Sony is feeling generous these days, and has decided to throw in a little bonus to the next set of freebies. And so, here is the next line-up of PlayStation Plus free games March 2022 available for download on Tuesday, March 1.
First, on the PS4, there’s ARK: Survival Evolved, the action adventure with crafting elements, developed by Studio Wildcard. Players can select either single-player or online mode, beam down to a planet inhabited by dinosaurs, and try to survive by building bases, crafting weapons, taming dinosaurs to ride, and fighting an assortment of creatures.
Next for the PS4 is Team Sonic Racing, the next title in the Kart racing series which spun-off from the Sonic the Hedgehog games. Select from a roaster of 15 characters and race your way to the finish line while drifting, performing tricks, and collecting power-ups. Unlike other titles in the series, Team Sonic Racing focuses on cooperative gameplay as you work with your teammates to win.
And for the PS5, there’s Ghostrunner, an action platformer in a cyberpunk setting. Similar to the popular 2008 title Mirror’s Edge, players must run, jump, and grapple their way through dangerous environments while battling enemies with one-hit kills.
All three of these titles have Platinum trophies to unlock.
If played legitimately, unlocking all the trophies on ARK: Survival Evolved is the most challenging and time consuming. However, the game allows the player to input cheat codes during the offline campaign. If using these cheat codes, the Platinum for ARK: Survival Evolved is by far the easiest and less time consuming among the PlayStation Plus free games March 2022 line-up.
While Ghostrunner and be quite tricky and has a steep learning curve, the Platinum can be unlocked in less than 10 hours with enough patience and lots of trial and error.
The difficulty in obtaining the Platinum for Team Sonic Racing entirely depends on your experience with kart-racing titles. On average, expect around 25 hours of gameplay.
Lastly, as an added bonus, Sony is also giving away Ghost of Tsushima: Legends for both the PS4 and PS5. This is a standalone version of the multiplayer add-on to Ghost of Tsushima, where players select from four classes and participate in a variety of game modes including 2v2 battles, survival, and story missions.
Things were kicked-off with some gameplay of Naughty Dog‘s upcoming The Last of Us Part II. Ellie is stealthily creeping through the tall grass and hiding behind abandoned cars, while picking off the nearby baddies using a variety of weapons, crafting ammunition and pulling an arrow out of her shoulder. The graphics look stunning, and the gameplay seems more brutal than the previous installment. No release window has been announced yet.
Following a set of teasers, we got to see some gameplay of Sucker Punch Productions‘ upcoming action-adventure title, Ghost of Tsushima. Set in an open world, the game takes place in ancient Japan during the first Mongol invasion, where players can engage in one-on-one duels with their katanas, use stealth, and explore the island of Tsushima on horseback. The graphics on this one is also breathtaking, particularly the picturesque environment. Ghost of Tsushima is scheduled for release sometime next year.
Perhaps the biggest highlight of the Press Conference was gameplay for Hideo Kojima’s highly anticipated and talked-about Death Stranding, where we see the player-character modeled after Normal Reedus, wandering a desolate land while lugging scientific equipment, hiding from a strange phantom that leaves handprints in the mud, and using a device to reveal invisible enemies to sneak past. The trailer appears both incredible and ambiguous at the same time. Still no release window set for Death Stranding.
Things ended with gameplay for Insomniac Games‘ Spider-Man, set for release on September 7, 2018. The game will be set in an open-world of New York City, where Spidey not only battles enemies with his fists and web-action, but can use environmental combat, stealth, and even craft his own gadgets.
