Disney Dreamlight Valley

Disney Dreamlight Valley is a dream come true for Disney enthusiasts who adore life simulation games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. In this enchanting world, you create a custom avatar tasked with restoring the magical land of Dreamlight Valley, which has been devastated by the Forgetting—a mysterious event that has caused Disney characters to lose their memories and flee to their homeworlds due to the Night Thorns. Rebuilding the valley involves gathering resources and befriending a diverse cast of Disney characters, including the villains. It's a relaxing experience perfect for family gaming sessions on your living room couch.

Kingdom Hearts 3

Originally launched on the PS4, Kingdom Hearts 3 has been beautifully enhanced for the PS5, showcasing improved graphics that elevate the visual experience. The game follows Sora, Donald, and Goofy on a quest to restore Sora's Power of Waking after his failed Mark of Mastery exam. Alongside their journey, Riku and King Mickey search for Aqua, Terra, and Ventus, while Kairi and Lea train to become Keyblade wielders, all in preparation for the final showdown with Master Xehanort. New gameplay mechanics like Attraction Flow and Athletic Flow, along with worlds inspired by Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Big Hero 6, Tangled, and Frozen, enrich the adventure. The Re:Mind expansion adds depth to the story and challenges players with battles against data versions of Organization XIII members and the enigmatic Yozora. Kingdom Hearts 3 is a must-play while awaiting the next installment, Kingdom Hearts 4.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a recipient of the Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media, is hailed as one of the finest Star Wars games to date. Set five years after the events of Fallen Order, the game follows Jedi Knight Cal Kestis as he battles the Galactic Empire and seeks refuge. Players can customize Cal's appearance, wield a unique Lightsaber with a new stance reminiscent of Kylo Ren's, and explore meticulously designed levels teeming with NPCs. The immersive world of Star Wars is brought to life with an exceptional soundtrack, making Jedi: Survivor a standout title.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Despite Disney's ownership of Marvel, Sony's exclusive grip on Spider-Man has resulted in the phenomenal Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 by Insomniac Games. This PS5-exclusive title follows Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they juggle their personal lives with their superhero responsibilities amidst new threats like Kraven the Hunter and the Venom symbiote. Picking up from Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the game introduces new web-based gadgets and Spidey suits tailored to each hero's play style, including the iconic Venom suit for Peter. Its immense popularity led to 2.5 million copies sold within the first 24 hours of release and a special promotion on Wheaties cereal, cementing its status as the best Spider-Man game ever made.

Disney Speedstorm

For fans of racing games, Disney Speedstorm offers an exhilarating experience where you can race against a vast array of Disney characters. This free-to-play PS5 game, developed by Gameloft Barcelona, mirrors the gameplay of Mario Kart but with racetracks themed around the worlds of Disney films and franchises, such as Mickey and Friends, Mulan, Monsters Inc., Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Minor characters serve as Crew Members, boosting the stats of their respective racers. While the game includes gacha-esque microtransactions, the thrill of racing as iconic characters like Mickey Mouse, Mulan, Sulley, Jack Sparrow, or Elsa is undeniable.

Gargoyles Remastered

Gargoyles Remastered brings the classic 16-bit Sega Genesis game to the PS4 with a modern twist. As Goliath, players relive the epic tale of the Gargoyles' battle against the Eye of Odin, spanning from the Viking invasion of Castle Wyvern to their awakening in modern-day Manhattan. The game offers a choice between new art reminiscent of the Disney animated series and the nostalgic 16-bit pixelated visuals. An instant rewind feature enhances gameplay, and the dynamic soundtrack shifts between remastered and classic versions based on the chosen mode, providing a delightful blend of old and new.
