How to access the Winter Wonder level

The Winter Wonder level is a free update to Astro Bot so you need to be connected to the internet to download it first.

Step 1: If you haven't already, you need to have completed Astro Bot. It isn't a very long game so it shouldn't be too taxing.

Step 2: Take off from the hub world and fly around the overworld without going into any specific galaxy. A meteor will appear that you need to crash into that will spawn the Winter Wonder level.

Step 3: Land on it and start playing.

We won't spoil what they are, but there are seven new special bots to rescue so go find them all!

The best puzzle games on PS5
An upside-down level in manifold garden.,

Most of the best PS5 games include puzzle elements, but they aren't typically the main focus. These usually amount to a simple logic or physics obstacle used to break up the pacing and not actually cause you to sit and think for a few minutes to solve. Those of us who love a good head-scratcher are forced to find games where puzzle solving is the focus, and thankfully the PS5 has some of the most creative and challenging puzzle games ever made. These games play with space, language, perspective, and logic in ways that will force you to really flex your brain muscles to solve. In many ways, puzzle games are among the hardest video games ever made, but overcoming them comes down to pure intelligence rather than skill. If you need a new mental challenge, here are the best puzzle games on PS5.

If you have already managed to outsmart all of our picks, check to see what new puzzle games are coming in our list of upcoming PS5 games.

The best Roguelikes on PS5
The spelunky characters near lava and treasure.

As great as the best single-player games are, they all must come to an end. Sure, you can replay them and maybe get a secret ending, but they will essentially be the same experience as before. Roguelikes (and Roguelites) are games that are designed to be endlessly replayable. Each one approaches things a bit differently, but the most common element they all share is some level of random generation. This could be in the levels, enemies, items, and more, with most opting to randomize almost everything. That makes every run a new challenge that you can never fully predict. These games are some of the most addictive and best PS5 games you can play, but it is also a genre flooded with less-than-great options. We've sunk hundreds of hours into Roguelikes to pick out the best ones you can play on PS5 today.

The best Metroidvanias on PS5
A hero looks up in Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist.

The Metroidvania genre takes cues from the two namesakes for which it is called: Matroid and Castlevania. Specifically, one of the best SNES games, Super Metroid, and one of the best PS1 games, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It describes a kind of game where the player explores an open map with multiple paths and areas locked off until they acquire some item or power with which to unlock and further explore. That formula has become so popular that dozens of current and upcoming video games have iterated on that style with new mechanics, perspectives, art styles, and more. Some of the best PS5 games are Metroidvanias, and the platform is home to the best the genre has to offer. If you're searching for your next Metroidvania to get lost in, here are the best ones you can play right now.
