The bad news? It\u2019s the beginning of the month, so rent is due. The good news? Sony just revealed the PlayStation Plus games lineup for May<\/ins><\/a>, and there are some serious standouts. The lineup includes Ghostrunner 2<\/em>, Tunic<\/em>, Destiny 2: Lightfall<\/em> and EA Sports FC 24<\/em>. Most of these games are available for both PS4 and PS5, except Ghostrunner 2<\/em> which is only for PS5 players.<\/p>\n So let\u2019s start with Ghostrunner 2<\/em>. It\u2019s a brutally difficult, yet consistently engaging<\/ins><\/a>, first-person slasher with a fast-paced traversal mechanic that recalls games like Mirror\u2019s Edge<\/em>. You will die often, our reviewer died 164 times on one level, and you are likely to love every second of it. Perishing isn\u2019t that big of a deal, as there are checkpoints just about everywhere and you can respawn instantly with the press of a button. It\u2019s also a blast, offering a \u201csatisfying gameplay loop that's hard to walk away from.\u201d<\/p>\n Tunic<\/em> is somehow both critically-acclaimed and underrated. This top-down isometric adventure is an absolute gem<\/ins><\/a>, with gameplay that brings to mind old-school Zelda adventures. By old-school, we mean really old-school. Tunic<\/em> is most similar to the very first Zelda game for the NES, as there are no objective markers, no towns filled with cute villagers and not much by way of a story. You are just plopped into the world and tasked with exploring. The puzzles are tough and the combat can be even tougher. It\u2019s nearly as polished as a Nintendo title and the protagonist is a cute fox. What\u2019s not to love?<\/p>\n EA Sports FC 24<\/em> is the latest entry in the company\u2019s flagship soccer series<\/ins><\/a>. There are more than 19,000 fully licensed players, 700 teams and 30 leagues, including the men\u2019s and women\u2019s UEFA Champions League. This is actually the first time in franchise history in which men and women can be on the pitch together. That\u2019s pretty neat. It features crossplay with Xbox Series X\/S, PC and Xbox One.<\/p>\n Destiny 2: Lightfall <\/em>is an expansion that adds grappling hooks to the game\u2019s arsenal<\/ins><\/a>. There\u2019s a new Darkness subclass called the Strand and plenty of updated perks, weapons, armor and more. It\u2019s also set in a neon metropolis, which is a nice change of pace. This was actually the first Destiny 2<\/em> expansion released after Sony bought Bungie<\/ins><\/a>.<\/p>\n All of these games will be playable on May 7. Ghostrunner 2<\/em>, Tunic<\/em> and Destiny 2: Lightfall<\/em> will be available for download until June 3, and EA Sports FC 24<\/em> until June 17. To that end, April\u2019s PS Plus games are about to hit the chopping block<\/ins><\/a>. You only have until May 6 to download Immortals of<\/em> Aveum<\/em>, Minecraft Legends<\/em> and Skul: The Hero Slayer<\/em>.<\/p>\n May includes another treat for PS Plus subscribers. The sidescrolling Metroidvania Animal Well<\/em>, the first game published by popular YouTuber Dunkey, is a day-one release on May 9<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The bad news?
