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.

While many of the included games may border on unplayable from a modern perspective, the painstaking attention to detail in Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is extremely easy to appreciate. The museum-like carousel of content, from interviews through to original artwork, is presented so handsomely that you can’t not get swept up in Atari’s dramatic story. And the fact that there over 100 of the company’s most famous titles, emulated excellently with their original instruction manuals available to pore over, adds playable context to a lot of the content. This is just an impressive overall experience that will appeal to those who lived through the rise (and fall) of Atari, as well as younger players eager to learn a little more about one of the industry’s true pioneers.
$11.99/£9.59 (-40%)
Cat Quest 3 builds upon the first two entries in this cult favourite series, offering up maybe the best one yet. With a pirate theme introducing nautical traversal and combat, this is a more expansive action RPG that keeps things simple, with that signature illustrated art style and cheeky humour. Those after a lighthearted adventure need look no further.
$13.99/£13.99 (-80%)
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.
$19.99/£17.99 (-60%)
Death Stranding Director’s Cut takes the truly unique “strand game” adventure and dials things up a notch for PS5. Hideo Kojima and his team created a haunting and strange world with the original game, tasking players with traversing a desolate and dangerous landscape to make deliveries. It shouldn’t work, but it does — every step you take can be a risk, and this need to watch your footing is an interesting way to create tension, especially when those nasty BTs show up. Director’s Cut enhances the experience with improved graphics and performance, DualSense support, 3D audio, and a range of new content.
$29.39/£34.99 (-58%/-50%)
Sony comfortably hooked the enthusiast crowd by adding Demon’s Souls to the PS5’s launch lineup. FromSoftware’s legendary action RPG – which would go on to spawn the so-called Soulsborne series and, eventually, even Elden Ring – was snubbed by the Japanese giant during the PS3 era, as it felt early builds were simply not up to snuff. Publishers like Atlus and Bandai Namco eventually picked it up, and it went on to become a cult classic. Perhaps as a tacit admission that it made a mistake, its recruited tech specialists Bluepoint Games to remake the game for a modern era – and the results are remarkable. This version uses original PS3 code to make for an incredibly authentic experience, but its visuals are among some of the best you’ll find on Sony’s new-gen console. It’s an extraordinary blend of old and new that comes highly recommended.
$9.59/£6.71 (-84%/-86%)
One of the greatest anime-based fighting games ever, Dragon Ball FighterZ is a masterclass in adapting an existing franchise. Bandai Namco wanted a Dragon Ball title that could stand on a tournament stage, and so it recruited the fighting game geniuses at Arc System Works. The result is a downright stunning, but also brilliantly deep team-based brawler. It has a few too many Gokus in its character roster, perhaps, but that’s a minor criticism when the game’s in full flow. A joyous, competitive celebration of Akira Toriyama’s timeless creation.
$12.49£9.99 (-50%)
The best thing about Dredge is its ingenious core concept. Playing as a hard-working fisherman, it’s your job to go out into the open waters, catch fish, then sell them to fishmongers for a tidy sum. Using the money you earn and the resources you find, you’ll slowly upgrade your trawler to become a more capable vessel. This would be enough on its own to provide a good time, but the spooky twist means there’s a near-constant sense of, well, dread. As you progress, more and more eldritch horrors will present themselves, challenging your impulse to fish into the night by creeping you out with weird visions and inexplicable dangers. An eerie game that reels you in with its moreish gameplay loop.
$6.49/£3.99 (-50%)
Fez has been around longer than the PS4, but Phil Fish’s puzzle platformer has stood the test of time. It remains a brilliantly unique game, with its dimension-flipping core mechanic leading to some astonishing twists and turns. As you run and jump through the (seemingly) 2D world, the game unfolds a grander mystery that’s a joy to discover. It’s a poster child for indie games for a reason.
$15.19/£15.19 (-62%)
There’s no denying that Final Fantasy VII Remake is one of the best Final Fantasy games in years, and Intergrade is the icing on the cake. Yes, it’s only one part of the story, and yes, a few of the, er, changes are going to annoy some fans forevermore, but there’s a healthy helping of Final Fantasy VII magic at the heart of Remake. Whether it’s in the way that the characters have been re-realised or the outstanding boss fights (and excellent combat system), charging through Remake is a rewarding experience — especially if you’re big on nostalgia.
