Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for February 2025? – Push Square
GuestGuestLogin | Sign UpPush SquareGuestLogin or Sign UpPlus or minus?After what has felt like the longest January of all time, February has finally arrived, and it brings with it a new selection of PS Plus Essential monthly games.The question is, how are you feeling about this new trio of titles? Let’s go over what subscribers are being treated to this month.First up, there’s PAYDAY 3. This co-op FPS heist game has certainly had its ups and downs, and its inclusion on PS Plus is likely to try and garner some fresh interest. It’s certainly not flawless, but if you can gather a group of friends willing to put one of those hideous masks on, there’s surely some fun to be mined from this one.Alternatively, there’s High on Life, another first-person shooter — albeit an entirely different one. This comes from Squanch Games, the studio behind the hilariously surreal Trover Saves the Universe and Accounting+, and arms you with a series of blabbermouth talking weapons. If you’re into that sort of Rick & Morty-esque madness, there’s plenty of that to enjoy here.Finally we have Pac-Man World Re-Pac, a remake of the PS1 3D platformer. This throwback is a pleasant, if safe, trip down memory lane as you gather dots, chomp on ghosts, and explore cute 3D levels. There are certainly better platformers on PS5, but if you’re in the mood for a nostalgia kick, or just for some chilled out, breezy gaming, we reckon this will see you right.3 more PS5, PS4 titles incomingAll PS5, PS4 games lists for PS Plus Essential, Extra, and PremiumSo, what are your thoughts on this selection?

But I have to say it this time round. It’s really poor offering.Hopefully extra makes up for itIll give Pacman a try with my son. Played payday 2 but it was too cluncky. Might try High on Life. Is it the game with the talking weapons?Make your bets: what dead crappy live service will be on March essentials?This is the first month in a very long time I’ve had no interest in any of the games. If my backlog were not astronomical and filled with so many great games, I would give High on Life a try, but time is limited and there are too many excellent games to play.I try to be positive regarding Sony’s offerings, but this month isn’t great. It just makes me want an online play only tier even more.High on life single handedly saved yall 😂(phew, that was close! ps plus subscribers have it rough!), and i always wanted to play high on life, another M$ banger supposedly@Dalamar concord@nomither6 I would’ve taken Concord over these three. Meme status though it is, it was a better game.For me, this is an awful selection. A 6/10 tier Pac Man game is the highlight.I will download Pac man world re pac .and i will put high on life in my library.word up sonI can’t remember a worse month, honestly.What is wrong with people? Besides Payday this is a great month.I’m all in on pacman. Always happy with a good old 3d platformer.It’s pretty bad this month. But luckily my next 200 hours play time will be on Sniper Elite Resistance which I’ve just started.If one essential game appeals that’s a good month, and I’m interested enough to give High on Life a go.Used to like platformers like Pac-Man, but VR ruined all depthless platformers for me.No interest in Payday.I’ve had High on Life on my wishlist for a while, so pretty happy with that at least.Not really, but I don’t mind. I have ps+ mostly for the older games I added to the collection over the years, plus the odd game from premium.if you like Rick and Morty you should check out high on lifeHonestly all games here I’m at least somewhat interested in, and Pac-Man World is my exact jam so I’m really glad to play that one finally@Ken_Kaniff it’s awfulI wanted to play high of life so I am okay with it. Otherwise it’s trashI was disappointed initially but, upon reflection, I’ve changed my opinion. Since I don’t have any of these games, they’ll be new gaming experiences for me. That’s a definite plus. Dare I say, it’s a PS+? 😋In a couple words, no noNormally I can find one game I want to play. This time not so much. Payday never appealed to me and I really don’t care for Rick and Morty. So Pac-Man? I like it I suppose.@DonkeyFantasy you need to change your av.Fun little selection. I think only Payday 3 I couldn’t care less about.One of the worst months in a while although I will try out High on Life.I wanna play the clown game and be a clowny clooownIt’s pretty bad but I haven’t played high on life so I will grab that oneThis is a fantastic month for me. Games I’m not interested in enough to buy but am still curious to try is exactly what I like from PS+. I’m happy when just one game like that shows up but this month I got two at once! Very keen to give both Pac Man and High on Life a goAs dreadful as the monthly games usually are in recent months, I usually try at least 1, but this is just utter scrap, Insert ” but BrO iTs BeTTer tHaN NoTHiNg” comments”High on Life is a good game for ps plus.I’ll try Pac-Man World Re-Pac too.The big problem is the games that I like in this selection I already own!Played PAC world and own high on life. Both good games but not good month for me cause if that fact but I don’t think its as bad as some are making out. Not in the slightestPayday 3 is a team multiplayer game that requires cooperation between team members to be successful, High on Life is not terrible but you have to put up with endless lame jokes, it not Teen Titans, but Teen Titans GO, Pac Man is a remaster/remake of a ps1/gameboy platformer game. Pac Man World Re-pac might be interesting.
