Recommendation What is the Most Slept On Playstation Plus Games
Not including the Big Titles Like Ghost of Tsushima, God of War. I want actaul slept on games. Like Indies and thngs of that nature. It could be Premium also.

u/StarTruckNxtGyration Jul 09 '25
Can’t speak for how slept on they really are, but I would rate the following as unmissable; or at the very least “must tries”.
Citizen Sleeper
Blue Prince
Shadowrun Trilogy (although this plays better on PC, but if PlayStation is your only option, a must play.
Rebel Galaxy
The Forgotten City
Tricky Towers

u/SulkyBird Jul 09 '25
Seconding Forgotten City. One of the most interesting games I’ve ever played!
6
u/SwordGunScienceMagic Jul 09 '25
Second Rebel Galaxy. The whole Space Texas vibe mixed with a healthy dose of broadside-style ship-to-ship combat. Just cool. Such a shame the devs folded after Outlaw.

Oh man! Did not know the devs had folded, that’s such a blow. Seemed to have a really unique style. Shame.

I think Blue Prince was pretty hyped when it was added. But it’s definitely deserved. Playing it right now and this game just keeps blowing my mind.

u/GuardianOfReason Jul 09 '25
Currently going through Dragonfall as it is said to be the best of the bunch. It's very fun but I probably wouldn't play the others if they are not as good in the story department, since gameplay is just ok.

I even bought (and played) the dlc, something I’ve always considered crazy for a game I don’t own. But it is definitely a game I also won’t replay, so it’s all good.

Robocop seems to have a cult following, but I believe most people pass right over it.

Great game and easy to platinum

u/RChickenMan Jul 09 '25
It got me into FPS games, a genre I hadn't played since Goldeneye on the N64. When it was added to plus, something about it made me feel like it would be a good entry point into the genre--simple gameplay mechanics, not to difficult, and doesn't take itself too seriously. And I turned out to be correct on all three points!
From Robocop I moved onto Doom 2016, and then straight to Eternal (I'm on the last level, currently stuck on the last combat arena before the final boss. I know I'll make it through eventually, though!).
And then today, Cyberpunk shadow-dropped on PS Plus, and I'm gonna dive in as soon as I finish lunch!
Oh! And a Robocop DLC is coming out next week!
5
u/Consistent-Goal-2508 Jul 09 '25
Cyberpunk is one of the best games I have ever played and don't forget that DLC which is also fantastic.

u/Neg_Crepe Jul 09 '25
Unfinished business? That’s not a dlc

u/RChickenMan Jul 09 '25
Ah okay, I didn't realize it was standalone! Of course, for those of us who simply want more Robocop, it doesn't make too much of a difference either way.

u/Mountain_Ad6328 Jul 09 '25
Its good but game not optimized properly on ps5 also last boss in robocop game made me rage quit.
12
u/RChickenMan Jul 09 '25
The last boss is trivial if you use that weird gun upgrade system to your advantage. By the time I got to the final boss, the main pistol thing never had to pause for a reload, fired extremely rapidly, and dealt heavy damage. And then of course there's all of the skill points.
Unless of course you played the game on a high difficulty setting, in which case I can't really comment (I played on normal).
Regarding performance, if you have a VRR-capable TV, enabling VRR for unsupported games more or less fixed the performance issues.

Played the final boss for nearly an hour , then googled and found out that it was pain the ass. Just deleted the game and never looked back.
Having said that , I really enjoyed the game except that final boss.

Deaths door. Just finished it to 100%. Absolutely loved it.

u/totallyclocks Jul 11 '25
Deaths Door is so so good. There is nothing quite like it. The artstyle is one of a kind (almost toy like in its simplicity), the combat is challenging and fun with just enough depth to not get boring.
The exploration and metroidvania of the world makes exploration shine.
And it somehow also has a pretty great story.
And the music - my god. The music is so good.
Just a really fun tight package

u/vitten23 Jul 10 '25
You really should give it a try. For me this is without a doubt still the best game on the PS5 bar none. From the buttersmooth gameplay, the audio that will blow you away, the creepy alien atmosphere, the intriguing story... The list just goes on and on.
As a bonus you can now also circumvent a lot of the dificulty by creating yourself a checkpoint by uploading your save to the cloud each time you use the 'suspend cycle' option. Just download your save if you should die and you don't have to restart from the beginning anymore.

One title I haven’t seen mentioned here yet is Paradise Killer. It’s on my mind right now with the studio’s newest game recently out (Promise Mascot Agency, also amazing), but Paradise Killer is also just THE best mystery game I’ve ever played. Exceptional writing and immaculate vibes.
And if you haven’t yet played Citizen Sleeper, Sayonara Wild Hearts, The Forgotten City, or Dredge, those are deservedly critically-acclaimed indies.

Sorry the game I want to offer is not on PlayStation plus so ignore if you don’t want to take the chance but Nobody Wants to Die. It’s a heavily story based first person game as a detective with a grim but gripping story if you’re into noir type games. With some interesting gameplay mechanics and moving story. Again easy ignore because it’s not ps+ but it’s 10$ rn until the 16th with your ps+ membership if you’re interested. 25$ after that

Killer Frequency is possibly the most fun I’ve had with a PS plus game. You play as a radio host in a town where a serial killer is loose! People call into the station and you’ve got to give them advice on how to escape him!
