This PS5 exclusive drops players onto a future Earth devastated by an environmental catastrophe. You’ll spend your time searching for resources to equip and upgrade your airship base while you hunt for a cure for a deadly illness. It will offer solo and 2- to 4-player co-op gameplay. While there’s no word on a VR version, it looks well suited to the first-person medium.

This tense “walking simulator” from Kotake Create drops players into a seemingly-endless subway, where they must wander its tiled hallways to find a way out.

This first-person puzzler owes more than a little to the Portal franchise. Though instead of opening up portals to solve puzzles, the objective is to put objects and the environment back the way it was by reversing time. And instead of Wheatley, you get a sassy talking gun. Coming to Steam, PS4, PS5, and Xbox later in 2022.

The last time we checked in on Stray, we were wowed by its environments. Now we have a look at how it plays.

(Gore) Originally pitched on Kickstarter in 2017, this first-person horror adventure looks like someone splattered guts all over a spaceship designed by H.R. Giger. While this 13-minute gameplay trailer is short on story, it’s got creepy environments, squishy sounds, and tension for days. Coming to Xbox Series X/S and Windows PC in 2021.

(NSFW: Lyrics, Gore) Owing more than a little credit to The Stampede, Logic’s dizzying first-person music video drops us right smack dab in the middle of a diamond heist gone wrong. Too bad they couldn’t shoot it without edits.
