Slay the Spire (PS4)

The combination of deck building and roguelike elements means Slay the Spire was always going to have limited appeal, but it's an intelligently designed, very addictive game. Tasking players with defeating enemies by utilising clever combinations of cards, you move up the titular spire, encountering tougher challenges and exciting bosses. With four very different characters (and decks of cards), all kinds of clever synergies to discover, and multiple ways to play, this is a truly fantastic game.

Moons of Madness (PS4)

Being stuck on Mars with a terrifying creature is perfect video game fodder. But Moons of Madness also features intricate Lovecraftian themes and interesting sci-fi puzzle mechanics to bolster its excellent premise. Perhaps what makes it so successful, though, is the lack of weaponry. In this horror game, it’s very much mind over matter.

Onrush (PS4)

Onrush alienated some racing game fans because there's no traditional racing mode. Instead focusing on objective-based modes for two teams, this isn't your usual racer, but that shouldn't put you off. Various vehicle classes all have strengths and weaknesses, there's a wide variety of modes and tracks, and the action itself is wonderfully over-the-top. A shame it didn't take off, as there's a lot to like here.

Zombie Army 4: Dead War (PS4)

Blasting shuffling armies of undead makes for fantastic gameplay, and Zombie Army 4: Dead War is no exception to that rule. Though the main campaign is engaging, the real star of Dead War is the fast-paced co-op mode, which serves up a guaranteed thrill for any team of zombie hunters.

My Time at Portia (PS4)

Life-simulation games are huge right now, but with the likes of Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley hogging the spotlight, sometimes smaller indie life-sims get overlooked. The criminally underrated My Time at Portia tasks players with managing a post-apocalyptic farm, building up your town’s central hub by helping other characters in the charming world. It’s a relaxing game and one that deserves a lot more attention.
