Romeo is a Dead Man is the latest game from the ever-creative minds at Grasshopper Manufacture, previously responsible for cult action hits like No More Heroes and killer7 as well as mind-bending visual novels like The Silver Case. This latest release is a bombastic, bloody, and constantly unpredictable action game in which you play as an undead FBI agent sent out to combat threats to the space-time continuum.
The story is bonkers, but thankfully, the game's gore-soaked combat is much easier to wrap one's head around. Romeo is a Dead Man features a wide array of melee and ranged weapon types, tight but strong enemy variety, some great level design and showstopping bosses that all have banger soundtracks accompanying them. Not one to miss, and it's actually much cheaper than the current AAA standard of $70 / £70.

Dispatch was a real hidden gem when it launched, and it's really worth checking out if you're a fan of episodic storytelling. You play as a dispatcher of superheroes, running comms and directing heroes to sites of emergency. AdHoc's first game was created by a team of Telltale Games alumni, meaning if you like Telltale's The Walking Dead, and Telltale's Batman, you're in brilliant hands here.
This one focuses on a mature take on the superhero genre, though it's not exactly grounded or gritty. It's bright, funny, and has a superb writing team behind it. Simply put, Dispatch has some of the best narrative design I've seen in the last five years. Each character is vibrant, complex, and practically jumps off of the screen. The episodic structure throws in a bunch of cliffhangers, twists, and awesome reveals over the full runtime.

Sword of the Sea blends sand-surfing action with a gorgeous art style and plenty of mystery. You play as an ancient warrior that uses a special sword to surf across the dunes. As you move through ruins, flipping switches as you go, you'll slowly restore life by summoning the power of the sea. This leads to gorgeous moments where the world around you is completely transformed. Sea creatures flood in through portals, and huge towers of kelp add new ways to traverse upwards.
You can beat Sword of the Sea in just a few hours, though there's some side content to explore if you want. It's the perfect length for a game that completely makes the most of every minute. Even better, it's free with PS Plus Extra.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 modernizes some of the greatest games ever made. This is very much a continuation of the last remake collection, though there's some great quality of life upgrades this time around. You'll be able to revisit iconic locations, listen to a curated playlist while you skate around, and even work through Pro Goals once you've cleared the base missions.
This is the best Tony Hawk's Pro Skater has ever felt, and there's so much fun to be had in tricking across the larger maps of the fourth game. There's a new flow to the way challenges present themselves, and of course, there's secrets to unlock on certain levels.

Ghost of Yōtei is the highly anticipated sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, though it stars a different protagonist, and is set hundreds of years later. Because of this time jump, Atsu has access to firearms, which really change up the gameplay. She can take on bounties too, as she hunts down enemies and moves closer towards the mysterious group to get her revenge.
In terms of how well the game works as a sequel, Ghost of Yōtei makes smart quality of life tweaks while keeping the formula largely the same. This is an evolution of the systems introduced in Ghost of Tsushima, rather than a complete reinvention. As such, players that enjoyed the first game will find plenty to love here, and thanks to the current suite of hardware technology, it's a wonderfully beautiful experience with best-in-class visual fidelity.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is quite unbelievable to behold. Its dazzling art direction, top-tier performances, and spectacular battle effects culminate in what is surely one of the best looking games ever made. Thankfully, there's plenty of substance underneath all that style too, with an incredible soundtrack, and a truly inspired take on turn-based combat. By weaving parries, dodges and QTEs (quick-time events) in with traditional turn-based mechanics, developer Sandfall Interactive has struck gold. A brilliant twist on classic JRPG action.
And better yet? Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's cast list is packed with talent, including Daredevil's Charlie Cox, Final Fantasy 16's Ben Starr, Baldur's Gate 3's Jennifer English, and Venom: Let There Be Carnage director Andy Serkis. Excellent performances across the board pair with a gripping and emotional narrative, one to rival even those found in established series like Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem and Suikoden.

