Lil Gator Game PS5

$9.99/£7.99 (-50%)

Lil Gator Game is a compact, jolly adventure that offers up a delightful few hours and calls it there. You explore an island in a non-linear fashion, just messing around, engaging in simple combat, and talking to other residents. It's the playful tone and adorable presentation that makes this short-but-sweet game stand out, making it a great all-ages title.

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics PS4

$15.99/£12.79 (-68%)

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is an essential release if you’re after one of the most prolific parts of fighting game history. The museum mode is a treat, and the games themselves seem to be arcade-perfect conversions, apart from MvC 1 (which should hopefully be fixed in a patch given it’s fine in the PC release). While some bonus features from the console versions of these games would’ve been nice, it’s still undeniably a great collection of titles.

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.

Monster Hunter: World PS4

$7.99/£6.39 (-60%)

The Monster Hunter series has always been popular, but it never properly resonated with a Western audience. That is, until Monster Hunter: World arrived. This action RPG puts the focus on defeating larger-than-life creatures, creating better gear from the loot they drop, and repeating this forever, and it's an incredibly compelling formula. World streamlines the process a little, lowering the barrier to entry just enough that it was an enormous hit worldwide. With a wide selection of weapons to master, a near endless gameplay loop, and super fun co-op excursions, this is an incredibly addictive, consistently satisfying game.

Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection PS5

$24.99/£22.49 (-50%)

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.

No Man's Sky PS5

$23.99/£15.99 (-60%)

The initially rough reception of No Man's Sky can safely be put to bed. Hello Games has stayed fully committed to its procedurally generated space exploration adventure, fleshing it out with a staggering number of huge updates. Not only does the game look and run much better these days, it's bursting with things to see and do, and that's without considering the 18 quintillion planets waiting to be discovered. The PS5 release is the best version you can play on console, too, with minimised load times, great DualSense integration, and now even optional PSVR2 support.

Observation PS4

$2.49/£1.99 (-90%)

Observation uses the unfathomable vastness of space to wonderful effect, conjuring a palpable sense of both isolation and dread that rarely falters across the six or seven hours it'll take for you to see it though. Minor quibbles with some aspects of the storytelling and a couple of quality of life issues don't detract from what is an engrossing adventure that thrills far more frequently than it frustrates.

Octopath Traveler II PS5

$23.99/£19.99 (-60%)

Octopath Traveler II is a borderline must play for fans of more traditional Japanese RPGs. It's built like a classic but with modern design elements, resulting in a refined role-playing experience. An engaging turn-based combat system and a frankly gorgeous visual style make this a seriously impressive sequel.

Paper Trail PS5

$3.99/£3.09 (-80%)

Those looking for a clever puzzle game trying something new might want to check out Paper Trail. Set in a gorgeous paper world, you'll make folds in the environment to traverse otherwise impossible obstacles. It tells a sweet coming-of-age story at the same time, set to an atmospheric soundtrack. It's not doing anything mind-blowing, but its novel design, simple story, and pretty visuals are enough to recommend it.

Pragmata PS5

$47.99/£39.99 (-20%)

A wonderful third-person shooter from Capcom, Pragmata is an intelligent and surprisingly touching action game with a unique gameplay hook. You can't just blast away at the enemy robots running rampant aboard the lunar space station — you must use the hacking abilities of your companion, Diana, to expose their weak spots. Moving between the simple hacking mechanic and the punchy shooting is really satisfying and evolves just enough over the course of the game to stay interesting.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart PS5

$27.99/£29.39 (-60%/-58%)

Up until Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart released, Insomniac Games’ dynamic duo had been wilting in the wilderness a little bit. The PS4 reboot, Ratchet & Clank, was well-received – but it felt lightweight compared to classic series entries, like Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time. Fortunately, while Rift Apart doesn’t necessarily reinvent the wheel, it does deliver the series’ first full-scale adventure in well over a generation. This is a game that feels great to play, thanks in part to stunning DualSense integration and some of the glitziest special effects this side of the galaxy. It’s a little more throwaway than many of the PS5’s other exclusives, but its thoroughly entertaining while it lasts, and the introduction of new characters like Rivet mean there’s a lot of life left in this series yet.

Reanimal PS5

$29.99/£26.24 (-25%)

By improving upon its work from the Little Nightmares series, Tarsier Studios has crafted its greatest horror game yet. Reanimal is an impressive, smooth mix of action, platforming, and top-of-the-line presentation. It’s a very gripping and intense experience, both in solo play and co-op.
