Check out these 3 new PS Plus games this weekend (July 19-21)

A new batch of PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium games dropped this week. Like Xbox Game Pass, this will probably go down as one of the best weeks for the video game subscription service this year. Its lineup offers a solid mix of modern games, retro classics, and more experimental titles. For this week’s PlayStation Plus recommendations, I’ve hand-picked the three games new to the service that I think are worth your time.

Next up is a PSP strategy game from Level-5 that just got new life with a PS4 and PS5 remaster. Finally, those deeply ingrained in the video game industry will enjoy a No More Heroes spinoff that just came to Sony’s subscription service.

Even narrative moments and the bosses players encounter are generated in an order unique to each campaign, giving this looter shooter immense replay value.

Remnant 2 features some of the best boss battles I’ve ever seen in a multiplayer game. It can be tough for games like this to avoid repetition, butRemnant 2 circumvents that issue by paying attention to the little things in its environment, narrative, and encounter design, and then doling it out to players in a way that feels personal. It’s a must-play if you enjoy co-op shooters but haven’t played it yet.

Remnant 2 is available on PS5 through PS Plus Extra. It’s also part of the Xbox Game Pass catalog on Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Jeanne d’Arc

Originally available only on PSP, the cult classic strategy game Jeanne d’Arc finally came to modern PlayStation consoles as part of this latest batch of
