November's PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium selection is bound to divide opinion. On the one hand, Extra's got some potential bangers in the form of Like a Dragon: Ishin!, and the vastly improved Dying Light 2. Oh, and there's a little game called Grand Theft Auto 5 — but who hasn't played Rockstar's eternal open worlder at this point?
But then you look down the list, and it's admittedly a bit all over the place. We think Digimon Survive is a pretty good game but Digimon obviously ain't for everyone, while Overcooked — another solid choice — has been around for what feels like decades. Stick Fight: The Game? Clash: Artifacts of Chaos? MotoGP 24? It's an eclectic collection of titles, to say the least.
Premium is similarly interesting. Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Blood Omen 2 are both up for grabs — two classics, some would argue — and the Resistance series is finally making a comeback with Fall of Man and its sequel, Resistance 2. The catch? They've only available through streaming thanks to their PS3 origins.

Everyone played gta5, but what we need is a pro enhanced version!
@Blauwe_Chimay it is already too old for that. And it is decent as PS5 version goes.
I already own ishin like a dragon on disc and also have dying light 2 on PS4 and steam which I can play whenever I want so there is not much else to look forward to 🥱
No complaints this month.
Really wished they added trophies to resistance fall of man even if it's just streaming
@Dom_31 nope, zero first but it's your call where to start
@Dom_31 honestly, I don't think it's a good starting point, especially given it's a paintover of old an older game, it really shows in the game design. It's by no means a bad game, I just couldn't get into it and I LOVE feudal Japan themes AND Yakuza games..
I never got around to buying Dying light 2, I knew it was going to be a better game than the first one, but as I just couldn't get into the first one after trying it a second time years later, I was hesitant to buy 2. So yay me haha.
I liked Blood Omen 2 back in the day, but it was definitely a weaker Kain title, so I can't imagine it has held up well at all but still neat to take that trip down forgotten PS2 memory lane.
I've not played a Digimon game since PS1 days so will give it a go.
Overall a stronger month for me personally than the previous month.
@Dom_31 @JalapenoSpiceLife
Correct me if I am wrong but Ishin has way too many character references, even though they are not "playing" the "yakuza" character they are still "playing" the general archetype similar to the "yakuza" one. Like a play where all the actors just act like themselves but as different people. Not being familiar with who these characters are in the older games will ensure that half the fun of this game is lost on a newcomer.
Extra is trash, but Premium is looking good barring if the the Blood Omen games have trophy support or not.
I await native PS3 emulation. That all I got to say about this month.
Dying Light 2 and Like a Dragon: Ishin. I just can't play them right now. I hope they stay in the service for a long time!!
Not to fussed about the extra games but Premium is stacked, really liking the VR game a month on premium also
I bought Ishin last month with rewards points and if I hadn't I'd be happy with this month for that alone. As it is, I'll give dying light a go. Wasn't too enamoured by the first one but it wasted some hours
This month's Premium is actually more exciting to me than Extra - and that one isn't bad either!
I'll definitely be playing Synapse and Resistance
@RoomWithaMoose You'll be waiting a l-o-n-g time.
I've still got my copies of Resistance so I'd rather play there rather than streaming.
@sanderson72 Yes, I have.
Synapse for the home run 👌
Solid selection overall, only downside being you can't play the Resistance games outside of streaming. Hopefully some day the PS3 emulation issue will be remedied.
Killer Frequency is good fun. Check that one out if you get bored.
always wanted to check out Dying Light 2 but getting kind of tired of this adding and re-adding GTA5.
Every month there's no knack 2 I have to say its a terrible selection.
I get a feeling Legacy of Kain will have aged like milk, but I have nostalgic memories of playing that at my friend's house when I was about 15 so I'll be checking it out. I basically remember it felt like a slightly janky and somewhat desperately edgelordy LttP, but it's one of those games that just stuck in my memory.
@dom_31 - agree with the others. Ishin should be the last one you play in my opinion. Start with Zero and work up from there.
Personally I'm very excited as I'm actually just about to finished a playthrough of like a dragon Yakuza so I'm interested to play another game in the series even if it's a completely different game I can't believe how much I enjoyed Yakuza after years of overlooking it.
Dying light 2 might be a fun way to spend a evening although I'm zombie fatigued tbh and the original never bit me.
Also synapse is an amazing VR game whoever has a headset but has not picked this up yet is in for a real treat.
Legacy of kain games will be great to experience before the remaster
I'm obviously a little disappointed my region won't get the resistance games given that I'm in Australia where cloud streaming is not an option despite having gigabit connections Sony never bothered to build the infrastructure here. At least I still have my PS3 and a copy of resistance is $2 at CeX so I'll live.
I'm rarely unhappy. Some good titles here that I will play if I ever clear my backlog, and a chance to play Resistance again is the icing on the cake.
There are some months where I already have the main offerings of course, but I think this service strikes a decent balance over the course of the year and is good value for the entry fee.
I played the Ishin demo but didn’t click with the combat. I’ve played and loved every other game in the Yakuza universe, but didn’t buy this one. It’s price has been really slow to drop to a level I’d be willing to take a chance on it, so I’m really looking forward to trying it out.
For the record, I'm still out here not having played or even tried GTA5
I cannot believe that they still don't have released an emulator for PS3 games. Streaming / PS+ Premium is not available in all countries, let alone the fact that streaming just sucks as a concept.
