The September PlayStation Plus selection is now available to subscribers.Sony added four games at once: Sniper Elite: Resistance, MLB The Show 26, Wobbly Life and Chained Echoes.You can pick them up at the library until October 5th.

The set turned out to be uneven, but varied.There is stealth, a sports simulator, a cooperative sandbox and a compact role-playing game.The main thing is not to try to play everything at once.

Sniper Elite: Resistance is the largest project in the collection

Resistance continues the Sniper Elite 5 formula and takes the action to occupied France.The player gets large levels, stealth, long-range shots and the usual X-ray hit system.

The campaign is allowed to take place in co-op.Axis Invasion is also back, where another person invades your mission as an enemy sniper.There is a competitive mode for 16 participants and Survival for four players.

The weak point of the game is caution.Resistance does not try to radically change the series and in some places resembles a large independent set of new cards.If Sniper Elite 5 is already boring, there may not be enough fresh ideas.For a first acquaintance, this is, on the contrary, a convenient entry point.

MLB The Show 26 is a good game for a narrow audience

The new MLB The Show expands on the Road to the Show career mode and adds college teams.Diamond Dynasty is once again built around assembling a roster of baseball players from different eras.Subscribers also receive a separate starter pack with cards and equipment.

For baseball fans, this is an expensive and relevant game with no additional purchase required.But for the majority of the Russian audience the barrier to entry will remain high.The rules, pace of matches and the structure of the season require an interest in the sport itself.

Wobbly Life is better launched by a company

Wobbly Life is an open sandbox with deliberately awkward physics.You can complete tasks, look for secrets, buy houses, ride vehicles and be distracted by mini-games.Co-op play for four people online or on the same screen is supported.

When alone, the jokes quickly become repetitive.The company turns awkward management into a major asset because a simple trip or carrying an object always ends in a minor disaster.This is the best family option in the selection.

Chained Echoes - the main reason not to miss September

Chained Echoes looks like an RPG from the 16-bit era, but is designed more modernly.There are no random battles and no need to spend hours leveling up on the same opponents.The battles are step-by-step, and the Overdrive system forces you to monitor the pace and alternate actions.

The world combines classic fantasy, mecha suits and the political conflict of three kingdoms.The story is not equally strong everywhere, but the game respects time and constantly changes the conditions of the journey.It is the easiest to recommend, regardless of familiarity with the genre.

What to put first

Chained Echoes is a good place to start if you want a single-player game with a complete story.Sniper Elite: Resistance is suitable for quiet stealth or co-op.Wobbly Life is best reserved for an evening with friends or family.

MLB The Show 26 makes sense to download if you have a real interest in baseball.But it’s worth adding all four games to your library: after the end of the distribution, they will remain linked to your account and will be available with an active subscription.
