This chilling title drops you into a living nightmare, evoking the tank controls and resource scarcity of old-school survival horror like Resident Evil or Silent Hill, while incorporating Fatal Frame-style mechanics where you use specific items such as flames from lighters or matches to temporarily ward off the relentless ghostly pursuer known as the Mare.

Manairons Review: A Tiny Folklore Hero's Big PS5 Adventure

JanduSoft, the Barcelona-based indie developer and publisher (in co-production with 3Cat), brings us "Manairons" on PS5, a 3D action platformer inspired by Catalan folklore from the Pyrenees.

In this charming adventure, you play as Nai, a tiny manairΓ³ (a mischievous, bug-like creature from Pyrenean legends) who awakens after centuries trapped in the ancient "canut", a suspicious magical artifact. Freed by a timely witch, Nai's mission is to reclaim the canut and halt the chaos engulfing Vilamont, a once-peaceful village now industrialized by the charisma-free landowner LlorenΓ§. He's enslaved the manairons to fuel his smoky factories and machines, closing shops, scaring villagers into hiding, and turning the idyllic mountains into a gritty contrast of folklore and progress. Along the way, Nai encounters quirky side characters like Pere Mas, a disgruntled chicken farmer who enlists her help against LlorenΓ§'s mechanical rooster boss, weaving personal tales into the main quest to free the enslaved kin.

WiZmans World Re;Try – A Charming Tactical JRPG Revival on PS5

WiZmans World Re;Try, developed by City Connection and Lancarse (with roots in Jaleco's original 2010 Nintendo DS title), and published by Clear River Games, arrives on PS5 as a faithful HD remaster of a long-lost Japanese JRPG gem.

This tactical JRPG thrusts players into the isolated city of Wizarest ("Wizardest" in some localizations) a once-vibrant hub now cut off from the world and plagued by decay. You control Claus, a young amnesiac wizard coming of age, who discovers his adoptive mother and mentor, the brilliant alchemist Giselle, has vanished into the perilous dungeons below the city. Accompanied by three homunculus companions, artificial magical beings crafted by Giselle. Claus, himself, delves into labyrinthine dungeons to unravel the mystery, confront a dark force eroding the world, and restore Wizarest. The narrative branches based on player choices, influencing relationships with the homunculi, story outcomes, and the city's fate, adding replayability through multiple endings.
