# The Ultimate Guide to Playstation Plus Games (With a Sarcastic Twist!)
So, you’ve finally decided to join the Playstation Plus bandwagon? Congratulations! You now have access to what Sony calls their “best games” from each subscription tier.

But hey, who doesn’t like paying for a subscription to relive the glory days of games that were cutting-edge back when flip phones were cool?
Let’s dive into the tiers, dissect the offerings, and figure out if this is truly the gaming Mecca Sony claims it to be—or just another clever way to make you pay for nostalgia.

## What’s in the Playstation Plus Buffet?
Playstation Plus now comes in three glorious tiers: **Essential**, **Extra**, and **Premium**. Fancy names, right? Here’s what each promises:
### Essential Tier: “The Bare Minimum”
This is for those who just want to dip their toes into the Playstation Plus universe. You get a few free games every month, online multiplayer access, and the ability to cry over how much better your opponents are in Rocket League or Call of Duty.
#### What Games Can You Expect?
Sony tosses in a few free games monthly, like throwing breadcrumbs to pigeons. Recent selections include titles like *Saints Row*, which is great if you want a bargain-bin version of GTA, and *Fall Guys*, a game that’s fun until you realize you’ll never win.
### Extra Tier: “More Stuff, But Is It Better?”
This tier ups the ante with hundreds of downloadable PS4 and PS5 games. Think of it as Sony’s version of a Netflix binge but with a lot more button-mashing.
#### Highlights:
– *Spider-Man: Miles Morales* – Finally, a game worth playing! Swing through New York City and forget for a moment that you’re paying monthly for this.
– *Returnal* – A roguelike shooter that’s as fun as it is maddeningly difficult.
But don’t get too excited. For every *Demon’s Souls*, there’s a *Balan Wonderworld* lurking in the shadows. It’s a mixed bag, folks.
### Premium Tier: “Because Why Not Charge More?”
Ah, the crème de la crème of Playstation Plus. Here, you get everything in the first two tiers plus access to classic games and game trials.
#### Classic Games:
If you’re yearning to relive the glory days of gaming, the Premium tier lets you play PS1, PS2, and PSP classics. Titles like *Tekken 2* and *Ape Escape* are great, but let’s be real—most of these games haven’t aged well.
Game trials are another “perk.” Because who doesn’t love paying extra to try a game for a couple of hours before realizing it’s not worth buying?

## Should You Subscribe?
If you’re a hardcore gamer who loves variety, Playstation Plus might be worth it. But if you’re like most people, you’ll play the same three games repeatedly and forget you’re even subscribed.
For those on the fence, why not try the Essential tier first? You can always upgrade later if you feel the need to dive into the Premium abyss. Or better yet, save your money and wait for Steam Deck to drop another update.
