These 8 PS5 video games in December 2024 will end the year in style

Warhammer 40,000 : Darktide

Originally released in 2022 as an Xbox exclusive, the time has come for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide to also be available on PS5. Here it is a question a very naughty FPS playable in cooperation: a bit like Left 4 Dead, we face hordes of enemies of increasing difficulty using gameplay that mixes firearms and melee weapons in a fairly dark universe. You can create your character from scratch and choose a class, which will directly influence the gameplay, and go through quite a few levels with different environments. A formula that we know well, but which is always just as effective when you have friends to play it with. Or strangers, that does the trick too.

Infinity Nikki

The Nikki series is perhaps not the best known here, but this is still its fifth episode and probably the most ambitious. We're talking about an open-world adventure game, offering downright “the coziest open world” ever made, according to the developers at Infold Games. The goal? We follow the adventures of Nikki and Momo who go away explore the nations of Mirabilis, each with its own culture and biome to meet characters with one goal: recover as many outfits as possible, some possessing attributes necessary to continue the exploration. Basically, tell yourself that this is an ultra-relaxing game, with a captivating universe and designed to relax you and put stars in your eyes from start to finish.

FANTASIA Neo Dimension

Would you like to play some J-RPG again? Fantasian Neo Dimension should delight you, which is published by Square Enix, designed by Mistwalker Corporation and above all produced by Hironobu Sakaguchi, one of the creators of Final Fantasy. Even the music is by Nobuo Uematsu, the famous FF composer! For the record, Fantasian is basically a role-playing game released in 2021 on… Apple Arcade. But here, the publisher offers an upgraded game with a huge graphical facelift, a local translation and new options. Without that, we are on exploration and turn-based with several playable characters to form the same team, a mystical universe to explore which is divided between the world of humans and the world of machines… and an amnesiac hero who will have to understand the why and the how .

Marvel Rivals

Facing titans like Overwatch or Valorant is no easy feat. But when your name is Marvel, you have superheroes and a universe with such gigantic potential, and you also have the power of the Chinese giant NetEase behind it, nothing is impossible: Marvel Rivals therefore translates into a shooting game (and a bit of close combat anyway) in PvP and free-to-play. The idea, as the genre dictates, is to opt for characters with specific skills to intelligently mix them with those of the other members of your team, in order to gain the upper hand against the opposing team. Perhaps this is the real competitor to the two aforementioned tenors.

Path of Exile 2

If you like hack'n slash and Diablo, then you will love Path of Exile 2 which is clearly Diablo IV's biggest competitor. Here, we're talking about a real purist game that will delight early fans of the Blizzard saga: up to six players in cooperation cross levels littered with demons to carve through 6 acts, 100 levels and 100 bosses, no less. Twelve character classes are also on the program, as well as loot and ultra-deep customization of our skill tree : truly, there are hundreds of hours of happiness. On December 6, the game will launch into early access, an important step in its development.

Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers : Rita’s Rewind

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind is intended to be a tribute to quite a few things. First, a homage to the Power Rangers saga in short since the story will bring our heroes back to the first moments of the series, facing the legendary villain Rita who will have put the box in space-time with a mechanical double. Then, a tribute to the old-fashioned beat them genre, quite simply, hand-drawn pixel-art in support, as well as possible cooperation. A very speedy action game, very effective to devour with one or more friends and frankly, it feels good.

Legacy of Kain : Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered

Released in 1999 and 2001 respectively, Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2 are cult titles from the famous Legacy of Kain saga. The talented studio Aspyr will very soon offer it a fine remaster with real work done on the redesign of the characters, the colors, the textures, but also the gameplay and the design with the appearance of a map and a compass. If you like old-fashioned action-adventure games with a top-notch universe and you missed these gems at the time, or you simply want to treat yourself to some nostalgia, these two remasters will give you a lot of happiness in December.

Alien : Rogue Incursion

The Alien saga seems to be on the right track these days. With the success of the film Romulus and the arrival next year of the Alien Earth series, without forgetting the announcement of the game Isolation 2, the series has visibly returned to the roots of horror : Alien Rogue Incursion will be an action-horror game in virtual reality, with a real story, real single player and real thrills. If you have a PSVR 2, this is a frankly essential big budget game (let's just say it's not as if the headset accommodates a plethora of titles) which will require you to have the guts to take on xenomorphs with unprecedented immersion. Nice, stress.
