If you're a PlayStation 5 player, you have probably noticed the all-new PlayStation Plus tiers the company rolled out in recent years. The highest tier gets you get access to exclusive discounts, a selection of free current-gen games and the biggest selling point: the Classics Catalog. So considering it's over twice the price of the Essential tier, is it worth the extra cost?
PlayStation Plus is a monthly subscription service for PlayStation users that offers access to online multiplayer and exclusive discounts on a wide selection of games on the PlayStation Store. With an exclusive selection of free games every month, the subscription is a worthwhile investment for any avid PlayStation fan as some major titles began appearing on the service for only $60 for an entire year. However, with the release of the PlayStation 5 and the bloated budgets of many of Sony's first-party titles nowadays, the company looked for ways to monetize their platform even more.
This is where subscription tiers came in, which included the new Extra and Premium tiers which offer different benefits from the original plan. While the basic plan remained the same, the Extra tier now offers an expanded catalog of PS4 and 5 games for a slightly higher $14.99 monthly or $134.99 annually. Meanwhile, the expensive Premium tier, at $18 a month or $160 annually, grants you access to a wide selection of classic PlayStation 1, 2 and 3 games via the Classics Catalog.
If you're a fan of old-school or licensed PlayStation games, the Classics Catalog is likely to make you giddy with the number of choices. The selection comes with its share of drawbacks that keep it from really shining, though, like lackluster ports and a heavy reliance on streaming. I mainly picked up the subscription to play the original Sly Cooper games, but I was impressed with the vast selection of classic titles like God of War, Infamous and even Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. My excitement quickly turned to mild disappointment, however, as the big, fat "Stream" button appeared underneath many of the titles and I realized that I couldn't download any of those games to my console.
I decided to trudge ahead anyway, so I browsed the catalog and found what I was looking for, The Sly Collection for the PlayStation 3. This was disappointing, as that version is known for having audio issues and a lack of polish, but in terms of streaming quality, after getting through on level in Thievius Racoonus, I was initially impressed. The controls were responsive and the visuals, while dated, looked as they were supposed to. I played all night and it wasn't until the next day when I tried to play while my whole

is a bit of a misnomer. It certainly ups the visuals from the original 2020 release of, but it also provides a fair amount of new content. The most significant is No Return, a roguelike game mode, but it also includes three Lost Levels, galleries of concept art, new skins for characters and weapons, a developer commentary track for the main game, and a few more odds and ends. Developer commentary piques interest, and its implementation in the campaign is middling, but the Lost Levels, which also include it, are a revelation.
