A new month means new releases on a range of different services. Yesterday, the first batch ofXbox Games With Goldtitles went live and next up are the PS Now, February releases. As we did with the Games with Gold titles, we’re here to help you pick which ofthe new titlesto load up first.
WWE 2K Battlegrounds
In lieu of releasing a “proper” new2Kgame this year, the WWE went a different route.2K Battlegroundsadds an arcade spin on the classic wrestling games. The superstars are more cartoony and the action way more over the top. Sadly, it doesn’t really hit home. We scored the game a very mediocre 5.5in our official review.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III
This could be a contentious one depending on where you stand. For me, personally, theBlack Opsseries ofCall of Dutygames is the middle of the road selection. They’re solid games, with decent campaigns and some good multiplayer action, however, they never really excel. This will certainly please some though!
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number
TheHotline Miamigames are great. They’re a fun release and a great way to pass time. Expect plenty of crimes, violence and a variety of factions in this top-down GTA-like.
Darksiders Genesis
Whatever happened to the B-Tier hack ‘n’ slash games? Back in the day, they were a dime a dozen, however, slowly, as gaming tastes changed, the genre dropped off. Developers Airship Syndicate have done their best in replicating that feel withDarksiders Genesis, however, and it’s a game that we scored a 9/10.
Detroit: Become Human
I had a blast withDetroit: Become Human. It certainly won’t be everybody’s cup of tea but the game does a great job of telling a story in an interesting, dystopian world all from a unique perspective. It has a lot of high points and a smattering of lower ones but for those who like story-heavy games in which every decision is impactful —Detroit: Become Humanis for you.
Little Nightmares
After appearing as part of last months Games with Gold titles,Little Nightmaresis part of the PS Now, February lineup. The game is an indie puzzle-platformer with a strong horror vibe. It’s another one that we scored a 9/10 and is definitely with a playthrough before the sequel releases later this month.
