Opt for couch co-op or take the challenge online with split-screen play. You can even invite a friend to join for free using the Friend’s Pass. In this game, you’ll play as Cody and May, a couple whose lives are magically transformed into dolls. Trapped in a whimsical universe full of surprises, they face the task of mending their fractured relationship. Use special abilities that connect uniquely to each character, face a plethora of unexpected obstacles, and enjoy laugh-out-loud moments throughout. Whether you’re bobsleighing through a magical snow globe or battling gangster squirrels, this game offers a heartwarming and hilarious narrative that ties seamlessly with its engaging gameplay.
Aliens: Dark Descent | PS4, PS5
Prepare to command and conquer in Aliens: Dark Descent, a real-time strategic combat game where survival is key. As a leader of a squad of seasoned colonial marines, your mission is to halt a terrifying Xenomorph outbreak on Moon Lethe. Tactically navigate through expansive open levels, confront notorious Xenomorphs, combat rogue Weyland-Yutani operatives, and face new horrors exclusive to the Alien franchise. The stakes are high as enemies adapt to your tactics, and every decision carries weight because in this game, death is permanent.
Temtem | PS5
Live out your fantasy of becoming a Temtem tamer in a vibrant world ready for exploration. Travel across the six islands of the Airborne Archipelago, discovering new species, battling fellow tamers, and forging unforgettable friendships. Venture to Omninesia’s floating islands to capture new Temtem, or challenge tamers on Deniz’s sandy shores. Along the way, thwart the mischievous Clan Belsoto, conquer eight Dojo Leaders, and rise to become the ultimate Temtem tamer.
