Sand Land (PS5, PS4)The legendary manga powerhouse Akira Toriyama is famous for his Dragon Ball work, but the mangaka also worked on several other projects during his storied career. One of those was Sand Land, a fun trek across a desolate landscape starring the Fiend Prince Beelzebub, and you can grab this video game adaptation of the beloved story this month. Like the 2000 manga it's based on, the game is all about embarking on an adventure to discover the Legendary Spring hidden in the desert, a journey fraught with peril. Fortunately, Beelzebub and his allies aren't pushovers, and they've got a customizable tank to help in their quest. Soul Hackers 2 (PS5)Set in a supernatural realm full of danger, Soul Hackers 2 is a game where powerful Summoners harness the power of devils to help prevent the end of the world. As Ringo, it's up to you to stop the apocalypse, amass an army of demons, and bond with your teammates in this stylish RPG from Atlus. Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted (PS5, PS4)A collection of classic and original minigames set in the Five Nights universe, this is the Full Time Edition of Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted that comes with extra Curse of the Dreadbear DLC. The game also includes remade scenes from classic titles in the series, and like the core franchise, it revolves around a spooky night security gig and scary encounters with killer animatronics. Battlefield 5 (PS4)While development continues on the new Battlefield game, you can return to one of the older entries in the series with Battlefield 5. Set during World War 2, the first-person shooter features an intense single-player campaign and several multiplayer modes for dozens of players to take part in. The game also introduced Firestorm after launch, a battle royale mode developed by Burnout studio Criterion. Stalker: Legends of the Zone Trilogy (PS5, PS4)Following the release of Stalker: Heart of Chornobyl last year, you can check out the classic games in the series with STALKER: Legends of the Zone Trilogy. Each game has been enhanced with new graphical features, upscaled textures, and it has been optimized for consoles. There are several graphical modes to choose from, ranging from Quality Balanced and Performance mode on PS5 to Ultra Performance on PS5 Pro. Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising (PS5, PS4)A fighting game set in the Granblue Fantasy universe, this spin-off was developed by Guilty Gear studio Arc System Works. Released in 2023, this is a sequel to 2020's Granblue Fantasy: Versus, and as you'd expect, it builds on the gameplay systems introduced in the original. What's nice about the game is that it's accessible to newcomers, as there's a simplified control scheme that'll help with pulling off stylish combos during one-on-one brawls. Humankind (PS5, PS4)We've seen several new games set in the 4X strategy genre over the last couple of years, and Humankind is another interesting entry here. Like other 4X games, you'll get to rewrite history as you ascend through the ages, establish an empire, and outsmart your rivals to become the dominant culture on the planet. Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life (PS5)Anyone looking for a cozier game to try out can grab Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. This farming sim doesn't just task you with becoming a master of agriculture, but to also find love and raise a family. Gloomhaven: Mercenaries Edition (PS5, PS4)In the mood for some dungeon-crawling? You can do just that in the appropriately dank confines of Gloomhaven, as you descend into dark locations and engage in turn-based combat in this digital adaptation of the beloved board game.
