New PS5 & PS4 Games This Week (16th-22nd February)
Aerial_Knights Dropshot (17th February - PS5):
Imagine being thrown out of a plane into a chaotic, high-octane world where dragons, traps, and enemies await. This fast-paced action shooter promises adrenaline-fueled gameplay, but here’s the kicker: can you land in one piece while looking cool? It’s a wild ride that blends style with survival.
Avowed (17th February - PS5):
From the creators of the Pillars of Eternity franchise comes a first-person fantasy RPG set in the enchanting world of Eora. But here’s where it gets controversial: will Avowed live up to the hype, or will it fall short of Obsidian Entertainment’s award-winning legacy? Only time will tell.
Calamity Angels: Special Delivery (17th February - PS5, PS4):
Lead a quirky crew of delivery carriers through treacherous terrain, battling monsters and rival teams in this charming RPG. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about delivering packages—it’s about proving you’re the best in the Orkotris Region. A lighthearted adventure with surprising depth.
Under the Island (17th February - PS5, PS4):
Step into a ‘90s-inspired 2D action-adventure as Nia, a hero tasked with saving her home from destruction. With clever puzzles, fierce monsters, and a world brimming with mystery, this game is a nostalgic trip. But here’s the question: can it capture the essence of classic ‘90s gaming while feeling fresh?
KLETKA (18th February - PS5, PS4):
Descend into the Gigastructure, where your survival depends on feeding a living, hungry elevator. Yes, you read that right. This unique blend of horror and strategy challenges you to balance fuel and flesh to stay alive. Controversial take: Is this concept genius or just plain bizarre? You decide.
Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown (18th February - PS5):
Take command of the iconic starship Voyager in this story-driven survival strategy game. Manage resources, make tough decisions, and navigate the unknown. But here’s where it gets controversial: can a game truly capture the spirit of Star Trek, or will it feel like just another space sim?
Death Howl (19th February - PS5):

With over 30 enemy types, 160 cards, and 25+ hours of gameplay, this is a deep dive into the Spirit World. And this is the part most people miss: the side quests and boss battles are as grim as they are enthralling.
Showgunners (19th February - PS5, PS4):
In a dystopian future, corporations rule, and a brutal reality show is the ultimate entertainment. Play as Scarlett Martillo, a contestant seeking revenge in dangerous urban arenas. Controversial take: Does this game glorify violence, or does it critique the dark side of entertainment? Let’s discuss.
