PlayStation Store

On PlayStation Store this week the challenge between FIFA 22 and eFootball 2022 is renewed for the title of the best sports simulation. Of course, the comparison between the two productions this year is not like in the past, given that Konami has embraced a substantially different philosophy with a free-to-play model to be updated over time.

Among the news However, several promising and anticipated experiences also stand out from the Sony digital platform, see for example the arcade racer Hot Wheels Unleashed, with its micro-cars and stunt tracks, or the science fiction-themed survival horror Chernobylite, or the very solid strategic Phoenix Point. , available with the rich Behemoth Edition.

FIFA 22

Thanks to the next-gen HyperMotion technology, the game can in fact boast more varied and dynamic animations, which change according to the situation.

eFootball 2022

eFootball 2022, Messi prepares to shoot Here we are: after skipping an edition in order to better prepare the debut on the next generation platforms, eFootball 2022 (PS5 and PS4, free) is finally ready to offer us his innovative vision of football games. Abandoned the historical name of PES, the Konami franchise is presented in a free-to-play format that can be downloaded for free, but still immature in several respects.

As we wrote in our trial of eFootball 2022, it is probably of the price to pay for a new experience, subject to continuous updates and improvements. Net of all possible justifications, however, it must be admitted that for the moment this new chapter does not convince in terms of gameplay, physics and contents. Will the developers be able to get it back on track quickly?

Developed by the Italian team Milestone, this title puts us in command of the most iconic cars of the Mattel line, born in the distant 60s, in demanding speed races.

Catapulted into the most unusual scenarios, on tracks often equipped with special sections that include jumps, magnetized courses, loops and more, we will have to find the best trajectories and take advantage of the boost to score the overtaking necessary to cross the finish line first.
