If you keeping their subscription or thinking about joining, we present our latest recommendations.

Our selected games include a beloved Japanese role-playing game, a delightful independent journey, and a brilliant puzzle game set to leave the platform shortly.

Persona 4 Golden

Among the top methods to maximize value from your subscription is by immersing yourself in a extensive, engaging role-playing game — and Persona 4 Golden matches that bill perfectly. You step into the role of a teenager who has just moved to the quiet countryside of Inaba. During the day, your objectives involve making friendships, taking on employment, and managing schoolwork. By night, you investigate a chilling serial murder case by venturing into strange locations based on your friends' inner fears.

With a unforgettable cast of characters, strategic battle system, impeccable visuals, and a storyline packed with twists, Persona 4: The Golden Edition is considered a masterpiece for good reason. It also features a highly addictive gameplay loop that will have you playing late into the night, night after night.

Sopa - Tale of the Stolen Potato

Although major releases like Ninja Gaiden 4 are a key selling point for the service, the platform also showcases smaller indie gems. A great instance of this is Sopa - Tale of the Stolen Potato. Inspired by Spirited Away, this charming independent game is a magical realist tale steeped in South American culture. You follow Miho, who, after assisting his grandma make soup, is pulled into a colorful world filled with potato-nabbing frogs and various eccentric animals.

Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato unfolds similar to an educational computer title from the 90s, as Miho tackles challenges and helps the realm's residents by collecting an inventory of items. Though it's a little unpolished, Sopa is a sweet little experience that proudly celebrates its appreciation for South America.

Cocoon

Cocoon: A Puzzle Adventure is scheduled to leave the service on October 15, leaving only a short time to experience it via your membership — and you definitely should. Developer the creators crafted one of the finest puzzle games of this generation in 2023's Cocoon. Its central puzzle mechanic revolves around transitioning among worlds inside additional worlds, and frequently you'll transport those realms, in the form of vibrant orbs, with you.

While it doesn't have explicit guidance, everything about Cocoon's challenges is built in a very intuitive manner, though they will test you as well. The year 2023 proved a massive year for games, so it's no surprise if Cocoon was a bit overlooked by the masses. We should correct that now.
