I’m trying to find two PS+ games that relate to both Men’s Mental Health Month and Pride Month. For mental health, I’m considering titles like Heavy Rain, God of War 2018, or God of War Ragnarok. And for Pride Month, I’d love suggestions on games that feature LGBTQ+ themes or narratives. I have the premium tier of PS Plus, so I’m looking for some solid options!

If you’re into RPGs, Dragon Age: Veilguard does a decent job incorporating trans experiences through its narrative choices. It may not be perfect, but it does dive deeper than just the typical character creation screen. Just be aware that combat can start feeling repetitive after a while.
For a Pride Month game, I definitely recommend the Life is Strange series. It has strong LGBTQ+ representation and meaningful storylines that touch on identity and belonging. Also, both The Last of Us and Lost Records have elements that can resonate as well!
Celeste is another fantastic option! It tackles themes of anxiety and personal struggle beautifully, plus it includes LGBTQ+ representation. It’s challenging but incredibly rewarding.
I think Undertale is a perfect choice for both themes! It’s got great characters that really explore identity, and it’s overall a really heartfelt game. Plus, it has a mix of humor and seriousness that fits well with mental health discussions.
Wait, The Last of Us? What makes it a fit for Pride?
