PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers are in for a thrill this April. Sony is adding a chilling title to its free game lineup: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. This game brings the iconic 1974 horror film to life, offering a unique asymmetrical multiplayer experience.
Experience the Terror:
Developed by Sumo Digital, the game lets players step into the film’s terrifying world. You can choose to be a member of the murderous Slaughter family, hunting down victims, or a survivor, desperately trying to escape. Critics praise the game’s authentic atmosphere, tense gameplay, and faithful recreation of the movie’s dread. While challenging for newcomers, it offers a gripping experience for horror fans.
A Horror Legacy:
The game draws directly from Tobe Hooper’s groundbreaking film, a classic of independent horror. Though marketed as based on true events, the story is largely fictional, though inspired by serial killer Ed Gein. The film’s impact on the horror genre is undeniable, popularizing slasher tropes like power tool weapons and masked killers.
Don’t Miss Out:
PlayStation Plus Extra members can grab The Texas Chain Saw Massacre for free, alongside RoboCop: Rogue City and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory, from April 1st to May 5th. It’s a prime opportunity for horror enthusiasts to dive into a classic cinematic nightmare, now playable.