Assassin's Creed Shadows returns to the dual protagonist system first introduced in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Things are quite different here, given that Naoe and Yasuke have particularly distinct fighting styles. Naoe is your classic assassin, using the environment to her advantage, and relying on stealth for her kills. Yasuke, on the other hand, is a long katana-wielding brawler, with heavy armor and a tendency to tackle battles head on. This duality really makes Shadows stand out from its predecessors, and gives players additional agency in how they want to tackle missions and strongholds.
Fans have been clamoring for a Japan-set Assassin's Creed for many years now, and Shadows absolutely nails it. The vast open world is rich and dense with gorgeous forests and towering castles, further elevated by dynamic seasons which completely switch up the look and feel of the world around you. As you make your way across the many regions of Assassin's Creed Shadows, you'll slowly build out a team of allies that'll help you bring resources back to your hideout, which is fully customizable. Before you know it, you'll have access to new gear, weapons, and assasisnation techniques. In many ways, this is the most complete Assassin's Creed experience we've seen yet.

Monster Hunter Wilds finally offers up a seamless open-word for hunters to explore, and by getting rid of some of the series' bloat, it's the most accessible entry yet. For one, combat has been overhauled for all 14 weapons, each receiving new moves and skills, and some being reworked completely. Now, you can bring two weapons on a hunt and switch between them, a move that really encourages experimentation. As such, I found the game to be a real turning point for Monster Hunter, as I finally put down my tried and tested weapons and methods and played around with new builds and loadouts.
Of course, this is still a Monster Hunter game, and you'll be glad to hear that the main draw in Wilds is still the hunts. Monsters are as ferocious as ever, and now there's even new types to take down. Squadding up with friends is easier than ever, as is sending out SOS Signals to other players. If you don't want to play with others, this entry actually introduces NPC characters that can help you out on missions. There's loads of smart changes like this that add up to a fantastic new era for the long-running series.

Arc Raiders was the biggest hit of 2025, and absolutely no-one saw it coming. It has managed to popularize the extraction shooter genre in a new way, by doubling down on proximity chat, and a complex enemy behavioral system that makes every run feel thrilling. You go on raids above ground, loot, fight and survive before extracting. With your spoils safely back at camp, you can then craft better gear.
While Arc Raiders is a PvP-focused multiplayer game, it doesn't quite play out that way. Other players are often friendly enough to team up with you, and at the very least they'll leave you alone to loot in peace. Of course, some players are just outright dangerous, and that's part of the fun. Every single interaction is a gamble, as you negotiate, ambush, or flee. Simply put, Arc Raiders is the most exciting live service game released in a very long time indeed.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a direct sequel to the 2018 medieval RPG, and it pretty much improves on the formula in every way possible. It manages to feel wholly unique, doubling down on immersive sim elements, and excelling where other RPGs tend to falter. The combat is particularly engaging, skating that fine line between complex and fun. There are loads of weapons to try, from the conventional one-handed and two-handed swords, axes, and picks, to ranged options like bows, crossbows, and some early, very impractical, firearms.
Thanks to the excellent open-world design, even mundane tasks suddenly take on new life. Stealing some bread? Well, better make sure you've studied the movements of the shop-owner, lest you be caught unawares and have to make a daring escape. Heading out to battle? Well, it turns out someone stole your shoes last night after the drunken brawl you got yourself into. The world really is your oyster here, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is superb at giving you engaging things to do.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is the latest from Persona and Shin Megami Tensei developer Atlus. If you enjoyed that series, you'll more than likely enjoy this new game, though there's much more of a medieval fantasy setting and vibe when compared to Persona's teenage angst and high school drama. Metaphor: ReFantazio has already cemented itself as a modern classic since launch, we even gave it five stars out of five.
Much of this acclaim comes from the excellent combat, that makes smart changes to the Persona Social Links system. Archetypes are somewhat more involved, and give you more choice over how to level up your party. All of this is wrapped in a supremely stylish wrapper, making Metaphor: ReFantazio a true feast for the eyes.
- Read more: Metaphor: ReFantazio review
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a triumphant return for the fantasy RPG series, with thrilling modern combat, as well as a truly beautiful world to explore. This time around, you play as Rook, and must recruit a team of allies in order to stop a world-ending plot from Solas the Dreadwolf. There's plenty for new players here, but generally, you'll get more out of the story if you played the last game in the series. Regardless, meeting new characters, exploring the world and slowly building up a specialised fighter will keep you busy for hundreds of hours.
While Dragon Age: The Veilguard didn't top our best Dragon Age games list, it is a welcome return for a beloved series. The combat is exceptional, blending the series' penchant for flashy abilities with gorgeous visuals and a deep skill tree. Whether you want to be a magic-wielding mage, or a devastating brute, you can play your way.

