Happy Fourth of July! It’s a holiday weekend, so you’re probably going to have a lot of time to relax and party — or play video games inside while everyone else is blowing up fireworks in the blistering summer heat outside. If you’re anything like me, you’re probably looking for some new games to play over the course of Independence Day weekend this year, and subscription services like PlayStation Plus Premium thankfully provide tons of options for you to check out.
Recommended Videos Assassin’s Creed 3: Remastered Assassin’s Creed 3 capped off the original narrative saga for the Assassin’s Creed series and is set during the American Revolution. It’s the Assassin’s Creed series at its peak, with an fascinating modern-day narrative starring Desmond and an engaging historical open world to explore with fun parkour mechanics. This is also where the naval combat that would go on to define Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag first appeared.
The PS4 version of Assassin’s Creed 3: Remastered is available through the PlayStation Plus Extra game catalog. The original version of the game was released for PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U, while Assassin’s Creed 3: Remastered is also available on PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Destroy All Humans! is unabashedly satirical; by the end of the game, you’ll be fighting a “Robo-Prez” mech across the United States’ capital before impersonating him on a national broadcast. Although the game’s PS2 roots can be seen in its somewhat janky gameplay, it has such a distinct personality that I recommend fans of quirky third-person shooters check out it. Its focus on making fun of 1950s Americana and colorful aesthetic make it a surprisingly fitting summer game as well.
