DC Universe Online
An exciting new direction for MMOs that's plenty of fun already and should only get better with a few patches under its utility belt.

DC Universe Online Review
DC Universe Online is the best super-hero MMO out there and well worth the free download on PS4.

DC Universe Online lacks the ‘pow’ of the properties that it’s inspired by, but it’s a decent enough MMO with some solid ideas and a strong following. As a free download, it’s hard not to recommend – even if you only intend to give it a try. Just remember that being a superhero isn’t all about tight clothing and Christian Bale-esque angry acting, as it takes a lot of hard work to keep the grunts of Gotham in line – and that’s exactly how you’ll spend most of your time in Sony Online Entertainment’s caped crusade.
60%DC Universe Online Review
DC Universe Online is one of the older MMOs on the market, so while it’s benefitted from quite a few updates and DLC packs, it still looks and plays like a game on PS3. If you can look past the dated visuals and repetitive gameplay, there’s a decent amount of content to be accessed as a free player. The customisation options are deep, although the need for a premium membership does gate some of these options off. However, with a solid server, a high population of players and enough content to keep you flying around Metropolis, Gotham and beyond, this is further proof that practically any genre can work on Nintendo’s latest hardware.
