6 MUST PLAY PlayStation Plus Games
PlayStation Plus is packed with incredible games, but with so many choices, it’s easy to miss some absolute gems. If you’re into challenging action RPGs, immersive open-world adventures, or addictive indie hits, there’s something here for everyone. Here are six of the best games currently available on PlayStation Plus that you should download and play ASAP.
Bloodborne – A Gothic Masterpiece
Genre: Action RPG
Why You Should Play: If you love challenging, atmospheric worlds, Bloodborne is a must-play. This FromSoftware classic delivers intense combat, eerie storytelling, and one of the most unique gothic horror settings in gaming. It’s widely regarded as one of the greatest PlayStation exclusives of all time.
While its fast-paced, aggressive combat might be intimidating, it’s also immensely rewarding. If you haven’t played Bloodborne yet, now’s the perfect time to jump in and experience the horror.
Dredge – A Fishing Game with a Dark Twist
Genre: Adventure/Light Horror
Why You Should Play: Love a relaxing game with an unsettling atmosphere? Dredge blends peaceful fishing with cosmic horror, making it one of the most unique and compelling indie games in recent years.
As you explore the ocean, strange things start happening, and you’ll slowly uncover the eerie mysteries of the world. It’s calming yet nerve-wracking, and the thrill of discovery keeps you hooked (see what I did there?).
Moonlighter – Dungeon Crawling Meets Shopkeeping
Genre: Action RPG/Simulation
Why You Should Play: Moonlighter combines two incredible genres into one addictive gameplay loop: by day, you're a shopkeeper, selling goods and managing your business, and by night, you're a dungeon-crawling warrior, fighting off enemies and collecting loot. Just like real life!
Its beautiful pixel art, fun economy system, and fast-paced combat feels right at home for fans of classic Zelda-style games. If you’re into strategy, management, and action RPGs, (and you don’t have a full time job) this one is a hidden gem on PlayStation Plus.
Age of Wonders: Planetfall – Civilization Meets Sci-Fi Strategy
Genre: Turn-Based Strategy/4X
Why You Should Play: Love strategy games like Civilization? Age of Wonders: Planetfall puts a futuristic, sci-fi twist on the genre by blending deep empire management with tactical, turn-based battles.
Unlike Civ, where combat is automated, here you actually control your units in battle, making every decision and skirmish feel meaningful. If you enjoy games that require long-term planning, tactical depth, and rich storytelling, this is a must-play. Not into the sci-fi aesthetic? Try out Age of Wonders 4 for a similar-type game, but in a fantasy/D&D setting!
Ghost of Tsushima – One of the Best Open-World Games Ever
Genre: Action-Adventure/Open-World
Why You Should Play: Ghost of Tsushima isn’t just one of the best PlayStation exclusives—it’s one of the best open-world games, period. Stunning visuals, fluid combat, and an emotionally gripping story make this an essential experience.
Unlike many open-world games, Ghost of Tsushima has incredible pacing, always guiding you naturally toward new discoveries without feeling overwhelming. Plus, the cinematic samurai action will have you feeling like you're in a classic Kurosawa film.
inFAMOUS: Second Son – Superpowers Done Right
Genre: Open-World/Superhero Action
Why You Should Play: If you love open-world action games and superpowers, Infamous: Second Son is a must-play. You control Delsin Rowe, a rebellious hero who discovers he has incredible elemental abilities like smoke, neon, and video-based powers.
Set in a gorgeously detailed Seattle (without the rain), Infamous: Second Son lets you choose between good and evil paths, affecting both your story and abilities. Despite being one of Sony’s best superhero games, the Infamous series hasn’t gotten the reboot it deserves—so don’t miss out on this classic.
These six games offer something for everyone: brutal action RPGs, relaxing-yet-creepy adventures, and strategic empire-building. If you have PlayStation Plus, you owe it to yourself to check out these incredible titles before they disappear.
