Laser League (PEGI-7) is the big-hitter family game here. It's surprisingly new for a PS Plus game (often they've been out for quite a while). It's a team sport from the year 2150; two teams try to control nodes that create deadly lasers across the arena. It takes place on a single screen with 1-4 players locally, 2-6 players online. Locally, you can play vs. your mates or against them - you can add AI team mates to make up the two teams in whatever combination you like. Sadly, though, you can't get four mates together to make a team in your living room and then take that team online...
You have different classes to choose from, such as Blade, Thief and Shock. They have different skills and builds, for instance the Shock class generates a bubble of energy that temporarily incapacitates any opposition member within it. When you activate a node a wall of light is projected that's the same colour as your squad. Your team can pass through it, but any member of the opposition passing through is downed until they can be revived by a teammate. When everyone's down you score a point. There are three rounds to decide the match. It's fast-paced stuff; it's simple to play (the only controls are the stick to move and R1 to pull off your special skill) but it's certainly difficult to master.
In a world when things like Fortnite and Overwatch are so popular, this could be a fun game to play as a family! You're trying to take out your enemy, playing co-op, but it's not a terrible killing game. Brilliant!
