Last week, we asked you to tread into the magical world of the newly released Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince. From wintery slopes to flowing midnight skies, you shared your fantastical moments using #PS4share and #PSBlog. Here are this week’s highlights: Mondingus shared a snow-filled cliffside.

Influential site TIME magazine has put together a list of their favourite video games that have been released so far this year.
