PlayStation Plus game catalog additions for September 2024
Plucky Squire is certainly the main game of the month as it lands directly on PlayStation Plus, allowing players to explore a mix of 2D and 3D gameplay elements. “Plucky Squire follows the magical adventures of Jot and his companions, fairy tale characters, as they explore the 3D world beyond the pages of their book,” reads the official synopsis.
Under the Waves is a narrative-driven adventure game about grief set in the North Sea during the techno-futuristic 1970s. Players have the chance to explore not only a deep, murky, surreal underwater landscape, but also the deepest recesses of the human psyche.
Next up is the adventure and exploration game Night in the Woods, which will give PS Plus members who haven’t had a chance to check out the 2017 game yet a chance to experience it. “Night in the Woods’ exploration of youth is charming, funny, and devastatingly sad at once,” IGN said in our 8/10 review.
Completely different, Chernobylite promises to be a sci-fi survival horror experience, combining free-roaming exploration of a disturbing world with challenging combat, unique crafting, and non-linear storytelling. It was released in 2021 and has a sequel on the way.
A football version of NBA Playground arrived in 2023 as Wild Card Football. Its developer, Saber Interactive, said it “elevates the fun and excitement of football with exciting arcade action and features a massive roster of hundreds of real-life players with detailed player models and animations.”
Space Engineers is a sandbox game for fans of science fiction and vaccinations, about engineering, construction, and maintenance of space facilities. It was announced a decade ago but only came out in 2019, joining PlayStation Plus rival Xbox Game Pass in February 2024.
Set to be as wild and crazy as some real-world road trips, Road 96 lets players travel through a procedurally generated adventure over and over again. “Road 96 is a compelling and often tense adventure that manages to keep its story on track despite the odd bump in the road,” IGN said in our 8/10 review.
Players may finish Ben 10 faster than they can say “hero time,” but that doesn’t mean it won’t be a blast, right? “As Ben Tennyson, it’s your job to save the day,” the synopsis reads. “Face off against some of Ben’s most infamous foes, including Zombozo, Queen Bee, and the Weatherheads.”
The penultimate installment (for now) in Ubisoft’s open-world first-person shooter series, Far Cry 5 takes players to the Deep South of the United States as they attempt to escape and destroy a doomsday cult that is trying to take over the entire country. The game also received an 8/10 in IGN’s review: “Far Cry 5 is another open-world playground with all the necessary ingredients for real mayhem: lots of enemies and allies, capricious wildlife, and plenty of explosions.”
Pistol Whip is a September VR game that gives PSVR2 users an action-packed rhythm game combined with the first-person shooter genre. “Pistol Whip is a VR hit with fast-paced rhythm shooting, an exciting soundtrack, and an enticingly abstract art style,” IGN said in another 8/10 review.
Did you know that Clank from Ratchet and Clank had a secret agent alter ego? No? That’s probably it! Secret Agent Clank is a 2008 PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable game that made it into the PS Plus Classic Games catalog. IGN’s 6/10 review says we don’t hate this game, but we’re just disappointed with it.
Sky Gunner is a third-person combat flight simulator from 2000, originally released for the PlayStation 2. The game has been enhanced with up-rendering, rewind, quicksave, and custom video filters, but now features a contemporary takeoff style.
