PlayStation Plus, October 2022: Hot Wheels Unleashed, Injustice 2 and SUPERHOT arrive

PlayStation Plus, October 2022

October 2022 looks like another not-so-exciting month for PlayStation Plus subscribers, whatever their level of subscription. In fact, in the catalog of the Sony service three games certainly of quality and belonging to very different genres, but at the same time old and / or distant from the perception of triple A.

Let's talk specifically about Hot Wheels Unleashed, the arcade racer developed by the Italian team Milestone and inspired by the famous collector cars produced by Mattel; Injustice 2, the latest installment in the NetherRealm Studios fighting game series, the authors of Mortal Kombat; and finally SUPERHOT, a fascinating mix between shooter and strategy that has already become a classic.

Did the readers of sportsgaming.win like the October line-up? Again, in principle, no: according to our survey, 46% of users said they were not satisfied at all and 27% unsatisfied, for a total of negative feedback equal to 73% which confirms the feeling of a slowdown by Sony regarding the actual value of the games offered.

Hot Wheels Unleashed (PS5 and PS4)

Hot Wheels Unleashed, a racing sequence The iconic cars from Mattel's collection are the protagonists of a racer developed by the Italian experts of Milestone, which brings to the screen spectacular "miniature" races in which you run within various areas of the house. In short, Hot Wheels Unleashed stands as a tie-in that makes competence its flag, involving us in different ways.

Beyond the quick stipulations, the core of the experience is represented by Hot Wheels City Rumble, a variation on the theme of the traditional career in which we will find ourselves exploring the tables of a Game of the Goose-style billboard , but with new events at each destination and the ability to try your hand at timed races, quick races and even boss fights that involve completing the challenge aiming to meet certain conditions.

The end result is a driving game different from the usual, which Hot Wheels fans will find really exciting, even more so because of the Track Builder integrated in the package, which allows you to create your own tracks from scratch and share them with the community. We talked about this and more in the Hot Wheels Unleashed review.

Injustice 2 (PS4)

Injustice 2, Batman vs Superman Set in an alternate DC universe, where Superman is crazy after the killing of Lois Lane and decided to control the world with an iron fist, establishing a totalitarian state that Batman and other heroes have opposed, Injustice 2 is the latest fighting game in the series by NetherRealm Studios, the development team behind the famous Mortal Kombat.

In this chapter a new threat looms on the horizon: the powerful and evil Brainiac, a cybernetic entity from outer space that colonizes and destroys all the planets on its own walk and that has just landed on Earth. Will Supergirl, Batman and Superman himself be able to stop his advance? The review of Injustice 2.

SUPERHOT (PS4)

SUPERHOT, a firefight Originally released in 2016, SUPERHOT has become over the years a true classic, a title in able to mix shooter and strategic mechanics in an ever so original way to catapult us into sequences that are composed one frame at a time and therefore see us plan every single action with the aim of cleaning different rooms from the presence of enemies.

The game, characterized by an absolutely minimal style, moves only when we want: the character we control is stationary, gun in hand, and when time advances, it starts to flow again, also determining the reactions of the opponents. Using a rich arsenal of weapons and an available seconds indicator, will we be able to reach the exit after taking out every single threat? SUPERHOT review.
