PlayStation Plus is about to receive several new free games, and if you’re looking to complete something over a single weekend, there’s an RPG you might want to explore. As we await the release of April’s PS Plus line-up next week, we now know which games are being added to the Essential tier this month.

The official PlayStation Blog has revealed the new Essential games coming to PS Plus in April, and one of them is Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream. Unless you’re a big SOA fan, you may not have tried this one before, but now that it will soon be free with your PS Plus subscription, you can give it a chance. You can also watch the trailer below.

This PlayStation Plus RPG Is Perfect For A Weekend Binge

Although Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream has received mixed reviews and user scores, and despite some PS Plus members being disappointed by its addition in April, it’s a relatively quick multiplayer RPG that can be enjoyable. You won’t complete the game in a single sitting, but you can finish it over a weekend if you dedicate yourself.

According to HowLongToBeat, the average time for all playstyles is 20 hours. The main story takes just over 17 hours, while Main + Sides averages 21.5 hours. Completionists can finish all of Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream in 26 hours.

If you have no other plans for the weekend, you can start on a Friday afternoon and finish before Monday morning. For the main story, you’ll need less than 6 hours of gameplay each day.

Sometimes A Short RPG Is A Great Palette Cleanser

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream may not be a masterpiece, but many players have found enjoyment in it. It’s uncommon to find an RPG that you can complete without committing an entire month or more. Sometimes a shorter RPG is exactly the kind of refreshment we all need. It serves as a palette cleanser between longer games.

I admit, I haven’t played Fractured Daydream yet, but I am a fan of Sword Art Online, so I’m eager to try this one out. It’s unfortunate that the new batch of PlayStation Plus games didn’t release this week. The holiday weekend would have been the perfect time to play Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream along with these other new Essential titles. Instead, they will all be available on PS Plus starting April 7.
