Vanillaware’s immaculate track record could have easily gone off the rails with 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim — a visual novel and strategy hybrid that’s a far cry from the action RPGs that the studio has become known for. But the finished product is arguably the developer’s most impactful game yet. Fantastic characters and a an utterly gripping narrative make 13 Sentinels a borderline masterpiece in terms of storytelling. A genuine treat for your eyes and your brain.

It’s very hard not to love Ace Attorney, and that trend happily continues with the Apollo Justice trilogy. The games themselves are steeped in charm thanks to well-written, melodramatic stories and a great ensemble cast. They’ve been treated with respect, too, with lovely visual improvements and an enjoyable array of extras. While some weak spots here and there are inevitable, and some of the series’ flaws are still present, overall there’s little to object to.
$8.99/£8.24 (-85%)
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is much more of an open world RPG than it is a traditional Assassin’s Creed title. The second instalment in the series’ “open world trilogy”, this ancient Greek adventure may overlook a lot of the game design that defined its predecessors, but there’s no denying that its interlocking RPG systems make for a deep and engaging experience. Levelling up, loot, skill trees, and randomised elements like bounty-hunting mercenaries all play a part across a truly gigantic map. The story’s not bad either, as protagonist Alexios or Kassandra embarks on a branching journey to learn the truth about his or her legendary bloodline.
$39.59/£42.59 (-34%/-29%)
Building upon the great foundations laid in Astro’s Playroom, Astro Bot is the full-blown 3D platformer the little robot deserves. It’s an explosion of creativity and fun; there is something new to discover in practically every level, and all of it is purpose built to put a smile on your face. Not only is it bursting with imagination, it’s also executed brilliantly. The controls are spot on, every new mechanic and power-up is fun to use, and it’s all presented with incredibly sharp visuals and flawless performance. The icing on the cake is its celebration of PlayStation’s past 30 years, with delightful nods to hundreds of classics. We can’t recommend this highly enough.
$23.99/£19.99 (-60%)
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden marries an excellent narrative with engaging and enjoyable gameplay. Poor enemy variety and technical flaws hold it back from true greatness, but its excellent, story-focused side quests on the other side make a few drab combat encounters worth pushing through. The studio’s best game to date, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a new IP we hope is here to stay.
$59.49/£59.49 (-15%)
Battlefield 6 is a phenomenal multiplayer experience that immerses and impresses with its chaotic mix of tight gunplay, best-in-class audio design, and the cinematic flair that made us love the series in the first place. The campaign isn’t anything to write home about, and Portal has yet to fully prove its worth, but they act as additions to what is easily the best Battlefield in over a decade.
$9.99/£8.74 (-75%)
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a wonderful love letter to Castlevania fans. It’s gothy, camp, and unabashedly old school. But it’s also a meticulously crafted game that constantly rewards players for exploration and offers unbridled options in combat. For long-time Metroidvania fans, Ritual of the Night is an unmissable celebration of the genre from the mind of one if its chief architects, while for newcomers it’s an accessible entry-point that’s easy to pick up and oh so difficult to put down.
$5.99/£5.99 (-90%)
Gearbox’s popular looter shooter is back in typical style with Borderlands 3, and it looks and plays better than ever on PS5. While it doesn’t innovate on older entries all that much, the third game in the franchise is probably the best. Improved gameplay makes the act of firing weapons a joy, there’s a tonne of variety in quests and guns, and that signature love-or-hate humour is very much in place. It shines brightest on Sony’s current-gen machine, too, thanks to boosted visuals and up to 120 frames-per-second on the right display. There are few better co-op shooters out there — this is an absolute blast with friends, whether playing locally or online.
$6.79/£5.43 (-66%)
Braid is undoubtedly a classic that revolutionized the indie game landscape, and it still has enough unique ideas to make it worth a playthrough for the first time today. Whether or not the Anniversary Edition is worth it, however, will largely depend on your experience with the original. For newcomers, the enhanced graphics and extra levels make this the definitive edition, and worthy of a purchase. Similarly, up-and-coming game developers will find lots of love and advice poured into the game’s comprehensive commentary system.
