Sony is closing out the year by offering Playstation Plus subscribers a chance to download five games this December, although they are not exactly holiday themed.
While one stands out for obvious reasons, they all have a similar theme: Surviving some sort of apocalyptic event or
Slay Demons, Save Humanity, Repeat
The games are Lego Horizon Adventures, Killing Floor 3, The Outlast Trials, Synduality Echo of Ada and Neon White.
Here is what you need to know about each game:
LEGO Horizon Adventures: Your character is charged with saving Earth from an ancient digital demon and a gang of sun worshipers who want to eliminate shade and keep all those sweet rays for themselves (tale as old as time, right?).
The game includes multiple heroes and game options plus a couch co-op option. This is also the only game that sounds close to family friendly this month, for what that is worth.
Killing Floor 3: A first-person action shooter, this game allows up to six players to team up against waves of bioengineered enemies across a variety of maps.
You control representatives of a group bred to turn back the threat with a collection of weapons and gadgets that allow for lots of customization.
The Outlast Trials: Up to four people can play online as a character who was abducted and trapped inside an evil corporation’s facility and forced to try to earn release by completing trials and challenges that involve avoiding enemies and trying to run away.
The evil corporation provides tools to increase stealth capabilities, create opportunities to run and slow down enemies.
Synduality Echo of Ada: More than 200 years in the future, a poisonous rain has wiped out most of humanity and created deformed creates that hunt the survivors.
That led humans to build underground settlements, but they need a rare resource known as AO Crystals to survive. That means your character “must collaborate with your artificial intelligence partner to face xenomorphic creatures known as Enders and survive the hazards on the surface.”
Neon White: Not set in the future, this game is in a higher place. Yes, Neon White is a first-person action game set in Heaven. There you are charged with exterminating demons.
If that doesn’t sound like enough fun, the ultimate price is the chance to reside permanently in Heaven. To win, characters collect Soul Cards to create shortcuts and unlock unique abilities.
