Assassin’s Creed Shadows (PS5)

$52.49/£52.49 (-25%)

Ubisoft finally brings the conflict to Japan in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Featuring dual protagonists and one of the most intricate, detailed open worlds in the entire series, Shadows presents another emotionally charged narrative of revenge. The game emphasizes stealth gameplay more than its RPG counterparts while also incorporating intense, counter-heavy combat, providing a perfect blend of both styles regarding exhilarating action. A truly remarkable installment in the long-lasting series, highlighted by charming characters and a surprisingly deep story.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden (PS5)

$29.99/£24.99 (-50%)

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden combines a compelling storyline with engaging and enjoyable gameplay. Limited enemy variety and technical issues prevent it from achieving true greatness, but its strong, narrative-driven side quests make a few bland combat encounters worth enduring. The studio’s finest game to date, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a new franchise we hope will endure.

Borderlands 3 (PS5)

$5.99/£5.99 (-90%)

Gearbox’s beloved looter-shooter returns in classic form with Borderlands 3, and it performs and looks better than ever on PS5. While it doesn’t innovate much on previous titles, the third entry in the series is likely the finest. Enhanced gameplay makes shooting weapons a joy, there is a myriad of quest and weapon variety, and that signature love-or-hate humor is very much present. It shines the brightest on Sony’s latest console, thanks to upgraded visuals and up to 120 frames-per-second on compatible displays. There are few co-op shooters that compare — this is an absolute blast with companions, whether playing locally or online.

Dead Space (PS5)

$13.99/£13.99 (-80%)

One of EA’s most cherished titles returns with this PS5 remake of Dead Space. Reimagining the original tale of Isaac Clarke traversing the ravaged halls of the USG Ishimura, this updated edition is more than just a fresh coat of paint. In addition to modernized visuals, the remake transforms the ship into one cohesive environment, expands numerous areas, incorporates voice acting for Isaac, and much more. Beyond all that, this remains the same great Dead Space you fondly remember — a gripping atmosphere, distinct adversaries and weaponry, coupled with an unforgettable narrative.

Deathloop (PS5)

$11.99/£11.99 (-80%)

Arkane Studios is recognized for its immersive simulations like Dishonored, and with Deathloop, the developer takes that concept in a daring new direction. Assuming the role of an assassin trapped in a time loop on an island populated with hostile characters, your objective is to eliminate all of them within a single cycle; failure to do so means starting again. The thrill lies in slowly uncovering the correct sequence of events necessary to crack the code and escape the loop. A heightened focus on action combined with exciting powers transforms this into a supercharged Dishonored. The loop mechanic and risk of player invasions add some tension, all presented with a fantastic 1960s aesthetic.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero (PS5)

$48.99/£48.99 (-30%)

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero revives the beloved Budokai Tenkaichi franchise, if not by name, and the outcome is impressive. Boasting numerous playable characters from the series’ extensive legacy, you can reenact all your beloved confrontations in fast-paced, strategic, and extravagant clashes. Additionally, it presents a loose retelling of the narrative, allowing you to experience the tale from fresh viewpoints, plus you can design your own scenarios to explore even the most unlikely rivalries. It’s a feature-rich arena brawler that looks stunning and provides an immensely gratifying power fantasy.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake (PS5)

$38.99/£38.99 (-35%)

This timeless Dragon Quest appeal is particularly strong in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake — an insightful reimagining of a classic RPG. Thanks to its enhancements for quality of life and charming 3D graphics, it’s reasonable to claim that this is the adventure’s ultimate iteration — even if some of its foundational flaws are still present.

Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age (PS4)

$19.99/£17.49 (-50%)

The ultimate edition of an already exceptional Japanese RPG, Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age is a vast and endlessly enchanting journey. It maintains the series’ traditional JRPG roots — including turn-based battles — yet a stronger focus on narrative, through a remarkable ensemble of characters, significantly enhances the experience. One of the finest Dragon Quest titles to date — and that speaks volumes.
