- Control Resonant (PS5/XBOX)
This action adventure RPG is the long awaited follow up to Remedy's 2019 massive success, Control. Jesse Faden (the protagonist of Control 2019) awakens her brother Dylan from a coma to thrust him into a crisis of extradimensional origin. Play as Dylan as you attempt to help the FBC (Federal Bureau of Control) stop the crisis and discover the truth of what's going on.
Fans of the previous game may note that the game is mechanically very different from its predecessor, with a more melee driven combat system that may be reminiscent of series like Devil May Cry.

4. The Blood of the Dawnwalker (PS5/XBOX)
A vampire RPG adventure that you can really bite into. Play as Coen of Laslea, an average peasant villager who becomes a Dawnwalker; a vampire by night, and a human by day. You have 30 days to save the region from vampiric tyranny, and every quest and skillpoint is going to use a chunk of that time. With an engaging story, and a combat system that's a mix of something between the Witcher and For Honor, there's plenty to keep you engaged as you fight your way through the local Vampires and vagabonds.
