Teardown, Dragon’s Dogma coming to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium
polygon.comAfter a particularly strong October, it will be slightly less exciting November for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers in terms of additions to the service’s Game Catalog — although it’s definitely not without highlights. There’s a rare day one drop, a big RPG arriving at just the right moment, and a better-than-usual selection of retro games arriving in the Classics library for Premium members.
The headline is Tuxedo Labs’ sandbox puzzle game Teardown, which joined the Game Catalog on Wednesday, the day of its console debut. Teardown made quite a splash when it first surfaced on PC in 2020, thanks to the dazzling destructible physics of its voxel-based game engine. The game’s all about using vehicles and explosives to smash your way through each level and complete a heist, and it’s very fun.
Much less fresh, but still making a timely appearance on the PlayStation Plus books on Nov. 21 (along with all the following games), is Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. This is the 2017 PlayStation 4 version of the cult 2012 fantasy role-playing game from Capcom, which comes to the Game Catalog ahead of an expected 2024 release for the long in development (and very promising-looking) Dragon’s Dogma 2. Dragon’s Dogma is a slightly rough but fascinating open-world RPG with survival and emergent storytelling aspects that were ahead of their time in 2012, but feel right on the money now. The sequel could be big, so this is a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor.
Another notable addition is Superliminal, a post-Portal first-person puzzle game from 2019 that’s all about playing around with perspective, not unlike the recent Viewfinder.
Elsewhere, Plus and Premium subscribers get the definitive edition of Dead Island:
