Sony has unveiled the selection of games it will be dolloping into the laps of PlayStation Plus subscribers in March – and it’s a strong showing, despite being the first month that Vita and PlayStation 3 titles aren’t included.
First out of the gate is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, the 2016 spruce-up of Infinity Ward’s revered 2007 shooter. As Digital Foundry explained at launch, the word ‘remastered’ does the experience something of a disservice, with developer Raven Software’s work on the game much closer to a a fully-fledged remake.
“While its shooting might feel creaky,” said Eurogamer contributor Nathan Ditum, “Modern Warfare’s ability to inject meaningful moments into its action still feels remarkable. There’s a sense of wonderful craft here, of minute and imaginative design, from the small bits of chatter that constantly flow during missions, to the grandstanding set pieces that define Modern Warfare. The standout moments are so numerous it’s hard to really call them standout.”
