Last month was wild—literally battled the supernatural. I’m talking all kinds of ghostly shenanigans to escape from. Had this overwhelming sense like we were trying to outrun our own shadows. So, let’s chat about what’s fresh—a few new heavy-hitters burst onto the scene: think “Death Stranding 2: On the Beach” (still processing that title), “FBC: Firebreak”, and yeah, “Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic.” Honestly, just saying those names sends a jolt down my spine.
OK, so how’s this whole thing work, you ask? Every single end of the month, the PlayStation Blog—bless their souls—throws open this poll. It’s your chance to shout out the top game release of the month. Votes get counted, and voilà, we have a champ. They announce it on all their socials and, of course, on PlayStation.Blog. A bit democratic, if you think about it.
And then there’s the whole voting criteria thing. Listen, I’m not here to tell you what to do. Totally up to you—pick one game you’d rave about to a pal. Just one! But hey, little heads up: re-released games? Nope, they don’t cut it. Remakes? Now that’s a different story. They need to be ambitious reimaginings, like “Resident Evil 4” (2023) or “Final Fantasy VII Remake.” I mean, those are in a league of their own, right?
Now, who exactly decides what’s up for voting? The noble editorial team over at PlayStation Blog. They comb through the most buzzworthy releases and populate the poll. Kind of feels like they’ve got the keys to the kingdom, doesn’t it? Anyway—who knows— maybe next month there’ll be something even crazier. But I digress.
