Sony has revealed the latest titles coming to PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers from August 5th. NEOWIZ’s Lies of P is the heaviest hitter, followed by DayZ and My Hero One’s Justice 2.
The Souls-like action RPG is playable for PS4 and PS5 subscribers. Based on the tale of Pinocchio, players control P, who must explore the city of Krat after all its puppets suddenly go on a killing spree. He must find Geppetto, his creator, and ultimately seek an answer for what’s going on.
Combat is a mix of Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, with some gorgeous environments and challenging boss fights. It recently received a paid story DLC, Overture, which you can learn more about in our review.
DayZ and My Hero One’s Justice 2 are both playable on PS4 (and PS5 via backwards compatibility). The former is a long-running survival game set on a large map with roaming zombies. Your goal is to scrounge for materials and survive, especially since dying will leave you with nothing, and either cooperate or deal with other survivors.
The latter is Bandai Namco’s 2020 fighter based on the My Hero Academia manga/anime. While it received praise for its visuals, the combat, camera, and story mode were criticized.
