A new month means a new PlayStation Plus Monthly Games lineup. October’s titles of The Callisto Protocol, Farming Simulator 22 and Weird West will be available to PlayStation Plus members on Tuesday, October 3 until Monday November 6. Let’s take a closer look at each game.

The Callisto Protocol | PS5, PS4​

In this narrative-driven, third-person survival horror set 300 years in the future, take on the role of Jacob Lee – a victim of fate thrown into Black Iron Prison, a maximum-security penitentiary located on Jupiter’s moon, Callisto. When inmates begin to transform into monstrous creatures, the prison is thrown into chaos. To survive, Jacob must battle his way to safety to escape Black Iron Prison, while uncovering the dark and disturbing secrets buried beneath the surface of Callisto. Using a unique blend of shooting and close-quarters combat, Jacob will need to adapt his tactics to combat the rapidly evolving creatures while scavenging to unlock new weapons, gear, and abilities to outrun the growing threat and escape the horrors of Jupiter’s Dead Moon.

Farming Simulator 22 | PS5, PS4​

Take on the role of a modern farmer and creatively build your farm in three diverse American and European environments. Farming Simulator 22 offers a huge variety of farming operations focusing on agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry – now with the exciting addition of seasonal cycles!
More than 400 machines and tools from over 100 real agricultural brands like John Deere, CLAAS, Case IH, New Holland, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, Valtra and many more are included to sow and harvest crops like wheat, corn, potatoes and cotton. New machine categories and crops add new gameplay mechanics to the experience. Run your farm cooperatively in multiplayer and extend the game by a multitude of free community-created modifications. Farming Simulator 22 offers more player freedom than ever before and challenges you to become a successful farmer – so start farming and let the good times grow!

Weird West | PS5, PS4​

Discover a dark fantasy reimagining of the Wild West where lawmen and gunslingers share the frontier with fantastical creatures, each playing with their own rules and their own peculiar motives in this isometric action RPG. The game supports different styles of play in a simulated sandbox world where characters, factions, and even places react to a player’s decisions, and players are faced with brutal choices and consequences that can’t be undone – including death. Discover the world through origin stories of different characters, moving from one character’s journey to the next until all converge in a final chapter.

Callisto definitely will be tried on my end.

With Saints Row and now Callisto Protocol, is PSPlus being used kinda like a safety net?

If they games don't do well, they end up on PSPlus within a year.... and the devs get some cash back in their pockets to hopefully continue on.

Im OK with tht as some games don't do well but are hidden gems.

Oh, me too!

I think sometimes it's nice to have a mechanism there to save a studio or project that didn't hit the popularity they expected.

Definitely! So many studios we wished lived on such as Zipper, Evolution, etc anything to help them.

Weird West is from ex-Arkane devs that left after all their games flopped. Could be interesting.

Great month for Essential as usual

 

[Ezekiel]

Another banger month, fuck the haters

Another banger month, fuck the haters

They've been having alot of solid months lately. Definitely worth it. If I didn't care about playing the newest games I'd be OK just playing the games off the service.

Already own Callisto but was thinking of buying Weird West. Sony needs to start adding some VR2 games in PS Plus

Amazing month.

I’m enjoying Callisto protocol quite a bit in its opening moments. And it’s also a stunning looking game in performance mode as well. Looking forward to playing some more.

It’s a good old fashioned no nonsense style of game. No getting lost, no backtracking. Just atmosphere and momentum.

It might’ve just gotten slammed by not satisfying modern game critic bullet point checklist requirements trash standards. I can see that. I don’t want to say I’m instantly loving it (but I kinda am). I’m willing to see it thru. I need a shorter game at the moment.

It clearly has undercooked verity. That’s its obvious shortcoming - but it doesn’t take away from what’s there. This is why a sequel could have built on what’s there and been amazing.

The only issue is the combat after the patch is so easy to exploit, the dodge mechanic is too OP since the enemies come at you one by one.

The story, Atmosphere and production values are top notch though

Really digging Callisto Protocol. The setting and presentation... Gameplay is fine. Reminds me of The Order in some ways. I should’ve prefaced with saying that I kinda loved The Order for what it was…

Great ps plus drop as far as I’m concerned. Honestly really pleasantly surprised … I miss games like this. Also one of the best looking games I’ve seen running on my ps5 so far too.

Oh it’s not 200 plus hours and filled with surface level rpg mechanics … oh no

 

[BroodCorp]

Callisto makes me agitated because people hyped it up so much.
