While PlayStation Plus subscribers scrutinize the selection of new games every month, some titles slip under the radar despite their potential. This is precisely the case this time, with a dense, nervous action-RPG game perfectly tailored for fans of spectacular third-person combat.
Available at no additional cost to Extra and Premium subscribers, this game offers an adrenaline-filled experience, solo or cooperative, in a world of sand and legends. “In solo or in co-op, discover Reign of Sand, the ultimate version of Atlas Fallen. Ride the sands of a timeless land and defeat legendary monsters in spectacular Action-RPG battles, thanks to devastating powers. Master the sand to create formidable weapons and harvest the essence of your enemies to personalize your play style. Open a new era for humanity in a narrative campaign playable solo or in co-op with a friend. Break your chains. Unleash the storm!”
A demanding yet rewarding combat system for challenge seekers
At first glance, the game doesn’t look like much: it didn’t benefit from a resounding launch, nor a massive marketing campaign. Yet it contains a complexity that appeals to curious players.
Some opinions shared online show that the title has created a small community of fans. “It’s not the best game I’ve ever played, but it’s still a lot of fun and you don’t want it to end.”
And if it takes a little time to get used to the gameplay, the investment is worth it. “The combat system is a bit clunky at first, but once you get the hang of it, unlock the right powers, and find your playstyle, it becomes really fun. The story is great and the graphics, as you said, are sometimes breathtaking. I highly recommend it.”
A muscular alternative to God of War to occupy your January sessions
This game checks several boxes that PlayStation subscribers are looking for: brutal action, playstyle customization, boss fights, and even a co-op mode. It’s not yet another lazy open-world, but a real action RPG that puts you in the heart of danger from the first minutes.
Players lacking God of War-style sensations should find a solid alternative, with the added bonus of a progression system based on the collection of essence and the creation of weapons from sand, original and well-integrated mechanics.
Why it would be a shame to miss out on this free RPG on PS Plus
In the crowd of titles added each month to PlayStation Plus, it is not uncommon to skip games that nevertheless deserve our attention. This one is one of those discreet nuggets, far from the media noise, but capable of providing truly good hours of play.
It is free for subscribers, playable alone or in pairs, and it offers a unique universe and intense combat. It might not be your game of the year, but it might just be your best January surprise.
