11-11: Memories Retold is an immersive, beautiful, and emotionally charged game. It’s at its best when it functions as a playable film, with you making the major decisions. Where it falls down is in its clunky gameplay and story beats that are locked behind secret item collection. However, the strong celebrity performances and engaging story more than make up for this and create a really unique experience that is both thought provoking and enjoyable. As the subtlest World War game ever made, there’s nothing more appropriate to play to commemorate the signing of the Armistice.

There’s nothing quite like a cosy game, and A Little to the Left is a perfect example of how a simplistic premise can deliver a comforting experience. In this relaxing puzzle game, you sort and organise basic household items, such as documents, books, toys, and anything you’d consider requiring a bit of a sort out, really. Throw in a lovely art style and you have yourself one charming, albeit short, cosy game to wind down with.

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.
$19.99 / £17.99 (-60%)
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.
$19.99 / £17.49 (-50%)
While many of the included games may border on unplayable from a modern perspective, the painstaking attention to detail in Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is extremely easy to appreciate. The museum-like carousel of content, from interviews through to original artwork, is presented so handsomely that you can’t not get swept up in Atari’s dramatic story. And the fact that there over 100 of the company’s most famous titles, emulated excellently with their original instruction manuals available to pore over, adds playable context to a lot of the content. This is just an impressive overall experience that will appeal to those who lived through the rise (and fall) of Atari, as well as younger players eager to learn a little more about one of the industry’s true pioneers.
$23.09 / £23.09 (-67%)
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.
$4.99 / £2.39 (-75% / -85%)
Divisive? Well, it was, wasn’t it? Surprisingly so, in fact, given the sheer overwhelming success of predecessors Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City. Rocksteady’s long anticipated Batman: Arkham Knight massively increased the scale of its sandbox, and issued you with a tank-like vehicle to help you navigate it. This was cleverly integrated into the series’ tried-and-trusted environmental puzzles, but some argued its car combat encounters were tedious and overused. Regardless of any criticism, when this threequel was on song it still exhibited the very best of the Arkham series, with crunching combat and a drizzly open world to explore.
$9.99 / £7.99 (-50%)
The spiritual successor to FromSoftware’s supremely popular Dark Souls property, Bloodborne fuses the lip-smackingly satisfying combat of its predecessors with a frighteningly fast pace, resulting in the most intense action on the PS4. Harrowing Lovecraftian-like fiends and larger-than-life bosses vie for the attention of your Saw Blade, as the dingy districts of Yharnam intertwine. A steep difficulty curve can make this occasionally putrid escapade appear off-putting, but soldier through the skin and sinew and you’ll find a bloodbath worth submerging in.
$23.99 / £23.99 (-60%)
Call of Duty: Vanguard does very little to shake up the status quo of Call of Duty multiplayer, but what it does have going for it is a ton of maps, modes, weapons, and general content. It’s packed to the rafters with things to see and do in online skirmishes, and the single player campaign is pretty darn good too. Zombies fans should avoid until some post-launch updates come around, but for anyone wanting to battle it out online with friends, there’s not a lot better than Call of Duty: Vanguard on PS5.
$19.99 / £15.99 (-20%)
Anyone who had a Nintendo DS back in the day knows that it boasts a little selection of Castlevania games that are some of the very best in the series — and Castlevania Dominus Collection gives PlayStation loyalists a chance to sample their delights. Featuring Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, Order of Ecclesia, and Haunted Castle, it’s a generous package offering hours of fun exploration, secrets, and boss fights to uncover. With gorgeous pixel graphics, weapon builds to learn, and enemy designs that continually delight, plus some excellent maps to explore and uncover, this is a fantastic little collection that should please any Metroidvania fan.
$19.99 / £15.99 (-20%)
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.
$19.79 / £19.79 (-67%)
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.
$24.99 / £24.99 (-50%)
Crisis Core remains as cheesy and cringy as ever on PS5, but it’s a much more approachable game now thanks to this largely fantastic remaster from Square Enix. With a refined combat system and gameplay mechanics, alongside much-updated visuals, the Final Fantasy VII prequel is well worth playing if you’re a fan of the series-within-a-series. Just try not to take the storytelling too seriously!
$12.49 / £8.99 (-50%)
If you’re a fan of old-school platformers, Demon Turf is well worth a look. This stylish game meshes 3D environments with 2D sprites for a totally unique look, and it matches that up nicely with responsive platforming controls. You play as Beebz, a young demon who’s on a quest to overthrow the Demon King by gaining followers throughout the land. With no shortage of collectibles, challenges, and attitude, this has a distinct late 90s, early 00s vibe in the best way.

Sony comfortably hooked the enthusiast crowd by adding Demon’s Souls to the PS5’s launch lineup. FromSoftware’s legendary action RPG – which would go on to spawn the so-called Soulsborne series and, eventually, even Elden Ring – was snubbed by the Japanese giant during the PS3 era, as it felt early builds were simply not up to snuff. Publishers like Atlus and Bandai Namco eventually picked it up, and it went on to become a cult classic. Perhaps as a tacit admission that it made a mistake, its recruited tech specialists Bluepoint Games to remake the game for a modern era – and the results are remarkable. This version uses original PS3 code to make for an incredibly authentic experience, but its visuals are among some of the best you’ll find on Sony’s new-gen console. It’s an extraordinary blend of old and new that comes highly recommended.