$4.99/£3.99 (-50%)
From the makers of TowerFall Ascension, Celeste is a pure platformer that provides a stern challenge. Using a straightforward set of moves, it does a lot with very little, but it’s not just gameplay where it impresses. Madeline’s climb up Celeste Mountain is both literal and metaphorical as she struggles to overcome her inner demons. Wonderfully pairing a touching story with rock solid platforming, this is one indie adventure that’ll stay with you.
$9.99/£7.99 (-50%)
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.
$39.99/£35.99 (-20%)
Inspired by RPGs new and old, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG with the whole package. Set against the backdrop of a bleak mystery, the game sees a group travelling across a magical landscape to finally put a stop to the enigmatic Paintress and her deadly countdown. While the characters, story, and music all shine, it’s the combat that stands out most, with each party member having totally unique mechanics that can complement the others. On top of that, quick-time events and the ability to dodge or parry incoming attacks keeps it feeling active and engaging. There are some rough edges here and there, but by and large, this is an RPG any fan of the genre shouldn’t miss.
$12.49/£9.99 (-50%)
Cocoon is a brilliant puzzle game with effortlessly elegant design. Playing as some sort of space bug, you can pick up special orbs you discover, but put them on special plinths and you can enter those orbs to discover completely new worlds. Each sphere holds its own environment with its own puzzles to solve, and you’ll need to swap between them, take some worlds inside others, and more to conquer this mind-bending experience. All done with extremely simple controls and not a single line of dialogue, Cocoon is an incredible, intuitive, and memorable game.
$11.99/£9.59 (-40%)
Dave the Diver, like the sea, is far deeper than you think it is. It charms with its attractive visuals and addictive loop of diving for fish and running a restaurant, but it never rests on its laurels, always finding new ways to enhance the fun. There’s never a dull moment, whether it’s a whole new feature expanding the gameplay, an unexpected new story beat, or another hilarious cutscene to enjoy. It’s this constant reinvention and surprise that makes the game so compelling, even through the occasional rougher moments. If you’ve yet to experience it for yourself, we’d highly encourage that you take the plunge.
$12.49/£11.24 (-75%)
It took nearly 10 years to materialise, but against all odds, Dead Island 2 is a great zombie-slaying adventure. Set in Los Angeles, you work your way through various open levels as you fend off the undead with a wide variety of weapons and abilities. The story isn’t anything too special, but the game makes up for it with gloriously gory action and a rounded, well-realised setting. If you just want to smash open some zombie skulls, look no further.
$10.49/£10.49 (-85%)
One of EA’s best-loved games returns with this PS5 remake of Dead Space. Retelling the original story of Isaac Clarke exploring the decimated corridors of the USG Ishimura, this updated version is more than just a fresh coat of paint. On top of modern visuals, the remake turns the ship into one interconnected environment, expands many areas, adds voice acting for Isaac, and more. Aside from all that, this is the same great Dead Space you remember — intense atmosphere, unique enemies and weapons, and a memorable story.
$49.69/£52.49 (-29%/-25%)
Masterful in its storytelling, characters, and visuals, Kojima Productions went bigger and better with a sequel that comfortably dwarfs what the Japanese team achieved in its first delivery experience. Main character Sam is once again tasked with reconnecting a land mass to the chiral network, but this time his deliveries are further and expanded to encompass proper combat scenarios. Death Stranding 2 is a cinematic achievement on all fronts that will remain one of the crown jewels of the PS5 library forever.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero brings back the fan favourite Budokai Tenkaichi series in all but name, and the result is great.

It also features a vague retelling of the saga, where you’re able to view the story from new perspectives, plus you can craft your own scenarios to live out even the unlikeliest of rivalries. It’s a feature-packed arena fighter that looks fantastic and delivers a super satisfying power fantasy.
