Get Ready for Some Intense Alien Blasting in Aliens: Fireteam Elite
Hey there, fellow gamers! I’ve got some exciting news for you. Sony has just announced the free monthly games for PlayStation Plus Essentials November 2023, and one of them is Aliens: Fireteam Elite. Brace yourself for an epic co-op alien shooting experience!
What’s in Store for November 2023?
As always, Sony is bringing us three awesome games this month, starting from the first Tuesday, November 7th. Here’s what’s on the menu:
- Aliens: Fireteam Elite (PS5 | PS4)
- Mafia II: Definitive Edition (PS4)
- Dragon Ball: The Breakers (PS4)
Psst! Don’t worry if you have a PS5 because the PS4 games are playable on it through backward compatibility.
Now, let’s dive into the details of these games and see what they have to offer.
Aliens: Fireteam Elite – Blast Those Xenomorphs!
Imagine taking James Cameron’s action-packed sci-fi sequel, Aliens, and turning it into a co-op shooter similar to Left 4 Dead. That’s exactly what Aliens: Fireteam Elite does. Sure, it had a few hiccups at launch, like a lack of mission variety, technical issues, and wonky matchmaking. But hey, despite all that, it’s still a blast to play! As our reviewer, Nic, said, “Aliens: Fireteam Elite may have its flaws, but it’s still a fun time.” So, grab your friends, gear up, and get ready to face off against those terrifying xenomorphs!
Mafia II: Definitive Edition – A Cult Classic Revisited
Mafia II: Definitive Edition may not be as thrilling as Aliens: Fireteam Elite, but it’s still worth checking out. This game is part of the Mafia trilogy, and while the other two games received full remakes, Mafia II got a remaster instead. It’s an open-world action game set in a captivating, crime-ridden city. Sure, it might not be the most groundbreaking release, but it’s still a cult classic that deserves a spot in your gaming library.
Dragon Ball: The Breakers – A Disappointing Attempt
If you’re a fan of the Dragon Ball franchise, you might be excited about Dragon Ball: The Breakers. However, be prepared for some disappointment. This asymmetrical multiplayer game draws inspiration from the beloved anime and manga series but fails to deliver on its potential. Our reviewer, Miguel, summed it up perfectly, saying, “Dragon Ball: The Breakers is broken.” With matchmaking issues, frustrating gameplay mechanics, and questionable monetization tactics, it’s a missed opportunity to capture the magic of the source material.
So, what’s your take on this month’s game lineup? Are you ready to dive into some alien-blasting action or explore the gritty world of the mafia? Let me know in the comments!
Don’t Miss Out on October’s PlayStation Plus Games!
If you haven’t grabbed the free games from October 2023 yet, don’t worry! You still have time. The October lineup will be available until November 7th, when the new games take their place. Here’s a quick reminder of what you can still get:
- The Callisto Protocol (PS5 | PS4)
- Farming Simulator 22 (PS5 | PS4)
- Weird West (PS5 | PS4)
Hurry up and snag these titles before they’re gone!
Exploring the World of PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium
Now, let’s talk about something interesting. You might have heard about PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium, but what exactly are they?
In mid-2022, Sony relaunched PlayStation Plus, transforming it into a three-tiered subscription service. The classic PS Plus is now called PS Plus Essential, offering online multiplayer, cloud save backups, exclusive offers, and at least two free monthly games. But that’s not all!
PS Plus Extra takes things up a notch by adding a catalog of PS4 and PS5 games to the mix. So, if you’re hungry for more gaming options, this is the tier for you.
For those craving even more nostalgia and variety, there’s PS Plus Deluxe and Premium (depending on your region). These tiers offer emulation of older games from the PS2, PS1, and PSP eras, as well as game streaming for PS3 and other titles. It’s like having a time machine to explore the rich history of PlayStation gaming.
So, whether you stick with the Essential tier or venture into the Extra and Premium offerings, PlayStation Plus has something for everyone.
That’s it for this month’s PlayStation Plus news, gamers! Get ready to face off against aliens, dive into the criminal underworld, or unleash your inner anime fan. Remember, gaming is all about the adventures we embark on and the stories we create together. Stay tuned for more epic gaming updates, and until next time, keep gaming and keep conquering!
