Monthly PlayStation Plus games don’t always wow with big-name releases. Luckily, this January is a standout, as Sony is rolling out several classic and newer AAA titles. Starting on January 21st, the legendary action-adventure, God of War Ragnarok, takes center stage. Also noteworthy is Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, a spin-off of the beloved Japanese crime drama series. These games are part of the nine titles being added to the PlayStation Plus Premium Tier, with two more included in the PlayStation Plus Extra Tier.
The God of War Legacy
The God of War franchise has persuaded many gamers to buy Sony consoles, beginning with its introduction on the PS2 back in 2005. God of War Ragnarok features a gripping narrative rooted in Scandinavian mythology. This game offers an epic journey, surpassing expectations in terms of content and playtime. While some players mention a slow pacing due to its length, the breathtaking graphics and polished combat mechanics manage to charm most critics.
New Gameplay in Like a Dragon
Most Like a Dragon titles are known for their intense beat-em-up gameplay. However, the 2023 release of Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name adds an optional Agent fighting style along with a variety of neat gadgets. Initially, the game was planned as downloadable content for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, which launched just a few months later. As a result, some reviewers felt that its storyline lacked the strength to stand independently. Nevertheless, it’s definitely worth a try as part of January’s PlayStation Plus lineup.
Full List of Titles
Here are the other nine games being included:
– Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand
– SD Gundam Battle Alliance
– Sayonara Wild Hearts
– ANNO: Mutationem
– Orcs Must Die 3
– Citizen Sleeper
– Poker Club
– Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings
– Medievil 2
Until Indiana Jones and the Great Circle arrives on the PS5 this Spring, PlayStation fans will need to turn to older titles. Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings isn’t exactly the ultimate whip-cracking adventure, having received a tepid response back in 2009. Many of the complaints were about the inaccurate Wii motion controls, but PS5 users can use regular controllers. For both Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings and Medievil 2, players will require a PlayStation Plus Platinum tier subscription.
PlayStation Plus games are only available for a limited time, so don’t hesitate. Once you download a title, it stays available for as long as you have a subscription.
