PS Plus November games lineup includes Nioh 2 Remastered and more

By Paige Lyman October 26, 2022

Three games are coming to PS Plus in November. As shared on the PlayStation Blog, the Lego Harry Potter Collection, Heavenly Bodies, and Nioh 2 Remastered will be available to subscribers starting on November 1.

Nioh 2 Remastered is a sequel to the 2017 single player action RPG that puts you in control of a custom-created character that is half-human and half-Yokai warrior. Developed by Team Ninja, Nioh 2 revamps the combat system from the original game as you play against monster bosses and deadly new enemies within Japan’s early Sengoku period.

PlayStation Plus members will be able to add both Nioh 2 and its remastered edition to their library next month.

The Lego Harry Potter Collection includes Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 — all remastered. Players can follow along with the Harry Potter crew through their entire Hogwarts journey with the humor and quirks we’ve all come to expect from Lego games. This compilation has all the puzzle-solving, dueling, and spell-casting you’d expect with the option for two players either online or local.

Heavenly Bodies is all about physics. A game about “cosmonauts, the body, and the absence of gravity,” players get to experience weightless motion in space. Through a number of different scenarios that draw inspiration from real-life feats that space researchers and explorers have undertaken, players get total control of a cosmonaut’s arms to help push, pull, and otherwise manhandle their way through a variety of challenges aboard a research station. Single-player mode and local co-op are available.

Additional games for the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium Game lineup for November will be announced later this month.

You need to check out this killer action game on PS Plus this month

A character in Rollerdrome skates in an arena.

Of the three games available for no additional cost with a PlayStation Plus Essential subscription this February, the best game isn’t the highest-profile one. A lot of attention is going to Foamstars, the odd multiplayer game Square Enix launched free on PS Plus, but the real gem of February 2024’s PS Plus Essential lineup is Rollerdrome from Roll7 and Private Division.

First released for PS5 and PC in August 2022, I previously described this game as Max Payne meets Skate. Essentially, Rollerdrome is a sports combat game where players must roller-skate around and do tricks in order to accrue ammo used to shoot enemies with guns. It’s a simple gameplay loop and premise that Rollerdrome gets the most out of, and it's a must-play for those looking for some simple yet satisfying action.
Blood sport
In Rollerdrome, players control a character named Kara Hassan as she ascends the ranks in the titular sport, which sees “players” combat each other with deadly weapons. While many of the enemies Kara takes on are mostly static, she can skate around on a pair of rollerblades. Rollerdrome features a full-on combo system like a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater or Skate titles, although it’s not as punishing if you mess up an input or chain together a combo properly.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered turns the original game into a cruel punch line

Lev draws a bow in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered.

It was a sunny spring day in 2020, amid the social isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, when I beat The Last of Us Part 2. As its long credits rolled, I paced around my small apartment living room, unpacking what had transpired. I adored the sequel’s first two acts and its multifaceted discussion of cyclical violence, but I found myself critical of its California-set finale. It seemed to backtrack on all the nuance of Ellie and Abby’s struggle by introducing a definitively evil faction that I wouldn’t feel bad about shooting with a machine gun. It was a discordant note at the end of a symphony, but I was determined to dig below my surface reading and try to understand what Naughty Dog was going for. It had earned that.

That’s when I was hit by the one moment of the game I’ll never forget. As I was deep in reflection, the credits wrapped up, and a final bit of text splashed on the screen. As a reward for finishing the brutal story, I had unlocked New Game+ mode, which would encourage me to replay it again with all my upgraded guns. The benefit of the doubt I’d given Naughty Dog went out the window; did the studio even understand its own game?

Don’t forget to grab this absurdly fun game on PS Plus this month

A whale opens its mouth in Nobody Saves the World.

While it's not yet clear what most of 2024 will look like for PlayStation owners, Sony is starting the year strong. Next week, it'll drop The Last of Us Part II Remastered as its first major exclusive. A few weeks later, it'll dip into live service with Helldivers 2. The rest of the year is a bit of a mystery from there, but it looks like PS Plus will help fill in some potential gaps.

To kick off 2024, PlayStation owners can claim three games at no additional charge with their PS Plus Essential subscription. The list is headlined by Game Awards nominee A Plague Tale: Requiem and the ultra-stylish Evil West. Both games are worth adding to your library, but there's one title that you especially can't miss: the absurdly entertaining Nobody Saves the World.
