45+ PS5, PS4 Games to Buy in PS Store's Big Games Big Deals Sale

11-11: Memories Retold (PS4)

$5.99/£2.99 (-80%/-85%)

11-11: Memories Retold is an immersive, beautiful, and emotionally charged game. It’s at its best when it functions as a playable film, with you making the major decisions. Where it falls down is in its clunky gameplay and story beats that are locked behind secret item collection. However, the strong celebrity performances and engaging story more than make up for this and create a really unique experience that is both thought provoking and enjoyable. As the subtlest World War game ever made, there’s nothing more appropriate to play to commemorate the signing of the Armistice.

Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition (PS5)

$25.99/£19.49 (-35%)

Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition is a wonderful example of modernising a classic game, providing new quality of life features and a fresh coat of paint while retaining its original feel. For hardcore RTS fans who are itching to pick something new up this is a must buy, and an adaptable AI difficulty level means there’s something for everyone.

Alan Wake 2 (PS5)

$17.99/£14.99 (-70%)

Remedy Entertainment has followed up on the beloved Alan Wake with a more-than-worthy sequel. Alan Wake 2 goes all-in on survival horror, but it also goes all-in on Remedy's particular brand of weird, blending live action with gameplay, taking unexpected turns, and making lots of creative risks. The result is an atmospheric, unpredictable, and fascinating game of two halves. Whether you're playing as Saga Anderson in the real world or Alan in the dark place, it remains captivating throughout — and looks incredible to boot.

Anger Foot (PS5)

$9.99/£7.99 (-50%)

Anger Foot is an aggressive action game that feels like a sort of first-person Hotline Miami. This rapid-paced experience is all about kicking down doors and destroying groups of enemies in quick succession, using your feet and all manner of weaponry at your disposal. With colourful visuals and a pulse-pounding soundtrack, this comes recommended for anyone looking for some violent, high-speed thrills.

Another Crab's Treasure (PS5)

$14.99/£12.49 (-50%)

Another Crab's Treasure is a refreshingly different take on the soulslike action RPG. Its more lighthearted presentation, stronger emphasis on story, and sense of humour don't take away from the genre's core, however — this is equally a stern, challenging adventure with fun combat to master and lots of secrets to discover. Despite some technical flaws, though, it's a very enjoyable adventure that's tougher than it looks.

Arcade Paradise (PS5)

£4.79 (-70%)

Arcade Paradise starts out as a relatively derivative simulator-type title, but it blossoms into a brilliant tycoon. As you slowly expand your laundromat into an arcade, you'll uncover all kinds of genuinely entertaining minigames. With a hearty mix of management and retro gaming goodness, this is one of the more addictive indies in quite some time.

Ball X Pit (PS5)

$11.99/£9.59 (-20%)

Ball X Pit is a dangerously addictive roguelite that combines the speedy runs and rapid leveling up of Vampire Survivors with the ball-bouncing action of Breakout. It's one of those concepts that'll make you question why a game like it hasn't been done before, because it works brilliantly. Every element of the game feeds into something else, and the result is this incredibly compelling game that has a surprising amount to see and do.

Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition (PS5)

$11.99/£10.79 (-40%)

A true cult classic, Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition is a lovely remaster of a PS2 favourite. Playing as freedom fighter Jade, this unique sci-fi adventure has you exploring a weird and wonderful world through the lens of her camera. The remaster brings the visuals up to date and throws in some quality-of-life improvements, but the main reason to play this is for the great story and characters, which remain fresh and charming to this day.

Bloodborne (PS4)

$9.99/£7.99 (-50%)

The spiritual successor to FromSoftware's supremely popular Dark Souls property, Bloodborne fuses the lip-smackingly satisfying combat of its predecessors with a frighteningly fast pace, resulting in the most intense action on the PS4. Harrowing Lovecraftian-like fiends and larger-than-life bosses vie for the attention of your Saw Blade, as the dingy districts of Yharnam intertwine. A steep difficulty curve can make this occasionally putrid escapade appear off-putting, but soldier through the skin and sinew and you'll find a bloodbath worth submerging in.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time (PS5)

$19.79/£19.79 (-67%)

Crash Bandicoot is one of PlayStation’s most iconic platforming heroes, and now that he’s double-jumped onto PS5, there’s no excuse for skipping Crash Bandicoot: It’s About Time. This sequel stays true to the series’ origins, but it’s bursting with brand new ideas and jaw-dropping set-piece moments. Running at a flawless 60 frames-per-second in sparkling 4K resolution — and cutting those load times to almost nothing — this release is at its absolute best on Sony’s next-gen console.

