It’s that time of the month again; As we prepare to enter another month, PlayStation Plus is starting to cycle through old games and bring in some new faces.
Usually, PlayStation Plus only produces a few smaller titles each month; however, May seems to be a bit different. Instead of just a few indie games leaving our screens, Sony is removing 50 games: 31 from the Extra and Premium tiers and 19 titles from the PlayStation Plus Collection offering, which, unfortunately, is closing permanently.
Great titles leaving us include Marvel’s Spiderman, resident EvilAnd NBA 2K 2 playgrounds. While it’s sad to see these great games unfold, it’s even more tragic that the PlayStation Plus collection is dying, but rest assured you can still download the games before May 9th.
Some of these downloadable titles include, but are not limited to, transmitted by blood, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, Until dawn, Detroit: Become Humanand finally, inFamous: second son. While you can rest assured that some of them are available in Extra and Premium tiers, nothing lasts forever, so downloading them can be a good security hedge.
not my son
Reading the list of games that won’t be released in May 2023, I was surprised to see infamous second son among them. I hadn’t played this game in nearly a decade, but it immediately established itself as one of the titles I would miss the most.
I’m not embarrassed to say that after discovering this, I rushed to my PS5 download this fantastic action-adventure title for my own comfort of mind. And while you might not need to do the same, I think this game is worth keeping.
Infamous second son was one of the first times I saw the potential for a crime comic book game. I loved every second of fighting on the streets of Seattle disguised as supposed bio-terrorist Delsin Rowe.
The combat mechanics were smooth, smart, and really cool. Couple that with a likable main character and a surprisingly meaningful and emotional story, and I was hooked from the start. The multiple endings and Karma system also meant I could replay it to my little heart’s content; It goes without saying, inFamos second son raised the bar for action-adventure games from that point on.
Walked so they could run
It was only when I saw inFamos second son And Marvel’s Spiderman that I realized how similar these two action-adventure games are. While the protagonists are decidedly different, traversing the city of their choice using their quirky bio-powers exudes an air of familiarity.
While I can’t dismiss the lovable benefactor that is Peter Parker, I can say that finally having a protagonist who approached their newfound powers in a relatable way was 100 times nicer than this whole shtick” with great power”.
Living the extraordinary, action-packed life of Delsin Rowe was amazing from start to finish. Although I’m glad to see Peter back in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2I can’t help but wish I had the opportunity to ride Smoke Dash through Seattle one more time.
