El Coco for PS5, developed and published by Recotechnology S.L., delivers a haunting descent into a dreamlike abyss through a protagonist named Ky, a fragile lost soul navigating The Uncertain, a twisted limbo of forgotten memories and festering fears. This 3D action roguelike casts players in a nightmare-fueled struggle against mythical horrors drawn from folklore, blending folklore-inspired dread with relentless combat in a genre that thrives on repeated plunges into procedural peril.
The Axis Unseen, developed by Just Purkey Games and published by Dark Product for PS5, marks the solo debut of Nate Purkeypile, a veteran who spent years at Bethesda Game Studios shaping iconic worlds in titles like Fallout 3, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and Starfield.

A first-person action packed adventure blending tense predator-prey dynamics with supernatural discovery.
Schildmaid MX, developed by HitP Studio and published by Eastasiasoft, brings its innovative bullet-hell twist to PS5 after a successful PC debut. Originally launching on itch.io in late 2021 for Windows, macOS, and Linux, followed by a major 2.0 update on Steam in March 2023 that added new modes, replays, ship palettes, and refinements, the game has built a dedicated following among shoot 'em up enthusiasts for its fresh mechanics and polished execution.
Developed and published by Kimmo Factor, Sektori channels the spirit of classic arcade twin-stick shooters while pushing players toward a profound flow state. The game masterfully uses its high-octane action to strip away distractions, guiding you to a "zero point" of pure instinctual play where reflexes and strategy merge seamlessly amid the chaos.
At its core, Sektori is a neon-drenched twin-stick shooter where you pilot a nimble ship through procedurally remixed arenas, blasting hordes of geometric foes, dodging bullet patterns, and conquering evolving bosses across five worlds. Every run blends handcrafted waves with randomization for fresh challenges.
R-Type Delta: HD Boosted for PS5, developed by Irem Software Engineering and published by City Connection and Clear River Games, revitalizes a standout entry in the iconic shoot 'em up series. The original R-Type Delta launched on PlayStation in late 1998 as Irem's bold pivot to 3D polygonal graphics while preserving the series' punishing 2D side-scrolling action. Inspired by contemporaries like RayStorm, it was crafted from scratch to push the console's limits, earning acclaim for its atmospheric design and replayability despite its steep difficulty curve.
