Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (PS4)

Persona 5 is a game about the internal and external conflicts of a group of troubled high school students - the protagonist and a collection of compatriots he meets in the game's story - who live dual lives as phantom thieves. They have the typically ordinary day-to-day of a Tokyo high schooler - attending class, after-school activities, and part-time jobs. But they also undertake fantastical adventures by using otherworldly powers to enter the hearts of people. Their power comes from the persona, the Jungian concept of the “self”. The game's heroes realize that society forces people to wear masks to protect their inner vulnerabilities, and by literally ripping off their protective masks and confronting their inner selves do the heroes awaken their inner power, and use it to strive to help those in need. Ultimately, the group of Phantom Thieves seeks to change their day-to-day world to match their perception and see through the masks modern-day society wears.

Battlefield Hardline PS4 focuses on the conflict between cops and robbers. Fans of police procedurals will love the single-player mode, featuring a mix of various tropes such as dirty cops, drug money, and high-profile criminals. Once the story is over, fans who crave more can dive into the game's online multiplayer mode. Playing as either a cop or a criminal choose from five game modes, many of which are new to the Battlefield series. Standout game modes include Heist, where criminals must break into and successfully loot a vault, and Blood Money, where both the cops and criminals fight over a crate of cash in the center of the map. The multiplayer maps change during the course of gameplay as a result of player damage, meaning that the best players will be the ones who can quickly adapt to new situations.
