Mafia III (PS4)
What is it about? Mafia 3 takes you to the southern USA. You take on the role of Lincoln Clay and experience through his eyes the story of an African American war veteran who, in 1968, carves a path of destruction through the underworld of New Bordeaux – a fictional version of New Orleans. Along the way, you settle old scores, find new allies, and create your own criminal empire.
What makes Mafia III special:
- Exciting open-world action
- Driving fun, shootouts, exploration
- A detailed recreation of New Orleans
- Edgy anti-hero as the game character
- Cool 60s setting
Mafia III is perfect for you if you enjoy filmic 60s gangster action in an authentic setting, complete with a gripping story and cool soundscape.
Dead By Daylight (PS4)
What is it about? Dead by Daylight mixes 80s horror vibes with asymmetrical multiplayer. The game mechanics are quickly explained: Four players enter a creepy map and must escape the fifth player, who is trying to brutally send his four opponents to the virtual afterlife before they can escape.
What makes Dead by Daylight special:
- No singleplayer
- Asymmetrical multiplayer
- Victims and killers with completely different play styles
- Playable horror legends like Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, or Leatherface
- 10 worlds with a total of 24 maps
Dead by Daylight is perfect for you if you enjoy horror elements in games and films and like games like Friday the 13th. Friends of asymmetrical multiplayer, like in Evolve, could also have a lot of fun here.
