With runners-up Watch Dogs: Legion, Star Wars: Squadrons, and FIFA 21.
Congrats to our favorite orange marsupial — Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is October’s Players’ Choice winner! Toys for Bob’s new entry in the iconic series — the first new mainline title in over 20 years — wowed players and critics alike, so it’s no surprise to see it earn the most votes in October’s poll.
Watch Dogs: Legion and Star Wars: Squadrons put up a fight, though, each garnering enough votes to round out the top three.
See you next month!
I know PS5 is juuuuust around the corner, but let’s take a look back at October’s big new PS4 games and figure out which one was the best, yeah?
October was a big one — we started off strong with Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time and Star Wars Squadrons, FIFA 21 hit the pitch, and Watch Dogs: Legion snuck in right at the end of the month. Plus, we saw delightful new indies like Carto, Ikenfell, and Ray’s the Dead, the party game wizards at Jackbox Games released a new Party Pack, Amnesia: Rebirth taught us new lessons in terror, the second entry in the Dark Pictures Anthology made its debut… and plenty more.
We’ll leave the polls up through the end of the weekend, so get those votes in and we’ll reveal the winner next week. See you then!
How does it work? At the end of every month, PlayStation.Blog will open a poll where you can vote for the best new game released that month. Soon thereafter, we’ll close the polls, tally your votes, and announce the winner at PlayStation.Blog. PlayStation Store will also showcase some top Players’ Choice winners throughout the year.
What is the voting criteria? That’s up to you! If you were only able to recommend one new release to a friend that month, which would it be? In keeping with our long tradition in the Game of the Year Awards, remastered or re-released games won’t qualify. Ambitious, larger-scale rebuilds and remakes like Shadow of the Colossus and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy will.
How are nominees decided? The PlayStation.Blog and PlayStation Store editorial teams will gather a list of that month’s most noteworthy releases and use it to seed the poll. Write-in votes will be accepted.
Maybe it doesn’t really fit in here now, but I just want to have it said again. This new shop design is so confusing. You can’t find anything anymore. It’s just awful and timeconsuming. I don’t know what you were thinking, when you decided to change it to that messy state. But hey it’s your shop, but removing all the tried and true features – truly not the best idea.
and they removed the trailers and screenshots from the desktop version…. WHY ?!
Yes, I meant the desktop version. No thumbnail title, no filtering, no sorting, no genres, no trailers, no screenshots – it’s just terrible.
+ no wishlists, massive ads and icons so big they could block out the sun, even if you were sitting on the sun.
I agree with the MiseryPrincess! Why remove a wishlist? It was convenient. In addition, support for the safari browser has ended.
I have to say I love the new web store. It’s so hard for me to use/spend my money that my bank balance will be eternally grateful…
I know they said that some features are missing until its worldwide. But I fully agree. The new store is absolute garbage. They specifically called out there was not going to be a wish list anymore an thats a major feature. I was using it constantly.
Agreed. Ugly, hard to access and navigate, no trailers, and no wishlist… no clue what they were thinking. But, at least, I can save money, since I’m not using it anymore!
The store on the new app is much better
I do not like it either.
I’m wondering if they used brain while working on new store. Ever heard Don’t fix it if ain’t broken?
Totally agree but had to reply to do this as we can no longer “like” peoples comments, a step backwards in the store and the blog.
The store on the console is also now missing the Add-On’s section meaning can’t buy DLC pack for existing games, one example being money for GTA Online, no longer shows the store packs on the game tab whereas it does for Red Dead Redemption II.
Hopefully Add-On’s is put back onto the console store soon, it’s very hard to find DLC.
