A whimsical, miniature open world awaits in A Short Hike. From a top-down perspective, you explore an island with lots of interesting places to visit and adorable characters, each of whom has a task for you. This laid back experience is a true joy as you gain new abilities, collect things, and discover new areas.

Ace Combat flies under the radar, but it’s a fantastic series that deserves recognition. The latest of these arcadey fighter jet games, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, is right up there with the best entries, offering up an earnest wartime tale that has you smoking bogeys like Tom Cruise. The smooth controls and great visuals make it a pleasure to engage in dogfights amid the clouds. The campaign is great, but on top of that is a decent online multiplayer mode and optional PSVR missions, which are staggeringly good — if you have the stomach for them.

With an emphasis on city building, Anno 1800 is a slightly different take on real-time strategy. You’ll be tasked mainly with managing resources as you gradually build up a town from nothing. It’s all about investing in new buildings, trading goods, and keeping your citizens happy. It’s a deep and complicated game, but a more laid-back one than others on this list, if you’re after something a bit lighter.
Publisher: Bandai Namco / Developer: FromSoftware
Release Date: 25th Aug 2023 (USA) / 25th Aug 2023 (UK/EU)
$35.99/£35.99 (-40%)
FromSoftware took a break from its uber-popular Dark Souls, Elden Ring experiences to return to a series it made before it was popular: Armored Core. This sixth mainline entry is very similar to past iterations — so there may be some whiplash for newer fans — but it remains (almost) just as good. You’ll be in and out of the action, customising your mech with new parts to make sure they perform out on the battlefields of Rubicon. It’s a consistently good experience, but don’t expect it to be quite as memorable as what FromSoftware is now known for.

Something of a spin-off title, Assassin’s Creed Mirage puts you in the dusty shoes of Basim, who you may remember from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The story follows Basim’s early ascendance through the Hidden Ones, as he learns the ins and outs of being an assassin. A smaller, but suitably dense sandbox map revives the art of parkour, and the game as a whole tries to emulate that traditional Assassin’s Creed formula — with varying degrees of success. A solid return to stealth overall.

In a lot of ways, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is like a blend of Origins and Odyssey. Like Origins, there’s much more focus on storytelling in this epic Viking saga. But like Odyssey, Valhalla leans heavily on expanded RPG mechanics, such as levelling up, equipment, and skill trees. You play as Eivor, a vision-haunted Viking warrior who leaves Norway to establish a new home in 9th century England. Featuring a lush open world stuffed with all kinds of landmarks and secrets, Valhalla is a real time-sink of a game, but its story-driven acts offer up some of the best characters and narrative beats in the entire series.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora translates James Cameron’s hugely successful movie franchise into an open world action adventure, and it works rather well. Playing in first-person, you explore the gorgeous world of Pandora, realised here in stunning detail. The gameplay is broadly what you’d expect, with simple combat, light crafting, and engaging exploration all working to put you in a Na’vi’s shoes. For fans of the franchise, this is a great interactive iteration.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a role-playing masterclass in almost every aspect that matters. At its best, it’s one of the most deeply engaging RPGs you’ll ever play, and even though its methodical pacing won’t be for everyone, it sets the bar so high in terms of player freedom. Forging your own path to the infamous city of Baldur’s Gate makes for a truly memorable journey, stacked with fantastic characters and superb storytelling. A defining example of its genre.

Before Your Eyes makes the most of PSVR2 to deliver a real emotional gut punch. Using the tech’s eye-tracking feature, this narrative-focused experience changes the scene whenever you physically blink. Through a mix of abstract environments, a well-written human tale, and a truly excellent spatial audio mix, this is a PSVR2 title that’ll force you to take off the headset and wipe away some tears.

BioShock: The Collection is just what it says on the tin: all three of the fan favourite games in one place, and remastered for play on PS4. The first is a true modern classic, introducing us to the unsettling undersea city of Rapture, while the sequels build on what it achieves in some very interesting ways. Each game places you in a fascinating setting that’s in the midst of falling apart, and a mix of guns and powers make them a unique set of shooters. These are bold, unusual games that stand out thanks to their incredible worlds and subversive narratives.

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.

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.

Building on the original in some smart ways, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is a bigger, better RPG. Telling a truly compelling, character-led tale in a sombre sci-fi universe, the game’s unique dice system forces you to take considered risks with every action. You’ll explore various locations, all with many characters to meet and choices to make, and tough side missions flesh out an otherwise linear story. If you don’t mind a text-heavy game, this delivers an engrossing adventure.

Crash Bandicoot is one of PlayStation’s most iconic platforming heroes, and now that he’s double-jumped onto PS5, there’s no excuse for skipping Crash Bandicoot: It’s About Time. This sequel stays true to the series’ origins, but it’s bursting with brand new ideas and jaw-dropping set-piece moments. Running at a flawless 60 frames-per-second in sparkling 4K resolution — and cutting those load times to almost nothing — this release is at its absolute best on Sony’s next-gen console.

Following a disastrous PS4 launch, Cyberpunk 2077 might as well have been a brand new game on PS5 over a year later. CD Projekt Red stuck to its guns, delivering a much improved version of the open world RPG on Sony’s current-gen console, free of the game-breaking bugs and crashing issues that plagued the initial release. The result is memorable and often engrossing dark future title, peppered with great characters, punchy combat, and some excellent freeform mission design. Better late than never!

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.

Arkane Studios is known for its immersive sims like Dishonored, and with Deathloop, the developer takes that formula in a bold new direction. Playing as an assassin caught in a time loop on an island filled with disdainful characters, it’s your job to eliminate all of them within one cycle, else you’ll need to start again. The joy of the game is in slowly figuring out the right sequence of events that need to take place in order for you to crack the code and break the loop. A higher emphasis on action combined with some super fun powers makes this feel like a supercharged Dishonored. The loop mechanic and threat of player invasions provides some tension, and it’s all delivered with a fantastic 60s aesthetic.

We were tempted to just quote the entirety of Vergil’s ‘Bury the Light’ theme here, but that would deny us an opportunity to rave about Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition on PS5. Simply put, this is an exceptional action game. It’s Capcom at its absolute best, having crafted one of the greatest combat systems to ever grace the genre. In Special Edition, Vergil is the star of the show; unbelievably fun to play as and immaculately designed. This PS5 re-release also allows for instantaneous load times, a slew of graphics options, and the incredible Legendary Dark Knight mode.

The resurrection of a real role-playing classic, the aptly named Diablo 2: Resurrected is an expansive remaster of Blizzard’s 2000 title. While this is still very much the Diablo 2 from over two decades ago at its core, Resurrected does bring some welcome quality of life updates to the table, and the ability to jump between the original and revamped visual styles is a nice feature. All in all, the gameplay’s a bit wonky by today’s standards, but that old school atmosphere is hard to beat.
Publisher: Electronic Arts / Developer: Codemasters
Release Date: 26th Feb 2019 (USA) / 26th Feb 2019 (UK/EU)
$14.99/£12.49 (-50%)
Building on the brilliant hardcore experience introduced in the first DiRT Rally, the sequel is another tough but excellent sim racer from Codemasters. The handling is unforgiving at first, but it’s wonderfully gratifying to master, and the sensation of driving at insane speeds through treacherous rally routes is thrilling. The inclusion of Rallycross adds some variety to the mix, and a few small refinements to the gameplay make this an essential purchase for rally fans.
