Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for February 2025? | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

After what has felt like the longest January of all time, February has finally arrived, and it brings with it a new selection of PS Plus Essential monthly games.

The question is, how are you feeling about this new trio of titles? Let's go over what subscribers are being treated to this month.

First up, there's PAYDAY 3. This co-op FPS heist game has certainly had its ups and downs, and its inclusion on PS Plus is likely to try and garner some fresh interest. It's certainly not flawless, but if you can gather a group of friends willing to put one of those hideous masks on, there's surely some fun to be mined from this one.

Alternatively, there's High on Life, another first-person shooter — albeit an entirely different one. This comes from Squanch Games, the studio behind the hilariously surreal Trover Saves the Universe and Accounting+, and arms you with a series of blabbermouth talking weapons. If you're into that sort of Rick & Morty-esque madness, there's plenty of that to enjoy here.

Finally we have Pac-Man World Re-Pac, a remake of the PS1 3D platformer. This throwback is a pleasant, if safe, trip down memory lane as you gather dots, chomp on ghosts, and explore cute 3D levels. There are certainly better platformers on PS5, but if you're in the mood for a nostalgia kick, or just for some chilled out, breezy gaming, we reckon this will see you right.
