PlayStation Plus Free Games November 2022

Editorial Team

Happy Halloween! Sony is participating in the spooky festivities by releasing another set of freebies which do not actually have anything to do with Halloween – but hey, free games are free games, right? And so, here is their line-up for PlayStation Plus Free Games November 2022 available for download on Tuesday, November 1.

First, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Nioh 2, Team Ninja’s 2020 sequel to their popular new franchise. Create your own playable character, and battle yokai spirits in this action RPG set in medieval Japan.

Next, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Heavenly Bodies by Australian developer 2pt Interactive. This 2D puzzle platformer has you playing as an astronaut, exploring the zero-gravity environment of space while performing such duties as repairing space stations or mining for minerals.

Lastly, for the PS4, there’s the LEGO Harry Potter Collection which is actually two games in one, combining both Years 1-4 and Years 4-7. In this adventure platformer of the LEGO series, join Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they explore Hogwarts, solve puzzles, and collect LEGO pieces while following the story of the films.

Not only do all three entries for the PlayStation Plus free games November 2022 line-up have Platinum trophies to unlock, but since the LEGO Harry Potter Collection is actually two games in one, this means a total of four Platinums can be had.

Among these, Heavenly Bodies is the quickest and easiest Platinum to collect, requiring only around 5 hours of gameplay, if following a guide or walkthrough.

Both Years 1-4 and Years 5-7 in the LEGO Harry Potter Collection are fairly easy Platinums, requiring more time than skill, with roughly 25 hours of gameplay required for each.

While Nioh 2 has a sharp difficulty curve, the Platinum is arguably easier than its predecessor. Though expect anywhere between 70-80 hours of gameplay, depending on your skills.

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 PS4

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is a third-person adventure platformer in the LEGO video game franchise, and based on the first four films in the Harry Potter series. The game was released on the PS3 in 2010, and ported onto the PS4 in October 2016. Players explore, solve puzzles, collect LEGO pieces, and cast unlockable spells as well as make potions. A split-screen two-player mode is included, as well as an online multiplayer mode.

Following the storyline of the first four Harry Potter films, the player-character visits Hogwarts for the first time, seeks the Philosopher's Stone, uncovers the truth of the Chamber of Secrets, avoids dementors in the Prisoner of Azkaban, and partakes in challenges in the Goblet of Fire.

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 received positive reviews, with an average score of 80%, praised for the new editions to the game and overall fun, but criticized for a lack of originality in comparison to previous titles in the LEGO franchise.

As you would expect from a game in the LEGO franchise, this title is a bit time consuming but easy to platinum. Two playthroughs are required, the second of which you will need to follow a guide to find all the collectibles, plus some mopping-up in the free roam.

Expect roughly around 25 hours to complete.

NOTE: The Trophies on the PS4 version have a separate list from those on the PS3.

First, you can simply play the game from beginning to end, without worrying about unlocking any trophies besides the story-based ones. During this first playthrough, there are no collectibles to be found, so just enjoy the game and its story.

Once that's finished, you can start replaying missions. Here is where you'll need one of the collectible guides in our Links page. There are 4 golden bricks for each level, plus 3 characters. You will also need to find students in peril, and house crests.

Then, you can collect the collectibles in free roam, specifically Hogwarts and Diagon Alley. This includes more gold bricks, characters, and students in peril.

Finally, you can focus on mopping-up any trophies you still need to grind for, such as scaring 20 people in ghost form for the Boo trophy, freezing 20 people for the Chilled Out trophy, or any kill-related trophies.
