The new update of the PlayStation Store, one of the last of 2020, slows down the pace compared to the debut of productions of the caliber of Cyberpunk 2077 and Dragon Quest XI S, but there are still some interesting releases.
This week we witness the arrival of Milestone's new next-gen racer, MXGP 2020, of the highly inspired action adventure Shady Part of Me and of the horror game Madness - Dear Father, without forgetting the debut of Shakedown: Hawaii on PS5. br>
The 2020 season of the MXGP and MX2 championships is faithfully represented, with all the riders, bikes and real teams, who once again compete to express a champion. In addition to the classic modes, there are also variations on the theme, as demonstrated by the new and powerful editor, the Playground and the Waypoint Mode with its customized challenges.
The contrast between dark and light represents the leitmotif of the gameplay, in which we alternate with the commands of the two characters in order to overcome obstacles and solve increasingly complex environmental puzzles, while an external voice seems to guide us in this difficult journey. The end result is an interesting and original mix, which is certainly worth experimenting.
Marcus's adventure therefore turns into a nightmare, a desperate struggle for survival in which we will have to flee and hide, having available only a torch and a lighter to cut through the darkness where necessary and try to get around the monsters around us without revealing our location.
Using the inevitable top-down view and pixel graphics art, we will therefore find ourselves facing increasingly difficult missions to conquer every area of the city, take over its commercial activities and thus build a real empire that no one, this time, can take away.
