LIES OF P | PS5, PS4
According to developers Neowiz and Round8 Studio Lies of P is a clever and atmospheric soulslike that “takes the story of Pinocchio, turns it on its head, and sets it against the darkly elegant backdrop of the Belle Epoque era.” When Lies of P was originally released in 2023 it was to wide critical acclaim praising the game’s visuals, sound design, and performance.
The story centers on the puppet protagonist navigating the fictional city of Krat, ravaged by a petrification disease epidemic and a puppet rebellion. Played from a third-person perspective, Lies of P sees the player wield melee weapons and a mechanical arm with diverse tools to battle hostile puppets, factions, and disease-disfigured citizens.
DAY Z | PS4
This multiplayer online survival game, developed and published by Bohemia Interactive, challenges players to develop their own strategy to avoid death by the local zombie population. 60 players in a hardcore environment with no checkpoints or saves means that when you die, you’ll have to start over. Compete with other survivors for limited resources. Team up with strangers, or choose to play as a lone wolf to avoid betrayal. The choice is yours.
MY HERO ONE’S JUSTICE 2 | PS4
An over the top sequel to My Hero One’s Justice, this 2020 fighting game from Bandai Namco Entertainment is based on the manga series My Hero Academia by Kōhei Horikoshi. (The game is known as My Hero Academia: One’s Justice 2 in Japan.)
