PS Plus Essential Games September 2022 | Predictions & Leaks
So far we’ve had no leaks concerning the September 2022 free PlayStation Plus games, but we can make some informed predictions based off what we’ve had so far. Here are our predictions:
- Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag: Just like when Sony gave us God of War to get us ready for Ragnarök, we expect them to give us AC: Black Flag to get us in the mood for Skull & Bones.
- Matchpoint – Tennis Championship: They always give us at least one trash game that no-one wants just to fill up the space.
What do you think? Would you love to see this games, or would it be a disappointment? We all know you’re probably waiting for the Game of the Year anyway…
PS Plus Essential Games August 2022 | Confirmed
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 (PS4, PS5)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22MQBu_jiH4?rel=0
- User Score: 8.7
- Critics Score: 89
This is not just a big nostalgia hit, it’s also one of the best remakes in a while as well as one of the very few skating games in a long time. For everyone who used to love these games or who enjoys fun sports games, this is a must-play. It’s a fantastic package with all the content from the first two Pro Skater games, as well as some quality improvements and new music. You have to check this out, no questions.
Unfortunately, developers Vicarious Visions were hired to make Diablo Immortal, and further remakes of the classic games have been put on ice. Getting these first games for free is a nice consolation, though.
Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon (PS4, PS5)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkygiqC7ulQ?rel=0
- User Score: 8.3
- Critics Score: 86
Another slam dunk for next month’s PS Plus lineup. The Yakuza series is absolutely fantastic, and Yakuza 7 is no exception. If you enjoy wacky comedy and serious, brilliant storytelling, you need to play this, as Yakuza is excellent at both. The latest game in the Yakuza title also introduced a fantastic JRPG system and has a sequel in development. Even if you have never played a Yakuza game before, don’t let the high number scare you off: Like a Dragon is a reboot with a whole set of new characters and locations, so you can even start with this one.
Little Nightmares (PS4)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1UtH4KG6Xc?rel=0
- User Score: 8.1
- Critics Score: 78
The most niche game in this lineup is still a certified banger. Every fan of horror games needs to check out Little Nightmares, if they haven’t already. It’s a very clever, spooky little game with an amazing visual style and very smart puzzles and a stunning atmosphere.
Those are your PS Plus games for the month. Definitely check these games out, there is a high chance that you will have a good time with at least one of them.
