2024 is drawing to a sudden close, and Sony's revealed the games that are coming to PS Plus Essential in December. As per usual, we want to know your thoughts on the latest lineup.
To kick things off, we've got Hazelight smash hit It Takes Two, which, following its original PS4 launch in 2021, has really solidified a reputation as one of the best co-op titles on the market. On paper, it's a clear win for PS Plus subscribers — but we do find ourselves wondering who hasn't tried It Takes Two at this point.
Aliens: Dark Descent offers something completely different — an intense strategy title starring desperate marines and iconic xenomorphs. It's not for everyone, but strong reviews from both critics and fans of the franchise make it worth checking out.
And finally, there's Temtem (talk about variety!). This Pokémon-inspired, monster-battling RPG is an addictive adventure, decked out with both a single-player (or co-op) campaign and multiplayer battles. Could warrant a look if you're in the mood for levelling up a team of cute creatures.
Co-op! Aliens! Pokémon?

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.
