PlayStation Plus’ latest offerings are now available to download.

In case you missed the announcement, three new titles have landed on the essential tier which all subscribers can enjoy.

They are High On Life, Payday 3, and Pac-Man World Re-Pac.

It’s an … alright line-up. I wouldn’t say it’s one that’s blown fans away, but there are pockets of fun to be found within this selection.

That’s if you can place your feelings about PlayStation Plus’ latest controversial decision to one side.

Payday 3 may appear to be the standout title this month given that it’s the most recently released game in the February line-up, but it’s perhaps Pac-Man World Re-Pac that you should be directing your attention towards.

You can view the aforementioned Payday 3 in action below.

Released in 2022, Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a remake of Pac-Man World which launched on PlayStation all the way back in 1999.

This is a pretty far cry from the OG Pac-Man arcade game.

Pac-Man World Re-Pac is essentially a 3D platformer, and one that packs a punch when it comes to nostalgia for those of us who enjoyed the game on the OG PlayStation.

“Haven't played that Pac-Man one since the 90s. Nostalgic moment when I get home,” wrote Reddit user Yggdr4si1.

“Yo Pac-Man Re-Pac is a nostalgia trip I'm more than happy to go down,” added Pirate_Tony666.

According to How Long To Beat, it’ll take you five to six hours to complete Pac-Man World Re-Pac’s main objectives, with completionists putting in closer to nine hours.

So don’t be put off if you're in the midst of a massive RPG, per se. Pac-Man World Re-Pac is the perfect side serving that you can dive into when you need a break.

If you’re waiting to find out which games will be joining the extra and premium tiers this month, that line-up is due to be unveiled on 12 February.
