Thank you all for voting in June’s Players’ Choice poll! This month, we took a little extra time and rounded up a new set of Editor’s Choice picks for games released between April and June this year — enjoy!
June 2018 Players’ Choice Winner: The Crew 2
Competition was fierce this month, but Ubisoft’s open-America racer The Crew 2 pulled away from the pack and racked up enough votes to claim the victory. Runners up included Vampyr, Unravel Two, and The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. Congratulations!
Three months have passed since we selected our first batch of Editor’s Choice picks for the year, so we’re back with a fresh roundup for the second quarter of 2018. Read on for the biggest standout games of the past three months, as played by the editors of PlayStation.Blog and PlayStation Store. Peruse all of our picks at PlayStation Store, and maybe even add a new game or two to your library. We’ll vouch for ’em!
God of War
Sid Shuman // PlayStation.Blog
One of PS4’s best games reinvents a classic antihero. The brutal combat is satisfying, and the Norse setting spellbinding, but the father-son relationship will truly move you. Bold, beautiful, and unmissable.
Detroit: Become Human
Kristen Titus // SIEA Social Media
Top-notch graphics and an astounding level of player choice all make Quantic Dream’s ambitious narrative adventure a marvel worth playing again and again. Navigating Kara, Markus and Connor’s world is moving, inspired and above all, fun.
Onrush
Andy Yen // PlayStation Store
Imagine a racing game where winning isn’t based being 1st.Team-based objectives and bone-crunching takedowns make for a fresh, yet thrilling ride. From the studio behind Motorstorm, OnRush is a combination of racing, battling, and a MOBA.
Minit
Justin Massongill // PlayStation.Blog
An example of a clever mechanic executed well, Minit moves quickly and never overstays its welcome. This micro-adventure manages to feel grand in its own way, and it’s appropriately lo-fi soundtrack complements the journey perfectly.
Moonlighter
Justin Massongill // PlayStation.Blog
A brilliant take on the crowded roguelite dungeon-crawler genre, switching often enough between adventuring and shop/town management to prevent you from getting bored of either. Beautiful art, animation & music seal the deal.
Laser League
Andy Yen // PlayStation Store
Laser League is a thrilling futuristic sport in which you must eliminate your opponents with deadly laser grids. Each match is tense and kinetic and every win feels like a triumph. It’s an absolute blast and the perfect party game.
