PlayStation Plus subscribers urged to check out 'awesome' underrated free game

PlayStation Plus users can play an “awesome” game that is massively underrated by the gaming community, yet it has overwhelmingly positive reviews from everyone who plays it.

As with many hidden gems, you need to be aware of its existence before you can ever hope to experience all it has to offer. However, if you don’t know someone with the knowledge to point you in the right direction, you’re destined to forever miss out on the fun.

Speaking of retro fun, do you remember the Fable trailer?

Prodeus is a first-person shooter that brings the energy of retro games but within a neat contemporary package; described as a “boomer shooter” by fans, it’s a fast-paced “quality” title designed for “FPS veterans”.

Fans who’ve known about Prodeus since its release are “glad” it’s “finally” getting noticed for the incredible game it is. “I've been loving Prodeus as well, such a badass game. It's right up my alley [...] Just a perfect game to finish the year on,” said LtDangle0.

As we previously mentioned, this game is available for free via PS Plus, proving that while the service hasn’t been great lately, it still has some tricks up its sleeves to delight its users. Of course, if you don’t own a PS, you can always play via Steam instead, though this will cost you £19.99. For the Xbox gamers out there, we’ve not forgotten you, and are delighted to inform you that you can play this game for free thanks to Game Pass.

Fans of “DOOM 2, Duke Nukem 3D and Hexen: Beyond Heretic” are going to love Prodeus. The OP praising the game so highly said, “The gore explodes, the soundtrack is rad and most of all the weapons feel meaty on a modern controller. They did a great job giving the guns that "kick" feeling. I'm more than impressed with it so far. If you're a person in their late 20's or older and played games like this as a kid I'm pretty confident you're gonna have a good time for sure.”

Play Prodeus now on PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass, or Steam (for a fee).
