PlayStation Plus adds surprise hit RoboCop: Rogue City in April

PlayStation Blog just went live with news on the trio of games being doled out next month to those with an active PlayStation Plus subscription.

RoboCop: Rogue City, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory will up for download starting next Tuesday, April 1 (no fooling). RoboCop in particular is only on PlayStation 5, while The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Digimon Story also have PlayStation 4 versions.

While the asymmetrical multiplayer of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre also looks like a lot of fun, the main draw here is definitely RoboCop: Rogue City. The first-person shooter starts with an action-heavy sequence that would be at home in any of the classic dystopian sci-fi films on which it’s based, but soon expands into a semi-open world adventure full of side quests and impeccable voice acting by RoboCop himself, Peter Weller. Don’t skip this one, especially if you’re already a fan of the RoboCop franchise’s kitschy charm.

The only two things I know about Digimon come from the show’s English theme song — it stands for “digital monsters” and apparently they’re “the champions” — but Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory is supposed to be pretty decent.

If you missed out on last month’s PlayStation Plus games, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Sonic Colors: Ultimate, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection will be available until March 31.
