Nine Sols (PS5)

$14.99/£12.24 (-50%)

Nine Sols is a fantastic 2D action game that ticks all the boxes. It has an intriguing sci-fi story and setting, cutthroat and challenging combat, and gorgeous presentation. Described as a sort of side-scrolling Sekiro, this Metroidvania is a real treat. It may be tough, but as with the Souls games, that just makes mastering its systems all the sweeter.

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.

Norco (PS5)

$5.79/£4.79 (-60%)

Norco is a point and click narrative adventure set in a bleak, dystopian Louisiana. The grungy setting paves the way for a series of engaging puzzles, but perhaps the best thing about this game is its story and writing. We won't spoil anything, of course, as it's a big part of the appeal here. If you're after a well-crafted narrative and don't mind things getting dark, this is definitely worth checking out.

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.

OlliOlli World (PS5)

$4.99/£4.24 (-75%)

OlliOlli World is the third entry in Roll7's side-scrolling skateboarding series, and it takes things in a brilliant new direction. The gameplay is about the same, tasking you with pulling off tricks with the left stick as you speed through each level. However, the addictive, score-chasing core that keeps you hooked is wrapped in new layers that make it far more appealing. A cel-shaded look is complemented by a chilled out soundtrack and an eclectic range of characters, making for far more pleasant presentation. Full customisation gives you much more control of your skater's look, and asynchronous multiplayer gives you a practically limitless supply of stages to master. A compulsive and fun-loving take on the extreme sport.

Once Upon a Katamari (PS5)

$29.99/£26.24 (-25%)

Once Upon a Katamari is a great new entry in Bandai Namco's wackiest series. It instantly feels familiar to anyone who's played these quirky arcade action games before, but it rolls in some new ideas to freshen things up. A time-travelling premise sees the Prince visiting various time periods, which keeps the missions varied, and new power-ups can make your ball-rolling objectives much easier. There's still nothing quite like Katamari, and this game proves the concept hasn't aged a bit.

Patapon 1+2 Replay (PS5)

$19.79/£19.99 (-34%/-20%)

Patapon 1+2 Replay brings together the first two titles in this cult hit series, and it's arguably the best way to play them. A combination of rhythm and real-time strategy that remains unique to this day, Patapon is a compulsive and satisfying blend. You'll never escape the music once you start, and with charming art and a huge amount to see and do, this is a very easy game to fall for.

Persona 3 Reload (PS5)

$23.99/£21.99 (-60%)

As far as faithful remakes go, Persona 3 Reload is right up there with the best you'll find on PlayStation. The original Persona 3 is an undeniable classic, but Reload greatly improves the experience by modernising its turn-based combat and expanding its storytelling. What's more, it's an utterly gorgeous revival, boasting incredible art direction and some of the most stunning presentation you're ever likely to see in an RPG. A must for existing fans, and for newcomers, a perfect introduction to the Dark Hour.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (PS5)

$11.99/£9.99 (-60%)

Ubisoft proves with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown that it’s arguably at its best when it’s scaling down the size of its games and creating something outside of its open world wheelhouse. Metroidvanias may be ten a penny on PS5, but this well-executed adventure is bursting with exploration and equipped with some of the most satisfying side-scrolling combat you’ll find on Sony’s current-gen system.

Resident Evil 4 (PS5)

$15.99/£13.99 (-60%)

One of the most influential, and most highly rated, games in living memory is Resident Evil 4, and surprise surprise, the remake is just as essential. Capcom has brought Leon's disturbing European excursion into the modern era with updated controls, vastly improved graphics, and knife parries. The remake nails the tone of the beloved original while building on it with a creepier atmosphere and even new areas to explore and side missions to keep you busy. It's somehow improved on one of the best games ever, and even features full PSVR2 support.

