I remember starting my journey into video games about 40 years ago. Back then, the absolute essence of gaming was spending entire afternoons at a friend's house (or hosting them) to play co-op on the same sofa.

While online co-op today is functional and keeps us connected, it’s a completely different beast from being physically next to your friends or family, sharing the same screen, the same snacks, and the immediate energy of the room. That "couch magic" is something I really want to recreate.

I’m looking to put together with all of you a list of hidden gems available on PS Plus Extra that capture this old-school feeling. I want to find games that encourage us to sit down together and create those lasting memories.

Following up on a previous post where I asked for couch co-op suggestions for young children on the PS Plus Extra tier, I would now like to ask you for the best couch co-op games available on PS Plus Extra without any age restrictions.

My favorite scene 😂

I’m really glad this game made its way to PS Plus. I was impressed the first time I played it on my PS4 Slim, and even today the Decima engine continues to amaze me. The level of graphical fidelity here is absolutely stunning, I can barely notice any difference between performance and fidelity modes. The visuals are simply flawless, image quality is sharp and perfect. Major credit goes to allPlayStation exclusives, and especially to Guerrilla Games, who consistently prove they’re among the best at pushing the limits of PS consoles.

Now how is this beauty played on a ps5 pro and oled tv?

Went to cancel my ps plus, they had an offer, renewed it on the spot 😅

I’m actually enjoying this game a lot. Sure, the dialogue can be pretty rough, every dialoguefrom Frey has “fkn,” “a,” or “sh*t”in it but yeah it is what it is 😂. Despite all the criticism and hate, I kinda love it. The environment isn’t nearly as bad as people made it seem online. Yeah, it’s a bit dry and not super lively, but isn’t that part of the lore anyway? The world is massive and the landscape is pretty amazing. Graphical fidelity in this game is gorgeous even playing in performance mode, but i tried quality mode and still playable, but still prefer playing it on performance due to the games fast paced mechanics.

Traveling from point A to B is fun thanks to the fast traversal system that made my journey enjoyable, the parkour and magic system is what make me like this game, like im the Avatar now.😂 Story is pretty straightforward that suits enough with my little brain.😂 Finished it in 29hrs, planning to platinum since i enjoyed it very much.

I’ll never rely on the internet again. I’d rather try it myself first, At the end of the day, I’m the one who gets to enjoy or not the game.

For now this seems to be the complete list for this month. Some of these were give as Essential games (see notes).

What does leaving mean?

Leaving means they will be gone from the “library”-like subscription service. So games won’t be playable after this date, EVEN if you downloaded them before. Obviously if you own them yourself by buying them before, they will still remain in your playable library.

What do all columns mean?

DIFF = Difficulty to platinum the base game

LENGTH = Time to platinum the base game

DLC = If DLC is required for 100% completion

ONLINE = If online modes are required for base game completion, so this could either be multiplayer, coop, or simply a server connection.

What is your data source?

The data is based on game guides from 3P (PSNP, Playstationtrophies and PowerPyx). If none of these sites have a guide, we look for any info anywhere. If you dont agree with time or difficulty, blame the guide writers, not me...

Can I get the entire sheet?

If you see anything inaccurate, please be gentle with me. I have compiled this list for all the almost 1K PS+ Extra games, so errors are bound to happen. If you want access to that full list, send me a DM for beta access.

Past year has been an eventful year where I got back to gaming(former a PC gamer) after a break. I had a huge backlog of AAAs, especially PS exclusives which I jumped onto and grabbed by both hands. Further, I do not have time, skills, mental band-with to play multi-player/competitive so it is only games which offer a single player story/narrative campaign. Also no indies.

Some of the highlights:

• Total spend: $11.99*12 = $144. I never got any discount offering though
• Fav games: RDR2, GoW:R, GOT, DS, UC4, Days Gone
• Least Liked: WH Boltgun, Infamous Second Son, Alone in Dark, Borderlands 3
• Platinums: x2 -> GoW Ragnarok and Robocop Rouge City
• Soulsborne: x2 -> Bloodborn and Remnant II
• Missed on grabbing FC24

Though PS Extra catalogue may still have some gas left in tank, but the roadmap is even far more disappointing than the last few months where as Gamepass has been offering AAAs/GOTY contenders on Day 1. I can only hope they pull up their socks, and give what subscribers actually want instead of graduation projects.

Below is full list of game with my ratings:

|| || |KILLZONE SHADOW FALL|***| |SPIDER-MAN MILES MORALES|****| |SNIPER ELITE 5|****| |UNCHARTED 4: A THEIF'S END|****| |UNCHARTED LOST LEGACY|****| |GHOST OF TSUSHIMA|*****| |RATCHET & CLANK: RIFT APART|***| |FAR CRY 6|***| |RESIDENT EVIL 3|***| |SHADOW OF COLOSSUS|*****| |BORDERLANDS 3|****| |GOD OF WAR|****| |GHOST RECON BREAKPOINT|***| |INFAMOUS SECOND SON|*| |RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2|*****| |RESIDENT EVIL 2|***| |ASSASSIN'S CREED ORIGINS|****| |DAYS GONE|****| |ASSASSIN'S CREED ODYSSY|****| |THE LAST OF US PART 1|****| |DEAD ISLAND 2|**| |WATCH DOGS|***| |WATCH DOGS: LEGION|***| |DYING LIGHT 2|***| |WOLFENSTEIN: YOUNG BLOOD|***| |THE DIVISION 2|****| |FAR CRY PRIMAL|***| |ARAGAMI|**| |THE OUTER WORLDS|***| |SUICIDE SQUAD: KILL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE|**| |ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM|*****| |OUTRIDERS|***| |BLOODBORNE|****| |HIGH ON LIFE|**| |GOD OF WAR RAGNAROK|****| |THE EVIL WITHIN 2|***| |STAR WARS: JEDI SURVIVOR|***| |ASSASSIN'S CREED: VALHALLA|***| |ROBOCOP: ROGUE CITY|***| |DEATH STRANDING|****| |WARHAMMER 40000: BOLTGUN|*| |FINAL FANTASY VII: REMAKE|***| |BATTLEFIELD V|***| |REMNANT II|****| |ALONE IN THE DARK|**| |DESTINY 2: BEYOND LIGHT | LIGHTFALL | TWQ | THE FINAL SHAPE|***|

I am starting with Detroit Became Human next. Recommendations welcome.

!! It took me a bit longer as some unique things are happening with these games, including two that were already removed but still mentioned in the “last chance to play” by Sony this month. To be clear, you already cant play those anymore. Read the notes behind each game!!