I missed Oblivion the first time around, and since then I've always felt it to be somewhat overshadowed by its predecessor: Skyrim. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is a transformative upgrade that edges closer to a remake than what we're used to from a typical remaster. Leveling has been reworked, combat is modernized, and thanks to some hefty visual improvements, the game features one of the best looking open worlds we've seen recently.
If, like me, you've always been hesitant to give Oblivion a go, this remaster is the perfect package, modernizing the gameplay just enough to bring it up to par with its contemporaries. Guild Quests are particularly brilliant, with The Dark Brotherhood being a real standout. Now, you can experience Cyrodiil recreated anew, with all of the quirks and charms that made the original so iconic over the years.
Capcom revisited perhaps the most beloved game in its Resident Evil series, and instead of a simple remake, it went with something much more interesting. Resident Evil 4 reworks pretty much everything, from the combat to the puzzles, while cleaning up the storyline to fit better with modern entires. The result is truly thrilling, managing to balance action and horror masterfully.
This is still the game you know and love, but with improvements across the board. Combat is smooth and fluid, and the visuals are some of the best I've seen on PS5. Boss fights feel bigger, voice acting is improved, and there's a sense of scale and spectacle that the original lacked at times. This is the perfect starting point for those looking to try out a Resident Evil game, and one that's surely one of the best in the entire series.

Baldur's Gate 3 made one hell of a splash when it launched in 2023. It had been in early access for quite some time, allowing devs to fine tune gameplay to perfection. The launch build has since been updated, and as it stands, Baldur's Gate 3 is simply one of the best RPGs you can play on PS5.
You'll start your Baldur's Gate 3 quest by being infected by a brain worm, and must forge uneasy alliances to uncover a way to save yourself. Along the way, you can take on combat and puzzles in pretty much any way you want. The full variety on offer in Dungeons and Dragons is available here too. Whether you want to be a brutish barbarian, or a whimsical bard, there's a play-style for you.
While the game is undoubtedly made to be played on PC, the console port is exceptional. If you're into fantasy RPGs, you really can't go wrong with picking up Baldur's Gate 3 on PS5.

After six long years of waiting since its initial announcement, Capcom's Pragmata is finally here, and it's brilliant. While putting forward a pretty high-concept sci-fi adventure, Pragmata's gameplay is refreshingly straightforward and surprisingly innovative.
As space engineer Hugh, you team up with a mysterious android named Diana after becoming stranded on a (quite literally) AI-generated moon base. Oh, I should clarify: no actual generative AI tech was used in the making of Pragmata. Rather, the team has expressed that's the uncanny look it tried to replicate for the game's level design.
Hugh can make use of several powerful weapons to dispatch the base's hostile robots, but he won't make a dent in them without the help of Diana. The android girl can hack these robots' defenses with a clever arcade-like minigame that, on success, pops them open for Hugh to wreak havoc on their weak points.
Pragmata, ultimately, is a reminder that Capcom used to be one of the most experimental developers in the industry. Playing it, I'm reminded of one-of-a-kind gaming experiences from the PS2 and GameCube era, like Chaos Legion, P.N.03, and Haunting Ground. It's awesome to see Capcom is still able to flex its more experimental puzzles outside of reliable stalwarts like Monster Hunter and Resident Evil.

