PlayStation Plus has seriously got it all. Each month, Sony never fails to add at least a few brilliant gems to its ever-growing lineup of free games, especially in the Extra and Premium tiers.
At the time of writing, there’s over 460 games available to play via the Extra and PremiumPS Plusgame catalogues, which is ludicrous. Honestly, it’s pretty overwhelming to sit down and look at the entire list (although if you wish to do so, you canright here). Today though, I’m here to talk about one game and one game only, which is currently available to Extra and Premium-tier subscribers -Moonlighter.
Take a look at the trailer forMoonlighterright here.

Each of the dungeons are procedurally generated, but they follow a certain formula. All of them are home to a powerful boss which you’ll need to defeat in order to unlock the next dungeon - each is even more dangerous than the last, but as you’d expect, as the danger increases, so do Will’s profits.
11 bit studios.
There’s plenty of challenge involved in overcoming the dungeons’ many hurdles - you can expect to see poor Will swatted to the ground numerous times as you find your feet as an adventurer. However, beyond simply improving at the game, and becoming more adept at slashing and stabbing all the foes that cross your path, you’re also able to use your profits to buy better armour and weapons. Intrue roguelitefashion, these serve as permanent upgrades, so you don’t need to worry about being thrown right back to square one each time you get knocked out in a dungeon.

Moonlighteris an absolute feast for the eyes, too - the vibrant pixel art world is genuinely stunning, and the fluid animations (from the gentle sway of the trees in Rynoka, to Will’s backpack bouncing around as he runs and his hair subtly swaying as he attacks) are mesmerising. All of this is topped off with an entrancing soundtrack, which pumps out chill and mysterious vibes as you wander through the depths of the dungeons and idle around the village, but also knows exactly when to amp it up a notch and ensure that you’re fully aware that a boss means business.
Amongst all the big AAA titles in PS Plus Extra’s game catalogue, includingHorizon Forbidden West, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles MoralesandFinal Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, it’d be understandable if you’d overlookedMoonlighter, but I implore you to give it a try. Once it’s got its teeth in you, it’s impossible to put down, and you can’t ask for much more from a game that’s totally free if you already have an active subscription.
