PlayStation Store: Knockout City and Rust

PlayStation Store

Knockout City and Rust are undoubtedly the highlights of this week on PlayStation Store: this is the new sports arcade produced by Electronic Arts, which seems to be very promising, and the console version of the famous survival by Facepunch Studios.

Among the other releases we also point out Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Dry Twice, the latest adventure by Larry Laffer, protagonist of a literally historical franchise born in 1987, but also the next-gen version of Manifold Gadern and the survival horror in roguelike style Outbreak: Endless Nighmares.

Knockout City

Knockout City, a game phase. Available for free for the first ten days, in order to convince even skeptics of the quality of the new arcade sports experience developed by Velan Studios, Knockout City (PS5 and PS4, € 19.99) stages spectacular and frenetic dodgeball matches in which two teams must face each other in the arena to determine who is the strongest.

We are therefore talking about a competitive multiplayer for eight players in which we will be able to select our character from a varied roster of different athletes, each with characteristics and peculiar skills, to then take the field and take possession of the ball, coordinate the actions with the team and use the power of our shots to knock out the opponents.

Rust

Rust, wild nature and our character trying to survive. After the success of the PC version, Rust (PS4, 49.99 euros) finally debuts also on consoles, bringing with it that load of atmosphere, tension, adrenaline action and survival mechanics that have made it a product different from the others. Catapulted into a large open world together with many other players, we will have to satisfy the primary needs of our character and try to keep him alive for as long as possible.

We will be able to relate to others by forging alliances or seeking the fight, gather resources and build useful tools to face the pitfalls of this wild scenario or to obtain additional items, die and return to the map with greater awareness of what we have to do and how to do it. All in the context of a progression that will lead us to experience many different situations and their inevitable consequences.

Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Dry Twice

Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Dry Twice, dear old Larry in one of the new game locations. Larry Laffer's itchy adventures return with Leisure Suit Larry-Wet Dreams Dry Twice (PS4, 44.99 euros), once again interrupting the protagonist's dream of love and forcing him to explore the mysterious archipelago of Kalau'a to find the of him beloved Faith. An undertaking that once again will involve solving a large number of puzzles!

Struggling with over fifty different locations, all hand-drawn, we will find ourselves interacting with old and new characters, beautiful girls, secrets from discover, twists and a ton of double entenders that will also make this experience steeped in the humor typical of a historical franchise, created by Sierra in the late 1980s.

More games to come

Outbreak: Endless Nightmares, a blinding firefight. Outbreak: Endless Nightmares (PS5 and PS4, € 19.99) tries to introduce some interesting innovations in the survival horror genre, in this case roguelike mechanics that add to the experience the ability to surprise every new game thanks to the procedural elements. Trapped in a structure with hordes of zombies, we will have to do our best to survive the horror!

Manifold Garden (PS5, € 17.99) makes its debut this week on PlayStation 5, with a original gameplay that plays with geometry and gravity to change perspective and make us see the world from a different point of view. Our task? Move between huge architectural structures and solve puzzles in order to bring vegetation back to life and give new life to an abandoned world.

The Promotion of the Week

Outriders, a spectacular combat sequence. Outriders is the protagonist of the Promotion of the Week: the compelling shooter developed by People Can Fly, capable of totaling 3.5 million unique players in the first month, can be yours on PS5 or PS4 for 52.49 euros instead of 69.99, for a saving of 25%.

Once again this is a great opportunity to recover a title that did not thrill everyone at first, but which will not fail to grow and improve over time thanks to the timely support from the authors, determined to consolidate this new intellectual property with lots of new content and stories.

The game includes a cooperative mode for three participants which is the best way to tackle the campaign, set on the planet Enoch, in the middle of a war between the human colonizers and the dangerous creatures that inhabit this mysterious world.

Awaken us after a long cryogenic sleep and overwhelmed by an energy that gives us superhuman powers ni, we will have to make the best use of our skills to restore peace between the warring factions, as part of an experience that is immediately engaging and fun.
