6 must-have games on PlayStation Plus Collection

by Robin Bea

With the launch of the PlayStation 5, Sony also introduced the PS Plus Collection — a trove of free PS4 games for PS5 owners.

The collection is filled with classics from the last console generation.

Here are our picks for the PlayStation Plus Collection games you can’t miss.

6. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

The Resident Evil series has had plenty of highs and lows, and the latest installment is undoubtedly one of its peaks.

Resident Evil 7 amps up the horror with a new first-person perspective and some truly terrifying setpieces.

5. God of War

This PS4 hit reimagines one of PlayStation’s longest-running action franchises.

God of War brought more deliberate combat and storytelling to the series, and a sequel is in the works now.

4. Persona 5

Part turn-based RPG, part visual novel, Persona 5 requires a big investment of time and attention to fully enjoy.

Those who stick with it will find satisfying battles, a deeply engaging story, and a killer soundtrack.

3. The Last Guardian

From the developer of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian flew much more under the radar when it launched in 2016.

It’s a fun adventure/puzzle game, but it’s most notable for the technical marvel that is your character’s faithful animal companion.

2. Monster Hunter: World

The Monster Hunter series has been around for a long time, but this is far and away the most popular installment yet.

You'll hunt giant monsters with friends and turn them into cool armor (the monsters, not your friends).

1. Bloodborne

Turning away from the dark fantasy of From Software’s Dark Souls series, Bloodborne throws players into a gothic horror setting with a shocking twist.

It also saw From Software experiment with a more aggressive combat style that would later evolve into Sekiro’s fast-paced parrying.
