The former PS5 console exclusive Ghostwire: Tokyo will be seen as the highlight for many PS Plus users, a title from Tango Gameworks. You play a ghost hunter, and in our Ghostwire Tokyo PS5 review, we awarded the experience a 6/10. “While its combat system is fun in bursts, it becomes repetitive far too quickly,” we said. The open world is jam-packed with busywork, and the story doesn’t go anywhere interesting either. Excellent PS5 DualSense controller support, haunting elements, and nice visuals aside, Ghostwire: Tokyo will have to go down as a miss.”
You likely haven’t heard of Death Note Killer Within before, and that’s because it’s a completely new game that’s launching as part of PS Plus Essential. Here’s the setup: “Death Note Killer Within is an online social deduction game for up to 10 players. Players will be split into two teams with different objectives. To win the game, players will need to figure out each other’s identities and either eliminate L who threatens Kira’s power or seize the Death Note. Enjoy a battle of wits as Kira and his followers, or as L and the investigators in the world of Death Note. As equally matched opponents, the two teams clash to control the game while hiding their true identities from each other. The Death Note is hidden among the players, leading to a thrilling game of cat and mouse until one team overpowers the other.”
As for arcade racing game Hot Wheels Unleashed 2, it proved to be a great experience at release a year ago. “Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is a highly polished, fast-paced, fun, and robust racing sequel that builds upon its predecessor in all the right ways,” we concluded in an 8/10 verdict.
