Monster Hunter Rise is nothing short of a must have game, with the quality of life additions to traversal and movement elevating the experience.
The Outer Worlds: Murder on Eridanos is an excellent murder mystery that held my attention from beginning to end.
While the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 package is by no means a revolutionary new game, it still offers a complete skateboarding package that can provide many hours of gameplay depending on how much you get into it.
Bravely Default II is almost everything I want from a modern turn based RPG.
There is nothing else quite like it and beyond a couple of small quality of life issues, Loop Hero is an amazing experience and one you should absolutely get on board with.
If you’ve been eagerly awaiting more of The Outer Worlds and the Switch is your only choice, then you’ll find something here, but otherwise I’d suggest checking this out on other platforms.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury provides both a slightly improved version of a past game and a new, fresh experience in one package.
The short length, relative lack of difficulty and couple of mechanical niggles stop it from being great, but if you’re looking for a new 2D action-adventure game, you won’t be disappointed.
There are a couple of shortfalls, and the lack of a confidant system is a big hole to fill, but if you’re a fan of Persona, then Persona 5 Strikers is absolutely the game for you.
It’ll give you the willies in ways you might not expect, and ways that are hard to forget.
Control Ultimate Edition on PS5 is the definitive console edition of the game so far. On top of the already fantastic story and mechanics, the addition of raytracing, and the exclusive DualSense support elevate it even further.
If you’re a fan of SaGa or classic RPGs and don’t mind playing some early Gameboy games, you’ll get a kick out of this collection.
If you’re after a new linear narrative adventure game set in a creepy world to play, you’ll likely enjoy The Medium, but if you’re hoping for a more involved experience, I’d suggest skipping it.
Overall, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is a great puzzle game to fill your time with.
If you’re a Ride addict then know that the next-gen version of Ride 4 will be fine after a patch or two, but for now you don’t need to race out and get it.
Though not much has changed gameplay-wise throughout this Hitman trilogy, we enjoyed the fact that Hitman 3 feels complete at launch while tying up some loose ends in the story as well.
Even ignoring performance issues and bugs, Cyberpunk 2077 is still a deeply flawed game, but there is a lot to like – from its rendition of Night City, to the breadth of its side content and the deep level of character customisation with perks and upgrades.
Overall, Immortals Fenyx Rising is a fun, yet unexceptional experience.
If you have the patience to spend a lot of time discovering the lore and upgrading your bird, you will eventually be rewarded, but otherwise you need not apply.
If there’s one game to own on Day One for PS5, and you don’t mind dying a lot, Demon’s Souls is a must-have.
