More games will be added to thePlayStation Plus Premiumand Extra game catalog in less than a week, so now is the best time to catch up on some July additions you might have missed. Last month was a surprisingly strong one for the service, as it got plenty of compelling additions across all fronts. While additions likeRemnant IIandCrisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reuniongarnered the most attention as the highest-profile releases, several games that are more underrated than those slipped into PS Plus’ game catalog at the same time. As such, I’m recommending three of those games to people looking for something to play on PS Plus this weekend.
No More Heroes 3
No More Heroes 3is a ridiculous game from eccentric game developer Suda51 and his development studio Grasshopper Manufacture. It’s an entertaining action game with hilarious writing and an enjoyable story about Travis Touchdown working his way up the Galactic Superhero Rankings to take on an alien prince named FU. What really gives the No More Heroes games their distinct flair is the fact that they aren’t afraid to get meta.No More Heroes 3will constantly call out the player directly and will sometimes even change up its gameplay, so it’s better that I don’t spoil that much and just recommend that you go and check this one out for yourself.No More Heroes 3is available on PS4 and PS5 through the PS Plus Premium and Extra Game Catalog. It’s also on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
The Jackbox Party Pack 9
The Jackbox Party Pack games are some of the most approachable multiplayer games out there, so it’s always a good thing when you can get access to one for three.The Jackbox Party Pack 9features five different social multiplayer games, with the headliner being the latest version ofFibbage. Outside of that, you can try out the reality-show-themedRoomerang, the sales-pitch and haggling-focusedJunktopia, the prompt-based drawing gameNonsensory, and the block and word sorting gameQuixort.Fibbage 4andNonsensorywere the standouts to me. The PS4 and PS5 versions ofThe Jackbox Party Pack 9are now in PS Plus Extra’s game catalog. It’s also available on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and iOS.