Crypt Custodian (PS5)

$12.99/£10.39 (-35%)

Some say there are too many Metroidvania games for this world, yet when one as good as Crypt Custodian comes along, it serves as a reminder of exactly why so many developers chase that addictive fusion of explorative action. With shades of Death's Door and Tunic, brotherly duo Kyle and Eric Thompson have made an approachable yet exceedingly enjoyable adventure full of combat, platforming, puzzles, and charm.

Detroit: Become Human (PS4)

$9.99/£12.49 (-50%)

While so many interactive dramas cheat, Detroit: Become Human is the most adaptable narrative ever conceived. Lead characters can die in the opening hours of the story, and that’s the last you’ll see of them for the remainder of the campaign. The robotic revolution plotline can be a bit heavy-handed, but as with all Quantic Dream games, there are some real high-points that will stick with you long after the credits roll.

Dragon's Dogma 2 (PS5)

$29.39/£23.99 (-58%/-60%)

A long-awaited sequel to Capcom's cult classic action RPG, Dragon's Dogma 2 is another combat-focused romp, boasting some of the best and most dynamic monster-slaying skirmishes you'll find in gaming. The exploration is also incredibly immersive, as your custom character and their AI-driven allies brave beast-infested roads, caves, and ruins, all in the name of completing quests. The story's a little undercooked, but few games capture the spirit of adventure quite like Dragon's Dogma 2.

Evil West (PS5)

$14.99/£12.49 (-75%)

Evil West is one of those really enjoyable 7/10s. It's never going to win any awards and it's probably not going to stick long in the memory, but give it a few years and someone, somewhere, will swear to you that it's actually an underappreciated classic. It's a chunky action game that knows how to have fun, both in and out of combat.

Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery (PS5)

$11.99/£9.59 (-40%)

As the name suggests, Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery bundles together all three adventures into one package, and it's utterly delightful. These are short but brilliantly mad detective stories that have you searching for clues and getting answers from witnesses — once you help them out first, of course. Genuinely funny throughout, all three Frog Detective mysteries are a real treat to discover, and the perfect lighthearted fare for a rainy weekend.

Hollow Knight: Silksong (PS5)

$15.99/£12.79 (-20%)

Hollow Knight: Silksong may have taken a long time to materialise, but it's been well worth the wait. It's another brilliant Metroidvania action game with tight, challenging combat and a fantastic sense of exploration. While its level of difficulty may be off-putting for some, it rewards patient players with a vast map full of secrets, lots of endearing characters to meet, and plenty of abilities and techniques to toy with.

Immortals Fenyx Rising (PS5)

$11.99/£6.99 (-80%)

Developed primarily by the team that crafted the gigantic Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Immortals Fenyx Rising is an open world fantasy RPG with an emphasis on fluid combat and puzzle solving. You play as the customisable Fenyx — a hero tasked with ridding the realm of a corruption spread by Typhon — a key figure in Greek mythology. In fact, Immortals is heavily based on Greek myth, but the story's told through humorous character interactions and offbeat narration. As such, it can be a fun adventure for players of all ages.

Invisible, Inc. (PS4)

$4.99/£3.99 (-75%)

In a genre that's traditionally concerned more with open combat, Invisible, Inc.'s stealth focus is a revelation. Chock full of smart game design, you're gifted plenty of options in how you approach your mission, and despite having so many tools at your disposal, it remains satisfyingly challenging, without ever crossing over into being unfair. While the roguelike progression could potentially be a downside for some, the high level of customisation around the difficulty settings will swiftly rob you of this complaint. Simply put, if you have even a passing interest in turn-based strategy games, you shouldn't let this exceptional title sneak under your radar.

