Deckline, developed by Kreidpix and published by Dolores Entertainment S.L. on PS5, is an atmospheric war-horror card game that transforms the classic Eastern European tabletop game Durak into a tense, immersive experience set against the grim backdrop of 1990s conflict.

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 manairó (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 Llorenç. 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 Llorenç's mechanical rooster boss, weaving personal tales into the main quest to free the enslaved kin.
