10. Bugsnax (PS5)

Bugsnax might have won people over with a catchy theme song, but it's far more than just that. It lures you in with its whimsical style and silly concept, and then quickly subverts expectations with surprisingly emotional story beats. Your main tasks in the game are to catch the titular creatures and find out what happened to the leader of an expedition to the island. Figuring out how to capture each Bugsnak is fun, collecting them is addictive, and learning more about the colourful cast will keep you engaged. It's a unique flavour combo, but it works.

9. Tentacular (PS5)

If you're a fan of physics-based silliness, Tentacular should be on your radar. This PSVR2 game casts you as a giant sea creature, replacing your arms with tentacles with which to cause some chaos. The inhabitants of a small town will ask for your help, and you'll use your new appendages to solve puzzles, use tools, and build contraptions. It's a great all-ages game that would be a good first VR experience.

8. Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 (PS5)

Two of the industry’s puzzle titans clash in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, the sequel to SEGA’s absurdly addictive block-stacking mash-up. With support for up to four different players, and a variety of curiously compelling modes – including the bonkers Fusion, which sees you managing a board of Tetraminos and Puyos simultaneously – this vibrant outing will have you hooked from the very first line you clear. If you’re a fan of single player campaigns, then there’s even a cute story you can play through, and you can collect cards to boost your abilities in the brand new Skill Battle mode.

7. Chicory: A Colorful Tale (PS5)

If you're looking for a breather after those big, violent blockbusters, Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a perfect antidote. This charming indie game will pull you in with its adorable characters and cartoonish aesthetic, but it pairs all that with compelling gameplay and a touching story. You wield a magical brush with which you can paint the environment however you see fit, and you'll also use colour to solve puzzles and even fight bosses, solo or in co-op. An imaginative and heartfelt game.

6. Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel (PS5)

If you enjoy the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game, odds are you'll love Master Duel. This is a nicely presented digital version of the card game you know and love, letting you battle it out against rival duelists in free-to-play online bouts. It also supports cross-play and cross-progression, meaning you can play against others on any platform, and carry your progress over to other machines. With over 10,000 cards included, you're able to rebuild your real-life decks and put them to the test in numerous tournaments. It's obviously a game for fans, but it also includes tutorials for beginners if you want to try Yu-Gi-Oh for the first time.
