Earth Defense Force 6 (PS4, PS5)
Earth Defense Force 6 is a hectic third-person shooter in which players engage in conflict with gigantic alien insects, robots, and monsters in destructible surroundings.

Unicorn Overlord (PS5, PS4)
A tactical RPG by Vanillaware, mixing turn-based battle strategy of organizing armies and open world exploration, with a fantasy story about restoring a kingdom that was stolen.

Metacritic Score: 87
Indika (PS5)
Indika is a surreal narrative-driven exploration game in an alternate 19th-century Russia. It is a sequel to a young nun story in a strange world of religious visions, ethical questions, and dark humor. It integrates exploration, platforming, and narrative choice, airing the theme of faith, doubt, and identity, in an offbeat, visually striking experience.
Metacritic Score: 82
Harold Halibut (PS5)
Harold Halibut is a crafted, stop-motion influenced narrative adventure in a ship city stuck in the belly of an alien ocean.
Players follow Harold, a lab worker, as he searches for a way off the planet. The game combines exploration, conversational decisions, and genuine storytelling, and brings them all with a one-of-a-kind claymation style.
Metacritic Score: 69
Coral Island (PS5)
Coral Island
is a vibrant farming and life-simulation game where players can grow crops, raise animals, fish, and dive to restore coral reefs. Set in a tropical island community, it emphasizes sustainability, relationship-building, and environmental conservation, blending the charm of classic farm sims with a modern ecological message.
Metacritic Score: 82
PS Plus Premium classics include:
Resident Evil 2
The classic survival horror game from Capcom, released in 1998, follows Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield during a zombie outbreak in Raccoon City. With fixed camera angles, too-tight resource management, and puzzles to solve, it's got a reputation for atmosphere, branching story arms, and how it paved the way for the horror genre.
Metacritic Score: 91
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
This sequel came out in 1999 and revolves around the experience of Jill Valentine fleeing Raccoon City, who is persistently hunted by the powerful Nemesis monster. It achieves its reputation as an action game with dynamic enemy interactions and free choices, and branching paths through combat to match its tension as a survival horror game.
Metacritic Score: 79
