ICO and Shadow of the Colossus in particular, received from critics. A classic that has survived the passage of time and the introduction of new gaming platforms. The game’s simple concept—travel across an interesting environment and defeat 16 giants—is not what made it famous, however.

PS3: Devil May Cry HD Remastering Collection

It turned out for the best that Capcom’s Devil May Cry was formed from disagreements about the direction of a Resident Evil game, as the series has endured for a very long time.

Gameplay consists primarily of controlling Dante and slashing your way through waves of demons as they try to kill you. The wit and violence of Dante, as well as the many other features, make the DMC games instant must-haves for PlayStation Plus.

PS4’s Bloodborne

Taking into account the scope and commercial success of Elden Ring in 2022, we conclude that Bloodborne is FromSoftware’s finest achievement to date.

The dark, dreary lanes of Yharnam unnerve and captivate explorers because they are unlike any other. Everywhere you turn, unspeakable terror awaits, and the gameplay moves at a breakneck pace, keeping you on your toes (curled toes, that is). Even though a remaster or upgraded PS5 version of Bloodborne has not been announced, you can still play one of the best souls games ever made on your PS4 or PS5 using PS Plus.

Power Station 4 Controls

Until Jesse Faden showed up in this strange supernatural action game where you get to use some tasty powers, Remedy Entertainment was best known for Alan Wake.

Control’s gameplay is its strongest point, but the game’s persistent mystery is what keeps the plot interesting all the way through. There are a plethora of tactics one can employ in battle, such as telekinesis, mind-controlled weapons, and even a form of aerial propulsion. Hours can pass in a flash as you wander the mind-bending realm of Control.

PS4’s Days Gone

Even though it seemed impossible that a new zombie game could do so in 2019, Days Gone did just that. It has some of the best zombie-themed ambiance and its massive hordes of the undead will give you real nightmares. The characters and plot of Days Gone are the most neglected aspects of the game. Its alternating perspectives lead us down some dark alleys, and it concludes on an unexpectedly stunning note, leaving the door open for a potential sequel.

Battlegrounds (Ps4)

We won’t get into specifics for DOOM 2016, since it would be unfair to the adrenaline-pumping, bone-crushing rollercoaster that is this game. Doomguy, as you control him, must wipe out every monster in the game. And that’s about all there is to it. It boasts a huge (pardon the language) soundtrack, is a glutton for bloody firearms, and remains entertaining throughout its lengthy playtime. Ever.

The Ninth Final Fantasy on the PlayStation 2

Are you anticipating the arrival of Final Fantasy VII? When you consider upcoming projects like Final Fantasy Rebirth and the Crisis Core Remake, we think FF7 has already had enough of the limelight.

PlayStation Plus includes Final Fantasy VII, but it’s Final Fantasy IX that deserves your attention because Square Enix reignited the series’ charm with this entry. The business has an uncanny aptitude for assembling a dynamic cast of characters and endowing them with fun skills and personality quirks. Don’t miss out on Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age when it’s free on PS4 and PS5 with PS Plus; it’s one of the best games out there and justly deserves a remake.

Playstation 4 Version of God of War (2018)

Probably the most daring move ever made in the game business was to change the protagonist of God of War from a vengeful, violent, and bitter Kratos maniacally mutilating Greek gods to an older, humbled parent figure in Norse mythology.

Get the word out, since it was a smashing success. The game’s dynamic was drastically altered when Kratos was confined to a third-person perspective and his jumping ability was taken away. The game’s plot is unparalleled, and it serves as an excellent primer for the massive God of War: Ragnarok. The game’s technical achievements are also impressive.

Specters of the Tsushima Disaster for the PlayStation 4

Since creating a kicking-ass raccoon in Sly Cooper, inFamous’ genetically-altered super being Cole MacGrath, and now Jin Sakai, a noble Japanese warrior fending against the Mongol invasion, it’s evident that Sucker Punch Studios’ talents know no bounds.

The word “beautiful” doesn’t do justice to the stunning visuals in Ghost of Tsushima, but that’s not all it has going for it. This free-roaming environment is teeming with delights, and it’s rounded out with genuine side quests like discovering holy places and writing Haikus. The revitalizing success of Ghost of Tsushima has sparked hopes for a sequel.

PS4’s Mortal Kombat 11

Mortal Kombat 11 is perhaps the most polished and horrible Mortal Kombat game to date, and the fact that it is available for free to PlayStation Plus subscribers is great.

Eventually, Mortal Kombat 11 will be superseded by Mortal Kombat 12, which is currently under development. Enjoy the game’s violent plot and get good at its complex battle system till then.

PS4’s Red Dead Redemption 2

It’s easy to overlook Rockstar Games’ other titles in favor of GTA when that series dominates the company’s public consciousness. Rockstar packed Red Dead Redemption’s open world with every imaginable goal and distraction, making it a brilliant tutorial on how to implement the old sandbox mainstays in a bygone age.

What’s more, is that Red Dead Redemption 2 did all of that and more. The PlayStation 4 version of Red Dead Redemption 2 has received a Metacritic score of 97, solidifying its position as a contender for the title of the finest video game of all time. That’s because the game has a deep environment that keeps players engaged for a long time. RDR2 is the product of a lot of hard work, and if you have PlayStation Plus you’re just a few clicks away from experiencing what all the excitement is about.

The Tetris Effect Playstation 4

You have every right to wonder how a game that has been around since 1984 can possibly be better than ever in its latest iteration. While the core concept that has made Tetris so enjoyable for so long remains the same, the improved presentation and depth of gameplay make Tetris Effect a joy to sink hours into. The game’s relaxing atmosphere, captivating music, and plenty of challenging game variations are all modern updates that stay true to the original Tetris while expanding on it in exciting ways.

A Thief’s End, Uncharted 4 for PlayStation 4

Naughty Dog’s next major project after Jak and Daxter was Uncharted. While the original game didn’t succeed perfectly, it did set the stage for the subsequent games, and by the time we got to Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, everything in Nathan Drake’s life had come full circle.

When Drake is reunited with his brother Sam, the two embark on a final adventure that surpasses anything we’ve seen from Uncharted so far. Naughty Dog finally got to realize their Uncharted ambition thanks to the expanded scope made available by PlayStation’s newer hardware. The customary blockbuster set-pieces and elaborately crafted dialogue are present as expected.

PS4’s Until Dawn

Supermassive Games has graduated from its former role as a provider of adorable content for LittleBigPlanet to its current status as an esteemed expert in the field of interactive video games.

PlayStation Plus members can play Until Dawn, the game that sparked the studio’s shift toward a more story-driven approach to game design and inspired titles like The Quarry. You are the author of Until Dawn; your choices affect not only the plot but also the characters’ eventual fates. Pick carefully.

The New and Improved Demon’s Souls for the PlayStation 5

To bring Demon’s Souls to the PS5 in such a spectacular form, Bluepoint Games must have sold their soul. Demon’s Souls is a seminal work in the development of a genre that FromSoftware has gone on to define and develop.

The original Demon’s Souls holds up quite well for its age, and Bluepoint made sure to make a few adjustments so that the PS5 remake can hold its own. If you have PlayStation Plus but have never played a Souls game, you should give it a shot. What could possibly go wrong, besides your 1.2 millionth death?
