On Sept. 2, all PlayStation Plus members can play games like Psychonauts 2, the 2021 Game Awards nominee for Game of the Year. The original Psychonauts was highly praised for its comedic storytelling and unique characters when released in 2005, and the sequel received acclaim for its creativity, art style and humor.
PlayStation Plus is similar to Xbox Game Pass, offering subscribers a large, constantly expanding library of games. Subscribers can choose from the Essential, Extra and Premium tiers, each with unique perks and benefits. The plans start at $10 a month, giving you access to monthly games and rewards.
Here are the games all PS Plus subscribers can play starting on Sept. 2. You can also check out the games Sony added to the PS Plus Game Catalog in August, including Marvel’s Spider-Man.
Psychonauts 2
In this platformer, you’ll take control of Razputin “Raz” Aquato after the events of the first game. You’ve joined the international psychic espionage organization known as the Psychonauts, and you’ve got some internal problems to deal with: Your group’s leader is acting strange and there’s a mole in the organization. You’ll delve into the minds of friends and foes as you traverse quirky landscapes and solve puzzles to bring down the psychic villain.
Stardew Valley
This award-winning farm life simulator won the Golden Joystick Awards Breakthrough Award in 2016, and for good reason! There are tons of secrets to uncover, and a deep level of customization for your character and farm. Plus, it’s easy to get lost in the magic of the mundane tasks within the game. Stardew Valley helped bring cozy games to a wider audience, and it’s still highly praised almost a decade after its release.
In this game, you try to turn an old, dilapidated farm into a rural oasis. You can spend your time tilling the land and raising animals, or you can go into Pelican Town and interact with the locals. You pick what you want to do, but I can almost guarantee that no matter what you choose to do, you’ll have fun.
Viewfinder
M.C. Escher would probably love this puzzle game. You have an instant camera, and the pictures you take will help you traverse gaps and create doors out of seemingly thin air. This game will challenge you to change your perspective, and it will force you to reshape reality to achieve your goals.
