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.

Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate (PS5)

$8.11/£6.49 (-35%)

Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate is a novel roguelike spin on chess that, despite equipping you with a firearm, is deceptively strategic. You'll need to use cunning moves and tactical shotgun blasts to progress through a run, unlocking upgrades as you go, and it's great, quick-fire fun. With a handful of modes and different shotguns providing a little variety, this is an enjoyable, modern riff on one of the world's oldest and best-loved board games.

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.

Synapse (PS5)

$17.49/£14.99 (-50%)

Synapse is a great roguelike first-person shooter and an early win for PSVR2. Giving you access to telekinetic powers as well as an arsenal of firearms, this is a trippy power fantasy with distinctive visuals and satisfying action. It also makes full use of PSVR2's features, including adaptive triggers and haptic feedback in the controllers and headset.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster (PS5)

$20.99/£17.49 (-30%)

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)

$20.99/£17.99 (-40%)

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 Alters (PS5)

$24.49/£20.29 (-30%)

The Alters is a fascinating sci-fi survival adventure that does things in its own unique way. You play as a lone cosmonaut whose only hope is to create alternate versions of himself, each one of them specialising in different elements, like medicine, or engineering. It results in a brilliant mix of crafting, base building, and intriguing narrative as you roam a desolate, hostile planet trying to stay alive. There's really nothing quite like it.

The Invincible (PS5)

$13.49/£11.24 (-55%)

The Invincible has a wondrous story to tell and dazzling graphics to match, but it's held back from greatness by gameplay that struggles to ever break away from the genre structure of old. Mostly walking and talking, it never feels anything more than serviceable. Still, there's an interesting narrative to experience, and with your own decisions changing events, The Invincible should still be played by sci-fi fanatics.

The Last of Us Remastered (PS4)

$9.99/£7.99 (-50%)

Some of the finest of feathers in Naughty Dog's well-groomed plume, The Last of Us Remastered is not just an improved version of one of PlayStation's greatest ever games – it's arguably one of the most impressive releases of all time. An all-rounder that marries tense gameplay with compelling characterisation and sublime presentation, Joel and Ellie's cross-country escapade is as sombre as it is heart-warming.
