PlayStation Plus Essential will greet three new games.

Firstly, we have Yakuza: Like A Dragon. The game is available for PS4 and PS5. And, it takes the Yakuza series into the JRPG genre. Players will take on the role of Ichiban Kasuga, a yakuza grunt.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon brings the first wave of Yakuza titles coming to PS Plus. It’s the only one available in the Essential subscription tier. But, it’s also the one that brought evolution to the franchise.

The game breaks away from the other titles’ story and mechanics. It leaves the classic fighting gameplay. Instead, it introduces a plethora of RPG mechanics. Players can level up different characters in their party.

Of course, it’s a somewhat controversial title for fans. Some might not like how different it is. But, it’s definitely a unique experience that you should try.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 join PlayStation Plus Essentials in August

Fans have claimed that these games have been the best of a generation. For starters, it almost saved the franchise from hard times. It marked one of Activision’s most beloved releases. And, players get it for free on PS Plus.

The game released for both PlayStation and Xbox. And, it goes beyond good looks. The gameplay is almost perfect. It’s a fantastic remake of the first two games in the series.

Players have access to a fluid system. It allows for seamless combos and wonderful animations. Even the map remakes replicate their original counterparts perfectly. So, you get an amazing playground to enjoy with friends in local multiplayer.

Little Nightmares brings the spooks

Lastly, we have a gem of the platforming genre. Some claim it’s a combination of LittleBigPlanet and Silent Hill. The side-scrolling platformer brings up disturbing imagery with engaging gameplay.

Players have the task to help Six escape a harrowing ship. It’s filled with corrupted souls. Yet, the story is quite ambiguous. Escaping the many perils is as engaging as figuring out what’s going on.

It also conjures a special type of terror. It mirrors the fear of a child entering a world they don’t understand. Everything is huge. And, the protagonist is a tiny spec on their surroundings.

Naturally, it’s a fascinating experience. Plus, you get it for free with PlayStation Plus Essential in August.
