96-Rated PS4 Game Now on PS5 and Free for Some

As a seasoned gamer who has weathered countless storms of gaming releases, from the golden age of arcades to the digital revolution, I must say that the year 2020 was a veritable cornucopia of video game goodness. The pandemic may have kept us indoors, but it certainly didn’t dampen our collective thirst for virtual adventures.


One popular PS4 game from 2020 has made its way to PS5, and is even free for certain PS5 owners. The game that we’re referring to debuted in the same year as a number of other highly anticipated titles such as The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Hades, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, DOOM Eternal, Half-Life: Alyx, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Fall Guys, Persona 5 Royal, Crusader Kings III, Demon’s Souls, Spelunky 2, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and Cyberpunk 2077. Given the abundance of quality games released that year, coupled with the global pandemic that had everyone staying at home, more people than ever were gaming in 2020.

In 2020, with numerous new releases and live service games capturing everyone’s focus, many outstanding games slipped under the radar or were overlooked entirely. One such game is Risk of Rain 2, a sequel to the 2013 title Risk of Rain, developed by Hopoo Games in collaboration with Gearbox Software. This game might have flown under the public eye due to the buzz surrounding other games.

After its launch, the third-person roguelite shooter game garnered widespread success by selling millions of copies and scoring an 85 on Metacritic. On Steam alone, it boasts a massive 190,824 user reviews, with a whopping 96% being highly favorable. This impressive feedback translates to the game receiving the highest possible rating, “Overwhelmingly Positive,” on this popular gaming platform.

If you own a PlayStation 4 and missed out on the game, here’s great news! You now have a chance to rectify that situation as the game has been upgraded for PlayStation 5. Interestingly, if you’ve already purchased it for PS4, you’ll receive the PS5 version at no additional cost. However, for those who haven’t bought it yet, the standard price of $24.99 applies.

Regarding the PS5 version, it’s not just a straightforward transfer; it’s been enhanced in several ways. To put it another way, you can enjoy split-screen local multiplayer, smooth 60 frames per second gameplay, and stunning 4K resolution. Additionally, there are progressive trophies and numerous features tailored to the PS5 controller, the DualSense.

“The game offers more than a dozen intricately designed areas, filled with tough enemies and colossal bosses determined to end your journey. Battle through them all to reach the final boss and either escape or keep playing to test your survival skills. The game has an innovative system where both you and your opponents become progressively stronger as you play.”
