70+ PS5, PS4 Games to Buy in PS Store's Critics' Choice Sale

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection (PS5)

$15.99/£13.99 (-60%)

The retro-reviving masters at Digital Eclipse have compiled the Cowabunga Collection, a game comprising pretty much all the beloved TMNT games from back in the day. Each game has save and rewind features as well as custom button mapping, and some have even been updated with full online play, bringing these old school titles into the 21st century. With some true arcade classics, there's a huge amount of turtle-tainment to be had here, and that's before you get into the behind-the-scenes stuff — development art, sketches, and TMNT-related media is thrown in too.

Tekken 8 (PS5)

$23.99/£19.99 (-60%)

Arguably the most explosive Tekken game yet, Tekken 8 is a truly bombastic fighter. Fundamentally, it builds on the already fantastic foundations of Tekken 7, but the new Heat system brings so much aggression to the series' trademark 3D gameplay. Featuring a healthy list of modes — both online and offline — a rock solid character roster, and the promise of many memorable battles, Tekken 8 is probably the franchise at its peak.

Thank Goodness You're Here! (PS5)

$11.99/£8.99 (-40%)

Set in a fictitious Yorkshire town, Thank Goodness You're Here! is probably the best, and certainly the most ridiculous, portrayal of England in games. While waiting to meet with the mayor of Barnsworth, you help out dozens of people in its community with their bizarre problems, leading you through a linear but varied journey packed with laughs. Its gameplay may be simple, but this short adventure will live long in your memory thanks to great voice work and visual gags you won't be able to forget.

The Artful Escape (PS5)

$6.99/£5.59 (-65%)

The Artful Escape is certainly a unique offering. It's a trippy, music-fuelled adventure game about an artist named Francis Vendetti discovering who he really is. This plays out through an audiovisual ride, taking you to some wild places full of vivid colours and excellent music. Featuring Hollywood talent and an entertaining script, this is one of those games that'll impress with its presentation more than anything. Gameplay-wise it's a little shallow, but don't let that stop you from taking this magical mystery tour.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (PS4)

$15.99/£13.19 (-60%)

Set long before the events of the other Ace Attorney games, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles turns back the clock to the 19th century. Focusing on the journey of rookie attorney Ryunosuke Naruhodo (ancestor of Phoenix Wright) and his friend Herlock Sholmes, this duology of games plays similarly to the rest of the series, but sets itself apart with a fresh setting and characters. On top of that, it features some of the best cases and storylines in the whole franchise. If you enjoy this quirky courtroom drama series, this is definitely worth playing.

The Messenger (PS4)

$3.99/£3.19 (-80%)

The Messenger is a rock solid action platformer that balances out its retro stylings with modern touches and brilliantly slick controls. Blasting through the lengthy story is compelling, as new story beats and abilities are thrown into the mix. It perhaps flies a little too close to the sun later on as you hunt down the final few collectibles, but by and large, it's a cloud-stepping joy. Fans of 2D action games should have a blast with this, and that's a message we're happy to pass along.

Unicorn Overlord (PS5)

$20.99/£19.24 (-65%)

"Vanillaware doesn't miss" — a statement that grows more and more meaningful with every game that the talented Japanese studio releases. Unicorn Overlord takes the developer in yet another new direction, channelling the spirit of strategy RPGs like Fire Emblem to create one of the finest examples of the genre that you'll find in modern gaming. Growing a huge army of characters and finding unique ways to squad them up is the crux of the experience, and it only gets increasingly addictive as the adventure continues. Couple that with Vanillaware's amazing, trademark art direction, and you've got a surefire recipe for role-playing success.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 (PS4)

$5.99/£4.99 (-80%)

When it comes to gameplay, Valkyria Chronicles 4 is the most fleshed-out title in SEGA's strategy series. It builds on the property's trademark mix of real-time movement and command-based action really well, adding new unit types, character integrations, and battlefield hazards. The story's still pretty good, too, following yet another ragtag band of soldiers as they fight for their homeland. A little slow to get properly started, perhaps, but a tactical treat once you're in the trenches.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (PS5)

$27.99/£23.99 (-60%)

Capturing the heart and soul of Warhammer 40k isn't easy, but Space Marine 2 is just about as good as it gets. This gory third-person action-shooter is a brilliantly robust adaptation, boasting a well-paced campaign (that can be played in co-op), a full set of online co-op missions, and even competitive multiplayer. In many ways it's a throwback to simpler times, when such shooters were so common, but it brings the brutality forward with some stunning visuals and a deeply satisfying, visceral combat system. A damn good time for everyone involved (except the Tyranids, obviously).

What Remains of Edith Finch (PS5)

$4.99/£3.99 (-75%)

What Remains of Edith Finch is a difficult game to talk about without spoiling what makes it special. It's a narrative-driven experience that only lasts a few hours, but it packs in so much inventive design and imaginative sequences that it will stick with you for longer than anything else. Playing as the titular Edith Finch, you return to her rickety, unusual family house and unearth what happened to everyone. It's emotional, surprising, characterful, and unique. Now also on PS5, there's no excuse to skip this excellent adventure.

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.
