Now, let’s explore the games!
### It Takes Two | PS4, PS5
It Takes Two is a platform adventure that defies genres, specifically crafted for co-op play. Opt for split-screen couch or online co-op, invite a friend using the Friend’s Pass, and team up across a diverse array of delightfully chaotic gameplay challenges. Enter the shoes of Cody and May, a human duo turned into dolls by a magical spell, who must navigate a fantastical world to mend their broken relationship. Throughout this unpredictable adventure, leverage distinct character abilities to help each other conquer unexpected obstacles. Whether you’re kicking gangster squirrels, piloting underpants, or bobsledding through a magical snow globe, the game is a blend of hilarious antics and touching storytelling.
### Aliens: Dark Descent | PS4, PS5
Prepare to lead a squad against mankind’s most lethal threat with Aliens: Dark Descent. This real-time strategy game tasks you with commanding colonial marines to halt a Xenomorph outbreak on the ominous Moon Lethe. Navigate your marines through expansive levels as they encounter iconic Xenomorphs, rogue Weyland-Yutani operatives, and terrifying new creatures. The strategic deployment is key while your enemies adapt to your tactics on the hunt—remember, death is permanent.
### Temtem | PS5
Embark on the journey of your dreams as a Temtem tamer in Temtem, exploring the captivating six islands of the Airborne Archipelago. Discover new creatures, tackle adventures, make lasting friendships, and engage in thrilling battles. Along your path, challenge the troublesome Clan Belsoto, beat every Dojo Leader, and ascend as the ultimate Temtem tamer.
