Explore a vast universe, throw a Jackbox party, or investigate the mysterious disappearance of a merchant ship.
Next week’s got something for everyone — especially if you’re interested in outer space exploration, madcap party game compilations, or lo-fi mystery-solvin’.
Outer Wilds makes the jump to PS4, offering a mysterious universe for players to explore in 22-minute loops. I’m trying to go into this one as blind as possible so forgive me if this intro isn’t as descriptive as I usually write them.
I think it’s safe to say the Jackbox Party Pack compilations have achieved “legendary” status at this point, right? I’m rolling with it. The legendary Jackbox Party Pack series returns with its sixth set of party games, including Trivia Murder Party 2, the excellently named Dictionarium, and a whole bunch more.
Finally, Return of the Obra Dinn puts PS4 players in the boots of an insurance investigator (stay with me) equipped with a time-altering device assigned the unenviable task of finding out just what happened to the crew of the titular ship.
For a full list of new games coming to PlayStation next week, read on. And enjoy The Drop!
