Republished on Wednesday 31st January 2018: We're bringing this review back from the archives following the announcement of February's PlayStation Plus lineup. The original text follows.
Baja: Edge of Control was a title that released last generation back in 2008. Nine years later, publisher THQ Nordic and developer 2XL Games have decided to remaster this title and dub it “HD” (because, you know, last generation games weren’t HD already). That being said, lets see how this off-road racer fares for the next-generation upgrade.
Ever wanted a co-op game to play with your significant other? Sure, there are co-op gems on the PlayStation 4, but very seldom are there local co-op games that you know for sure you could get your significant other to play with you. Fortunately, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is one such game. This quirky, unexpected indie title strikes numerous elements so well – it may just be one of the most entertaining co-op titles to hit the PS4.
The Tony Hawk series has been around for over 15 years, and in that time introduced a new genre in gaming. The fluidity of pulling off crazy street and vert tricks, the stunning soundtracks, inventive levels, and rich mechanics made it a true standout franchise. However, like most series, the franchise started to lose steam, with developer Neversoft eventually walking away from its creation. Since then, Chicago-based outfit Robomodo has tried to rejuvenate the franchise.
Have you ever wondered why there’s not a game about dusting? Ponder no more, because developer Hitbox – with the aid of publisher Capcom – has released Dustforce, a platformer built around the idea of everyone’s least favourite household chore. While the premise isn’t full-on Freddie Mercury in that one Queen video, this slick 2D platformer will see you polishing floors, walls, and ceilings while parkouring your way through levels. The big question is: does the title deliver a clean sweep, or should you leave it to collect dust?
