gamrReview's Brent Galietti: "Many space enthusiasts view Mars as the next frontier - humanity may one day terraform and colonize the red planet. In Super Motherload, humanity has already landed on Mars and set up underground colonies but has fallen on hard times. The Solarus Corporation found a near limitless supply of minerals that could end Earth's energy crisis. But recently, all communication from Mars has dissipated. As a driller, your job is to get Mars back up and running and find out what happened. You're tasked with digging up minerals from the Martian soil, but as you dig, you start to hear recorded messages about the darkness of these Martian colonies and learn the truth of what has happened on Mars...and what you are going to do about it."
Your PS Plus games for August are Just Cause 3 and Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry.
Already have both.
Edit: somebody disagrees that I have both lol. Dummy..
SteamFirst: XGen Studios’ Super Motherload is a bit of an odd duck. Released to Steam November 13th of last year, it strikes one as an original concept that feels familiar as soon as you start playing. It seems like a combination of Dig Dug without the enemies and a bit of RPG elements thrown in. Seeing how Dig Dug is one of my favorite old school games, it’s odd that this did not strike the right chord with me.
I, CCG reviewer Wesley Wood, have never played the game Motherload, which is the predecessor to this. However, this is an arcade game so it isn't as if you are missing anything by jumping to the newer game. Super Motherload has been available on the PS4 since launch but, since I did not get a PS4 until January, I overlooked the game until now.
