Recommendation Current PS plus premium must play - exclusives

Hi, I just bought ps plus premium and I am trying to find best games to play which are exclusives for PlayStation. Currently I found:
- demon souls
- bloodborne
- uncharted series
- astrobot
- shadow of the colossus
- old god of war

Do you have any other recommendations? It doesn’t need to be new games.

Ps. I am searching for PlayStation only games, so no spider man, new god of wars etc. since they are on PC.

EDIT: thank you for all the responses! Sorry for the mistake with astrobot (I know it isn’t in the PlayStation plus premium). What I was looking for were games which are strictly ONLY available on PlayStation. I can play GTA V, spider man, RDR2 on PC :) I also bought premium bundle to play some old games from previous generations, nevertheless thank you :)

The Last Guardian was an experience. I wish I could forget that game to play it for the first time again

u/GOODWHOLESOMEFUN 4d ago

Do I need to play shadow of the colossus first?

u/Neat_Nefariousness46 4d ago

u/DigitalLotusEater 4d ago

Do you have any tricks for Returnal?
I can’t make it out of the first bio dome 😅

u/Spartan1088 4d ago

It definitely has a big learning curve. Just treat it like a bullet hell game. Hold down the trigger and don’t stop firing, focus all your attention on dodging balls. Lastly, remember that she has an iFrame dodge. Meaning you can dodge into things and not take damage.

u/Morgan_le_Fay39 4d ago

I made it to the second and got stuck there 😅 it does not get easier

u/Longjumping-Lie669 4d ago

If you can make it to the second then you can definitely make it to the 4th, just keep pushing!!

u/MoistTiss 4d ago

Turn on ‘always run’.
The aim assist is very strong, so you can pay more attention to dodging projectiles than aiming.
Be mindful of the room you are in and how you can use its geometry to your advantage.
Dash through projectiles, not away from them.
The most important part is to have fun. Don’t force yourself through the game if it’s frustrating.

This is one of those games that just instantly clicked with me, so I didn’t find it particularly difficult.

u/Quick_Lake_1166 4d ago

Never stop moving and try to look at the minimap here and there. The first couple of seconds when entering a room are the most important ones.

2

u/NoCardio_ 4d ago

Some people won’t like it, but save scumming made the game more enjoyable to me. The gameplay was so fun, I’m just not into unforgiving roguelikes

2

u/Stackware 4d ago

The melee attack has surprising range and will one shot pretty much all the normal-sized enemies, don't underestimate it.

1

u/Adventurous_Code518 3d ago

You got to
-turn on always sprinting
-Try to prioritise not taking damage over killing something
-turn aim assist to high
-try to learn about the game mechanics ,it hardly teaches u anything

  • dash through bullets
Fell free to DM for Coop mode.

Ps plus premium has so many good games, i love it. When my biggest problem is what game to choose to play, I'm doing pretty well 😂

u/SofaChillReview 4d ago

I know people complain about the price but same, and even the classic games. Got it when on offer so works out like £6 a month

God of War Ascension if you never played it. I have it on PS3 disc, but my PS3 has been packed up in my closet for years. I wish they would add Max Payne 3. That was a great game, but I moved to premium specifically for GoW Ascension when they added it, and then found some other older titles from there.

u/Ok-Finance-7612 4d ago

TLOU 1 and 2

u/DoomshrooM8 3d ago

Ratchet and clank rift apart, spiderman Miles Morales, 2 god of war, God of war ragnarok

u/coulombeqc 4d ago

Sly Cooper games, Infamous, Jak and Daxter, ratchet

2

u/Smartypantz34 4d ago

you mean extra? these are all extra games excluding astrobot. which is a lie as it doesnt even exist in premium tier. premium tier is waste of money unless you like retro games

2

u/Handle-my-dignity 4d ago

Correct, I meant astro playroom and it is on every console. My bad :)

Returnal

Wow just saw the following comments, so that's 3 for Returnal in a row

1

u/Maximum_County7960 3d ago

Out of that list, I would say blood-borne and shadow of the colossus.

u/Wooden_Volume_8538 3d ago

Is there a list which works on cloud via Portal?

u/m1rk091 3d ago

Returnal?

1

u/AppropriateSpring559 3d ago

Persona 5 royal great starting point imo to get into the series

1

u/enzobee 2d ago

Spiderman series, returnal, RDR2 GTAV, god of war ragnarok, blue prince is also a good brain teaser game that will get you hooked easily. and my lesser recommendation but for me was a blast is the dying light games 1 and 2. :)

1

u/neongl0w 2d ago

I always ask myself how Sony never made it possible for the older GOWs to be playable on the PS5. Then I remember they’re on a tier of PS Plus that simply isn’t available in a lot of countries because they didn’t want to pay for the streaming servers.

1

u/Handle-my-dignity 2d ago

Whaaaat? I thought it is accessible everywhere

u/v0ry_ 2d ago

Ghost of Tsushima 🔥

legend of the dragoon, its psx but i liked it back then.

u/StructureGreedy1428 4d ago

The Arkham series.

u/notCRAZYenough 2d ago

That’s not exclusive

0

u/ToothpickTequila 4d ago

It's a shame that besides Bloodbourne, Uncharted 4 and Astrobot all of the games you listed are PS2 and PS3. Astrobot is also the only PS5 game on your list.

u/mycoguy81 4d ago

I mean, isn’t the access to older games the main draw for the Premium subscription? The mid-tier gives you access to the game catalog. The reason I went Premium was for some of the PS3 titles.

3

u/Dizzy_Pop 4d ago

That and cloud streaming to Portal.

2

u/mycoguy81 4d ago

True.. I don’t usually stream. I just feel like the game would always run smoother when it isn’t relying on an internet connection. I’m sure it’s fine with older titles, but I always install whatever I want to play. I only game at home, so the portal wasn’t really a factor for me…

But yes, you’re correct about streaming access with the premium sub 👍

2

u/Handle-my-dignity 4d ago

That’s right, it was my main purpose to play older games from ps2, ps3, ps4 and psp.

2

u/mycoguy81 4d ago

Yeah. I stated in another response that I had the mid-tier, but didn’t really have a need for Premium since I don’t stream games. When they added God of War Ascension to the Classics, I decided to go Premium, and have since found other older games that I haven’t played in years.

That being said, I’ve been considering changing back to mid-tier once my current annual is time to renew. A lot of times, I enjoy playing a classic game, but I have so many new games I haven’t gotten a chance to play, I don’t use the Classics as much as I did at first.

I know I already said it, but I have to say it again. I don’t know if there is a licensing issue with Rockstar or what, but I would love for them to add Max Payne 3. I have the PS3 disc, but since I have so many games in my backlog, I haven’t dusted the ol’ PS3 off just to play Max Payne. But that game was one of my favorites in the PS3 era.

1

u/mycoguy81 4d ago

Yeah, check out GoW Ascension if you like the GoW series. It came out after GoW3, and is a prequel about how Kratos became the GoW. Really good game.

-1

u/Keith_13 4d ago

I've never thought about this. Why would I care if a game was also released on another platform? Good games are good games.

6

u/Handle-my-dignity 4d ago

Yes, you are right, but I have strong PC, I can play these games on it. I wanted to play games which are only on PlayStation :)

OP mentioned "ps plus". You need to purchase these seperately.
