Known as 'Cyberpunk 2077's' biggest fan, Angharad is a Welsh games writer who thrives in anything related to digital storytelling. If a video game explores the intricacies and horrors of womanhood, she is there.

Thanks to previous work at GAMINGbible, GameByte, The Loadout, Game Luster, Angharad has built a strong understanding of both the digital world and what fans want from it and is eager to share her thoughts and expertise with readers.

Whilst it has been known for a few months to pass without any major titles leaving the PlayStation Plus library, this November will be the exception as a whopping eleven games will be removed, and heading back to full price. Set to be removed before 17 November, one game that will no longer be free for PlayStation Plus members is a 10/10 masterpiece, at least according to reviews, and so users have just a few weeks to go to catch up on the beloved puzzle-adventure game.

However, it is the removal of Grand Theft Auto V that will be the biggest blow to members, especially as it has been a part of the PS Extra and Premium tiers since last November. However, with many games being removed after six months or a year, it is about time that the hit Rockstar was part of this massive cut, alongside Red Dead Redemption 2.

That being said, it is more of an underrated gem that is also on the chopping block, and that is The Talos Principle 2. First launched back in 2023 for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S, and serving as a sequel to, you guessed it, The Talos Principle, the puzzle-adventure game sits at a Very Positive rating on Steam to this day, as well as an impressive 8.3 User Score on Metacritic.

As the official synopsis for The Talos Principle 2 reads, "The Talos Principle 2 is a thought-provoking first-person puzzle experience that greatly expands on the first game's philosophical themes and stunning environments with increasingly mind-bending challenges. Born into a new world where biological humanity is extinct but human culture lives on in a city of robots, you find yourself swept up in a mind-bending adventure involving a mysterious megastructure hiding enormous powers.

"The more you discover, the more you will be confronted with questions about the nature of the cosmos and the purpose of civilization. The broken promise of a better tomorrow, the fear of repeating humankind's mistakes, faith in reason or renouncing humanity altogether - the choices you make and the sides you take will determine the course of events."

Now, after welcoming thousands of players during its time in the PlayStation Plus library, it is set to be removed by 17 November. However, if you are on the lookout for an adventure which will see you scratching your head due to its mind-bending puzzles, look no further than this beloved 2023 release.

In the meantime, if you are interested in which other titles will be leaving the PlayStation Plus library next month, this is the full list:

Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4)
Football Manager 26 (PS5)
GTA 5 (PS4, PS5)
The Talos Principle 2 (PS5)
