Last month was quite the treat for adventure game enthusiasts, with a slew of exciting new titles making their debut. Among the standout releases were Assassin’s Creed Shadows, MLB The Show 25, Hitman World of Assassination for PS VR2, and the inventive Split Fiction. But which one truly brought something fresh to the table?
At the end of each month, PlayStation Blog invites gamers to cast their votes for the month’s best new game. It’s a fun way to celebrate recent releases and see what the community is loving. Once the polls close, the votes are tallied up and the winner is proudly announced across our social channels and the PlayStation Blog.
When it comes to voting, the criteria are really up to you. If you had to recommend just one new release to a friend, which would it be? It’s worth noting that re-released games aren’t eligible, but remakes are fair game. We’re talking about the ambitious, large-scale reimaginings like Resident Evil 4 (2023) and Final Fantasy VII Remake.
As for how the nominees are chosen, that’s handled by the PlayStation Blog editorial team. They carefully curate a list of noteworthy releases from the month, using it to populate the poll for your voting pleasure.
