DOOM Eternal (PS5)

$9.99/£8.74 (-75%)

If you like your first-person shooters fast, demanding, and bloody, DOOM Eternal is the peak. A fantastic gameplay loop means you're constantly on the move and playing aggressively, earning more ammo and health by getting right up in those demonic faces and literally ripping them a new one. On PS5, it's somehow even better, with three visual modes — including one with ray tracing — and DualSense support. A brilliant FPS that really sings on Sony's current hardware.

Dragon's Dogma 2 (PS5)

$39.89/£31.79 (-43%/-47%)

A long-awaited sequel to Capcom's cult classic action RPG, Dragon's Dogma 2 is another combat-focused romp, boasting some of the best and most dynamic monster-slaying skirmishes you'll find in gaming. The exploration is also incredibly immersive, as your custom character and their AI-driven allies brave beast-infested roads, caves, and ruins, all in the name of completing quests. The story's a little undercooked, but few games capture the spirit of adventure quite like Dragon's Dogma 2.

Dying Light 2 (PS5)

$19.79/£18.14 (-67%)

The original Dying Light game might have gone under the radar critically, but it certainly sold impressively well on PS4. As such, expectations were high for this PS5 sequel, with developer Techland promising all sorts of narrative choices and intriguing story beats. And while the finished product didn't live up to those claims, the actual open world title is still a fun one. Looking for something to turn your brain off to and start slicing and dicing the undead? You can't do much better than Dying Light 2. Complete with an awesome parkour moveset, traversal has never felt this good.

Elden Ring (PS5)

$35.99/£29.99 (-40%)

Elden Ring’s crowning achievement is taking a relatively niche gameplay loop – refined over the years with Demon’s Souls, Bloodborne, et al – and presenting it to the masses. FromSoftware’s open world magnum opus is a staggering achievement: a sandbox bursting at the seams with vulgar secrets, all presented with enough ambiguity to make combing every square inch of its dramatic Lands Between backdrop feel like true discovery. With a complex combat system enabling an eclectic array of gameplay styles, and some of the most devilish encounters in gaming history, this is an unmissable experience – and then some.

God of War III Remastered (PS4)

$9.99/£7.99 (-50%)

God of War III Remastered may have been one of the last hurrahs for the series’ old-school, fixed perspective style – but it’s still an absolute doozy. Presented pristinely on PS4, this trilogy closer has some of the most epic moments you’ll find any console, including an opening boss fight against Poseidon that remains utterly jaw-dropping even today.

Grounded (PS5)

$19.99/£16.49 (-50%)

A brilliantly conceived co-op game, Grounded sees you shrunk to the size of an ant and trying to survive in your parent's backyard. You'll need to scavenge for resources, manage your vitals, and deal with all kinds of insects, like spiders and bugs.

Guilty Gear Strive (PS5)

$19.99/£14.99 (-50%)

The PS5's first native fighting game has set the bar very, very high. Guilty Gear Strive is a superb brawler, bolstered by jaw-dropping visuals and the best online netcode that we've ever experienced in a fighting game. A relatively small but brilliantly diverse character roster allows for a deep and hugely rewarding experience, while accessible gameplay mechanics on a base level pave the way for new players. A stunning beat-'em-up backed by an incredible heavy rock soundtrack.

Haven (PS5)

$9.99/£7.99 (-60%)

A touching sci-fi love story, Haven is about a young couple who flee to an alien planet together. Portrayed through a vibrant art style and elevated by a stunning electronic soundtrack, this is a memorable adventure, and a sharp reminder that we need more tales of surprisingly mature romance in video games. Between its generally relaxing, floaty exploration and rhythm-based battle system, Haven does have a few slightly rough edges — but don't let that turn you away from the power of love.

Helldivers 2 (PS5)

$31.99/£27.99 (-20%)

Live service executed effortlessly, Helldivers 2’s success can be attributed to Arrowhead putting gameplay ahead of business models. The game’s systemic approach means cinematic moments unfold emergently, as part of the co-operative action and physics at play. Doing your part has never felt quite so good.

Hogwarts Legacy (PS5)

$17.49/£16.24 (-75%)

Taking place hundreds of years before the events of Harry Potter, Hogwarts Legacy finally lets fans live out their dream of attending the eponymous school. While there's an intriguing story to follow that takes you far beyond the castle itself, this RPG's strengths are all in the smaller things. The school is a joy to explore, as are the surrounding grounds, because of an obsessive attention to detail that really does imbue the open world with magic. Layer on top solid spell-based combat, flying on your broom, and even rearing magical creatures, and the result is a real crowd-pleaser — and definitely the best game in the franchise.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged (PS5)

$7.49/£6.74 (-85%)

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is a highly polished, fast-paced, fun, and robust racing sequel that builds upon its predecessor in all the right ways. Addressing almost all our criticisms of the previous title by adding impressive core mechanic modifications in the form of jumps, dashes, and new terrains, removing loot boxes, and adding obstacle immunity skills, Milestone has created a fantastic follow-up arcade racer to be reckoned with.