Katamari Damacy Reroll (PS4)

$7.49/£6.24 (-75%)

The beloved cult classic returns in Katamari Damacy Reroll, a joyous remaster of the PS2 roll-'em-up. The King of All Cosmos has sent you down to Earth to roll up all manner of objects to create stars, and while the controls take a little getting used to, it remains a very fun, arcade-like experience. Satisfying, fast-paced, and unshakeably odd, there's nothing quite like this series, and the first game arguably does it best.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess (PS5)

$29.99/£24.74 (-25%)

One of Capcom's more left-field games in recent memory, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a compelling combination of strategy and action. Playing as the guardian of a maiden with the power to clear a sinister corruption, you must tactically place villagers of various types around each stage in order to help ward off enemies that spawn at nightfall, when the game becomes a hack-and-slash. While it can be tough at times, there's real invention and charm to this unique title.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered (PS5)

$13.49/£11.24 (-55%)

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered is a welcome reminder of just how engaging Raziel's tale of vengeance can be. Tonally, the two games are dripping with atmosphere and intrigue, decorated with some fantastic storytelling and memorable characters. Poorly aged gameplay is the only real drawback, although it can be surprisingly easy to overlook when the world of Nosgoth still feels so richly crafted.

Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story (PS5)

$10.49/£8.74 (-65%)

Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story does exactly what it says on the tin, charting the history of one of the UK's best known game designers. Featuring many playable Llamasoft games from the early days through to today, it's a fascinating look at one company's psychedelic contributions to the industry. If you're at all interested in gaming history, you shouldn't overlook this one.

Marathon (PS5)

$31.99/£27.99 (-20%)

Marathon is a game that gives more to you the more you give to it. With impeccable Bungie gunplay, a gorgeous world and artstyle, and a gameplay loop much denser than its competition, we think Marathon is something special. The more we play, the more we love it.

Mega Man X Legacy Collection (PS4)

$7.99/£6.39 (-60%)

Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 and 2 are must-plays for fans. With its new features, galleries, and tweaks, even total newcomers who have never experienced this groundbreaking series will feel welcome. A lot of love and care has been poured into this collection, allowing players of all skill levels to jump right in and enjoy. So get out there, dash and blast, and track down those mavericks, hunter.

Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection (PS5)

$34.99/£27.99 (-30%)

An agonisingly in-depth archive of the series' importance to the industry, Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection is the kind of kompilation the franchise has always deserved. While its absent online features do put a small dampener on the bundle at launch, the sheer scale of this kollection and the quality of its supplementary materials make it a must buy – even for kurious passers-by who may find themselves discovering the franchise for the first time.

Pentiment (PS5)

$9.99/£7.99 (-50%)

Pentiment is a unique narrative adventure with a stunning art style. Set in 16th century Bavaria, you play as a character who begins an investigation into a murder of which your friend has been accused. Through exploring the setting and chatting with locals, you'll slowly peel back the layers of the mystery as well as interact with the well-observed lives of everyday people. It's a slow-moving but thoughtful and well-executed game.

Pepper Grinder (PS5)

$5.24/£4.54 (-65%)

Pepper Grinder has a super fun core mechanic, and it's fully explored within its refreshingly short runtime. It's an action platformer in which you use a large drill to navigate through certain surfaces, and it feels great to leap around like a power tool dolphin. With simple progression and a bunch of additional mechanics changing the gameplay up just enough, this short but sweet little game never outstays its welcome.

Persona 5 Royal (PS5)

$17.99/£14.99 (-70%)

Persona 5 Royal is the definitive version of an outstanding RPG — and it hits a silky smooth 60fps on PS5. The original Persona 5 was already a masterpiece for many, but this greatly enhanced and significantly expanded re-release is basically Persona perfection. Balancing elements of everyday life simulation with amazing turn based combat and a lot of cool dungeon crawling, it's a truly immaculate title. Brilliantly cohesive, refined, and quite possibly the most stylish game in existence.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (PS4)

$9.89/£8.90 (-67%)

Phoenix Wright has finally made his debut on a PlayStation console in the form of the Ace Attorney Trilogy, and you'll have absolutely no objections from us. This collection of three brilliant games is well worth the attention of adventure game fans, visual novel aficionados, or budding lawyers. The mind-bending, labyrinthine murder plots are far-fetched but engaging, the writing is consistently pithy and amusing, and the characters you'll meet are charming and unique. It's an open and shut case – Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy rocks.