$55.99/£55.99 (-20%)
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is just good old fashioned fun. Its simplistic gameplay lets it down a little, but with vibrant environments brought to life with stunning detail, excellent writing and performances across the board, and a fun globe-trotting Indy adventure that nails the tone and feel of the film series, we had a blast from start to finish. If you’ve been holding off from playing The Great Circle, then now is the time. The PS5 takes an already brilliant adventure and makes it even better.
$7.99/£6.39 (-60%)
A game quite unlike any other, Inscryption combines cards with horror and mystery in some truly unexpected ways. What starts off as a perfectly good roguelike turn-based card game quickly starts to go off the rails as you learn more and more about the world’s lore, leading to some brilliant twists and turns in the story. To say much more would spoil the experience.
£41.99 (-30%)
The first Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a demanding historical RPG that slowly became a cult classic over the course of years — and this sequel sticks rather rigidly to its predecessor’s blueprint. Having said that, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 improves on just about everything; it’s a bigger, much more dynamic open world adventure, stuffed with captivating side quests and fantastic characters. It’s also a deeply immersive experience, forcing players to survive and eventually thrive within a punishing recreation of 15th century Europe. If you can gel with it, Deliverance 2 is easily one of the most engrossing role-playing experiences that you’ll find on PS5.
$27.99/£23.99 (-60%)
With the best turn-based gameplay, the biggest and best cast of characters, and the most gripping story in the series so far, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is comfortably the greatest Yakuza game to date. Ichican and Kiryu hit up the new destination of Hawaii in search of the former’s long-lost mother, but their quest really is just the tip of the iceberg. Improved combat makes fights more engaging than ever, upgraded graphics bring new life to classic locations like Kamurocho, and deep and fascinating characters both new and old mean you won’t want to stop playing until the credits roll. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth really is RGG Studio at its peak.
$38.49/£32.99 (-45%)
The team behind the Persona series presents its take on a fantasy RPG with Metaphor: ReFantazio. Structured very similarly to its stablemates, this game has you exploring a realm filled with monsters, monarchy, and magic, and is just as stylish too, with gorgeous presentation throughout. Presenting players with one of the best RPG stories in recent memory, engaging combat, and rewarding gameplay systems, this is yet another banger from Atlus.
$16.49/£14.84 (-67%)
Mortal Kombat 1 revamps the storyline of this enduring fighting game series, with all the characters you know and love reimagined in a new timeline. This makes for a brilliant (and violent) romp, turning unlikely pairs into firm allies in a high quality story mode. Once you’re done with that, the game has plenty more to do: experiment with the new Kameo system; play the board game-like Invasion mode; and get a bit more lore on all the fighters in the arcade-like Tower mode. While the core fighting hasn’t evolved all that much, this is still arguably the best Mortal Kombat yet, and will certainly be supported for a long time.
$13.99/£11.19 (-30%)
A follow-up to the picturesque platformer GRIS, Neva is just as beautiful. Featuring truly gorgeous art and animation, this game is a little more action-packed as you follow young woman Alba and her companion wolf through a treacherous land. It’s not the deepest game in the world, but it really packs an emotional punch thanks to its incredible presentation.
$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.
$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.
£11.89 (-66%)
Overcooked: All You Can Eat serves up everything from Overcooked and Overcooked 2 in one delicious meal. All that content has been refreshed and remastered, with online play now spread across both games, and even more DLC added on top. The brilliance of this series is how it forces you to truly work together — if you don’t, chaos can quickly take hold, and you’ll never get those three-star ratings on each level. It’s also extremely accessible, with easy-to-grasp controls and objectives. Looking better than ever on PS5, it’s the ultimate way to enjoy one of the best co-op party games in recent memory.
$9.99/£8.99 (-50%)
Considered to be one of the most memorable Japanese RPGs of all time, Persona 4 Golden is an excellent video game. Set in the sleepy town of Inaba, you strive to solve a series of strange murders, all while exploring an abstract world that exists inside of TVs. Initially released on PS Vita, the excellent turn-based combat and a brilliant cast of characters will engross you just as much on PS4. The sheer style of Persona 4, along with its outstanding soundtrack, are just the icing on this deliciously golden cake.
$12.49/£9.99 (-50%)
Some simulation games are just work, but when the work is this satisfying, it doesn’t really matter. PowerWash Simulator recreates the gratifying feeling of pressure washing away layers of dirt to reveal the glistening surfaces beneath, and it’s deliciously addictive. Through a combination of excellent sound design, large, intricate levels, and various equipment to use and upgrade, developer FuturLab has landed on a simple but oh so satisfying formula that’s fun in co-op and almost meditative in single-player.
