Tried my hand at this months offering of PS Plus games. Entwined is a fairly simple on rails game symbolising how a bird and fish are in love and try to be together. It's alright, pretty short too. Was interested in Styx, stealth games are right up my alley and I read a comment from someone saying it was as good as Dishonored. Well, they were completely wrong! Dishonored offered so many options and freedom on how to approach a mission while Styx feels so limited and just boring. You better be good at stealth too because the combat is awful. Camera locked right behind the character where you're force to parry until the guard is exposed but that's hard to do considering that the camera's so close you can't even see what the enemy is doing anyway...I'd rather get a game over when I get spotted.
But Rocket League. Now this is a genuine, lovely surprise. The concept is just soccer, but the ball is giant and the players are rocket powered cars. It's a simple concept, but executed so well that it's easy to pick up and play and have a good time with it but also difficult to really master with advanced techniques like being able to boost vertically up in the air and I love that. It's fun to try and score goals but also racing back to my own team's goal so I can defend as well. I can't sell enough just how satisfying and chaotic matches can be, I was sold straight away. Even typing this now I just want to play more of it. There's still a way to go this year and a lot of games to potentially play, but this is already going very high on my list. If you have PS Plus, make sure to get it!
