The PS Plus Extra August 2022 lineup includes hundreds of great games and while AAA blockbusters tend to get the most attention, there are always players looking for lesser-known, smaller games to try. It looks like Sony noticed that too as the company decided to curate a list of 20 “hidden gems” that can be found in the current lineup. The list contains a number of hit indies so you’ve probably heard of some of these games. Nevertheless, it’s a pretty handy list if you’re looking for something different.
