Exciting news for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers as they are being treated to two new time-limited trials for high-profile games. First up, Baldur's Gate 3 is offering a two-hour trial, allowing players to dive into its deep, tactical RPG combat and expansive storytelling. Recognized as a pinnacle of CRPGs, Baldur’s Gate 3 promises an engaging experience, although with the vastness of the game, two hours will barely scratch the surface.

On a different note, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum also rolls out a one-hour trial exclusively for PlayStation Plus Premium members. Despite the game's underwhelming reception and criticism for its gameplay and narrative, the trial gives players enough time to form their own opinions on the stealth-based adventure. Comparatively, the game's main quest can be completed in about 13 hours, but the trial should give a good first impression of what to expect.

These contrasting offerings highlight the value PlayStation Plus Premium provides gamers, giving a glimpse into a much-lauded title like Baldur’s Gate 3, as well as the opportunity to try out Gollum, despite its mixed reviews. Whether you're looking for a rich, fantasy RPG or a stealth-based journey through Middle-earth, these trials could be just the thing to add to your gaming agenda.
