Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for March 2023?

Neither happy or sad. The day it becomes a source of my happiness is the day I need to reevaluate my choices. Having said that, it's a decent selection that I find value for the cost of my month's sub.

Not a single one.
Roll on next month.

I've been vaguely interested in code vein since it came out, but never enough to actually buy it, so I'm actually looking forward to giving that one a try this month. The past few months have had absolutely nothing of value for me personally so it's a nice change

Of the 3 the only I am interested in is Code Vein, but even then, I don't think I am interested enough to actually play it. A lot of Bamco's action RPGs look kind of cool to me, but I don't know. I feel the exact same way about Scarlet Nexus.

If we get Tales of Arise down the road I'd probably give that a go.

The only game up my alley is Code Vein and I already completed that, so nothing for me this month.

Nothing here for me either.

Hopefully next month is better.

I bought code vein when it first came out but was way too hard for me, but I haven't played Minecraft Legends or Battlefield so I'm happy with those. I'm more looking forward to the Extra tier additions this month overall, especially Tchia.

Don’t really care. Extra still has 3 100hr plus games I want to play that I don’t have time to start. Im starting to see the value proposition isn’t there because I’m so far behind on pancake games that it’d be cheaper to just buy them second hand when / if I eventually get the time. Probably won’t renew my sub regardless of how good the games are (unless they start adding VR2 games, as then it’ll likely save me money).

Quite looking forward to Dungeons. Code Vein and Battlefield just look painfully average at best.

@FinneasGH if you enjoy fps games battlefield is decent and i really enjoyed code vein on the ps4 and even more on the ps5 in 60fps..pretty cool game for nowt 👍

I tried Code Vein's demo and it was so boring, at least it's free here. Screw 2042 though.

Code vein is a good soulslike game for those who like anime, if you're interested give it a try , as for the rest well they suck lol

Code Vein's actually pretty cool. It's like anime Bloodborne with less stress and tension than actual Bloodborne. Too bad I already have it.

Month looks crap

There are always a bunch of negative nancies with unrealistic expectations on these articles.

Code Vein is a game I considered buying multiple times but never did and now I don’t need to.

Play Code Vein if you are interested. Anime dark souls where u have a companion who can also heal you. Good story and not the challenge traditional souls games are to that extent.

@Ryall highly recommend you play it now as part of the service

Battlefield 2042 is not worth your time. Save yourselves a download

Nothing for me here, but that’s totally fine. Previous months including Extra plus Game Pass have provided me with a backlog I’ll never be able to clear.

Nothing for me but it is fine, I only pay for Cloud Saves anyway...

Nothing for me. Battlefield 2042 and Minecraft Dungeons are both already on Game Pass, and Code Vein just left Game Pass on Feb 15th.

In all respect it should be called ps4 ➕️ because we're not going to see much ps5 games for another year or two. Sometimes their is some gems in their but if your like most of us your caught up. I surely don't base my month off of this not that big of deal really.

Who can be happy when we still have not been given knack 2 despite exceptional patience.

I tried code vein on gamepass and though it was ok

I’m fine with anything really. I’m from a generation of gaming where spending $30 a year (I think most of commenting buy PS+ at a discount online) to get “free” games each month is still mind boggling to me even though I’ve been a part of it all every step of the way since the late NES. I guess nothing seems that bad when I remember buying N64 games for $60-$80 a pop 25 years ago.

That being said, I have Plus for the discounts. I buy all my games and sometimes the monthly games fills in the gaps I missed or haven’t gotten to yet.

I already own Code Vein outright and Battlefield is another I’ll claim and almost certainly never play.

It’s all gravy for me. Can see why many get upset, but I guess I use Plus differently than most because I just buy what I want instead of hoping it eventually comes to the service at some unknown point.

Well seems the vote is in these selection is right for the bin, anyone that likes Minecraft will have that by now, and I don't think it's the game that people ponder about playing.
Code vein caters to small audience and is just "okay"
And they give the worst Battlefield game
Roll on next month

@SilverShamrock Very good comment. Stupid amount of entitlement from some when it comes to Plus.

They're just okay, I prefer scarlet nexus rather than code vein.

Meh. Got OlliOlli World last month so no real complaints.

There's always that one smart alec who voted to say they don't actually own PS+. 😄

Above average month. Battlefield is junk, but the other 2 are good Plus choices.

@SilverShamrock It's an age thing.
I'm even older than you, been gaming since Atari 2600 launched! (I'm 49)
Older we are, more money we tend to have usually and can afford to buy what we want.
But for the kids, even college age on a tight budget, they can't just buy anything whenever they want, so I don't really fault them on hoping for decent choices, since the games aren't free.
They are a part of what you pay for with the subscription. If no one critiqued Sony's choices in monthly games, then Sony could get away with putting up train simulators.
Only from pushback for better quality could we ever get Code Vein.
For some, it breaks the bank just affording a console, broadband, tv.....stuff's expensive and everyone are different economic levels.
So it's a good thing to acknowledge to Sony if games are good or bad to keep them trying.

Wasn't really interested in those games, but did resubscribe to take advantage of the £5 top tier for a month, not bad for a month's rental of Forbidden West.😁