Hollow Knight Silksong arrived after years of fervent clamoring from players around the world. It somehow manages to expertly follow up on one of the best indie games ever made, with a better protagonist, and a suite of already iconic boss fights. You play as Hornet this time around, and she's faster, more acrobatic, and more vocal than the Knight. She has access to a bunch of different Tools, from throwing stars to traps, each offering a unique advantage during combat.
While Silksong is indeed hard as nails, it's also a sprawling and non-linear game that encourages players to explore and learn enemy patterns. If you hit a wall, there's ten other ways to go, and every path is well worth seeing through to the end. The boss fights are the real standout, and the final fight is particularly cinematic. With a gorgeous artstyle, and exquisite audio design, Silksong is easily one of the best games on PS5.
- Read more: Hollow Knight Silksong review
Demon's Souls is still one of the best looking games ever made, even more than half a decade removed from its launch. This is because it fully leverages everything that the PS5 can handle, with some of the best lighting and particle effects you'll find on console.
In terms of the game itself, Demon's Souls is a lovingly faithful remake of FromSoftware's cult classic, with some modern bells and whistles to help bring it up to speed. Players will find a challenging yet satisfying action RPG, with hulking bosses to fell, and labyrinthian dungeons to explore. If you've played any of the Souls series, this is the one that started it all, and you'll no doubt recognize many of the systems that have now become a standard of the genre.
Demon’s Souls forcibly drives home one simple message from the outset: you will die. It doesn’t matter how patient, careful or skilled a player you might be, because sooner or later, you will die. As you learn about enemy attacks, where hidden paths are, and slowly level up your character however, you'll eventually emerge from the catacombs victorious.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is the most ambitious and fully-realized entry in the popular turn-based subseries to date. Stories 3 continues to trade the franchise's real-time hunting for tense turn-based engagements. You'll fetch eggs from nests, grow, and nurture your very own large monsters (charmingly known here as 'Monsties') and make use of their movesets in conjunction with your hunter's weapons of choice.
Combat is simple to pick up, but rich in depth. Operating off a rock-paper-scissors model of power, technical, and speed-based attacks, you'll utilize this triangle to break through enemy weaknesses. And you'll often have to do this on the fly, as an enraged monster significantly changes up their attack patterns just as they do in the mainline series.
Backing this up is a gorgeous and fully explorable open world draped in a lovely cel-shaded style. The story might not be too much to write home about, but there's charming characters aplenty and a chunky runtime that'll keep you going for weeks if not months. Seriously, don't sleep on this one just because it's a spin-off. It's every bit as engaging as World, Rise, Wilds, and all the 'old-gen' games that came before them.
Gran Turismo 7 restores the racing sim franchise to its former greatness, fixing the lack of content and slightly underwhelming visuals in both GT6 and GT Sport. GT7 gets back to what the charming racing sim does best: offering bags of content with sublime racing gameplay, all wrapped up in a wonderfully charming and inviting user experience that's remarkably moreish.
GT7 is also a stunning showcase of PS5 tech, making arguably the best use of the DualSense Wireless Controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. You'll feel every bump in the road, every screech around a corner, and every gear change as you maneuver around GT7's litany of tracks. Pair this with lightning-quick load times and you end up with a beautifully seamless racing experience in GT7. You rarely wait longer than a few seconds to dive into – or retry – a racing activity. GT7 is a glorious return to form for the series and easily the best racing game to showcase the PS5's capabilities.

