Disney Dreamlight Valley is a delightful life simulation game tailored for Disney enthusiasts who adore games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. In this enchanting world, you play as a custom avatar tasked with restoring the titular land to its former glory, which was devastated by the Forgetting—a mysterious event that led to memory loss among Disney characters and prompted others to flee to their homeworlds due to the menacing Night Thorns.

Rebuilding Dreamlight Valley involves gathering resources and constructing homes, but the joy lies in befriending every Disney character you encounter, including the villains. It's a relaxing experience perfect for family gaming sessions on your living room couch.

Initially launched on the PS4, Kingdom Hearts 3 has been beautifully optimized for the PS5, enhancing its graphics significantly. The game follows Sora's journey alongside Donald and Goofy to reclaim his Power of Waking after failing his Mark of Mastery exam. Simultaneously, Riku and King Mickey search for Aqua, Terra, and Ventus, while Kairi and Lea train to become Keyblade wielders, all gearing up for the climactic battle against Master Xehanort.

Kingdom Hearts 3 introduces innovative gameplay mechanics like Attraction Flow and Athletic Flow, and features worlds inspired by beloved Disney films like Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Big Hero 6, Tangled, and Frozen, complete with the iconic "Let It Go" scene. The Re:Mind expansion further enriches the narrative and offers challenging battles against the data versions of Organization XIII and the enigmatic Yozora. This installment is a must-play while awaiting Kingdom Hearts 4.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which won a Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media, is heralded as one of the best Star Wars games to date. Set five years after Fallen Order, the game follows Jedi Knight Cal Kestis as he battles the Galactic Empire and seeks a sanctuary to evade their grasp.

You can customize Cal's appearance, wield a Kylo Ren-inspired Lightsaber with a new stance, and explore levels filled with more NPCs than ever before. The immersive world of Star Wars is brought to life with an exceptional soundtrack, making Jedi: Survivor a captivating experience.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Despite Disney's ownership of Marvel, Sony's grip on Spider-Man has resulted in the PS5-exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. This game continues the saga of Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they juggle personal life and superhero duties amidst new threats like Kraven the Hunter and the Venom symbiote, which echoes Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man 3 by transforming Parker into a more aggressive persona.

Building on the foundation laid by Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the game introduces new web gadgets and specialized Spidey suits tailored to each character's playstyle, including the iconic Venom suit for Peter. Its popularity is evident, having sold 2.5 million copies within the first 24 hours and even earning a spot on Wheaties cereal boxes. It stands as the pinnacle of Spider-Man gaming experiences.

Disney Speedstorm

For fans of racing games with a Disney twist, Disney Speedstorm offers a thrilling experience. This free-to-play PS5 title mirrors Mario Kart's gameplay but sets its racetracks in worlds inspired by Disney films and franchises, including Mickey and Friends, Mulan, Monsters Inc., Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Minor characters serve as Crew Members, enhancing the racers' stats.

While the game excels as a crossover racing title, it does include gacha-style microtransactions, a feature not seen in other racing games like Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing and Mario Kart 8. Nonetheless, the allure of racing against iconic characters like Mickey Mouse, Mulan, Sulley, Jack Sparrow, or Elsa remains undeniable.

Gargoyles Remastered

The game offers a choice between the new art style inspired by the beloved Disney animated series and the nostalgic 16-bit pixel art. It also features an instant rewind function to refine your platforming and combat skills, and a dynamic soundtrack that shifts between remastered and original versions based on the chosen graphics mode, giving you the best of both worlds.
