Last month brought an exciting flurry of adventure games to the forefront. Among the new offerings, which one truly stood out? Some of the major releases worth mentioning were Assassin’s Creed Shadows, MLB The Show 25, Hitman World of Assassination for PS VR2, and Split Fiction.
Wondering how this all comes together? Well, at the end of each month, the PlayStation Blog hosts a poll allowing gamers like you to cast your vote for the best new game of the month. Once the voting wraps up, we’ll add up the results and share the winner across our social media platforms and right on PlayStation.Blog.
But what about the criteria for voting? That’s entirely in your hands! Consider this: if you had to recommend just one game from the month’s releases to a friend, which would it be? It’s worth noting, however, that while remakes can enter the race, re-releases can’t. We define remakes as significant, large-scale overhauls like Resident Evil 4 (2023) or the Final Fantasy VII Remake.
So, how do we decide on the nominees? The editorial team at PlayStation Blog steps in to compile a shortlist of that month’s standout releases, which then make it into the poll for you to vote on.
