Last month was quite a thrill for adventure game enthusiasts, with a bunch of exciting new titles making their debut. Among these fresh releases were some standout names like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, MLB The Show 25, Hitman World of Assassination for PS VR2, and the intriguing Split Fiction.
So how does the voting process work, you ask? At the end of each month, the PlayStation Blog sets up a poll inviting you to cast your vote for the game you adored the most from the latest releases. After all the votes are in, the results are compiled and shared with everyone via our social media platforms and the PlayStation Blog.
Curious about what criteria should guide your vote? Well, that’s completely up to you! Think about which new release from the past month you’d eagerly recommend to a friend. Just keep in mind that re-released games are out of the running—but, excitingly, remakes are fair game. When we talk about remakes, we’re referring to major, substantial reworkings of games, like the impressive overhaul seen in Resident Evil 4 (2023) and Final Fantasy VII Remake.
Wondering how the nominees are chosen? That’s where the PlayStation Blog’s editorial team steps in. They curate a list of the month’s standout releases, which then forms the basis of the poll you get to vote on.
