Dead or alive, you're coming with me. If you know that quote, there's a pretty good chance you already own the best title in April's PlayStation Plus lineup. If not, and you have any love for story-driven shooters or '80s action flicks, get ready. Robocop: Rogue City puts you in the stainless steel shoes of the cyborg police officer once known as Alex Murphy. Pick up your Auto-9 weapon and dispense serious, old-school justice in the crime-ridden streets of Old Detroit.
A lot of licensed games just coast on your love for the property, but Rogue City has drawn rave reviews. I love Robocop and have been meaning to pick it up, now we get it for free. Sometimes patience pays off.
Another game that hits us right in the '80s is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Yes, I'm aware it came out in 1974. But like a lot of kids of a certain age, I don't remember actually seeing it until I was least 9 or 10, (probably on HBO when I wasn't supposed to) putting it in the '80s for me. This asymmetrical survival horror experience pits four would-be victims against iconic horror slasher Leatherface and the Slaughter family.
Developer Sumo Nottingham worked closely with Kim Henkel, one of the writers of the original film. The game's cast includes horror legend Kane Hodder as Leatherface and Edwin Neal, who portrayed the Hitchhiker in the original film, reprising his role.
And while the decade changes for this next one, the nostalgia will hit just the same for the right audience. Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Hacker's Memory finds Keisuke Amazawa wrongfully accused of a crime. He must dive into the digital realm and find the clues that will prove his innocence. Along the way, there are more than 320 Digimon to discover. All these games will be free from April 1- May 5.
Consider this a reminder to add March's games to your library if you haven't already. It's a good selection, featuring Sonic Colors, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection.
