Another month, another set of PS Plus Essential games for subscribers to (hopefully) enjoy. September's offering is made up of three PS5 and PS4 titles, one of which is a brand new release in the form of Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions.
It's always nice to see a fresh title get dropped straight onto the service, but it goes without saying that Harry Potter isn't to everyone's taste. So how about the other two games that are up for grabs? We've got big budget baseball sim MLB The Show 24 and creepy horror sequel Little Nightmares 2.
MLB arguably has the same problem as Quidditch in that it won't have universal appeal (as is always the case when a sports title ends up on PS Plus). Meanwhile, Little Nightmares 2 is largely considered to be a solid follow-up to the first game — although some will tell you that it struggles to measure up to its predecessor's overall design.

But we don't want to colour anyone's opinion! As always, rate the games for yourself in our polls, and then give us your reasoning in the comments section below.
Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.
Well I'll play quiddich, liked the old ea one on ps2.
Little Nightmares II works for me.
I haven't been into HP for many years so I'm not interested in the Quidditch game, but it is a pretty big get for current fans nonetheless.
As for the sports game… Frankly, I just keep wondering when they'll run out of these to give away.
Great month in my opinion. I'm interested in both The Show and especially Quiddich so I'm happy.
