Hell is skateboarding, or whatever Jean-Paul Sartre said. Some PlayStation Plus subscribers can now pick up a board and grind across the underworld as a demon in the devilishly unique skateboarding game Skate Story. In addition, Sony plans to add other games to the service on Dec. 16.
PlayStation Plus is the Sony version of Xbox Game Pass, offering subscribers a large and constantly expanding library of games. PlayStation Plus has three tiers — Essential ($10 a month), Extra ($15 a month) and Premium ($18 a month) — which each give subscribers access to games. But only Extra and Premium tier subscribers can access the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog.
Here are all the games PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can access on Dec. 16.

Skate Story
Listen, the premise of this game is simple, so I'm only going to explain it once: You're a glass demon who made a deal with the devil to skate your way to the moon in order to eat it and free yourself from eternal damnation. That makes total sense, right?
That really is the plot of the game, and according to our sister site IGN, you'll encounter quirky characters, like a frog barista and a subway with legs, along the way. But underneath the trippy visuals and absurd story is a skating game that feels more like Tony Hawk than some other modern skating games. PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can play this game now.
