June’s looking pretty good if you’re subscribed to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium. There’s something for everyone, and some of these titles range from entertaining to must-play. However, there’s a staggered schedule to consider this time around, with Sony looking to switch things up from the usual practice of just dropping all of the month’s games at once.

It kicks off with Sonic X Shadow Generations already available. It’s an excellent platformer which sees the titular hedgehog take on Black Doom in a trip through his own past, which we found quite enjoyable. Final Fantasy 16 is next on the list, and we’ve made our thoughts on that one pretty clear when it first came out – decide for yourself when it drops on June 16th. We’re also getting Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Life is Strange: Double Exposure on June 23 for the UK, US, and Japan regions on June 23.

Finally, Black Desert, Blades of Fire, and Farming Simulator 25 are rounding out the rest of the category’s additions, and they’re dropping on June 30. If you’re a Premium subscriber, you’ve also got the cult classic PS2 rhythm title Gitaroo Man to look forward to on June 16 with a global release on the service.

15 Hardest PS2 Games of All Time

Ravi Sinha — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 09:12:00 +0000

When talking about difficult games these days, the conversation often defaults to titles like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Bloodborne, Nioh or even Spelunky. It’s easy to forget just how frustrating older titles could be, especially in the PlayStation 2 era. Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the hardest PS2 titles and what made them such a slog.

Shinobi

Nioh’s “masocore” description actually describes Sega’s Shinobi way better. While it starts out relatively fine, things quickly spiral into the deepest depths of hell. Are you constantly killing enemies? If not, you’ll die from the cursed sword which is slowly draining your health. Died from the insane platforming challenges? Have fun restarting the entire level because there are no checkpoints in between. The bosses are similarly torturous. You can unlock Joe Musashi from the original Shinobi, who doesn’t suffer from constantly health loss and has unlimited shurikens that deal more damage, but only after making significant progress.

What do you get when two of the greatest rhythm and music game designers ever team up?

A rhythm action adventure game starring a rabbit in feudal Japan. Project Rap Rabbit is officially real and comes from PaRappa the Rapper and Vib-Ribbon creator Masaya Matsuura alongside Gitaroo Man and Osu! Tatake! Ouendan creator Keiichi Yano. Studios NanaOh-Sha and iNis are essentially banding together to make this game.

Along with an official website, there’s a teaser everyone can view below. There’s not much to it but the art-style feels instantly familiar to any fan of the above games. Its platforms and release period are still up in the air but more information should arrive in the coming months.

What are your thoughts on the game’s art-style or rapping rabbits in general? Let us know in the comments below. Who knows – there could be more information at E3 2017 regarding Project Rap Rabbit.
