Here’s what’s coming to PlayStation Plus Essential in August 2024…

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

By this point, you’re likely accustomed to the LEGO game format, but The Skywalker Saga offers something unique – it remakes all nine main Star Wars movies in its signature comedic style and boasts over 300 playable characters, ranging from a plethora of heroes and villains.

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t wait to dive deep into this game! What makes it even more exciting is the option to play it with a loved one or a buddy right here at home, thanks to the local co-op feature. Unfortunately, there’s no online co-op experience available.

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach

Introduced in 2021, this installation of the well-known “Five Nights at Freddy’s” franchise features a young character named Gregory as he navigates a mall and stays alive until dawn.

As someone who has spent countless hours immersed in various video games throughout my life, I can confidently say that this new installment stands out due to its emphasis on exploration and open-ended gameplay. Compared to other titles in the series, it offers a more freewheeling style that allows me to roam at will, unencumbered by strict linear paths or rigid objectives. This level of freedom has greatly enriched my gaming experience, making each playthrough feel unique and engaging.

Critics were a bit cold on Security Breach at the time, but fans were more positive on the game.

Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights

The lesser-known game, “Ender Lilies,” unfolds within the realm of Land’s End, focusing on a protagonist known as Lily, who is also a priestess.

At Land’s End, there’s an unceasing downpour that seems to turn the inhabitants into something otherworldly, prompting Lily, a soul-cleansing specialist, to embark on a quest to unravel the secret behind this peculiar weather phenomenon.

Beyond its visually unique zones and tough enemy bosses, the game shines by creating a powerful ambiance with its artistic design and music.

2021 saw the game receive impressive reviews on Metacritic, and as we speak, its follow-up titled “Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist” is available on Steam Early Access. The complete edition is slated for release not just on PC but also on gaming consoles.
