Unbound has separate single and multiplayer campaigns and encourages players to &#8220;race against time, outsmart the cops, and take on weekly qualifiers to reach The Grand, Lakeshore&#8217;s ultimate street racing challenge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In our Need for Speed Unbound review, we said it &#8220;hasn\u2019t strayed very far from the fundamentals of 2019\u2019s Heat, but its bold new animated style impresses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is up next on PS4 and PS5, and it&#8217;s a gorgeous remake of the 2010 title that first appeared on Nintendo Wii. In this 3D platformer, players become Mickey Mouse and venture to the Wasteland, a realm of forgotten Disney characters. And yes, you do get to encounter Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, who was Walt Disney&#8217;s first big character before Mickey.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In my preview of Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, I said, &#8220;what impressed me the most about Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is how much it looks and, perhaps most importantly, feels like a 2024 game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Rounding out the bunch is Core Keeper on PS4 and PS5, a 1-8 player mining sandbox adventure where you can &#8220;harvest relics and resources, craft advanced tools, build your base, and explore a dynamically evolving world waiting to be unearthed.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Core Keeper is getting a big Void &amp; Voltage Update (and a Switch 2 release!) on January 28, 2026, so this is a great time to jump aboard. The update includes a new biome called Breaker&#8217;s Reach, a new boss named S.A.H.A.B.A.R., an Advanced Automation Table, and much more.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For more, check out which game we crowned the best PlayStation game of 2025 alongside all of our other big winners of the year.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Adam Bankhurst is a writer for IGN.
