80+ PS5, PS4 Games You Should Buy in PS Store's Spring Sale

Spyro: Reignited Trilogy (PS4)

$13.99/£12.24 (-65%)

Before Ratchet & Clank, Resistance, and Spider-Man, it was Spyro that gave Insomniac Games its big break on PS1. That first trio of action platformers was wonderful back in the late 90s, but they're even better in Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, a vibrant PS4 remake. It features all three classics with a gorgeous, cartoonish visual makeover and modernised controls. The result is a nostalgic package that equally pleases old fans and new ones alike.

Star Wars Battlefront Ultimate Edition

$4.99/£4.49 (-75%)

Star Wars Battlefront was later supplanted by its sequel, but the original game laid down a very solid foundation. Using its experience on the Battlefield series, DICE brought back the Battlefront name with a great multiplayer shooter. It was somewhat lacking in content at launch, but what was there looked, sounded, and felt great.

Stellar Blade (PS5)

$49.69/£52.49 (-29%/-25%)

Console debuts simply don’t get much stronger than Stellar Blade, a throwback combat-centric adventure that channels retro PS2 energy in all the best ways. This sturdy single player campaign has a strong visual identity, a stunning soundtrack, and some outstanding art direction. It’s also bursting with unlockable, off-the-beaten-path content, like a bunch of outfits and accessories you can unlock.

Synth Riders (PS5)

$14.99/£11.99 (-40%)

Synth Riders is one of our favourite PSVR games, so it's great to see it come to PSVR2 in this remastered package. Following the colour-coded notes with your hands, this is a fantastic rhythm game supported by a brilliant soundtrack of nearly 60 tunes. The PSVR2 version features sharper graphics, improved controller tracking, and neat use of haptics to help you keep the beat. If you're a fan of rhythm games, flailing your arms around, or both, this is practically a must-play.

Tchia (PS5)

$11.99/£9.99 (-60%)

While it takes inspiration from a multitude of other titles, there are no other games quite like Tchia. Set in a fictional version of New Caledonia, you play as a girl who must rescue her father from a mysterious group. Before you reach that point, though, you've a whole archipelago you can freely explore, and it's stuffed with things to see and do. By possessing various objects and animals, you can truly see the map from all angles, then chill out by playing Tchia's ukulele at any time. Full of unique charm, this is an ambitious sandbox that's just fun to toy with.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection (PS5)

$15.99/£13.99 (-60%)

The retro-reviving masters at Digital Eclipse have compiled the Cowabunga Collection, a game comprising pretty much all the beloved TMNT games from back in the day. Each game has save and rewind features as well as custom button mapping, and some have even been updated with full online play, bringing these old school titles into the 21st century. With some true arcade classics, there's a huge amount of turtle-tainment to be had here, and that's before you get into the behind-the-scenes stuff — development art, sketches, and TMNT-related media is thrown in too.

Tetris Effect (PS5)

$23.99/£20.99 (-40%)

Tetris Effect was great on PS4, but its PS5 version just takes things up a notch. Merging that classic falling block game with mesmerising visuals and entrancing music, it's an amazing experience that truly sings in 4K and HDR. We'd highly recommend playing it on your TV, but it's also brilliant in PSVR2. There's little sacrifice to picture quality, and the extra immersion you feel with the special effects swirling all around you is awesome. With so many modes to enjoy, this is the ultimate Tetris experience on PlayStation.

The Crew Motorfest (PS5)

$20.99/£20.99 (-70%)

Ubisoft's open world racing series shrinks down for The Crew Motorfest, swapping out the entirety of the United States in favour of a smaller but more fleshed out Hawaii. The more focused setting makes it feel much more alive and rich, and the driving itself is leaps and bounds ahead of previous entries, providing the best Crew experience yet. Its carousel of diverse event types and wide range of vehicles — including boats and planes — means there's always something fresh to do, too.

The Forgotten City (PS5)

$8.99/£7.49 (-70%)

For fans of storytelling, The Forgotten City is a solid recommendation. Freed from the shackles of Skyrim, the full game tells a captivating story elevated by clever and humorous writing. With the interesting time loop mechanic creating further situations full of comedy and intrigue, settling down across a few evenings with The Forgotten City will delight. We just wish the combat was either improved or not there at all, and the technical setbacks weren't quite so rampant.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III (PS4)

$23.99/£19.99 (-60%)

A leap forward from the first two Cold Steel titles thanks to a new engine, Trails of Cold Steel III sees a slightly older Rean Schwarzer return to his beloved Thors Military Academy as an instructor. Guiding an all-new Class VII in their special ops missions, it isn't long until old friends (and old enemies) start popping up in what is often an engrossing character-driven story. What's more, Cold Steel III makes some fantastic additions to the series' already great turn-based combat system, while larger environments offer so many opportunities for exploration. One of Falcom's finest.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV (PS4)

$23.99/£19.99 (-60%)

Bringing a bombastic end to the Cold Steel saga, Trails of Cold Steel IV attempts to tie four games' worth of stories up across an adventure that can last well over 100 hours. A daunting prospect, but developer Falcom somehow makes it work — and that's perhaps Cold Steel IV's most impressive achievement. This is as dense as Trails games get, both in terms of storytelling and gameplay. The series' turn-based combat has been adjusted for better balance, there's a greater sense of freedom to exploration, and a huge roster of playable party members allows for some serious tactical tinkering. A deeply engrossing, often brilliant finale.

