Cairn, a survival climbing game from The Game Bakers, is one we've had our eye on for a while, so it was nice to get a release date for it during Sony's State of Play stream on Wednesday. It's coming to PS5 and PC on November 5. But you don't have to wait that long to try out Cairn — a demo is now available on PS5.
Looking like the more intense cousin of the enjoyably peaceful Jusant, you'll be able to climb anywhere in Cairn. However, maintaining your balance and stamina levels will be critical. Get too tired or make a wrong move and your climber, Aava, will fall, letting out a scream of anguish as they dangle from their tethered rope.
There's no UI feedback to speak of, so you'll need to pay attention to your character's breathing and body language, as well as the controller vibrations. The developers say they kept the controls simple, so it certainly seems like the type of game that's easy to pick up, but difficult to master.

3 new PlayStation Plus games to play this weekend (June 6-8)
We're fully in showcase season with SGF 2025 starting today and a surprise State of Play happening earlier this week with tons of upcoming PS5 games shown off. Oh, and there's a little console called the Nintendo Switch 2 that just came out as well. But if you're a PlayStation faithful, you will need some games to play this weekend between showcases and while waiting for Death Stranding 2. Last week we got an early drop of PlayStation Plus games, but there's even more that just hit the service this week you might've forgotten about. I've picked out a fresh batch of brand new games you can get lost in over the weekend, so let's get to it. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk If you have any fond memories of Jet Set Radio, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk was made for you. If you weren't around or missed out on that game, this is more than just a nostalgia play. This is a hip-hop-infused skating and graffiti game that looks and sounds like nothing else. You can choose to play on skates, BMX bikes, and skateboards but none of them are meant to be mechanically challenging. Instead, the game is more focused on style, tagging, and chaining together long strings of insane tricks. The maps might be a little too big and confusing later on, but it has a cool story, fantastic locations, and style all its own. Recommended Videos Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC. Alone in the Dark I hope you read my recommendations last week, where I said it was the perfect time to play Alone in the Dark 2. If not, I'm hurt, but it's okay. Alone in the Dark is a reimagining of the 1992 original so you're totally safe starting here. You can pick between two protagonists: Emily Hartwood, played by Jodie Comer, or Edward Carnby, played by David Harbour. This is a classic third-person horror game with slightly altered events depending on your character. Sadly, the game was met with mixed reviews and stiff competition at the time it came out and developer Pieces Interactive was closed down afterward. While not the best survival horror game I've played, it is still one worth trying for fans of the genre. Alone in the Dark is available now on PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Myst There was no predicting Myst and Riven would show up in the Classics catalogue, but that's why I love it so much. These two classic adventure games are the perfect games to go to next if you got hooked on Blue Prince earlier this year. These are first-person puzzle games with very little in the way of instructions, meaning you will need to use your own smarts to overcome the roadblocks. Because these games are on the older side, some of these puzzles are a bit unfair compared to what you might be used to now, so don't feel bad referring to a guide here and there. But, if you want that same satisfaction of working out a devious puzzle with nothing but your own brain power, these two games are exactly what you need. Myst is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Mobile, and PC.

Dakota Johnson Says ‘Madame Web' Flop ‘Wasn't My Fault': Decisions Are Made in Hollywood by ‘People Who Don't Have a Creative Bone in Their Body'
Dakota Johnson recently told the Los Angeles Times on her 'Materialists' press tour that 'Madame Web' flopping with critics and audiences wasn't her fault. The Sony-backed comic book movie was a notorious punching bag in winter 2024, earning a dismal $43 million at the domestic box office and an 11% on Rotten Tomatoes. Johnson headlined the film as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic who gains the ability to see the future after a near-death experience. 'It wasn't my fault,' Johnson said about the movie. 'There's this thing that happens now where a lot of creative decisions are made by committee. Or made by people who don't have a creative bone in their body. And it's really hard to make art that way. Or to make something entertaining that way. And I think unfortunately with 'Madame Web,' it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger-budget movies fail all the time.' More from Variety Dakota Johnson and Michael Angelo Covino's Open Marriage Comedy 'Splitsville' Cracks Up Cannes, Earning 6-Minute Standing Ovation 'Splitsville' Review: Dakota Johnson and Adria Arjona Play the Field in an Exhausting Knockabout Romcom Topic Studios' Ryan Heller Returns to Cannes with Open Marriage Comedy 'Splitsville' starring Dakota Johnson Not that Johnson feels burned by the movie's reception. As she explained: 'I don't have a Band-Aid over it. There's no part of me that's like, 'Oh, I'll never do that again' to anything. I've done even tiny movies that didn't do well. Who cares?' The actor told Bustle last year a few weeks after 'Madame Web' nosedived in theaters that 'films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around them. You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms. My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart, and executives have started to believe that they're not. Audiences will always be able to sniff out bullshit.' Johnson is currently out on a press tour for 'Materialists,' the new A24 film from 'Past Lives' Oscar nominee Celine Song. Johnson stars opposite Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans in the movie, which both embraces and subverts the romantic-comedy genre. It's Johnson's first rom-com since 2016's 'How to Be Single,' although that's not for lack of trying. 'They're not good,' Johnson said about all the rom-com scripts that came her way over the years. 'Sorry. I think a lot of what I read these days is void of soul and heart. And Celine is all soul and heart. I really love a rom-com if it feels like I can connect to the people in it. And I think I've found it hard to connect to the people in some of the ones that I've been offered.' 'Materialists' felt different for Johnson because of 'the complexities of all of the characters. The paradox. Everyone being confused about what the fuck they're supposed to do with their hearts. And what's the right move? I found that very honest and I found it just so relatable.' 'Materialists' opens in theaters June 10 from A24. Head over to the Los Angeles Times' website to read more from Johnson's latest interview.