Helldivers 2 has taken the PS5 game scene by storm since its release in early 2024 - and for good reason. This third-person co-op shooter is chaotic, dumb, ridiculous in its humor, and totally bombastic in its action. Comparisons to the movie Starship Troopers are both fair and excellent, with teams of up to four spreading 'managed democracy' across the galaxy while slaying bug and robot enemies in the process.
You might well get into some friendly fire with your teammates but, in our experience, that only adds to the spectacle on offer - Helldivers 2 really encourages you to embrace the chaos in your defiant battle against the bugs and bots in relentless encounters and battles to save Super Earth. It is chaotic, but it also has a bit to say about serious matters too, under the right lens.
The shooting in particular feels excellent, and while, like some other bits of the game, it isn't always precise, it feels excellent to lay into hordes of bugs and robot baddies while hearing your characters shout nonsense slogans all the while.
Throw in a decent variety of mission types, good progression systems, slapstick humor, something we called "riotous violence" in our review, and you get a great result. Helldivers 2 is probably the best PS5 game for co-op action you can get right now.
- Read more: Helldivers 2 review
Resident Evil Requiem, the series' ninth mainline entry, is finally here and it's proving to be exceptionally popular, smashing the franchise's record concurrent player count on Steam and shipping 5 million units already since launch.
The game is a blast, combining the slow-build horror of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard with the moreish action of titles like Resident Evil 4. Dual protagonists Grace and Leon both offer distinct play styles, with the former's initial hospital section being some of the finest hours of Resident Evil the series has ever seen.
While I personally greatly enjoyed the story, it's not going to be for everyone, and does rely on some heavy-handed fan service from time to time. At present, it's also fairly light on content, frustratingly missing the series' iconic Mercenaries side mode at the time of writing.
However, if you're in the mood for some top-rate scares, and a strong mix of classic RE level design and showstopping action sequences, Resident Evil Requiem is essential.

With how Final Fantasy 7 Remake ended, it's no surprise that its successor heads into uncharted waters from the get-go. And while much of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will be familiar to those who played the original game, there's so many twists and turns to experience this time around.
In general, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth offers up a much larger, and more substantial slice of turn-based action and open-world exploration than what we've seen before. There are literally hundreds of side-activities to take on as you guide Cloud and friends through a bright and oftentimes funny adventure. While some may be put off by the changes to the original game's story, others will find Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's approach to a remake very refreshing indeed.
If you're looking for an absolutely gorgeous world to lose yourself in, or if you just want to dig into an excellent new combat system, then FF7 Rebirth is easily on of the best PS5 games you can pick up right now.
- Read more: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth review
As one of Sony's biggest PS5 exclusives, Returnal is bound to draw in many gamers who maybe haven't played a roguelike before and therefore may find its punishing difficulty, ever-changing levels, and permadeath mechanic to be a real shock to the system. That said, after a few cycles within Returnal's harsh alien world, they may also find it difficult to stop playing.
Returnal brings developer Housemarque's signature 'bullet hell' approach to the roguelike genre, which means that you'll never know what to expect when you enter a room, only that you will have to start over again from the beginning when you die. However, thanks to a tantalizing story and immersive gameplay, which take full advantage of PS5 3D Audio and the DualSense's full range of features, you'll likely keep returning for "just one more run..." If you want to see what the PS5 is capable of, Returnal is an experience you don't want to miss.