The Nioh Collection (PS5)

$29.39/£34.99 (-58%/-50%)

Team Ninja's answer to the popular Dark Souls series is Nioh, a punishing but satisfying action RPG based on Japanese history and folklore. The Nioh Collection on PS5 brings the two titles together in one package. Fortunately, both games are excellent — fairly linear but featuring fast, deadly melee combat that has you swapping between stances to gain the upper hand. The pair of games are remastered for the up-to-date hardware, running at up to 120 frames-per-second on the right display, and support DualSense's haptics and adaptive triggers. Two cracking action titles for the price of one, and looking and playing better than ever on PS5? A no-brainer.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition (PS5)

$9.99/£6.99 (-80%)

Seven years later, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is still one of the absolute best RPGs around. This updated PS5 version only adds a little bit of new content in the form of costumes and a (actually fantastic) quest inspired by the Netflix series, but the visuals are better than ever thanks to improved assets, textures, lighting, and even a dedicated ray tracing mode. What's more, a number of small gameplay improvements really add up, resulting in the definitive edition of Geralt's generational adventure. If you've got the urge for yet another replay, then it's best done on PS5 with what is the best looking and best playing version of The Witcher 3.

Toem (PS5)

$3.99/£3.19 (-80%)

Toem takes the idea of a game about photography and twists it into something unique. Framed as a cutesy, top-down adventure game, you play as a young explorer on a pilgrimage to the mountaintop, snapping photos along the way. You can whip out your camera at any point, and the game swaps to first-person, giving you a new perspective on the black-and-white world. Helping out a colourful cast of characters, discovering all sorts of cool secrets, and solving imaginative puzzles mean this short but sweet indie game stands out.

Trails through Daybreak (PS5)

$47.99/£39.99 (-20%)

Trails through Daybreak marks the beginning of a brand new saga in Falcom's Trails series, taking players on a trip to the Republic of Calvard — a key location that's being fully explored for the first time in the franchise. Equipped with a more mature tone and darker story beats, Daybreak feels like a real step forward from past titles in terms of narrative stakes. What's more, a much improved engine allows Falcom to craft some of its biggest and best-looking environments to date, while a suite of gameplay adjustments — and key additions — make for a fantastic combat system. Daybreak is arguably the most 'standalone' Trails release yet, and as such, it's a recommended starting point for newcomers.

Venba (PS5)

$7.49/£5.99 (-50%)

Venba is a heartfelt narrative adventure about a family, and how they connect via the medium of food. To say much more would give away what makes the game special; it's the definition of short but sweet, combining cooking with a meaningful, earnest story about family and the challenges of life.

Viewfinder (PS5)

$12.49/£9.99 (-50%)

If you're looking for a very different style of puzzle game, Viewfinder is well worth checking out. This first-person puzzler's innovative mechanic is all about taking photographs of the environment, then stamping that picture down and, wherever you've placed it, it'll become a 3D part of the space. While we can take or leave the story, the puzzles themselves are inventive and really encourage some outside-the-box thinking.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (PS5)

$45.49/£38.99 (-35%)

Capturing the heart and soul of Warhammer 40k isn't easy, but Space Marine 2 is just about as good as it gets. This gory third-person action-shooter is a brilliantly robust adaptation, boasting a well-paced campaign (that can be played in co-op), a full set of online co-op missions, and even competitive multiplayer. In many ways it's a throwback to simpler times, when such shooters were so common, but it brings the brutality forward with some stunning visuals and a deeply satisfying, visceral combat system. A damn good time for everyone involved (except the Tyranids, obviously).

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (PS4)

$5.99/£4.94 (-85%)

As is the case with DOOM, Bethesda’s staked its claim as the masters of reviving old-school first-person franchises. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus has all of the camp European eccentricities of its predecessor, but it presents them all in the context of a Nazi occupied United States. With bone-rattling gunplay and an engaging storyline, B.J. Blazkowicz is not past it yet.

Yoku's Island Express (PS4)

$3.99/£3.19 (-80%)

Yoku's Island Express is an adorable and unique platforming adventure that incorporates pinball-style mechanics into its world and design. Adopting a Metroidvania structure, you'll ping around the map solving puzzles and unlocking new skills. With lovely visuals and a truly unique gameplay cocktail, this is a PS4 curio you shouldn't skip.
