Still, if you're eager to take on more responsibility after overseeing your fair share of those, look no further than The Universim, the city builder that lets you play God to entire planets. 

Last year saw a legendary lineup of tremendous games spanning many genres and playstyles. Today, it’s time to look at the top PlayStation Store downloads across all of 2023.

You ever get one of those awkward phone calls from your cousin that he and his family are in town and want to drop in for an unexpected house visit? Or your buddy texts you about arguing with their roommate, and they need to come over and cool down. Or, perhaps, the most dread-inducing — your coworker’s kid-sitter canceled, and they need an emergency backup. Suddenly, you’ve got guests over, and you need to keep them entertained for a while. Fortunately for you, you’ve got a PlayStation Plus membership and extra controllers, which means one thing:  it’s local multiplayer time.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape simply whelmed players on the day of its showcasing, only to be followed by a bout of nasty layoffs and a release date pushback. Ahead of the DLC’s postponed release, however, Bungie managed to eke out some victories, such as the Guardian re-customization feature.

The MMOFPS has no barber, no surgeon, it's new character or nothing. After six years (longer, if you count the first game), Bungie are finally planning to change this. An upcoming update will introduce the ability to change your character's look—within limits. For drastic changes, you would still need a new wizard.
