This is a pretty good deal for PlayStation users, especially those with a PS VR system. The highlight of this month’s PS Plus lineup is Cold Symmetry’s 2020 surprise Mortal Shell. Early promotional material for the game suggested that Mortal Shell could be a competent soul-like, and when it came time for launch, it turned out to have a lot of tricks up its sleeve.

Mortal Shell has a similar game loop and combat that players may be familiar with from games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, but it rarely ever ventures into derivative territory. Instead, the game benefits from an added focus on storytelling and a narrative that’s slightly clearer and easier to understand than the usual obscurity in Dark Souls.

LEGO DC Super-Villains is also a pretty fun game that’s sure to be a highlight for fans of these iconic comic book villains. Godfall, despite not getting the best reception at launch, has amassed a loyal fan base thanks to its endlessly enjoyable slasher gameplay, as well as its surprising amount of lore and interesting world building.
