With so many games available across the PlayStation Plus library, it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming with so many choices.
Recently, thePlayStation Plus Games June 2023were announced for Extra and Premium subscribers, and it includes some fantastic games: indie darlings,Rogue Legacy 2andInscryption, as well as Ubisoft’s AAA big-hitter,Far Cry 6.
However,TMNT: Shredder’s Revengeis more than just paying homage to the classic arcade games of yesteryear. For starters, the pixel art style looks wonderful in glorious HD with updated animations to boot, and the nostalgic distorted sound bites will bring all sorts of cosy fuzziness.

TMNT: Shredder’s Revengehas two main modes, traditional arcade provides a limited number of lives that challenges the player to finish the game in one sitting. Then we have the story mode which not only allows the player to accumulate extra lives and use abilities such as Radical mode which unleashes a temporary superpower to dispose of your enemies, but you can unlock a certain character upon completion that is playable for the first time.
What’s more,TMNT: Shredder’s Revengealso supports up to six players co-op, an improvement over four players from the 1989 arcade game. While you can playShredder’s Revengelocally, you can also play it online, and somehow, this game manages to capture the charm of playing an arcade game with a stranger, when arcades were a lot more common back in the day.
I’m someone that suffers from anxiety, even when playing games online. Yet, despite playing with non-communicating strangers from the other side of the world, I was instantly taken back to my childhood arcade memories when playing online co-op withShredder’s Revenge. That in itself is something truly special.