RoadCraft (PS5)

$27.99/£24.49 (-30%)

RoadCraft takes the intricate off-road fun of MudRunner and SnowRunner, and melds it with involving micro-management and building aspects, resulting in a fantastic experience that's the dev's best vehicle sim to date. With eight big maps full of ruined environs and treacherous conditions to contend with, a huge array of complex vehicles to master, and co-op play to maximise the fun of it all, this is a big old blast of a thing, a huge sandbox that's got excitement, depth, and challenge in spades.

Rogue Legacy 2 (PS5)

$9.99/£7.99 (-60%)

If it's rogue-lites you're into, there are few better than Rogue Legacy 2. Building upon the already great original in basically every way, the sequel is vast in scope and executed brilliantly. Each attempt sees you begin with a new character, all of them with a unique build of strengths and weaknesses. Between runs, you'll upgrade the town, craft better armour, and gradually become stronger. It's incredibly moreish, with each run feeling different from the last, and the gameplay is responsive and rewarding.

Sea of Stars (PS5)

$22.74/£18.84 (-35%)

Set in the same universe as The Messenger, Sea of Stars is a similarly retro-styled title with some fresh twists. This is a turn-based RPG about a pair of warriors travelling the world as they warm up to their supernatural powers and thwart some evildoers along the way. The combat is strategic and rewarding to master, and there's a great cast of characters you'll love by the end, including the bad guys. Gorgeous presentation and a twisting story tie it all together.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PS4)

$29.99/£29.99 (-50%)

Sekiro is a slight departure from the rest of FromSoftware's output this generation, but it's no less impressive. Dropping some RPG elements from the Souls series and focusing on intense swordfights, the game has a much more action oriented flow, and it's excellent. Every fight is a knife-edge battle of wits as you aim to parry every strike, and it makes for an adventure that's thrilling from start to finish. With some insanely good boss encounters, a beautiful world to explore, and a uniquely challenging combat system, Sekiro is among the best action games on PS4.

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew (PS5)

$9.99/£8.74 (-75%)

This real-time strategy game flew way under the radar for many, but it's another great title from the makers of Desperados III and Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. With a pirate theme, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew has you command a growing selection of supernatural sailors, each with their own abilities that complement each other. There is a variety of valid approaches to each mission, and its forgiving time rewind function means it does away with any frustration. If you're a fan of strategy titles, this should be on your radar.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun (PS4)

$3.99/£3.29 (-90%)

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a fantastic stealth-strategy game that you rarely see these days. Set in ancient Japan, you control various characters with different skills as you sneak through picturesque environments. There's real depth to the gameplay here and lots to see and do, so if you're in the mood for some tactical thinking, this is a strong move.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance (PS5)

$20.99/£17.49 (-30%)

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is hard to fault. We can take or leave the story, the platforming is occasionally frustrating, and levels can outstay their welcome sometimes — but that's basically it. This is otherwise a brilliant 2D action platformer that looks gorgeous and plays even better thanks to kinetic, satisfying combat that feels superb when you get in the flow. If this is any indicator of SEGA's other upcoming franchise revivals, we're in for some good times ahead.

Silent Hill 2 (PS5)

$34.99/£29.99 (-50%)

Comfortably one of the greatest remakes around — especially when you narrow it down to the survival horror genre — Silent Hill 2 is a triumph of a resurrection from Bloober Team and Konami. The vast majority of the original PS2 masterpiece is faithfully brought back with modern visuals and gameplay design, and then expanded upon in all the right ways with bigger areas to explore and then new endings. Silent Hill 2 remains just as incredible as it did back in 2001 thanks to the delicate and appreciated work of Bloober Team.

Silent Hill F (PS5)

$41.99/£41.99 (-40%)

Silent Hill F takes the survival horror series in a new direction, which pays off for the most part. It’s quite different, and hardcore fans will have to accept that. Combat is a heavy focus, and the move to Japan means there’s a different kind of tone and atmosphere in the air. Technical problems aside, it marks a bold new chapter in the Silent Hill saga. Accept it for what it is, and you’ll find one of PS5’s most intense experiences.
