Thanks to PS Plus you will find many games that you can play for free. Our Top 8 shows you the games that rightly have an ingenious rating.

Hamburg – Buying video games and owning them permanently is out, subscription services and game passes are the hot new shit now. Sony jumped on the trend this year and launched the new PS Plus subscription model in June. With PS Plus Extra (and the higher Premium tier), subscribers now have ongoing access to tons of games. But only a few of them can really call themselves masterpieces. Only eight games in PS Plus Extra have a Metacritic rating of 90 or higher, here we show you what they are.

What is Metacritic anyway? Metacritic is a website that compiles average ratings for new games, series, and movies. The platform takes reviews and ratings from all websites registered there and calculates an average with a score from 0 to 100. So if you want to see at a glance whether a newly released game is any good, you can do it very easily there. Pretty much every game in the PS Plus Extra library has its own score on Metacritic.
