The game is set mainly in the 16th century, though in-game flashbacks reach as far as back to the 12th century. The protagonist - Ezio Auditore da Firenze follows the traces of Altair - both his ancestor and the master of the Assassins. The trail leads to Constantinople, where the Templars are gathering a powerful army. The creators combined successful mechanics of the previous installments, enriching them with an ability to create bombs or with a modified system of gaining control over particular city areas. Apart from the single-player story campaign, the game offers a fully functional multiplayer mode.

Marvel's Spider-Man
September 7, 2018
Action, Beat 'em Up, Comics, Marvel Comics, Action Adventure, Sandbox, Singleplayer, Spider-Man, Superheroes, TPP, PS Plus Extra, PS Plus Premium.
An open world action-adventure game developed by Insomniac Games. The player assumes the role of the titular Spider-Man who faces the criminal underworld of New York. The gameplay is based on three pillars. The first one is exploration. The second one is completing various main and side missions. The protagonist is a superhero that can crawl and run across walls and use his web to swing on long distances. The acrobatic abilities of Spider-Man are used during Quick Time Events, special scenes with spectacular actions during which the player must press specific buttons with the right timing. The third pillar of the game is combat – during the dynamic fights the protagonist uses his fists, legs, spider web and elements of the environment – he can for example throw the latter at opponents or he can pin an opponent to a wall using his web. The game features stealth sequences as well – the player might sneak past enemies or eliminate them undetected. The title features high-quality graphics. It looks even better on PlayStation 4 Pro, where it is generated in higher resolution.

Far Cry Primal
February 23, 2016
Action, Crafting, FPP, Prehistory, PS Plus Extra, PS Plus Premium, Sandbox, Singleplayer, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
A spin-off to the first person open world action game series launched by Ubisoft in 2004. Far Cry Primal strands significantly from the previous entries in the franchise, taking us back in time to the year circa 10 thousand B.C. We play as hunter named Trakkar, whose tribe has been slaughtered and who find himself in the dangerous land of Oros, where humans are nothing more than prey for prehistoric beasts. One of the most important features of the game is survival; we explore the world while completing quests, hunting various creatures, crafting useful items and learning new skills. Unlike in the main installments in the series, our hero obviously won’t find any guns in his inventory - only primitive weapons like spears, clubs, and bows. The lack of vehicles is compensated by the possibility of riding different animals.
