The story follows Basim&#8217;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&#8217;s Creed formula \u2014 with varying degrees of success. A solid return to stealth overall.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/mortal-shell-enhanced-edition-artwork.900x250.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"250\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition (PS5)\"\/><a class=\"cover scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/mortal_shell_enhanced_edition\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/cover_small.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"187\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition (PS5)\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Publisher: <strong>PlayStack<\/strong> \/ Developer: <strong>Cold Symmetry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Release Date: <strong>4th Mar 2021 (USA)<\/strong> \/ <strong>4th Mar 2021 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps3\/dark_souls\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dark Souls<\/a>, and its various spin-offs, has become a genre all of its own \u2013 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/mortal_shell_enhanced_edition\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition<\/a> proudly flaunts its FromSoftware influences on its armoured sleeve.

This makes for a brilliant (and violent) romp, turning unlikely pairs into firm allies in a high quality story mode. Once you&#8217;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&#8217;t evolved all that much, this is still arguably the best Mortal Kombat yet, and will certainly be supported for a long time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/assassins-creed-valhalla-artwork.900x250.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"250\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Assassin's Creed Valhalla (PS5)\"\/><a class=\"cover scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/assassins_creed_valhalla\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/assassins-creed-valhalla-cover.cover_small.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"191\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Assassin's Creed Valhalla (PS5)\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Publisher: <strong>Ubisoft<\/strong> \/ Developer: <strong>Ubisoft Montreal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Release Date: <strong>12th Nov 2020 (USA)<\/strong> \/ <strong>12th Nov 2020 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a lot of ways, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/assassins_creed_valhalla\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Assassin&#8217;s Creed Valhalla<\/a> is like a blend of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps4\/assassins_creed_origins\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Origins<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps4\/assassins_creed_odyssey\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Odyssey<\/a>. Like Origins, there&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/jurassic-world-evolution-2-artwork.900x250.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"250\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Jurassic World Evolution 2 (PS5)\"\/><a class=\"cover scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/jurassic_world_evolution_2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/jurassic-world-evolution-2-cover.cover_small.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"188\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Jurassic World Evolution 2 (PS5)\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Publisher: <strong>Frontier<\/strong> \/ Developer: <strong>Frontier<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Release Date: <strong>9th Nov 2021 (USA)<\/strong> \/ <strong>9th Nov 2021 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Who wouldn\u2019t want to build their very own dinosaur theme park? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/jurassic_world_evolution_2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jurassic World Evolution 2<\/a> follows in the footsteps of its relatively recent tycoon predecessor, putting you in charge of your very own prehistoric resort. In addition to installing commercial enterprises like shops and hotels, you\u2019ll also need to ensure the safety of your visitors, while simultaneously breeding reptiles that will attract the attention of your punters.

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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/prince-of-persia-the-lost-crown-artwork.900x250.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"250\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (PS5)\"\/><a class=\"cover scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/prince_of_persia_the_lost_crown\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/prince-of-persia-the-lost-crown-cover.cover_small.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"184\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (PS5)\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Publisher: <strong>Ubisoft<\/strong> \/ Developer: <strong>Ubisoft Montpellier<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Release Date: <strong>18th Jan 2024 (USA)<\/strong> \/ <strong>18th Jan 2024 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ubisoft proves with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/prince_of_persia_the_lost_crown\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown<\/a> that it\u2019s arguably at its best when it\u2019s scaling down the size of its games and creating something outside of its open world wheelhouse. Metroidvanias may be ten a penny on PS5, but this well-executed adventure is bursting with exploration and equipped with some of the most satisfying side-scrolling combat you\u2019ll find on Sony\u2019s current-gen system.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-anniversary-edition-artwork.900x250.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"250\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition (PS5)\"\/><a class=\"cover scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/elder_scrolls_v_skyrim_anniversary_edition\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-anniversary-edition-cover.cover_small.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"187\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition (PS5)\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Publisher: <strong>Bethesda Softworks<\/strong> \/ Developer: <strong>Bethesda Game Studios<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Release Date: <strong>11th Nov 2021 (USA)<\/strong> \/ <strong>11th Nov 2021 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the most enduring games in history, Bethesda&#8217;s iconic RPG comes to PS5 with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/elder_scrolls_v_skyrim_anniversary_edition\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim &#8211; Anniversary Edition<\/a>. What&#8217;s more, it&#8217;s quite simply the best version of Skyrim to ever grace a PlayStation console. This is a real cut above previous versions (which were often riddled with bugs), offering a mostly locked 60 frames-per-second at 4K resolution. It&#8217;s taken a decade, but Bethesda has finally delivered a smooth experience with this PS5 release \u2014 and crucially, the game is still a fantastic, enormous RPG well worth playing today.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/cult-of-the-lamb-artwork.900x250.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"250\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Cult of the Lamb (PS5)\"\/><a class=\"cover scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/cult_of_the_lamb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/cult-of-the-lamb-cover.cover_small.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"189\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Cult of the Lamb (PS5)\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Publisher: <strong>Devolver Digital<\/strong> \/ Developer: <strong>Massive Monster<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Release Date: <strong>11th Aug 2022 (USA)<\/strong> \/ <strong>11th Aug 2022 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/cult_of_the_lamb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cult of the Lamb<\/a> is an ingenious blend of rogue-lite action and life sim that&#8217;s devilishly addictive. Indebted to an imprisoned, malevolent god, you spend half the game vanquishing foes, gathering resources, and rescuing animals. Then, things flip, and your time turns to building up a cult with various buildings and structures. There&#8217;s an element of strategy to this half of the game, but it&#8217;s generally pretty breezy, while the action is nice and snappy. Both sides of Cult of the Lamb feed wonderfully into each other, and combined with the cute cartoon visuals, it&#8217;s an incredibly fun, dangerously moreish treat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Like our other lists, the ratings and rankings of these action titles are decided by the Push Square&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":692069,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7],"tags":[126,981,25594,55,991,53,16,15],"class_list":["post-692068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-features","tag-guides","tag-ps-plus","tag-ps5","tag-single-player","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115884786903270919","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=692068"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692068\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/692069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=692068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=692068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=692068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