Humanity (PS5)

$14.99/£12.49 (-50%)

The easiest way to describe Humanity is to imagine a sort-of surreal 3D take on Lemmings. This unique puzzle game has you guiding a stream of humans to the end goal of each stage, but doing so will involve steering them around obstacles, launching them across chasms, and even doing battle with enemies. With super imaginative design and even a full-fledged level editor, this is a fantastic game that, for PlayStation fans, feels like an old school Japan Studio oddity.

Katamari Damacy Reroll (PS4)

$7.49/£6.24 (-75%)

The beloved cult classic returns in Katamari Damacy Reroll, a joyous remaster of the PS2 roll-'em-up. The King of All Cosmos has sent you down to Earth to roll up all manner of objects to create stars, and while the controls take a little getting used to, it remains a very fun, arcade-like experience. Satisfying, fast-paced, and unshakeably odd, there's nothing quite like this series, and the first game arguably does it best.

Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series (PS5)

$9.99/£8.99 (-75%/-80%)

Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series is a remaster that brings together two cult classic platformers under one banner. These colourful games look better than ever here, presenting the simple but enjoyable side-scrolling adventures in 4K on PS5. With some quality-of-life improvements and adjustable difficulty, this collection is a highly accessible set of games that players of all ages will enjoy.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (PS5)

$11.99/£9.99 (-80%)

The force is strong with this one. While there have been several instalments in the past, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the culmination of TT Games' previous efforts. Encompassing all nine mainline movies, this is a huge platformer adventure featuring all the most iconic sequences you remember from the big screen. When you're not progressing the story, it turns into a sandbox, letting you explore myriad locations from the films and play as one of hundreds of characters. Its gameplay is also more modern than the older LEGO Star Wars titles, sharpening up shooting and making combat more exciting. There's so much to see and do here that Star Wars fans need not play anything else for a while.

Lies of P (PS5)

$35.99/£29.99 (-40%)

Lies of P is one of the best Souls games not made by FromSoftware. Distinct in direction, tone, and style having leant into an evil take on the classic Pinocchio story, the journey through Krat is a memorable one thanks to solid combat, impressive customisation options, and unique art. If you've completed every FromSoftware experience multiple times over and you're looking for the next Souls-like hit, Lies of P is up there with the very best.

Lumines Remastered (PS4)

$4.49/£3.59 (-70%)

Lumines Remastered brings back one of PSP's best games on PS4, allowing you to get lost in its rhythmic puzzle action once again. Once you're used to the surprisingly tricky gameplay, which involves making same-colour squares from mixed up blocks, it feels fantastic to play. Much like Tetris, it's super satisfying to see how far you can go, keeping the board as clear as possible as you listen to catchy music and watch dazzling effects. With various modes and online leaderboards to enjoy, Lumines remains a modern classic puzzler.

Mafia: Definitive Edition (PS4)

$7.99/£6.99 (-80%)

Remakes don’t really get much better than Mafia: Definitive Edition. This extended version of 2K Czech’s bona fide PS2 crime classic is dripping with atmosphere, and a real standout narrative-driven experience. With tons of little time appropriate touches, like radio broadcasts and period-accurate newspaper clippings, this is the kind of open world you can really embed yourself in.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (PS5)

$8.99/£8.24 (-85%)

A superhero game from Square Enix is enough for hardcore PlayStation players to proceed with caution after Marvel's Avengers, but developer Eidos Montreal has done Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy proud with a faithful, funny, and thoroughly enjoyable campaign based on original storytelling. It's a meaty one too, lasting north of 20 hours. The characters of Drax, Groot, Rocket, and Gamora are just as you remember them from the Marvel movies, and even Star-Lord performs valiantly despite the lack of a Chris Pratt face scan. Combat is deep and engaging, exploration is limited but fun, and dialogue is top-notch.

Marvel's Midnight Suns (PS5)

$10.49/£9.74 (-85%)

Someone at developer Firaxis fell in love with Fire Emblem: Three Houses, because Marvel’s Midnight Suns adapts a very similar gameplay style to Disney’s iconic superhero universe. The twist here is that instead of befriending tropey anime schoolchildren, you’re shooting the breeze with Peter Parker and Tony Stark between missions. The gameplay revolves around a deck-based system where you use cards to perform actions, and while it’s an overall unusual concoction, it all comes together to create one of the more engaging strategy games on PS5 by some distance.
