Well Sony\u2019s PlayStation 5 has finally been revealed and we\u2019ve all had a chance to ooh and ahh, and while it\u2019s great to finally know what it looks like, for me (like most things in life), it\u2019s all about the video games. We got a sneak peek of some of what PlayStation has in store for us video game wise and let me tell you I am siked. Of course not everyone saw this as a good thing, some were angry at the lack of screen time the actual console got in favour of video game trailers. But this is actually a really savvy move on Sony\u2019s part, as it goes a long way towards contextualising the PS5 in the minds of the consumer. \u00a0But like I said, I loved it, seeing all of the upcoming games has me hyped beyond belief, I\u2019d love to gush about) all of the video games Sony showed us, but obviously we can\u2019t fit them all in. So let\u2019s just cover the 5 Most Intriguing Games Revealed For PS5.\"PS5<\/a><\/p>\n

Goodbye Volcano High<\/em><\/h2>\n

Do you know what I loved most about Sony\u2019s \u201cFuture of Gaming\u201d event? How wonderfully diverse all of the games felt. We got to see action games, platformers, horrors and the wonderfully intriguing \u201cnarrative adventure game\u201d Goodbye Volcano High. We don\u2019t know much about it other than its set in a world of anthropomorphic dinosaurs and revolves around a high school band living out their final year as high school seniors. I\u2019ll admit it\u2019s not a game I would normally be clambering for, but the art style is fascinating and the music was mesmerising, Goodbye Volcano High is one I will be keeping a close eye on.\"Goodbye<\/a><\/p>\n

Kena: Bridge of Spirits<\/em><\/h2>\n

Another newcomer to the video game scene \u201cKena: Bridge of Spirits\u201d is a beautifully charming action-adventure game, think Pixar meets Pikmin. Kena: Bridge of Spirits immediately jumped out at me because of its aesthetic, it is colourful and cute but avoids being overly saccharine. As for the gameplay all we know so far is that Players will be teaming up with little spirit companions called the Rot, and as they grow their abilities evolve creating new ways to manipulate the environment. While not a ground-breaking concept the unique artistic design and fast paced combat lend Kena: Bridge of Spirits an identity all its own, while avoiding becoming merely a Pikmin\/Overlord knock off.\"kena<\/a><\/p>\n

Odd World: Soulstorm<\/em><\/h2>\n

I am a huge fan of the Odd World series, thanks to a cool uncle and less than vigilant parents I was able to play (and complete) Abe\u2019s Oddysee forever cementing my love of fart based humour. So when I saw those deformed digits dance across my screen you best believe I let out a tiny squeal. Soulstorm will be to Abe\u2019s Exoddus, what \u201cNew \u2018n\u2019 Tasty\u201d was to Abe\u2019s Oddysee, with a few changes. Such as a new crafting system and a hub area that will allow players to access new levels and areas. \u00a0Let\u2019s just hope that the addition of a crafting system isn\u2019t the introduction of bullshit microtransactions, don\u2019t break my heart \u201cOddworld Inhabitants\u201d.\"Oddworld<\/a><\/p>\n

Horizon 2: Forbidden West<\/em><\/h2>\n

Seeing Aloy ride across our screens atop a mechanical steed filled my heart with joy as it means that we will be returning to the fantastical world of Horizon. That\u2019s right, Aloy\u2019s story will continue as she battles prehistoric robotic behemoths in an attempt to save her world from emollition. Given that Horizon Zero Dawn was both a critical and commercial smash it\u2019s no surprise that a sequel would be in the works, but I don\u2019t think any of us expected to see it so soon. We don\u2019t have much more than a reveal trailer and certainly no fixed release date so all we can do is wait patiently, but if it\u2019s anything like its predecessor it is deserving of hype.\"Horizon<\/a><\/p>\n

Demon Souls: Remake<\/em><\/h2>\n

I was late to the Souls party, Dark Souls 3\u2026late, but I have found myself a gibbering obsessive none the less, I devoured Dark Souls 1,2,3 and I bested Bloodborne all while craving more. So to see that the progenitor of one of my favourite video games series of all time was getting a remake, I was more than a little excited (my wife thought I was in danger because I squealed so high). That\u2019s right after all these years I will finally get to experience Demon Souls the way it was meant to be played, with arse parsnips leaving \u201cGet Gud\u201d messages for me as I die over and over again.\"Demon<\/a><\/p>\n
