Some of the games coming to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, including Squirrel with a Gun and Horizon Zero Dawn.
Sony

Sometimes when I play a game, I want a deep story that makes me feel connected to the characters. Other times, I want a nonsensical romp that allows me to shut my brain off and laugh for a minute. Squirrel with a Gun seems to be that kind of game. And good news, PlayStation Plus subscribers can play that game and others starting on April 21.

PlayStation Plus is Sony's version of Xbox Game Pass, offering subscribers a large and constantly expanding library of games. PlayStation Plus has three tiers -- Essential ($10 a month), Extra ($15 a month) and Premium ($18 a month) -- which each give subscribers access to games. But only Extra and Premium tier subscribers can access the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, while Essential subscribers can access only the monthly games. 

Here are all the games Sony is adding to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog in April. You can also check out the games all PS Plus subscribers can play until May 4.


Squirrel With a Gun

What more do I need to say about this game? You're a squirrel, and you have a gun, making you potentially the most American woodland critter behind a bald eagle. After escaping a secret facility, you're on the hunt for some acorns while you try to evade and defeat the Agents in this sandbox puzzle platformer game. You'll find out how far our furry friend is willing to go to get their nut -- acorns are nuts, get your mind out of the gutter.


Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered

Huge robotic dinosaur-looking machines are the dominant force in this award-winning action roleplaying game. You play as Aloy, a huntress who was cast out of the mountain-dwelling Nora tribe. In your search for answers about your past, you'll encounter machine and human enemies, beautiful landscapes and a plan to reclaim the land once and for all.


Monster Train

Hell has frozen over, the celestial forces of heaven are coming to extinguish the last burning pyre, and it's up to you to stop them. Monster Train is a unique roguelike deck builder that adds a twist by spreading your playing field out to three vertical areas. With over 250 cards to use and six different monster clans to call on, you'll have plenty of ways to ward off your enemies and take back your home.


Other games coming to PlayStation Plus

Those are some of the games you'll see on PlayStation Plus on April 21, and you'll also see these games on the service at that time.

*Premium subscribers only.
