I’m sure I’m not the only who thinks this, but the Playstation Plus offerings sometimes leave a lot to be desired. Every now and then they’ll drop a banger of a month like March giving us Dragon Age Veilguard. April seems to be no exception as the PS5 offerings (One game doubles up) are excellent choices.
ROBOCOP IS FREE AND NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON
Robocop: Rogue City is one of those games that has absolutely lit up the group chat for the crew. Shaun and Dwayne have been raving about it and my patience has, for a second consecutive month, paid off. I loved the first movie because it’s exactly the type of absurd I think is missing in action movies now. From what I’ve been told, the game triples down on that level of wackiness and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

If you’re not familiar with the Robocop franchise, the quick version is a cop gets blasted to Reese’s Pieces and what’s left is turned into a justice dispensing, tank of a robot that is literally just his lower lip, chin and metal. It is incredible, horrifying and hilarious all at the same time. Shaun tells me that you can punch someone so hard in the head that it explodes. I honestly didn’t need to be told anything else past that.
revving up the chainsaw on ps5 (and ps4)
Next up, we have The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. An asynchronous survival horror game based around the movie of the same name, this one is a PS5/PS4 offering. Four players attempt to escape three players operating as the family of cannibals in the movie and the game’s events take place shortly before the original movie’s. This is a game I’ve watched people play and there are some really tense moments that can come out of it.
It’s more than worth a look if you’re a fan of the films or if you love Dead By Daylight. I know that we’ll likely get some games rolling and see who gets out. We’ll somehow have to fit that in between the numerous games we’ve all committed to playing together, but it’ll happen. Fortunately, we all have enough reasons to go to our respective Playstations.
Blast from my past, digimon has inserted itself back into my life
There was a point in my life where I watched more Digimon than Pokemon. It never translated to video games though. It seems that the old series has decided to come back into my life with Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory. In a month of games that you can take fairly quick bites out of, throwing an RPG out there is a pretty solid choice and I can’t wait to give it a shot and reconnect with some of the characters I unintentionally pushed to the back of my brain.
I’ll be firing up the old PS5 as soon as these are available and getting my feet wet. The Playstation Plus offerings are on a good 2 month streak, I’m hoping that continues into the next month. Although Dwayne would say it’s been three months, but we’ll let him stand on that one.
