Key art for Return to Monkey Island.
While we await November’s PlayStation Plus Essential titles, October’s PS Plus Extra catalog additions offer a wealth of gaming experiences for subscribers. If you’re looking for quality gameplay without the expense of new releases like Life is Strange: Double Exposure or Dragon Age: The Veilguard, consider these three excellent titles available right now.
Rediscover Adventure with Return to Monkey Island
The Monkey Island series, a cornerstone of LucasArts’ legacy, continues to be celebrated as a pinnacle of adventure gaming. Return to Monkey Island, released in 2022 by series creator Ron Gilbert and designer Dave Grossman, revives the classic charm. Once again, players join the swashbuckling Guybrush Threepwood in his ongoing rivalry with the nefarious LeChuck, on a quest to uncover the legendary secret of Monkey Island. Optimized for controller play, Return to Monkey Island retains the witty writing and clever puzzle design that defined the originals, making it a perfect pick-up-and-play experience.
Return to Monkey Island is available on PS5 via the PS Plus Extra Game Catalog. It’s also available on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, iOS, and Android.
Build Your Dream Campus in Two Point Campus
For fans of management simulations, Two Point Campus offers a delightful and engaging experience. Players design, build, and manage a variety of unique college campuses within the quirky Two Point universe. While the game offers a deep and rewarding system for dedicated players, its charming visuals and lighthearted humor, featuring whimsical courses like “Knight School,” make it accessible to all skill levels. Mastering Two Point Campus provides an excellent introduction to the management sim genre, preparing you for the upcoming Two Point Museum launching next March.
Two Point Campus is available on PS4 and PS5 through the PS Plus Extra catalog. It can also be found on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
Bust Some Ghosts in Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed
Beyond the Halloween season, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed provides thrilling asymmetrical multiplayer action. Four players team up as Ghostbusters to hunt and capture a ghost controlled by a fifth player. While Dead by Daylight remains the undisputed king of the genre, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed offers a polished and engaging experience, successfully adapting a beloved franchise to the asymmetrical formula. If you and four friends have PS Plus, this is a perfect game for some cooperative spectral shenanigans.
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is available for PS4 and PS5 players through the PS Plus Extra game catalog. You can also find it on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
