February's line-up of six PlayStation Now games are available starting from today and include a previous Call of Duty game and 2020's WWE title.

Last month, PlayStation Now subscribers were given access to three new games, but February's line-up is looking a lot meatier, as Sony announced that double that amount can be played starting from today. However, two of them already have dates for when they'll be removed from the service.

The first of them is Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, which released in 2015 to overall positive reviews. Unlike the more recent Black Ops Cold War, this game is set in the distant future, where the military has progressed to include robotic drones and cybernetically enhanced super soldiers. Aside from a campaign mode, players can enjoy co-op, the traditional Zombies mode, and competitive multiplayer.

Considering the amount of players who are growing increasingly frustrated with the current Call of Duty games' multiplayer, it'll be interesting to see if fans flock back to a previous entry. Black Ops 3 will be available on PlayStation Now until April 29th.

The other one is WWE 2K Battlegrounds, which will be available for even longer until August 2nd. After the disastrous launch of WWE 2K20, the sequel was canceled so that extra time could be spent on 2022's entry. Battlegrounds, a more cartoony, arcade-like title was made to serve as 2020's entry and, though an enjoyable enough multiplayer game, still feels like a lesser alternative and is rather barebones.

As for the remaining four games, possibly the most recognizable of the bunch is the narrative-driven Detroit: Become Human, the most recent title from Heavy Rain studio Quantic Dream (and arguably one of its better ones). Players take control of three different androids in a futuristic society and the decisions they make will impact not just these androids' lives but possibly the world itself.

Next are two top-down action games: Darksiders Genesis, the latest entry in the Darksiders series and a spin-off/prequel to the first game, and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, where players take control of 13 different characters in a story that covers events set both before and after the first game. And lastly is horror puzzle game Little Nightmares, where players must aid a little girl called Six escape an underwater vessel called the Maw, which is populated with corrupted souls eager for their next meal.

Little Nightmares 2 is set to launch later this month, so now is the perfect opportunity to experience the first game beforehand. While Six makes a return, it features a new playable character called Mono and a new creepy location called Pale City to explore.
