PlayStation Plus Free Games August 2021

July 28, 2021August 11, 2021 Editorial Team

Got your vaccinations, but it’s too hot to go outside? Well, Sony has the answer with another set of freebies to play. And so, here is the line-up of PlayStation Plus free games August 2021 which are available for download on Tuesday, August 3.

First, there’s Hunter’s Arena: Legends, a brand-new game for both the PS4 and PS5. An online battle royal which takes place in ancient Asia, players can select from a roaster of 17 characters and fight to the death using a combination of martial arts and swords, in either a free-for-all or teams of three.

Next, for the PS4, there’s Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. First released in late 2019, the game is the third installment in the Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare spin-off series of Plants vs. Zombies, in which players side with either the plants or zombies in this third-person shooter.

Last, for the PS4, there’s Tennis World Tour 2, first released last year September. Mixing sims with real pros, players can create their own character in career mode, or face off against online players in multiplayer.

All three titles for the PlayStation Plus free games August 2021 have Platinum trophies to unlock.

The Platinum for Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville may be the easiest to obtain, though also the most time consuming. Since you will need to grind 20 characters to Master level, expect well over 100 hours for the Platinum.

The Platinum for Tennis World Tour 2 is of average difficulty, though of course this depends on your experience with tennis games. There are some online trophies to unlock, which can be boosted if you’re having a difficult time.

Since Hunter’s Arena: Legends is a brand new title, we unfortunately have no idea as of yet the difficulty or time required in obtaining the Platinum.

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is a third-person shooter and a sequel to the 2014 game, which in turn was inspired by the Plants vs. Zombies tower defense game on the smartphone. Similar to the previous installment, players select to be either Plants or Zombies and partake in co-operative or competitive multiplayer missions. Garden Warfare 2 adds eight new Plants and Zombie classes, a new Herbal Assault mode where Zombies must defend bases from Plants, a Backyard Battleground mode where players can explore in a hub world, and the ability to play all modes either in solo or split-screen multiplayer.

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 received positive reviews with an average score of 82%, praised for its overall fun, and being a vast improvement over the previous installment.

The game is significantly easier than the previous installment, but significantly longer as well. Like the first game, Garden Warfare 2 is online, though can be played solo. There are a few multiplayer trophies, which can either be gotten by boosting, or in split-screen if you have a second controller. Overall, the Platinum is not difficult for any average player, though will require much time, specifically for vanquishing 5000 zombies and 5000 plants.

Expect around 60-70 hours, depending on skills.

The game doesn't require much of a roadmap, as you're free to work on whichever trophies you like in any order. However, if you're in need of some direction, we recommend starting with the Backyard Battleground. As you go through both the Plant and Zombie missions, remember to complete quests posted on the quest board, specifically 10 Epic Quests which you'll need for the Really Epic trophy. Going through the Backyard Battleground will also unlock a number of trophies automatically.

Once that's done, it's basically a matter of targeting and unlocking any trophies you're still missing at this point. Remember to check out the Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you need and their requirements.

There are three multiplayer trophies to unlock. The Playdate trophy for either visiting a friend's Backyard Battleground or having a friend visit yours, the Who Can You Trust trophy for vanquishing a friend in their Background Battleground, and the Prance Vs Samba trophy making a gesture after vanquishing a player. These three trophies can easily be unlocked in split-screen with a second controller. If you don't have a second controller, then visit one of the boosting forums under our Links tab.

Most likely the last two trophies you'll need is Rinsed Em for vanquishing 5000 zombies, and Gramma Z Says for vanquishing 5000 plants. A good place to grind this is in the center of the battleground. After you raise the flag and complete the boss wave, you'll be bombarded by an endless number of enemies. This can be repeated for both the Plants and Zombies.

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare Trophy Guide

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ** The game requires both skills and time, but still doable for any average gamer in unlocking the Platinum. The game is online only.

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is an online third-person shooter, based on the tower defense game Plants vs. Zombies. Players control either different plant or zombie classes, battling in various competitive and co-operative modes. Characters level-up and earn upgrades by completing specific challenges unique to each class.

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare received positive reviews, with an average score of 78%, praised for its amount of customization and overall fun, though criticized for its lack of different modes.

While there are a couple trophies that are a bit challenging, such as completing Garden Ops on Crazy Difficulty mode, or time consuming such as reaching Rank 50, the platinum is overall pretty average in terms of skills and time required. The game is entirely online, and a number of kill-related trophies can possibly be boosted to save some time.

Expect 30-40 hours of gameplay for the Platinum.

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

For the most part, you'll be switching back and forth between playing Garden Ops and Competitive. We recommend starting off by playing Garden Ops on normal, which will not only give you a feel for the game, but also allow you to experiment with each class.

Once that's done, head on into Competitive and start focusing on upgrading your classes. In this process, you can also start unlocking the kill-related trophies, each related to different plants and zombies' abilities. These can be boosted if you have a friend. Just find an occupied area and start killing each other. Also, remember that leveling up requires completing challenges with different classes, rather than simply getting kills.

Once your classes have reached Rank 10, you can head back into Garden Ops if you like, and finish off those trophies. The upgrades you've earned in Competitive will help you a lot, particularly when trying to complete Crazy Difficulty mode.

Finally, head back into Competitive and clean up on any trophies you're still missing.
