The Coolest Games from PlayStation Experience That Aren’t Sequels or Remakes

5. Vane
Tokyo-based Friend and Foe Games is behind Vane, and they already demonstrated the game to select journalists, showing how you’ll be able to navigate the expansive wastes as a bird. Billed as “an atmospheric adventure about unraveling the secrets of an unknown land,” this eerie, atmospheric game evokes the mystery and wonder of games like Inside and Abzu.
6. Starblood Arena
From Los Angeles-based studio WhiteMoon Dreams, Starblood Arena combines all the things–battle royale, team deathmatch, co-op, challenge modes–to create a multiplayer arena shooter that’s like Descent gone the way of Unreal Tournament. Players control a bunch of heavily armed floating battle pods in close quarters arenas. The game is being developed exclusively for PlayStation VR.
7. What Remains of Edith Finch
Santa Monica based Giant Sparrow brought us the unique splatter narrative The Unfinished Swan some years ago, and their next offering, What Remains of Edith Finch, promises a similarly unique experience. Billed as a collection of short stories about a cursed family with personal stories spanning multiple decades, you play as Edith Finch, a young woman trying to learn why she’s the last living Finch.
8. Strafe
Welcome to the future of video games. Welcome to 1996. So goes this love letter from developer Pixel Titans to the heyday of hyper violent shooters. A terrible looking website and clever send ups of outraged parents and moral panic are backed by incredible looking game play. Randomly generated levels, unforgiving speed and amazing gore effects make Strafe a throwback we’re looking forward to.
