It’s once again time for Sony to unveil which games are being added to its PlayStation Plus service and its various tiers in the second half of March. The list features some solid choices, including a Jak and Daxter game, the Resident Evil 3 remake, a DC Lego adventure, and one of my favorite Marvel games of the last decade: Midnight Suns.

Every month, PlayStation Plus subscribers get a few free games. How many you have access to depends on which tier you’re paying for as part of the company’s revamped and more-convoluted-than-it-needs-to-be-system.

On March 13, PlayStation announced which new games Premium and Extra subscribers will be able to play starting on March 19. At the top of the list is Marvel’s Midnight Suns. This turn-based comic book game blends some light life-sim-like elements, including romance and dates, with fun-as-hell tactical combat that has you kicking cars at classic Marvel villains like Venom. It also features a compelling narrative that feels unlike anything you’d normally see in the MCU, which is rather refreshing. Don’t let its card-based action scare you away, this is a fantastic game and worth playing, even if you aren’t the biggest superhero lover.

Also, shoutout to Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier coming to PS4 and PS5. It’s nice to see the PSP/PS2 sequel getting some more love and it’s also just nice to see PlayStation remember that it owns colorful and silly franchises, and not just open-world games and live-service things.
