Sacred Symbols+, Episode 154: Ranking the PlayStation Plus Collection (Patreon)

For PlayStation 5's launch, Sony did something cool and unexpected: They gave away 20 of some of their most-acclaimed PS4 games for free to PlayStation Plus subscribers. Indeed, as long as you're playing on PS5, you can still mark-for-download and play these 20 same games right now. And they're some of the console's very best, from both the first and third party. In fact, it could be argued (as we often do on the show) that this anthology's value rivals GamePass merely on the question of quality (though certainly not quantity). With that, we thought we'd sit down and go over these 20 games, many of them iconic in their own right, ordering them from 'worst' to 'best' while trying to keep to a rather nebulous set of parameters, like said game's importance to PlayStation as a brand, or its overall quality and critical consensus. The result, we think, is an interesting conversation you're likely to enjoy a great deal. So please do.
