This month’s PlayStation Plus games should appeal to two groups of players: those who love challenging “Souls-like” games and those who are passionate about football. If you enjoy either genre, or both, you’re in luck!
A few years after the PlayStation 4 launched, JRPGs began to see a resurgence. While not every new game achieved its grandest ambitions, there was a clear return of creativity and enthusiasm for the genre.
The most memorable role-playing games have always excelled at drawing players completely into their worlds, no matter the technology. Older games like those on the Super Nintendo used simple graphics and amazing music to achieve this. PlayStation 1 games captivated audiences with stories that felt like watching a movie. And today’s massive open-world games create such immersive environments that it’s easy to lose track of time. While the way games look and play has evolved, that feeling of total immersion remains constant.
Despite the recent releases, there’s still plenty of time for new games to come out this year. We can look forward to titles like the third-person shooter Gears of War: E-Day, and the first-person shooter Clockwork Revolution, among others.
As we said in our review, this game is a truly original RPG – it takes all the best parts of the first game and improves on them significantly.
It definitely feels like the era of quick, self-contained sports games is over. Now, most sports titles are built to be long-term commitments, constantly encouraging players to keep playing and spending money. And in that shift, something valuable has been lost.
Okay, so the new Riven Tides update picks up right where the Flashpoint story left off. It’s seriously adding a ton of mystery and a bunch of new quests to the maps I already know. Basically, it’s my job to keep exploring and uncover all the secrets that are still hidden – and trust me, there are a lot of them!
This update doesn’t just focus on the beach. It also includes new quests that continue a story arc from the last update.
It’s become much harder for charities to get funding worldwide, especially with changes at organizations like USAID and increasing global instability. Because of this, more and more charities are looking to the video game world for income and to raise awareness. This has made a competitive fundraising landscape even more crowded, joining existing initiatives like GamesAid, SpecialEffect, Games Done Quick, Yogscast’s Jingle Jam, and Humble Bundle.
A new report suggests that games like Ghost of Yotei, Saros, and the upcoming Wolverine from Insomniac will only be available on PlayStation 5 and won’t be released on PC. The online game Marathon is reportedly the only exception to this. Sony hasn’t commented on whether this information is correct. The report also noted that Sony’s plans can change, so it’s unclear if the information is accurate.
