Which April 2025 PlayStation Plus game will you play first?
- RoboCop: Rogue City
- The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
- Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory
PlayStation Plus users can look forward to a variety of gaming experiences this month. RoboCop: Rogue City, developed by Teyon and Nacon, is a standout title that immerses players in a first-person shooter experience as the iconic Alex Murphy, tasked with saving Detroit from escalating crime. A significant update in January of last year added a New Game Plus mode, enhancing the replayability of its story-driven gameplay. Our review at launch awarded it a commendable 7/10, highlighting its faithful '80s aesthetic and engaging narrative.
For those seeking a different kind of thrill, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre by Sumo Digital and Gun Media offers an asymmetrical multiplayer experience where players can either survive or embrace the role of the Slaughter Family, including the infamous Leatherface. The game aims to evoke the terror of being pursued by a chainsaw-wielding maniac. Our initial review gave it a 6/10, noting its potential for intense, albeit technically challenging, gameplay.
Rounding out the trio, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory from Bandai Namco provides a more relaxed pace with its turn-based monster collecting gameplay. Released in 2018, this title allows players to explore a vast digital world, collect over 320 Digimon, and experience the events of the original Cyber Sleuth story from a fresh angle.
As these titles become available, it's a reminder for players to also grab the March 2025 PlayStation Plus titles before they expire on March 31. The March lineup, which included Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Sonic Colors: Ultimate, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, offered a strong selection that shouldn't be missed by subscribers or those considering a subscription.
