LAST MONTH ON PS PLUS

T’was the season to get your spook on… not that we need much excuse, but the odd scary game certainly helps! But as the nights closed in and things got darker, so too did the PS Plus lineup with plenty of brooding titles.

In time for Halloween was Friday The 13th: The Game, inviting players on a jog around Camp Crystal Lake as one of a number of potential survivors trying to outrun and outgun classic serial killer Jason Vorhees. This asymmetric co-op was a bloody good time. If you wanted something with a slightly more level playing field, then the second title on PS4 this month was right up your alley. Illuminating Autumn evenings with a neon glow, Laser

League was an excellent, capture-the-flag-like future sport title. We’re still very fond of it after reviewing it back in OPM #150 and giving it 8/10.

Also on PS4 (and, more importantly to some, on PS Vita too) were two more titles. 2064: Read Only Memories looked towards a cyberpunk future where a journalist had to bust open a kidnapping case. Rockbirds 2:

Evolution was a little more optimistic in its vision of the future… if a smidge bird-brained. This side-scrolling shooter could be played with up to four players, though it left us with a hankering for nuggets. The Bridge was playable on PS4, PS Vita, and PS3. The black-andwhite 2D puzzler definitely helped us work up an appetite with its fiendishly tricky logic-based conundrums. Closing out the PS4 titles was PlayLink quiz game Knowledge Is Power, which also featured in the September line up.

Lastly, on PS3, was Master Reboot, which imagined a world in which death is not the end. With your memories stored, it was all a bit Altered Carbon by way of a spooky corridor, in first person with puzzles sprinkled throughout.
