The 10 Best PlayStation Plus Games Released In 2021
Ever since PlayStation announced its Playstation Plus program we have seen some incredible games announced for it. Sometimes games release as a Playstation Plus title and go on to become massive hits like Rocket League and Fall Guys. Overall, it’s a great value and something we can’t recommend enough.
Overcooked: All You Can Eat
If you’re looking for a fun game to play with friends then look no further than Overcooked: All You Can Eat. When we saw that this was going to be a Playstation Plus title we were ecstatic. It’s a fun cooperative game where you and your friends must work together to prepare dishes and save the world. The environments are fantastic. The level design is top-notch. It’s a fantastic game and one of the more recent gems that we’ve seen.
Synopsis: “Overcooked!, Overcooked! 2 and all additional content are blended and remastered in this delicious definitive edition! Enjoy hundreds of levels of cooperative cooking chaos across increasingly perilous and obscure kitchens.”
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4
Call of Duty Black Ops 4 brought some of the things that made Black Ops 3 one of the greatest shooters ever and tried to innovate in a way that would feel different but just as good. The operatives that you’re able to choose this time around feel a lot more fluid and we enjoy how much more tactical it all feels. The zombies are also once again one of the highlights of the series.
Synopsis: “Black Ops 4 features gritty, grounded, fluid Multiplayer combat, the biggest Zombies offering ever with five full undead adventures, and Blackout, where the universe of Black Ops comes to life in two massive battle-royale experiences.”
Days Gone
Zombies, infected, walkers, or whatever you want to call them are one of the most prominent figures in gaming as of late. So it takes a lot to take the concept and make something that is unique and special. Days Gone succeeds in making an open-world zombie game where you feel overwhelmed by just how extensive the zombie outbreak has gotten. It is one of Sony’s new exclusives and one we hope you were able to get.
Synopsis: “Days Gone is an open-world action-adventure game set in a harsh wilderness two years after a devastating global pandemic. Play as Deacon St. John, a Drifter and bounty hunter who rides the broken road, fighting to survive while searching for a reason to live.”
Zombie Army 4
As we said, zombies are in. Zombie Army 4 is a fun cooperative zombie adventure that is just plain old fun. The campaign is interesting and it allows you to join up to three of your friends on the adventure. It’d be a shame if you didn’t try it.
Synopsis: “Hitler’s hordes are back for more in this spine-chilling shooter from the makers of Sniper Elite 4! Abominable occult enemies, epic weapons, and a harrowing new campaign for 1-4 players await in 1940s Europe, as you fight to save humankind from undead Armageddon!”
Final Fantasy 7 Remake
If you haven’t heard about this game then you must not like watching awards shoes, gaming conventions, and youtube gaming trailers. Because Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a game that fans waited a long time for. So it’s nice to see it be free for everyone who owns Playstation Plus.
Synopsis: “The world is under the control of Shinra, a corporation controlling the planet’s life force as mako energy. In the city of Midgar, Cloud Strife, a former member of Shinra’s elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary lends his aid to the Avalanche resistance group, unaware of the epic consequences that await him.”
Remnant: From The Ashes
Playstation Plus has been great about giving us games that we can play with friends. This makes sense since if you play online then it usually means you own a Playstation Plus subscription which means you’d be able to get these games.
Synopsis: “Remnant: From the Ashes is a third-person survival action shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by monstrous creatures. As one of the last remnants of humanity, you’ll set out alone or alongside up to two other survivors to face down hordes of deadly enemies and epic bosses, and try to retake what was lost.”
Control: Ultimate Edition
Control was one of the surprise game of the year contenders to come out of 2020. So to see it become a free game of the month was a welcomed surprise. It features a unique approach to gameplay and storytelling which will have players hanging to the edge of their seats. Not to mention that this is the Ultimate Edition which comes with some extra goodies for all the players.
Synopsis: “After a secretive agency in New York is invaded by an otherworldly threat, you become the new Director struggling to regain Control.”
Hitman 2
The game about the traveling assassin is back and was brought to us for free through PlayStation Plus in September. Hitman 2 allows players to hop back into the life of Agent 47 as he completes objectives with whatever he has at his disposal. Hitman has become known for allowing you to choose how you approach targets and rewarding you for doing it in a way that no one else has. A must-have.
Synopsis: “Travel the globe and track your targets across exotic sandbox locations in HITMAN™ 2. From sun-drenched streets to dark and dangerous rainforests, nowhere is safe from the world’s most creative assassin, Agent 47.”
Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning
This game was ahead of its time when it first came out so to see it return and get another chance is music to our ears. Playstation must have thought so because it featured it as a Playstation Plus title to make sure that everyone else would get a chance to experience the world of Kingdoms of Amalur.
Synopsis: “The hit RPG returns! From the minds of the bestselling author R.A. Salvatore, Spawn creator Todd McFarlane, and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion lead designer Ken Rolston, comes Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning. Remastered with stunning visuals and refined gameplay Re-Reckoning delivers intense, customizable RPG combat inside a sprawling game world.”
Lego: DC Super-Villains
Has it really been a year if Playstation doesn’t give us at least one of the Lego games? Thankfully it’s one of the best ones the franchise has ever released. Lego: DC Super-Villains allows you to take control of some of your favorite villains in the DC universe while also allowing you to create your own. It has its own unique story to tell and it’s a must-grab for all Playstation fans.
Synopsis: “It’s good to be bad… Embark on an all-new DC/LEGO® adventure by becoming the best villain the universe has seen. Players will create and play as an all-new super-villain throughout the game, unleashing mischievous antics and wreaking havoc in an action-packed story.”
