Lego Horizon Adventures
The Horizon games received the Lego treatment last year with Lego Horizon Adventures, and soon, PS Plus subscribers can add it to their game library. Aloy will once again battle machines to save the Earth, but in a more light-hearted adventure than the other games. She can be joined by other heroes from the games, such as Varl, Teersa and Erend. Players can play co-op on the couch with a friend or online.
Only PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can play this game in December.
Killing Floor III
Killing Floor 3 came out back in July and continues the franchise's theme of letting players kill a ton of monsters. The horror horde shooter has players take on waves of bioengineered creatures in up to six-player co-op. The megacorp Horzine is behind these monsters roaming the streets, and it's up to Specialists from the rebel faction Nightfall to take down these hordes of Zeds to improve their gear and gadgets to mow down even more monsters.
All PS Plus subscribers can access this game in December.
The Outlast Trials
Outlast is one of the scariest franchises in gaming, and for those who want to share in the horror, there is The Outlast Trials. From developer Red Barrels, players can play solo or form a trio to work together and survive the Murkoff Corporation facility. Leaving alive requires avoiding hiding from terrifying enemies and using tools to get around stealthily without bringing any attention. The more trials players survive, the more tools they get access to that will hopefully get them out of the facility alive.
