Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age (PS4)

$19.99/£15.99 (-60%)

Final Fantasy XII was and still is a divisive game, but despite its PS2 origins, we would argue that it's aged extremely well. XII opts for a more serious story involving political puppeteering and a hefty dose of wartime drama, but it's the sense of adventure that makes the game so endearing. Excellently crafted environments are a joy to explore, and a brilliantly worked job system lets you tweak your party however you like. However, its Gambit system isn't for everyone, as it essentially lets you program your characters so that you don't have to lift a finger during combat. This allows for some impressive technical depth, but, you know, a lot of Final Fantasy fans like pushing buttons every now and then.

Final Fantasy XVI (PS5)

$24.99/£24.99 (-50%)

The Final Fantasy series has never been one to sit still, and with Final Fantasy 16, it's moved away from its turn-based traditions entirely. The first true action RPG in the mainline games, it's quite the departure from the norm, but it's an excellent entry nonetheless. Featuring a gripping story delivered by brilliant performances, incredibly fun combat, and some of the most spectacular scenes imaginable, this is a fantastic game that pulls out all the stops.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (PS4)

$9.89/£8.24 (-67%)

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective comes from the mind behind the Ace Attorney series, and while there's definitely some through-lines, this unique adventure really stands out. You play as a character who's just died, and must learn the truth behind his own murder — in doing so uncovering a wider conspiracy. Using your ghostly abilities to possess objects and rewind time, this is a wonderfully wacky puzzle adventure with a great story at its core.

Gorogoa (PS4)

$3.74/£3.59 (-75%/-70%)

If you're after a unique puzzle game, stop reading about Gorogoa and play it. This intelligent and wonderfully crafted puzzler has you viewing and manipulating framed images in a variety of brilliantly clever ways. It's the definition of short but sweet, providing you with a couple of hours of novel, engrossing headscratchers that'll have you smiling at their genius and simplicity.

Helldivers 2 (PS5)

$29.99/£26.24 (-25%)

Live service executed effortlessly, Helldivers 2’s success can be attributed to Arrowhead putting gameplay ahead of business models. The game’s systemic approach means cinematic moments unfold emergently, as part of the co-operative action and physics at play. Doing your part has never felt quite so good.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (PS5)

$29.99/£26.99 (-40%)

Horizon Zero Dawn is very much one of Sony’s standout projects of the past ten years, and this superb remaster by Nixxes puts it among the best looking games on the PS5. While the side-quests and supporting content don’t quite match up to sequel Forbidden West, the more focused story is arguably better than its successor, and it’s presented almost flawlessly in this remastered format.

Inscryption (PS5)

$7.99/£6.39 (-60%)

A game quite unlike any other, Inscryption combines cards with horror and mystery in some truly unexpected ways. What starts off as a perfectly good roguelike turn-based card game quickly starts to go off the rails as you learn more and more about the world's lore, leading to some brilliant twists and turns in the story. To say much more would spoil the experience.

Judgment (PS5)

$9.99/£8.74 (-75%)

It may have launched on PS4 not long before this PS5 port, but Judgment is so good that it deserves every chance at success that it can get. This Yakuza spinoff puts you in the sneakers of Takayuki Yagami, a private detective living in the heart of Kamurocho, a fictional red light district that's always teetering on the edge of chaos. Tangled up in a series of brutal murders, Yagami is forced to dig deep into the city's criminal underbelly, resulting in a truly gripping story. With a brilliant cast of characters, a great combat system, and a map that's stuffed with fun distractions, Judgment is right up there with the absolute best that Yakuza has to offer.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (PS5)

$11.99/£9.99 (-80%)

The force is strong with this one. While there have been several instalments in the past, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the culmination of TT Games' previous efforts. Encompassing all nine mainline movies, this is a huge platformer adventure featuring all the most iconic sequences you remember from the big screen. When you're not progressing the story, it turns into a sandbox, letting you explore myriad locations from the films and play as one of hundreds of characters. Its gameplay is also more modern than the older LEGO Star Wars titles, sharpening up shooting and making combat more exciting. There's so much to see and do here that Star Wars fans need not play anything else for a while.

Lies of P (PS5)

$29.99/£24.99 (-50%)

Lies of P is one of the best Souls games not made by FromSoftware. Distinct in direction, tone, and style having leant into an evil take on the classic Pinocchio story, the journey through Krat is a memorable one thanks to solid combat, impressive customisation options, and unique art. If you've completed every FromSoftware experience multiple times over and you're looking for the next Souls-like hit, Lies of P is up there with the very best.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (PS5)

$17.99/£16.49 (-70%)

A thoroughly enjoyable side game that looks to offer familiar Like a Dragon action with a swashbuckling twist, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a flamboyant distraction between mainline entries. The story doesn’t compare favourably to the mainline entries and the new island areas quickly become repetitive, but the novelty of Goro Majima at the helm of a pirate ship never quite wears off. Stay for its frenzied action and jolly pirate ship battles and you’ll have a good time.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes (PS5)

$14.99/£11.39 (-40%)

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a fascinating, surreal web of puzzles that feels great to unpick. You explore a mysterious hotel, with every room presenting you with locked doors and a host of environmental oddities to figure out. Presented in black and white (with the occasional streak of hot pink), this is a striking puzzle adventure that goes far deeper than you might expect.

Mafia: Definitive Edition (PS4)

$5.99/£5.24 (-85%)

Remakes don’t really get much better than Mafia: Definitive Edition. This extended version of 2K Czech’s bona fide PS2 crime classic is dripping with atmosphere, and a real standout narrative-driven experience. With tons of little time appropriate touches, like radio broadcasts and period-accurate newspaper clippings, this is the kind of open world you can really embed yourself in.

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics (PS4)

$24.99/£19.99 (-50%)

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.

Neon White (PS5)

$12.49/£9.99 (-50%)

We can't think of many more unusual elevator pitches than Neon White's. A first-person platformer that's also a slightly horny visual novel, and you use guns represented by cards to kill enemies and enable special abilities? What? Amazingly, the whole thing hangs together far better than it sounds on paper. Speeding through each level, shaving off fractions of a second each time, is exhilarating and addictive, discarding weapons to double jump or blink forwards feels fantastic, and the visual novel side is a calming break from the action. It's a very different platformer, but a very good one.
