3 Days of Play PS Plus games to try this weekend (June 7-9)

digitaltrends.com:

June 2024 is shaping up to be a pretty great month for PlayStation players. Not only are we coming off an entertaining State of Play showcase, but a new Days of Play initiative surrounding all the video game showcases this month is bringing a lot of new PS Plus additions with it. Many of those games hit PS Plus this week, and three in particular stand out to us.

For owners of Sony’s oft-neglected PlayStation VR2, the first game is one of its rare exclusives that take full advantage of the headset’s eye-tracking by seeing how often players blink. The next is a new PS Plus Essential game that’s a revival of Sega’s classic beat-’em-up series for the modern gaming era. Finally, the last title is an atmospheric and eerie fishing game that should entice fans of Lovecraftian horror.

Before Your Eyes

Before Your Eyes is a game where players relive the story of their life by jumping from memory to memory every time they blink. It’s a tear-jerking emotional adventure, and one of the most innovative indie games of the past decade. Typically, this game is played on PC with a webcam, but in 2023, Before Your Eyes made the leap to VR exclusively on the PlayStation VR2.

• PlayStation State of Play returns this week, will feature 14 PS5 games
• Grand Theft Auto 5 and 11 more games are leaving PS Plus in June
• 3 PS Plus free demos you should try this weekend (May 17-19)

The core adventure is the same narratively in VR, but it feels even more immersive as your blinks are documented by the headset’s eye tracking, and you feel fully entrenched in these memories rather than watching them play out on your monitor underneath a webcam. If you enjoy VR experiences that aren’t just your typical first-person shooter, then you need to check Before Your Eyes out.

Before Your Eyes is available in VR on PlayStation VR2, and PS Plus Premium subscribers can now pick up the game for free. The non-VR version of this game is available on PC as well as iOS and Android via Netflix.
