It’s Friday the 13th, and the weekend recommendation column leans into a mix of comfort plays and fresh scares. The editor’s top pick this week is Crisol: Theater of Idols, a survival-horror title that blends old-school gameplay vibes with a risky health-for-ammo twist.

  • Crisol: Theater of Idols — A nostalgia-tinged horror adventure that asks players to trade health for bullets, creating tense choices between healing and shooting. Early impressions praise the atmosphere and challenge, though performances and narrative hooks feel uneven so far.
  • PlayStation State of Play highlights — Recent announcements include several big moves for Sony platforms, giving players plenty to watch for across upcoming releases and remakes.
  • God of War trilogy remake — Santa Monica Studio is working on refreshed versions of the original trilogy, promising updated visuals and modernized presentation for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
  • Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse — Konami teamed up with the developers behind Dead Cells on a new Castlevania entry slated for 2026, merging classic gothic action with roguelike sensibilities.
  • Industry shake-ups and collections — Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 restores previously locked content, Blizzard is expanding the Warlock across multiple Diablo titles, and Wildlight Entertainment reported layoffs at Highguard’s studio.
