Developer Spiders is best known as something of a BioWare tribute studio. Its most successful game, GreedFall, is the latest in a modest line of RPGs that draw heavily upon the likes of Mass Effect and Dragon Age. But Spiders’ next game, Steelrising, is nothing like a BioWare game at all. Instead, it’s an ode to FromSoftware. Specifically, it is Bloodborne set in the French Revolution, with Yarnham’s beasts swapped out for Parisian clockwork robots. As a pitch, it sounds a little derivative (at least mechanically). But despite seemingly minimal innovations, playing Steelrising reveals something that has genuine promise.
Adam Michel: "Today, we’re happy to announce the latest, full Monthly Games lineup for PlayStation Plus. February’s selection is headlined by Square Enix’s competitive yet ultra-colorful online party shooter Foamstars, which makes its debut exclusively on PlayStation Plus. Joining it is a potent mix of skates and gunplay with the highly stylish Rollerdrome, while Steelrising brings you automaton-powered RPG action. All three will be available to PlayStation Plus members on Tuesday, February 6 until Monday, March 4. Let’s take a closer look at each game."
Rollerdrome is an amazing game. Bought it Day 1 and would really like a sequel.
ohh yeeeahhh baby always wanted to try that one.
this is a month where I will actually play there games, not just add to library for a rainy day
these puppies getting walked
It’s crap, couldn’t even get myself to complete the 45 min trial before deleting it.
So because you didn't like it, that means it's crap.
Have you ever thought for once that maybe some are good games and it's just not your type of game.
No idea why Sony didn’t Cancel foam star and invest that money in a bloodborne ps5 remaster

Are you telling me foam star will sell more and attach rate it it will be higher than a full remaster of Bloodborne?
Good to start the day with a laugh thanks
I actually want to try Foam Stars, I have low key interest in Splatoon, but it wasn't quite for me, maybe Foam Stars will be different.
Wow, another very solid month! Definitely noticeable increase in quality this year. Keep it up!
nice!! I have a tendency to spend hours scrolling through the vast catalogs of games available on my devices, looking for something to play and never choosing anything new. In doing that, i have almost bought rollerdrome like 5 different times.
This is what I use GOG for, I use that client to track what games I own on PS and PC (plus, I've manually added my PS2/3DS/Vita/PSP games on there). I just check it before I a buy a game so that I don't double up very often unless I do it intentionally.
I've very nearly bought Rollerdrome a few times. Even in the New Year sale recently. Delighted with this selection now.
Spiders and NACON have recently announced the new Steelrising Cagliostro’s Secrets release date.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "When considering its more modest goals, Steelrising should be treated as a well-intentioned stopgap between larger meals. Yet, after fairly weighing that context and Spiders' stature, I’m still thinking about what could've been improved and expanded. There's also been a rising tide of comparative titles – both in value proposition and awful names – within the Soulslike clade that might do more for you; however, its bundled strengths of strong art direction, atmosphere, and subtle design tweaks are at least worth a specifically-qualified recommendation."
I really like the guys over at Spiders.
They get better with every release, and Greedfall was pretty damn good.
The game seems great but not for me.
I always prefer the fantasy/horror style with creatues and monsters, not the robots.
But it seems really good!
Ripoff-*
Fixed it for you IGN.
I'm very interested in this game. Definitely an aesthetic and premise I've never seen in gaming. Oddly enough, it also gives steampunk vibes for me.
