- September 05, 2023 / 12:00 PM: PS Plus – games available
Saints Row (2022)
What kind of game is this? Saints Row is an action game series by Deep Silver, characterized by lots of chaos, crazy gameplay elements, and nonsense, resembling a crazier and more brutal version of Grand Theft Auto (GTA).
The latest installment in the series also knows few limits – especially when it comes to nonsense and flat humor. Additionally, the offbeat title from 2022 brings a large open world and a whole new story that can also be played in coop mode.
However, the latest installment could not convince many fans of the “Saints Row” series. On Steam, Saints Row (2022) has only 60% positive user reviews. The Metacritic score is also rather disappointing. The PS5 version achieved only a 61 rating (via metacritic), while the PC version gets 65 out of 100 (via metacritic).
Black Desert – Traveler Edition
What kind of game is this? Black Desert is an MMORPG from the Korean developer studio Pearl Abyss. The MMORPG, released in Europe in 2016, offers a variety of different classes and a detailed character editor.
In addition, there is housing, endless possibilities to level up and upgrade your equipment, as well as pronounced PvP. Additionally, you can engage in side activities such as hunting and fishing.
With the Traveler Edition, you also benefit from an increased carrying capacity, an inventory expansion, and receive a mount called “White Mare,” a polar bear that helps you with fishing, and 1,000 pearls.
Black Desert is also among the 15 best MMOs and MMORPGs in 2023.
Generation Zero
What kind of game is this? Generation Zero is a coop shooter that takes place in the otherwise idyllic Sweden of the 1980s. You take on the role of a teenager who discovers that his hometown has been taken over by combat robots.
Alone or in coop with up to three other players, you collect weapons and equipment and fight your mechanical enemies.
As you progress through the game, you investigate the mystery surrounding the missing people and encounter particularly stubborn opponents that can only be defeated with teamwork.
You still have until September 05 to secure the PS Plus games for August 2023, in case you haven’t done that yet:
