PS5: The 8 Must-Watch Games in August 2022

game news PS5: The 8 Must-Watch Games in August 2022

thyme

Souls-like is very popular, and so it makes perfect sense that the formula is being taken up by so many studios around the world. For once, Thymesia is a game developed by OverBorder, a Taiwanese studio, under the release of Team17. So we have a inevitably dark adventure where we can follow the journey of Corvus, a hooded hero who is unleashed on a world where a kind of black plague is terrifyingly rampant. The slight difference is that it will be possible to use it against his environment, for example by imprinting his weapons with the aim of contaminating his opponents. A title that’s heavily inspired by Bloodborne with a hard time rendezvous, so it’s likely to be a good surprise.

Pre-order Thymesia on PS5 for €29.99

Two Point Campus

The Two Point saga is starting to have a nice backdrop in the middle of management games and the last episode, Two Point Hospital, was a real good show for it. Therefore, fans of the genre will be delighted to know the return of the saga with Two Point Campus which, as its name suggests, asks us this time To run a university by developing it to its fullest, making our students the best…and by making a profit. Beyond its well-crafted mechanics, the title published by SEGA is based on a strange and funny world full of dark or silly humor that often hits the mark. We’re sure it’s going to be a solid bet, so keep an eye out for the app you’re looking to try out this style.

Pregnancy worship

When Devolver Digital announces a new title, one should always watch it carefully, and Cult of the Lamb is certainly no exception to this tradition: it is even one of the most exciting games of the moment. This production designed by Massive Monster puts us in the shoes of a sheep rescued by a mysterious person from the slaughterhouse: As you are enlightened, you will form your sect and attract as many followers as possible, while facing the false prophets who stand in your way. WTF Stadium in particular, yes, but great atmosphere and artistic direction appeal to this roguelite and dungeon-crawler that makes a lot of noise. It’s also a lot compared to hooking up with Isaac, which obviously doesn’t bother us, let’s face it.

Rolldrum

Announced just a few months ago, RollerDrome is a brand new project from the talented Roll7 studio, based in England known for being behind the excellent OlliOlli skate games. This time around, the British are upping their paces by choosing 3D, with wrinkles still…but also with guns and slow-motion shooting. Therefore, the principle is very interesting, on paper, because we are talking about confronting enemies in arenas with a sequence of tricks and shooting to the head, all with plenty of time and in a very colorful artistic direction. The unlikely combination of Max Payne and Jet Set Radio necessarily piques our curiosity and we won’t fail to test it when it’s released, exclusively on PlayStation and PC.

Saints row

After four episodes with increasingly implausible concepts, it became difficult for the Saints Row saga to continue along the same paths, and so Vollition had to choose (moreover logically) the all-too-familiar lane for the reboot. Here comes Saints Row, the revival of the saga still similar to GTA, but this time in a brand new Las Vegas-inspired setting called Santo Ileso. For the rest, we’re on familiar ground: We have to create Our Boss thanks to a very permissive character editor and grow our gang of saints while crushing the competition. Time and time again, the adventure promises to be very disrespectful, often comical, but with one word: fun in a totally insane sandbox game.

F1 Manager 2022

The “management” simulator is very popular, and if the famous Football Manager remains, for many, a reference, we must not forget about the F1 Manager 2022 that comes to honor motorsport. That is why we find ourselves at the helm of the Formula 1 team in this advanced program developed by Frontier in partnership with the FIA: The player will have to take care of all aspects of the company, from single-seat development to factories, not forgetting about contract pilots or different budgets. Races will also be important, with the right strategy to approach in order to win the famous championship. In short, something you enjoy when you’re a fan of discipline, a huge life in support.

Soul Pirates 2

Soul Hackers 2 is a somewhat unlikely sequel as it continues the story of its predecessor Devil Summoner, released twenty-five years ago on Saturn, and then on the first PlayStation. Suffice it to say that Atlus has a real legacy here: This type of typical Japanese RPG implanted in the Megami Tensei series should please fans of the series (and as far as we can say there are a few), allowing them to find “Cyberpunk and Dangerous Japan”. In particular, we will go to the side of the Aion agents, who aim to “decode fate” in an attempt to save the world from the apocalypse. Program loaded and in turn, let’s do well to identify it.

Destroy all humans! 2 – deplores

After reproducing the first episode a few years ago, THQ Nordic is back with a reimagining of its sequel, originally released in 2006. Rest assured, the goal remains the same: we embody Crypto, an angry alien who must exterminate the human race in the Arctic. Four world. Therefore, with the help of a particularly important and exotic arsenal, our alien creature will go and play the caterpillar, even with large-scale destruction and a local co-op mode for players. A somewhat funny and real stress relief experience, which also chooses to ignore PS4 and Xbox One to better exploit the power of the new consoles.
