All important information about the PS Plus Essential games in August 2025
Here we briefly introduce the three games:
Lies of P (PS5 / PS4): Lies of P is a dark action RPG in the soulslike style that reinterprets the story of Pinocchio. Playing as the mechanical puppet P, you fight your way through the decaying city of Krat to find your creator Gepetto – choices between lie and truth influence the course of the story.
The game features a challenging combat system with parrying, dodging, and customizable weapons. Stylistically, it is reminiscent of titles like Bloodborne, combined with a dark Belle Époque atmosphere and mechanical enemies.
Day Z (PS4): DayZ is an online survival game set in an open, post-apocalyptic world where players fight to survive after a zombie pandemic. You need to find food, water, weapons, and gear, avoid diseases, and defend against zombies as well as other players.
The appeal of DayZ lies in its ruthless atmosphere and unpredictable encounters with other survivors, who can be friendly or hostile. Every run is unique and there is constant danger, permadeath, and scarce resources, making every decision crucial.
My Hero One’s Justice 2 (PS4): My Hero One’s Justice 2 is a 3D arena fighting game based on the manga and anime series My Hero Academia. You control well-known characters like Deku, All Might, and Tomura Shigaraki, use their special powers, and fight against each other in destructible environments.
You can choose between hero or villain paths and compete in single or multiplayer mode. There are around 40 characters to choose from, and there are story and mission modes.
What else should I consider? If you haven’t claimed last month’s PS Plus games yet, you should hurry. As soon as the new games are available, the old ones will be disabled again. To claim the games, you must have the paid PS Plus
subscription for your PS4 or PS5.
