As usual, we conducted a Push Square Poll over the weekend to gather your thought on the PS Plus Essential lineup for January 2025. Of just over 6,000 votes, 43 per cent of readers responded it's «a crap selection». Just 16 per cent of the voters registered any sort of satisfaction with the selection. Of the few excited about the games, The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is what they're looking forward to playing most.

How are you feeling about the PS Plus Essential games for the month? Get downloading them in the comments below.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

It’s one of those months when I wonder if adding the games to my list is worth it.

Does it just add stress subconsciously because even though I think I will never play them, they are there to potentially be played, thus increasing my backlog of games.

If I don’t download them, will I regret not adding these to my collection, thus making me more stressed than if I just downloaded them?

Is this monthly dilemma slowly driving me insane?

@Kienda If such issues can make you go insane then you have some more serious problems.

@N0CYmr0k of that there is no doubt.

Might play them for playstation points