If you're on the hunt for an open-world, narrative-driven adventure in your search for the best PS5 game for you, then look no further than Horizon Forbidden West. Developing and expanding on all that was great about Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4, Aloy's next adventure is staggeringly beautiful, gripping, and filled with exciting rob-dinosaur action.
Many will say that it doesn't change a whole lot from Zero Dawn, or break ground that much, but Forbidden West absolutely is one of the best experiences you can get on PS5 right now. Oh, and do not skip the side quests, with some of the best we've played on PS5 (or any platform, for that matter) in recent years.
Whether you're keen to follow-up Aloy's adventures in Zero Dawn, or you're jumping into the open-world franchise for the first time, Forbidden West is an excellent onboarding point thanks to its gorgeous visuals and gameplay enhancements alone.
- Read more: Horizon Forbidden West review
Death Stranding 2 is a sequel that I never saw coming. Thankfully, my concerns about whether or not another Death Stranding was needed were immediately dispelled upon playing a few hours of the game. It's a massive improvement on its predecessor, with small, but substantial updates to stealth, combat and resource management making for a truly brilliant game.
There's a feeling that Death Stranding 2 is the absolute peak of what Kojima is capable of from a gameplay perspective, with a unique blend of systems that really come together as the story progresses.
You'll set off across Mexico in the first few hours of Death Stranding 2, before heading off to Australia. The change in locale really packs a punch at first, swapping the rain-drenched and mountainous regions of the first for wide open deserts, and rocky valleys filled with new BT enemies.
Getting from point A to point B still takes careful planning, but there's less friction when things inevitably go wrong. You have better weapons, more tools at your disposal, and even better allies that can help you out in a pinch. This is absolutely the better Death Stranding game, one that really irons out some of the issues from the first game.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is the definitive PlayStation superhero experience. Building on the first two games in the saga beautifully, this PS5 blockbuster gives us both Peter and Miles as playable characters and lets us loose once again in New York City.
Fans of the series and the superhero are well served with the game's Venom story arc that throws in a few surprises along the way, and as a singe-player open-world action game, it doesn't get much more fun than this. From taking on lowly criminals breaking into shops, to scouring the city for the many collectibles and puzzles, and from gliding your way through the sky scrapers in wind tunnels, to exploring all the skills and tools available to Peter and Miles, the action is relentless, and fun is paramount.
As a Sony first-party title, you get to enjoy a host of DualSense features too which make everything from firing web bursts, swinging through the streets, and solving puzzles with differing trigger pressures immensely fun, and immersive. There's also a host of impressive accessibility features that means more folks than ever can join in the fun of being a fully-fledged Spider-Man.

Astro Bot has seriously surprised players and critics alike with an excellent display of modern 3D platforming peppered with a true reverence for the PlayStation brand. In their other adventures, Astro Bot had already proven himself as the new kid on the block as far as console mascots were concerned, and now, with a fully fledged game, it's clear that Sony has something very special on its hands indeed.
Each level of Astro Bot is bursting with easter eggs, including bots themed after authentic PlayStation characters as well as much deeper cuts. Ratchet, Jack, Crash and Spyro are all included here, helping Astro Bot feel like a real celebration for the now 30 year old gaming company. It's not all nostalgia here however, as Astro Bot puts forward perhaps the most polished platformer ever made. It's tight, exquisitely designed, and a complete blast to play. Watch out Mario, your card's marked.
- Read more: Astro Bot review
Elden Ring wowed fans and critics alike when it launched in 2022, offering up an open world take on games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Elden Ring's The Lands Between, is as deep as it is wide, stringing together now iconic locations that offer as much beauty as they do brutality. By expanding the scope of what a Soulslike can be, FromSoftware has created something that transcends the genre, an experience that appeals to all kinds of gamers, with no prior knowledge required.
Thanks to 2024's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, there's even more reasons to call Elden Ring one of the best PS5 games around. It's challenging, gorgeous, intricately designed and absolutely meticulous in its level progression and build variety. If you only try one Souls game, make it Elden Ring to see what all the fuss is about.

God of War Ragnarok is the critically-acclaimed sequel to God of War (2018). Picking up several years after the events of its predecessor, this single-player epic once again follows Spartan Kratos and his son Atreus. But, this time, the pair are preparing for Ragnarok, a great battle that is prophesized to bring about the destruction of the Nine Realms.
Ragnarok will feel familiar to those who played God of War, but what really makes this sequel great is its emotive narrative, which shines in its subtler moments, while clever evolutions to combat introduce welcome changes that advance gameplay without over saturating it. It’s a sequel that is often as brutal as it is poignant, making it easily the best mature open-world adventure on PS5 right now.
