PlayStation Plus Game and Classics Catalogue for April 2023 Announced

/

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the April 2023 Game Catalog and Classic Catalog lineup and it’s packed with Bethesda titles.

All these titles will be added to their respective catalogs on April 18.

Another decent month for subscribers that opt for the higher tier of PlayStation Plus. Kena: Bridge of Spriits is an action-adventure that received good reviews when it was released in 2021 as it was one of the games to look out for that year.

Other great titles coming to the service that are worth mentioning are most of the Doom franchise and the latest of the Wolfenstein series now part of PlayStation’s library of games on offer. Lastly, Riders Republic is the latest edition coming from Ubisoft and is a must-try as I was blown away by how much fun an extreme sports game can be when designed with an open world.

Sadly, as for the Classics Catalog, no games from the PS1 or PS2 days were announced, but we do get a fair amount of classic Doom titles to revisit.

Here’s the full list of games below.

Games Leaving PS Plus

It’s bound to happen. As new games are added to each catalog, games that have been available for months will eventually leave the service. Sony announced that Marvel’s Spider-Man, Resident Evil, and NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 will be leaving the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog in May. Subscribers that have access to the catalog have until May 15 to play the games leaving in May.

There will be a ‘Last chance to play’ section on PlayStation Plus to serve as a reminder of what titles are leaving.

Animal Well Review - A Wholly Unique Pixel Art Puzzle Masterpiece
Animal Well Review - A Wholly Unique Pixel Art Puzzle Masterpiece

It’s easy to describe Animal Well as a puzzle-focused Metroidvania eschewing traditional combat, where nearly every room is a puzzle room, but that falls so far short of describing just what this game is and how expertly it defies genre and classification that it feels like a disservice. Animal Well is a paragon of the art form, a game that simply must be experienced.

Stellar Blade Review - A Challenging Adventure That Doesn’t Stick the Landing
Stellar Blade Review - A Challenging Adventure That Doesn’t Stick the Landing

Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Review - Meeting This Epic Adventure Halfway
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Review - Meeting This Epic Adventure Halfway

In the grand scheme of things, Capcom has delivered a sequel to make Dragon’s Dogma fans happy and wishing for more, but this isn’t a massive upgrade. Rather, it’s a modernization of the overall concept as the highs and lows of the first game mirror the sequel. If you can weather the storm that is Dragon’s Dogma 2, you might come out as one of the players who consider this one of the best RPG experiences they’ve ever played, or simply the worst.
