Last month brought a wave of excitement with a handful of new adventure games hitting the market. Amid the fresh faces, a question lingers: which one truly stands out as a new beginning? The lineup included major entries like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, MLB The Show 25, Hitman World of Assassination (for PS VR2), and Split Fiction.
Curious about how the favorite is decided? At the close of each month, PlayStation Blog hosts a poll, inviting players to cast their votes for the standout game released during that period. Once voting wraps up, the results are compiled, and the winner is revealed through our social channels and on PlayStation.Blog.
Wondering about the criteria for casting your vote? That’s entirely in your hands! Consider which new release you’d be most enthusiastic to recommend to a friend. Keep in mind, re-released games aren’t eligible, but remakes are fair game. We view remakes as extensive, ambitious endeavors like the Resident Evil 4 (2023) and Final Fantasy VII Remake.
So, how do we choose the nominees? The editorial team at PlayStation Blog carefully curates a list of the standout releases for the month and uses this roster to form the basis of the poll.
