Each and every month, PlayStation Plus subscribers get access to several new games that are theirs to keep for as long as they're signed up for the service, which retails for $59.99 per year. January saw Sony giving subscribers three games: Maneater, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and GreedFall. This month, players will get three more: Destruction AllStars, Control: Ultimate Edition and Concrete Genie.
Here's what you need to know about Destruction AllStars, Control: Ultimate Edition and Concrete Genie.
Destruction AllStars
Developed by Lucid Games, Destruction AllStars is a multiplayer game that sees players take control of one of 16 unique vehicles, which they use to try and best their fellow drivers on the road to becoming the Global Destruction Federation Champion.
Like with several previous titles, Destruction AllStars' release on PS Plus will also be its debut more generally. As such, there are no reviews available for the game at the time of writing. Previously, Sony had a lot of success releasing Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout in the same way, so expect a lot of players to pick up Destruction AllStars in February.
Control: Ultimate Edition
Developed by Remedy Entertainment, Control: Ultimate Edition is a third-person action shooter that sees players take on the role of Jesse Faden, the current director of the Federal Bureau of Control, an organization dedicated to studying Altered World Events. In the game, Faden heads to a location called the Oldest House in search of Dylan, her missing brother. Soon, though, she finds herself in a battle against an entity called Hiss, which seeks to corrupt reality. The Ultimate Edition includes both The Foundation and AWE expansions for Control.
The PlayStation 4 version of Control holds an 82 on Metacritic and won several high-profile awards following its release. In general, Control's story, concept and gameplay were praised, but a number of players experienced technical issues.
Concrete Genie
Developed by Pixelopus, Concrete Genie sees players take on the role of Ash, a young boy in the polluted town of Denska. After bullies steal Ash's notebook, he embarks on a request to recover his drawings. Along the way, Ash finds a magical paintbrush that allows him to alter his world. The action-adventure title's gameplay generally relies on the DualShock 4's motion controls.
Concrete Genie currently holds a 75 on Metacritic. In general, players praised Concrete Genie's story and visuals. However, some criticized the game's combat battle system and replay value.
How Did PS Plus Subscribers Make Out in February?
February is a pretty solid month for PS Plus subscribers. Control is considered by many to be one of the best games of the previous console generation, so those who haven't tried that one out definitely should. Concrete Genie and Destruction AllStars, for their part, have unique premises that are sure to entertain players for at least a few hours.
Maneater, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and GreedFall will be available until Feb. 1. Destruction AllStars will be available for free until April 5, while Control: Ultimate Edition and Concrete Genie are available until March 1.
