The final weekend of the month can often feel like a lull for gamers, especially when eagerly awaiting the next batch of PlayStation Plus offerings. With March not being overly packed with major PS5 releases except for Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, this is an ideal time to revisit some overlooked titles available on the platform. One such gem is Session: Skate Sim, a unique skateboarding simulation that offers players an immersive experience reminiscent of classic '90s skate videos. Unlike arcade-style games, Session allows players to explore and create their own fun without predefined goals or objectives. The game's distinctive low-angle camera perspective adds to its authenticity, making it a refreshing alternative for those waiting for the rumored revival of the Tony Hawk franchise.

Awaiting new challenges in the gaming world, Returnal stands out as a must-play title for fans of roguelike experiences. Initially released with some rough edges, the game has since evolved into a polished example of what a high-budget roguelike should offer. Its fluid movement and responsive controls, enhanced by clever haptic feedback, make every encounter exhilarating. For those who have already experienced Returnal upon release, the recent addition of co-op mode introduces fresh gameplay elements that are well worth revisiting. Meanwhile, Housemarque continues to build anticipation with their upcoming project, Saros.

Beyond action-packed titles, Jeanne d’Arc presents a strategic depth that deserves more recognition. This turn-based tactics game draws inspiration from the historical tale of Joan of Arc, set against the backdrop of 15th-century France. The game's combat system, which employs a rock-paper-scissors-like affinity mechanic, requires careful planning and strategic placement of units. Fans of tactical games will find Jeanne d’Arc both challenging and rewarding, offering a polished experience that has been unfairly overshadowed by more mainstream titles. Embracing these hidden gems not only enriches our gaming repertoire but also supports the diversity and innovation within the industry.
