PS Plus Essential Games for November 2022

Nioh 2/Nioh 2 Remastered

Nioh 2 is a tough action RPG from Team Ninja – but is probably one of the best Soulslikes out there. It’s set in Japan in the late 1500 and lets you take the power of a Yokai spirit.

This gives you some pretty badass supernatural abilities on top of your samurai skills – but don’t expect a walk in the park as you fight mythical monsters. The game’s fast paced combat is tough but fair.

Those on the PlayStation 5 will get the Remastered version of the game, with the visuals given a next-gen upgrade to take advantage of the newer console’s increased horsepower.

Lego Harry Potter Collection

As the name suggests, this is a collection of both previous Lego Harry Potter games – namely Years 1-4 and Years 5-7 both remastered and brought together.

You’ll go through the boy wizard’s story brick and brick and book by book as you explore Hogwarts and play as a wealth of characters from the series. And don’t forget to go to class while you’re at it.

Heavenly Bodies

Finally, Heavenly Bodies is a physics based puzzler – that sees you playing with gravity and physics while onboard a scientific research station in space.

With a control scheme somewhat similar to games like QWOP you’d expect things to get silly fast, but it’s actually a very polished, very competent puzzle game that’ll keep your brain sharp.

Check out its trailer below.

Last month, those on the PS Plus Essential tier got to download Hot Wheels Unleashed, Injustice 2 and Superhot.

Curiously enough, the PlayStation Blog post doesn’t give a date for when these games will be leaving the service. Perhaps we’ll find out if this is significant, or just an oversight, at the end of the month.
