If it doesn’t meet my exceedingly high standards, it’s on your head.

I have both nostalgia and an absurd level of fanboy-ism working in my favor. You're on your own.

Seriously though, I think it's a fantastic game regardless of how much you have invested in the original. Doubly so when it's "free". We talked about it for a few pages here.

I just looked up some review videos and there is obviously a lot of 360º motion, and depth of field fighting, moving forward and back, not just left to right) etc.

What I saw initially looked very much like an Injustice game on crack (only side to side movement).

FWIW I love both Injustice games. Probably one of my favorite games on console (and one of the few where I can actually play better using a controller)

The easiest way to nab these titles is through the PS5 itself, as the console’s dashboard has a baked-in PS Plus portal. Just click a few buttons, and the game you want will pop into your digital library. In the event you don’t have a PS5 on which you can actually do that, you can claim your games through a browser.

- First, go to Sony’s landing page for monthly PS Plus games.
- Click “find out more” for the game you want, which will take you to its store page.
- If you’re signed into the store with the same PlayStation account that’s signed up for PS Plus, the price tag should be stricken out. Instead of a “Buy” button, you should instead see an “Add to Library” icon. Click on that.
