Lovin Games Weekly – Xbox and PS announce free subscription games for April

Rory Cashin

Happy days for anyone with a PS Plus or Xbox Live Gold subscription!

Welcome back to your weekly round-up of the best new game of the week, the biggest news of the world of gaming this week, and the best deal we found this week!

Enjoy!

GAME OF THE WEEK

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut

When it was originally released in 2019, it was immediately considered to be one of the greatest games of the generation. Now, with some minor upgrades and tweaks to that formula and making it available for some of the next-gen consoles, The Final Cut of Disco Elysium is about as close to perfect as a game can get.

Taking place in a large, ruined city attempting to rebuild after a war tore it apart, you play an amnesiac detective who is attempting to piece together clues from a murder mystery he’s been assigned to. With one of the best scripts ever assigned to a video game (if not THE best), you’ll find yourself getting lost in this world with the introduction of each new character and every new potential clue.

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is available on PS5, PS4, Stadia, and PC.
