PS Plus Essential Games for April 2025 Announced

[admin]

​

Sony has today revealed the lineup of PS5 and PS4 games heading to PS Plus Essential for the month of April 2025. As always, there are three titles on offer, all of which will be available to download from Tuesday, 1st April 2025. The games coming next month are:

• RoboCop: Rogue City (PS5) | Review
• The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (PS5, PS4) | Review
• Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory (PS4) | Review

Sony is positioning RoboCop: Rogue City as the headline PS5 game for the month of April 2025, and for good reason. While we only awarded it a 6/10 in our review, the title is a favourite among fans. "RoboCop: Rogue City does an admirable job of bringing the gritty universe of the films to life and of capturing the feeling of playing as the armoured enforcer himself," we concluded in our RoboCop: Rogue City PS5 review.

For those who like their multiplayer games, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is on offer to emulate the sort of experience Dead by Daylight provides, except with the licensed IP. We found the experience to be quite average, praising its overall gameplay but finding faults with its UI and lack of content. "Combined with the occasional visual bugs, precise positioning for interactions, clunky user interface, long lobby wait times, and lack of content, this leaves The Texas Chain Saw Massacre on the floor bleeding out."

Finally, the spin-off Hacker's Memory version of Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth will be a welcome addition for those interested in the newly announced follow-up. We awarded this one a 7/10 and said: "Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker’s Memory is an impressive take on the monster collecting Japanese RPG format. Collecting and levelling up the digimon may seem a little too simple for die hard genre enthusiasts, but the typing, elements, and memory limit all help to add extra layers of depth to the gameplay."
