The biggest addition of the bunch isDay’s Gone,with Sony Bend’s open-world zombie action-survival game standing as one of the biggest blockbusters of the generation. Although it was met with a somewhat mixed reception, it’s gone on to build a pretty dedicated fanbase, with its huge world, motorcycle traversal, and terrifying undead antagonists making for a surprisingly engaging take on the zombie genre. More importantly, many of the battles against its widely-touted zombie hordes are grippingly tense, making it a superb choice for some creepy Halloween evening fun.
Friday the 13this also a huge get forPlayStation Nowaudiences, with the multiplayer experience looking to resurrect the same slasher-movie horror that made its source material so iconic. Meanwhile,MediEviljoined the bandwagon of lovingly recreated remakes, bringing the 1998 cult classic back to screens in a stunning 2019 reimagining. It sports a lot of kid-friendly Halloween fun too, making it a good choice for those looking for a less outwardly terrifying experience to get stuck into during the month’s festivities.
RADandTrine 4are a perfect choice for those less fussed about getting into the Halloween spirit, with the former being a stylish roguelike and the latter a puzzle-platformer. Both games were fairly well-received at launch and round out this month’s PS Now roster nicely. With the selection of new games landing very soon, two currently featured titles will need to get the boot, withWatch Dogs 2andJust Cause 4leaving the service.
