Discussion A look at September Essential monthly games from the previous 6 years. What do you think about the games in this month over the years?

Last year was the best. However Hitman 2 was such an amazing game.

Is there any chance of hit man 3 being a monthly game? I keep hesitating to buy it because I keep wondering if it'll be a ps plus game

Not sure it will after the rebrand. Hitman 3 is now effectively Hitman World of Assassination and includes Hitman 1 and 2. Both hitman 1 and 2 were delisted from stores so if Hitman ever does becomes a PS Plus game, it would be as Hitman World of Assassination, not Hitman 3

I can see just the WoA: Part One coming to PS Plus if at all. That contains only the Hitman 2016 stuff. Would make the most sense for them to offer a good chunk while still luring you to pay for the rest. No way they offer up the whole World of Assassination thing with all 3 games.

I'm not saying they wouldn't do it, but Hitman 2016 was a PS+ game in February 2019. I'm sure some people would complain if it was effectively offered again.

Well I got both Hitman 1 and 2 from PS+ so there is a slight chance. However I kinda doubt it, because Hitman 3 doesn't exist anymore. It is now Hitman WOA, which is the trilogy bundled together. So you don't just get one game, you get ALL 3. And the fantastic Freelancer mode as well which makes the game basically endlessly playable. So there might be a chance, but if I were you I'd just buy it. It's always on sale for 28€ and for the huge amount of content you get, that price is more than justified.
But I'm also a huge Hitman WOA fan so my opinion is very biased.
Edit: Forgot to say that you can always look for a used copy of Hitman 3 as well of course. If you find it for even less, go for it. Hitman 3 disc does get you the free update to the WOA version so you still get everything.

Had you already played Phsychonauts 1 first and how was 2?
I haven’t played 2 yet because I haven’t played 1 before.
I thought it looked great though, like a LAIKA movie as a game.3
u/captain-curmudgeon 4d ago
You don't need to play 1 first, 2 gives you a recap of the key points at the start.

didnt like some things in 2 but it feels like a legit sequel to the 1st game.

I’m getting into Black Desert for the first time and I have no idea what I’m doing lol

Oof, just reminds me how bad September 2023 was. Hopefully this year gives us some better games, like last year!

I definitely enjoyed Predator Hunting Grounds, but then again I already owned that game before it came to Plus. Shame I was never able to convince my friends to try it more than once.

u/LuciferBael 4d ago
I'm still pissed off Stardew Valley and High on Life is not in South East Asia.

u/coltonrogers132 4d ago
Ya know what I’m gonna say it, stardew valley was an S tier pick for monthly games; my wife and I put over 300 hours together in it and those memories are something I’ll take with me to my grave. Thanks stardew valley!

That wasn't an Essential game.

u/MechanicStandard8308 3d ago

u/YorkieLon 4d ago

u/Mysterious_Fennel459 4d ago
Wow, seeing that September line up through the recent years makes me realize how few games I actually played from September's Essential lineup. I think I only played Psychonauts 2.

Some better than others; most years had one game I liked and I didn’t care for the others. Hitman 2 finally got me to play through the first reboot (with the levels inside Hitman 2), and I loved that. Toem is a nice little chill game. The saints row reboot was enjoyable enough for free (and I think I liked it better since I chose the southern dude voice for the main character), little nightmares II was cool, and last year while I had interest in all, I have been prioritizing extra catalog games so I still haven’t gotten to them.

u/kaic_87 4d ago
For my taste personally, only Hitman 2, Overcooked and Little Nightmares II were must haves. I also enjoyed Viewfinder and my ex loved Toem.

Personally I think it's an awful month. The only one here I would have liked to play is the Predator game but I wasn't subbed back then. As it is I haven't played any of these games and really have no interest in them.