Promise Mascot Agency (PS5)

$16.74/£13.39 (-33%)

Promise Mascot Agency is an open world exploration game with management sim elements that tells a crime drama story in a universe where mascots are sentient beings. It's not your typical elevator pitch, but it all comes together very well indeed. Gradually upgrading the town, recruiting new mascots, and progressing through the engrossing story is all seriously compelling. It's a truly unique game that's spinning a lot of plates, but somehow does it all with style.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (PS5)

$3.99/£3.29 (-90%)

For a game that was never meant to exist, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is a revelation. It has everything a Holmes fan could want; mysteries to unravel, fun dialogue and banter between Holmes and Watson, and plenty of investigations to be had. Playing through with barely any instruction or assistance from the game itself really gives a sense of achievement not often found with other detective games. A compelling and mythical storyline is really the cherry on top of a fantastic, thought-provoking game which will have players exploring every nook and cranny to get to the bottom of the mystery at hand.

Sonic Frontiers (PS5)

$17.99/£14.99 (-70%)

With Sonic Frontiers, SEGA decided to play with the traditional formula of the hedgehog's 3D outings, and the result is one of his strongest adventures in a long time. While certainly not without its flaws, this open world spin on the speedy character is refreshing, giving him ample room to run and plenty of opportunities to engage in bite-size platforming challenges. Most importantly, Sonic feels nimble and fun to control — most of the time, anyway. There's definitely some rough edges here, but it's ultimately an enjoyable game that fans of the franchise will adore.

Sonic X Shadow Generations (PS5)

$19.99/£17.99 (-60%)

Sonic X Shadow Generations really is a game of two halves. The remaster of the fan favourite original game is here and intact, albeit perhaps showing its age in some ways. Meanwhile, the all-new Shadow Generations campaign is possibly the best that 3D Sonic has ever been. It builds on the solid foundation laid by Sonic Frontiers and refines the gameplay in bombastic levels that largely sidestep most of the issues the modern games have been suffering from for years. If you love Sonic Generations, great, but for our money, Shadow's side of this game is where the real value lies.

Spyro: Reignited Trilogy (PS4)

$13.99/£12.24 (-65%)

Before Ratchet & Clank, Resistance, and Spider-Man, it was Spyro that gave Insomniac Games its big break on PS1. That first trio of action platformers was wonderful back in the late 90s, but they're even better in Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, a vibrant PS4 remake. It features all three classics with a gorgeous, cartoonish visual makeover and modernised controls. The result is a nostalgic package that equally pleases old fans and new ones alike.

Superliminal (PS5)

$7.99/£6.79 (-60%)

Superliminal is a game in which objects become physically bigger or smaller depending on your perspective, and you'll use this odd concept to solve its myriad mind-bending puzzles. As you wrap your head around its unusual premise, the game gradually introduces a narrative element that culminates in a surprisingly touching, profound conclusion. This is an imaginative and unique first-person puzzler that students of The Witness and Portal will certainly enjoy.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster (PS5)

$19.49/£16.24 (-35%)

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster is a fantastic way to revisit one of the most influential games ever made. Lightyears ahead of its time, some of its systems haven't aged well, making it frustrating at times. Still, with a compelling story and solid gameplay, and packed full of art and assets from development (not to mention scans of classic magazine write-ups, as well as a complete Prima strategy guide), it's well worth the time of any enthusiast.

Tetris Forever (PS5)

$19.24/£16.49 (-45%)

Tetris Forever is a fantastic history lesson on what is undoubtedly one of gaming's most iconic series of all time. Not only does it feature lots of historic versions of the classic falling block puzzler to play, it introduces them all in an interactive timeline, charting the story of how Tetris was created, and how it eventually became a household name. The cherry on top is Tetris Time Warp, an all-new version with a neat time-travelling twist.

