PS Plus May Drop: Sony's Latest Spell Reveals Some Familiar Faces and a Few Fresh Glyphs!
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Sony has unveiled May's PS Plus Premium and Extra game lineup, bringing a mix of anticipated titles like Star Wars Outlaws, unique RPG The Thaumaturge, and classic revivals like Time Crisis with new gyro aiming, alongside a Red Dead Redemption 2 re-release. It's a varied haul, leaving us curious if it’s a magical feast or just a decent potion for gamers.
Alright, fellow digital explorers, Jeff here, peering into the swirling runes of the gaming cosmos, and wouldn't you know it? Sony's gone and uncorked the latest potion from the PS Plus alchemist's lab, revealing May's haul for Premium and Extra members! Big thanks to Victoria Phillips Kennedy over at Eurogamer for giving us the initial scrying report, as these titles will be materialising in your game libraries from the 19th of May.
So, what's been conjured up this time? For both **Premium and Extra** folk, prepare your hard drives for:
* **Star Wars Outlaws | PS5**: Now, this one's intriguing, innit? More on that in a sec. * **Red Dead Redemption 2 | PS4**: Ah, RDR2. Did someone accidentally leave a time-loop spell running, or is this just good old RDR2 making a grand re-entrance? Can't say I'm mad, mind you, always a treat. * **Bramble: The Mountain King | PS5, PS4**: Creepy Nordic folklore? Sign me up for a bit of digital dark magic! * **The Thaumaturge | PS5**: A 'limited but sophisticated RPG,' say our Eurogamer mates. Sounds like it might have some unique flavour. * **Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn | PS5**: Post-apocalyptic fantasy with guns and magic? My kind of chaotic brew. * **Broken Sword – Shadows of the Templar: Reforged | PS5, PS4**: A classic getting a facelift! Always good to see old spells renewed. * **Enotria: The Last Song Standard Edition | PS5**: Another soulslike, this one inspired by Italian folklore. Can it stand out in the crowded abyss of tough-as-nails games?
And for the true **PlayStation Plus Premium** wizards amongst us, there's an extra treat:
* **Time Crisis | PS5, PS4**: Complete with all-new gyro aiming! Fair dinkum, are we finally getting proper arcade action in our living rooms without needing a portal gun for light guns? This could be a riot!
Now, let's talk about a couple of the more interesting scrolls in this collection. **Star Wars Outlaws**, for example. On its initial release, Eurogamer, through Victoria's review, wasn't entirely convinced, handing it two out of five stars and noting its shortcomings compared to similar open-world stealth-action titles. *However*, Victoria herself adds a cheeky note that updates since then *have* improved the gameplay, especially the stealth sections. It's almost like games are living, evolving entities, eh? A bit like a spell that needed a few patches to truly shine.
Then there's **The Thaumaturge**. Our mates at Eurogamer called it 'a persuasive little package' and something 'not quite like anything else I've played,' which, honestly, is music to a digital wizard's ears. In a world full of sequels and familiar mechanics, a truly unique RPG is like finding a rare magical artefact.
And **Enotria: The Last Song**? A soulslike drenched in Italian folklore and Mediterranean sunlight, with promises of lurking darkness. The soulslike genre is packed tighter than a wizard's spellbook right now, so it'll be fascinating to see if Enotria can cast a truly memorable spell.
So, what's caught your eye, fellow digital adventurers? Reckon this month's selection is a good scroll to add to the library, or are you waiting for Sony to pull a truly legendary artifact from the digital ether? Either way, it's a mixed bag of magic, from familiar faces to potential new obsessions. For all the nitty-gritty details, you can always poke around the PlayStation Blog. Until next time, keep those controllers charged and your curiosity piqued!
