PlayStation Plus November 2023: A Month of Mobsters, Aliens, and Super Saiyan Adventure
This month’s PlayStation Plus Essential free games kick off November 2023 with a trio of exciting adventures. From November 7 to December 4, members can embrace their inner mobster, take on swarms of alien threats, and unleash their Super Saiyan potential with Mafia II: Definitive Edition (PS4), Aliens Fireteam Elite (PS5/PS4), and Dragon Ball: The Breakers (PS4). Let’s dive into each of these enticing titles and see what awaits PlayStation Plus subscribers in November.
Mafia II: Definitive Edition – Ageing Remake with a Tale of Trust and Power
Mafia II: Definitive Edition might not be the perfect remake it was meant to be. It shows its age through archaic gameplay mechanics and features a dialogue that makes it feel like a Scorsese gangster film. However, the game offers a fascinating story about power, trust, and the rise and fall of mobster Vito Scaletta. This open-world action-adventure provides minimal busywork between missions, making it an enjoyable experience for gamers looking to immerse themselves in a well-written narrative.
The game boasts a visual upgrade from its PS3 and Xbox 360 counterparts, but don’t expect a complete overhaul. The busy streets, the treacherous alleys, and the underlying danger gives players an authentic feel of living through the crime-filled era of the 1940s and ’50s. If you’re ready to overlook the outdated gameplay and embrace the mobster’s life, Mafia II: Definitive Edition is a worthy addition to your library.
Aliens Fireteam Elite – Tactical, Action-packed Xenomorph Warfare Experience
For fans of the Alien franchise, Aliens Fireteam Elite proves to be an adrenaline-fueled escapade. Dive into the fast-paced combat scenarios on planet LV-895, fighting through hordes of bloodthirsty Xenomorphs. With different Marine classes, a variety of weapons, and unique special abilities, it allows players to strategize and adapt to multiple situations.
The game offers a thrilling cooperative multiplayer experience as well, letting you team up with friends or swap out AI-controlled teammates. Graphics and visuals are top-notch, immersing you in the chilling world of the Alien universe. Several expansions have been released since launch—these optional add-ons are available at affordable prices, enabling players to further enhance their experience in this survival-action nightmare.
Dragon Ball: The Breakers – Unleash Your Inner Super Saiyan
The world of Dragon Ball is no stranger to fighting games, but this time, we’re treated to a 7v1 asymmetrical multiplayer experience in Dragon Ball: The Breakers. Play as either one of seven survivors trying to escape or assume the role of the powerful villain attempting to eradicate everyone. The survivor’s view takes on a third-person perspective, while the villain has a top-down overview of the map.
With iconic Dragon Ball characters, the game promises a unique fusion of survival and action. Players can unlock new character skins, gain upgrades, and obtain special abilities as they progress. The graphics and controls feel smooth and responsive, immersing players in the chaotic world of Dragon Ball.