The Last Guardian (PS4)

$9.99/£11.99 (-50%/-60%)

From the team behind ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, you shouldn't overlook The Last Guardian. This third game in the loosely connected trilogy has just as much heart and impact as the others — not to mention one of the most technically impressive AI companions yet seen. Playing as a small boy, you and a large, mysterious creature called Trico must escape from a crumbling, enigmatic place full of dangers. The bond you'll form with Trico — who gradually learns to trust and listen to you more as the game goes on — is unlike any other in video games, leading to an incredibly emotional and touching adventure.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III (PS4)

$23.99/£19.99 (-60%)

A leap forward from the first two Cold Steel titles thanks to a new engine, Trails of Cold Steel III sees a slightly older Rean Schwarzer return to his beloved Thors Military Academy as an instructor. Guiding an all-new Class VII in their special ops missions, it isn't long until old friends (and old enemies) start popping up in what is often an engrossing character-driven story. What's more, Cold Steel III makes some fantastic additions to the series' already great turn-based combat system, while larger environments offer so many opportunities for exploration. One of Falcom's finest.

The Pedestrian (PS5)

$4.99/£3.24 (-75%)

There are a zillion platformers out there, but how many take place across various warning and traffic signs? Probably just one — namely The Pedestrian. This is a 2D puzzle platformer that tasks you with reaching the "exit" of each sign, which then connects to another in a 3D environment. That little man who appears on all sorts of signage and iconography we see every day needs your help to reach his goal, and you'll go through all kinds of inventive puzzles to do so. It's not particularly long, but while it lasts, this is an inventive and unique indie title worth checking out.

Tin Hearts (PS5)

£3.19 (-80%)

A Lemmings-inspired experience with an unexpectedly poignant plot, Tin Hearts takes you inside the home and memories of protagonist Albert J Butterworth through the most innocent of childhood items: toys. With over 50 levels, slick presentation, and even optional PSVR2 support, this is a well-designed and wonderfully memorable little puzzler.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection (PS4)

$5.99/£4.79 (-70%)

It's hard to fault the Uncharted PS3 trilogy — especially when all three games have been neatly compiled into one remastered package. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is a no-brainer if you're on the market for cinematic action. While the first Uncharted is a bit shaky by more modern standards, it's still interesting to revisit the adventure that started it all. Meanwhile, Uncharted 2 and 3 remain genre-defining in a lot of ways, which is a testament to Naughty Dog's commitment to quality.

Vampire Survivors (PS5)

$3.74/£2.99 (-25%)

Probably one of the most moreish games on the market, Vampire Survivors is a fascinatingly fun roguelite. With attacks firing off automatically, all you have to do is avoid enemies and survive each 30-minute round, gathering XP and leveling up your abilities as you go. While it doesn't look like much in static screens, it'll surprise you just how chaotic things can get, and building your character to become a literally unstoppable force is satisfying every time. The sheer amount of unlocks and secrets to discover means practically every run gets you something, too. We can't recommend this one enough, but be warned — you might never play anything else again.

Venba (PS5)

$4.94/£3.95 (-67%)

Venba is a heartfelt narrative adventure about a family, and how they connect via the medium of food. To say much more would give away what makes the game special; it's the definition of short but sweet, combining cooking with a meaningful, earnest story about family and the challenges of life.

Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars (PS4)

$11.99/£9.99 (-60%)

Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars is a unique spin on the traditional RPG formula. Everything in the game is represented by cards — characters, weapons, combat abilities, and even the world map — and the result is very effective. It offers up a straightforward turn-based RPG with great presentation and some fun twists and turns. The combat may lose some steam later on, but there's a lot to enjoy here.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (PS5)

$23.99/£26.99 (-40%)

Team Ninja puts its action RPG experience to good use in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. While it shares some of its DNA with the Nioh series, this game makes enough changes to stand apart. With a heavier emphasis on parrying and poise, the combat is intense and frantic, though no less challenging. Based loosely on the famed Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you'll team up with many legendary warriors as you fight against an evil force. Once you get used to this game's rhythms, it delivers some truly satisfying action.
