Excellent strategy RPG remaster Tactics Ogre: Reborn now has a two-hour game trial through PS Plus Premium. Admittedly, those two hours won't take you very far into what is a demandingly deep tactical title, but it may be just enough to get you hooked.
Sony's approach to PS Plus Premium trials has been odd up until now. New trials seem to be added at random, and you can never quite tell what game's lined up next. That said, there's a clear focus on recently released titles; the likes of Gotham Knights, Marvel's Midnight Suns, and Persona 5 Royal's PS5 version being prime examples. Tactics Ogre: Reborn is itself only a few months old.

These trials are obviously a great idea, but I find it annoying that trophies unlock.
When the main benefit of the premium service is you get to play random demos that otherwise should be free, there's something really wrong about the premium service.
It’s a shame that Trials is one of advantages of the Premium subscription, because such thing should be available for all by default.
I do find it odd that this gets a “free” trial, where as Octopath Traveller II gets a 3 hour prologue demo. They could of just released a prologue demo for this. Valkyrie Elysium and The DioField Chronicle also had prologue demos. Makes me wonder how they choose what gets what.
@Bentleyma "Obviously"? Well, I'd say they're at least somewhat controversial, see other comments. I think their benefit depends highly on the type of game. Five hours for an open-world-game seem okay. But for "Rollerdrome" for instance the two-hour time limit was probably the worst version of a demo the game could have gotten and I'd go as far as to say, it was perhaps actually harmful for the sales of that game.
It also appears unfitting for a time-consuming, complex turn-based strategy-game. Why not take one or two missions out of the game and let them repeat infinitely?
Those trials are handled careless and dumb. It's like they are thinking that it would be enough to just add anything to the premium subscribtion, without ever reflecting if that "anything" makes any sense at all.
@Migoshuro I meant obviously more in the sense that you get to try the game and not how they’re implemented.
@Bentleyma Okay. I got you wrong, then. Sorry. And I agree to that extent.
@Bentleyma for the most part those demos are all Square Enix games that I think they wanted to try and drive sales with: OCTOPATH, Valkyrie, diofield, Triangle Strategy, etc. Tactics has more of a legacy so I guess I’m not surprised they don’t do it with a title like that, similar to FF7 Remake.
I just tried Midnight Suns on PS+ Premium Trials & wow! Definitely buying that soon.
@Bentleyma definitely a way to lure certain people into buying.
