Mortal Kombat X

For many verse the chapter of the turning point on the technical and stylistic front, Mortal Kombat X marks the return of classic Kombattenti such as Sub-Zero, Johnny Cage and Mileena but also various new entries, new mechanics for interaction with scenarios, a not very long Story mode but engaging and extra content such as the Tower of Challenges, also available in a variant based on dynamic stipulations.

PGA Tour 2K21

PGA Tour 2K21, one of the athletes grappling with a course The 2K Games golf simulation debuts on PlayStation Plus with the latest edition, PGA Tour 2K21. The game can count on the talent of HB Studios, the development team that had distinguished itself with the The Golf Club series and which was given the opportunity to try their hand at an officially licensed production, enriched therefore by a large number of athletes and real settings.

The result is a title with solid and well-balanced gameplay, equipped with a rather multifaceted swing system and above all with many options for customization, including a powerful editor that allows you to design your own from scratch golf course by shaping land, water and rocks on which to place the various elements, with the ability to share your creation with other players online.

October’s free PlayStation Plus games go live today. PS Plus subscribers can download one PS5 title and two PS4 titles that are backward compatible on PS5.

The October lineup leaked a few days before the official announcement. The PS5 offering for October is the 50v50 WWII first-person shooter Hell Let Loose which has gotten very positive reviews on PC. I’m excited to fire this one up.

The other two titles for October 2021 are less exciting, unless you’re a diehard golf fan or never got around to playing 2015’s Mortal Kombat X. That game, along with PGA Tour 2K21 are October’s other free games.

All told, not the worst month ever thanks to Hell Let Loose, but not a super exciting month, either. Not great, not terrible, just okay. Something tells me October’s Xbox Game Pass titles will be a bit more inspired . . . .
