Exploring PlayStation Plus' games for January 2023

1) Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a Soulslike action-adventure game set in the world of Star Wars. It follows the story of Cal Kestis, who is being hunted by the Galactic Empire for being an outlaw Jedi. He attempts to escape his pursuers while trying to complete his training.

The title is set in a third-person perspective with Cal being equipped with a lightsaber and the powers of the force, which can be used to solve and deal with enemies. Additionally, Cal acquires new force abilities as the game progresses.

The combat can be quite demanding, and requires proper use of abilities and good reaction time to deal with enemies. Parrying, dodging, blocking - all need to be precisely timed to be effective.

2) Fallout 76

Fallout 76 didn't have the best launch since it had excessive bugs and glitches. The developers have fixed those issues since then, which has helped keep the game alive with a healthy number of concurrent players.

It basically takes the Fallout formula and turns it into a massively multiplayer online game. The title involves many players roaming around the same map and interacting with one another.

Taking place in a West Virginia-inspired world called Appalachia, fans can find and fight many monsters inspired by local folklore. Gathering resources and gear is integral to the progression of their character, and along with that, players have much larger and varied landscapes to build their settlements on.

3) Axiom Verge 2

The game is a metroidvania, which means players will need to unlock new abilities and powers in order to progress and explore new areas. The main character, Indra Chaudhari, receives a mysterious message asking her to come to Antarctica if she wants to find her missing daughter.

The title lets players switch between two dimensions with their own unique areas to explore and puzzles to solve. Axiom Verge 2 has some excellent 2D art that blends the snowy landscapes of Antarctica with alien-like future technology.

Players can get these games for free if they are subscribed to PlayStation Plus Essentials or higher during the month of January.
