From the very first moments of Dark Atlas: Infernum, a sense of disorientation settles in. You assume the role of Natalia Asensio, Grand Master of an ancient esoteric order, now drugged, trapped in a crumbling basement, and thrust into a spiralling descent of memory, ritual and collapsing reality. Framed within the larger Radiata Saga trans-universe, the game embraces psychological survival horror rather than straightforward action. The premise evokes a haunting inner-journey: stop the apocalypse while you’re not even sure who you are. The developer-publisher pairing of Night Council Studio and Selecta Play sets accordingly a tone of ambition – but the results are mixed based on the PS5 version we played.

Pigeon Simulator sits squarely in the realm of mischievous, low-stakes mayhem: you are a government pigeon tasked with containing supernatural oddities across a stylised New Squawk City. The premise sells itself on absurdity and the game obliges by leaning fully into the bird-agent conceit with goofy tools, target quotas, and a brisk mission template that give it an identity that’s immediately clear and consistently playful. The narrative framing is intentionally thin; it exists to justify the antics rather than to support a dramatic arc, which keeps the tone light but leaves players seeking any kind of proper storytelling wanting more.

Developed by Everstone Studio and published by NetEase Games, Where Winds Meet on PlayStation 5 offers a sweeping open-world action-RPG rooted in Wuxia tradition. Having first encountered the game at Gamescom two years ago – where its graceful traversal and eastern-flavoured setting immediately stood out – we approached the final PS5 version with high hopes and found much of those early impressions borne out.

When a game sets out to combine anime aesthetics with psychological horror, the results can often lean too far into either fan service or fright. High School Dirty Secrets, developed by Mitsuki Game Studio and published by JanduSoft, manages to walk that fine line with a surprising amount of poise. Set within the eerie confines of a Japanese school at night, it places players in the shoes of Kasuga, a student who wakes up to find herself trapped in familiar yet unsettling surroundings. What begins as a simple search for an exit slowly unravels into a supernatural mystery about memory, guilt, and the dangers lurking behind the school’s polished exterior.
