Let’s jump into those games!
It Takes Two | PS4, PS5
Step into the quirky world of It Takes Two, a co-op-only adventure that breaks all the traditional gaming molds. You can team up with a friend using split-screen co-op, whether from your couch or online. With a Friend’s Pass, invite a buddy to join in on the fun for free. You’ll be playing as Cody and May, a couple turned into dolls thanks to a magic spell. Stuck in a bizarre world filled with surprises, their mission is to mend their shaky relationship. You’ll have unique abilities at each level, tackling weird and wonderful challenges like squirrel fights and piloting underpants. Expect loads of laughter and a narrative that’s not only touching but integrated into every element of play.
Aliens: Dark Descent | PS4, PS5
Gear up for some intense sci-fi strategy with Aliens: Dark Descent. As a squad leader of colonial marines, you’ll tackle a Xenomorph outbreak on Moon Lethe, using real-time tactics. Whether it’s dealing with classic Xenomorphs, desperate Weyland-Yutani operatives, or a slew of new horrific creatures, you’ll need to think fast and smart. The enemies adapt, so don’t expect to breeze through—death here is very much permanent.
Temtem | PS5
Who hasn’t dreamed of becoming a Temtem tamer? This game lets you traverse the six islands of the Airborne Archipelago in search of new species while forging friendships. On your journey, capture little creatures called Temtem, fight other tamers, and even trade onyx-covered fields. Face off against Clan Belsoto, conquer eight Dojo Leaders, and claim your title as the ultimate Temtem tamer.
These games are available to PlayStation Plus members from December 3 until January 6.
