What’s it about? Do you like crows? Stupid question, everyone likes crows! But even if you’re one of those exotics who can’t stand the black-feathered fellows, Death’s Door will change your mind and turn you into a crow fan!
Do you like crows?
You take on the role of a crow who, as the Grim Reaper, collects the souls of the dead. Sounds scary, but plays fantastically – the GlobalESportNews even gives it a 90 in the test!
Because a few very important souls slip through your fingers, you’ll have to embark on a whirlwind adventure to collect them back.
The gameplay is reminiscent of a mixture of Zelda and Dark Souls. Zelda, because you explore a fantasy world, open treasure chests and find items. Dark Souls, because you get beaten up – by normal enemies, but also by particularly tough bosses. Don’t worry, it’s never unfair and in the end you’ll come out victorious – after all, you are a crow!
The other August titles for PS-Plus
Our highlight doesn’t knock your socks off? Never mind, because Sony is adding more free titles, some of which you’re sure to love:
- Dreams: Always wanted to make your own game? No problem, with Dreams you have almost unlimited possibilities even on the PlayStation! If you dig in here, you can make your gaming dreams come true. (available for PS4)
- PGA Tour 2K23: The golfers among you may cheer, because Sony has thought of you too. The latest game in the long-running PGA series offers varied gameplay around the hearty hole. (available for PS4 and PS5)

New games coming, old games flying out of subscription. You only have until 31 July to download the following games from PS Plus Essentials:
- Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
