PlayStation 5
The PlayStation 5 (PS5) is a home video game console developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Announced in 2019 as the successor to the PlayStation 4, the PS5 was released on November 12, 2020 in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, North America, Singapore, and South Korea, and November 19, 2020 in the rest of the world.
This is a well-done and loving bundle, then, but the games themselves are ancient and demand a very specific mindset if you plan to extract any actual entertainment value from them.
All in all, Master Detective Archives: Rain Code Plus delivers a fun mystery-filled visual novel experience, perfect for anyone who is a fan of Danganronpa or similar titles.
Wonderful Remaster of One of the Best Adventure Games of All Time.
Episode Aigis is one for the super fans. Its worthwhile story beats are rare and buried beneath a lot of all-too-familiar dungeon crawling, and it's undeniably expensive in terms of asking price.
At the end of the day, we’re left asking, ‘Who is this for?’ Children don’t care about Battlestar Galactica and The Thing, and adults won’t love the boring, simplistic gameplay loop.
Wild Bastards is good, but it didn’t quite hit as hard as we’d hoped. That said, the studio's fantastic art direction and writing continue to shine through, enough to make this a title worth looking at.
With gorgeous pixel graphics, weapon builds to learn, and enemy designs that continually delight, plus some excellent maps to explore and uncover, this is a fantastic little collection that should please any Metroidvania fan.
Gundam Breaker 4 is a return to what the series does best. It doubles down on its core gameplay loop, offering hours upon hours of fast-paced grinding, topped off with impressively deep customization and build options.
It isn't offering much you haven't seen before in the genre, but Monster Jam Showdown is a really solid racer and by far the best the series has been in a long time.

White Day 2: The Flower That Tells Lies (PS5) - A Complex Horror Marred by Technical Issues
The aesthetic evokes a PS2 style, which is welcome as it leaves a lot to the imagination, but the English voice acting is subpar. Fortunately, the Korean dub makes up for its shortcomings.
The Devil’s Playhouse Remastered is handily able to retain its charm, all the while looking the best it ever has.

The Mortuary Assistant (PS5) - Prep Bodies and Banish Demons in This Terrific Horror Title
Not since P.T. has PlayStation seen such an effective single location horror experience. With its simple setup, looping story, and inventive scares, Mortuary Assistant is borderline essential for genre fans.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Isekai Chronicles (PS5) - A Decent But Downright Repetitive Action RPG
If you're looking for a decent, but not overly demanding action RPG, you could do a lot worse than That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Isekai Chronicles.
The story’s ridiculous, but it’s not to be taken seriously, and it’s the kind of thing you can play with friends just to experience all of the silly outcomes. We were howling with laughter when we attempted to tape up one of the girl’s ripped dresses.
Perhaps High Impact Games included sluggish advancement due to PSP's "come out and play" portability, but it can sap your motivation to return to Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters for multiple playthroughs.
Pepper Grinder's look is also really sprightly (pun intended): its pixel art is simple and well-executed, with occasionally characterful animations, and the whole thing's backed by a funky soundtrack.
Super Stardust Portable has some solid, addictive twin-stick shooting gameplay that can be a joy for a couple of hours.
