ThePlayStation PlusGame Catalog for February is looking fantastic, with some big names and standout games.
Players will be able to enjoy exciting sci-fi locations, thrilling races, and expansive worlds with the new additions ofThe Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice EditionandNeed for Speed Unboundfor thePlayStation 5, as well asAssassin’s Creed: ValhallaandTales of Arisefor the PS5 and thePS4. As explained by an official PlayStationblog postby the director of content acquisitions and operations atSonyInteractive, Adam Michel.
The Outer Worldsis a single-player sci-fi role-playing game (RPG) developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the masterminds behindFallout: New Vegas. In this first-person adventure game, players will find themselves lost in transit on a colonist ship headed for the most desolate corners of the galaxy. After finally waking up from your decades-long sleep, you’ll discover a conspiracy to destroy your new home, the Halcyon colony.
Who you side with and what kind of character you’ll become is entirely up to you and your choices will determine how the story unfolds. If you’ve beensomewhat disappointed by a sci-fi RPG as of late, thenThe Outer Worldsis a great solution to bring back that spark.
While this sci-fi game isn’t the most groundbreaking thing ever to have been made, it’s still a great sci-fi RPG full of interesting characters, politics, and choices to make. It also takes roughly 15-20 hours to complete, so it doesn’t require an endless amount of free time.
However, if sci-fi isn’t your scene, then racing gameNeed for Speed Unboundand the Japanese role-playing game from Bandai Namco,Tales of Arise, are fantastic ways to pass the time and possibly explore new genres. Overall, this month’s additions to the PlayStation Plus Catalog are looking pretty exciting.
