Alan Wake 2 | PS5
What starts as a small-town murder investigation becomes a living nightmare. From the studio that brought you Control comes a psychological survival horror starring two protagonists in two very different worlds. Play as both the returning Alan Wake and new hero Saga Anderson, witnessing the nightmare unfold from two perspectives – and two realities. Help Wake to rewrite his reality as he attempts to escape the Dark Place and enter Anderson’s brilliant mind as she races to solve the case. As Anderson, explore the magnificent forests and lakes of the Pacific Northwest and meet a cast of quirky characters in the towns of Bright Falls and Watery. As Wake, survive the hostile urban nightmare known as the Dark Place. It takes more than guns to survive: Light is both the ultimate weapon and a refuge in the battle against the supernatural darkness that threatens the heroes. Fight powerful enemies in deadly close-combat encounters, making careful use of limited resources.
Goat Simulator 3 | PS4, PS5
Gather your herd and venture forth into Goat Simulator 3 – an all-new, totally realistic, sandbox farmyard experience that puts you back in the hooves of no one’s favourite female protagonist. That’s right – Pilgor is back, and this time is joined by other goats too. You can invite up to three friends in local or online co-op, create carnage as a team, or compete in mini-games and then not be friends anymore. Get ready for another round of udder mayhem. Lick, headbutt and ruin your way through a brand new open world in the biggest waste of your time since Goat Simulator!
Cocoon | PS4, PS5
From Jeppe Carlsen, the lead gameplay designer of Limbo and Inside — Cocoon is a unique take on the puzzle adventure genre, where each world exists within an orb that you can carry on your back. Wrap your head around the core mechanic of leaping between worlds—and combine, manipulate, and rearrange them to solve intricate puzzles.
Interact with alien environments and biomechanical devices left behind by an ancient civilization. Journey through unique and diverse biomes, from industrial structures to massive organic caverns, and discover how they are connected to one another. Each orb has an ability that can be unlocked, thereby turning the orb into a unique tool for you to utilize within other worlds. Use these abilities to uncover hidden pathways and objects, fire projectiles to trigger switches, and more.
