Air Race Speed is a tight little arcade racer with a simple premise executed exceptionally well. The one more go nature of the game makes this ideally suited to the Vita and can easily keep you playing for hours at a time. It offers a decent level of challenge and a lot of content for the cheap price point. You need to own this game if you have a Vita.

In a sea of auto-shooting survival games, Brotato is by far the best. It's as maddening as it is addictive but in the best way.

Do you like baseball? MLB The Show 23 is your one stop shop for all things baseball. It’s great with tons of game modes and extras, including the returning March to October mode and the fantastic Negro Leagues presentation. That it’s not on PS+ as yet is a bit of an eyebrow raiser given its Game Pass day one inclusion, so it’s a shame that Sony didn’t see fit to include it as yet. If you’re curious, take a chance and you’ll be rewarded with a fascinating insight into the wider world of baseball.

An excellent puzzle platformer with great level design and stunningly realised concept. Recommended.

Yoku’s Island Express is a unique take on the pinball, platforming and adventure genre’s. Not only does it blend these gameplay styles beautifully, it matches these with stunning visuals and a vast world that just deserves to be explored. Truly innovative and delightful in every way.

It may not offer anything substantially new compared to the 2018 PS4 Spidey game but Miles Morales plays great and looks even better. Miles himself is a likeable hero (albeit it with some annoying co-stars) and the open-world action is just as enjoyable as ever. It's a bit pricey for what you get but the game benefits from the shorter run-time.

The Last Day of June needs to be played by as many people as possible as this is a wonderful game with a compelling and emotionally charged story. Whilst not without it's faults there are so many aspects of this game which are just fantastic, from the interesting art style through to the way you grow to love and understand all the characters. If you are in any way interested in narrative driven games you owe it to yourself to play this.

Cloudpunk is a truly impressive game, without even taking the PS5 updates into account. Graphically as close as we're likely to get to a Blade Runner game without an official licence being a thing. Often funny with a well written script, this is well worth your time. The on-foot sections can be a bit samey, but that's about the only moment we didn't enjoy here.

Thimbleweed Park feels like a masterclass in making a point and click adventure game. The story is excellent and full of humour and unexpected developments and the puzzles are well thought out and challenging. It feels almost exactly like playing a Lucasfilm Game from yesteryear and this is the highest praise I can give it.

Danmaku Unlimited 3 is the kind of shoot 'em up that puts you in hell but gives you everything you need to fight your way out of it. It's dynamic, dramatic and devastating and we love it.

Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition is a fantastic port of a great episodic point and click adventure. It’s really rather excellent. Get to it.

Cardpocalypse is an excellent card battler suitable for all ages. Think of it as a non-sweary South Park crossed with Hearthstone and you'd be part of the way there. Very much recommended.

Forza Horizon 5 is a great port of a game that you wouldn’t believe is almost four years old. Panic Button have ported Playground Games impressive 2021 open world racer to PS5 and it might well be the most fun we’ve ever had with a driving game on Playstation outside our beloved Bernard Paradise. The Drivatar difficulty is a bit hit and miss though and we did feel a little overwhelmed by the sheer number of objectives on the in-game map but they are minor foibles all told. Bring on Forza Horizon 6!

The Ascent is cyberpunk done right. It might just be the best looking game on PSN and with its excellent action and wide range of weapons and upgrades, The Ascent is truly a joy to play.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is not only a return to form for the storied franchise but a whole new beast in itself. It not only ups the ante in regards to scares but also plays the smart card as well. The game not only shows that Capcom still have what it takes, it also exceeds the expectations that were set by the impressive marketing campaign. If you are a survival horror fan, VR fan or both, then Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is essential.

Let's Build A Zoo might look like some 16-bit indie nonsense but it's easily the best management game we've played in years. It's playable, fun and outrageously addictive and it could honestly keep you happy for the rest of the year easily.

Titanfall 2 improves on the original in almost every way, it takes the frantic action and amps it up even more in both the multiplayer and the brilliant new single player mode. Couple this with the consumer friendly DLC approach, excellent visuals and creativity and you have one fine game. Respawn have outdone themselves.

Kine is a fantastic musically themed narrative based puzzler. Very good indeed. You need to play this.

Windbound presents itself as a serene experience, full of gorgeous locales and charming visuals. Underneath this nomadic glamour, hides a core of rogue-like brutality and the ever-present threat of death, with an inevitable restart to the beginning coming to those who brazenly disregard the dangers. This difficulty will divide many, but with perseverance, the game turns into an experience worth taming, with rewarding exploration, fun seafaring gameplay and a constant sense of rewarding progression.

Age of Wonders: Planetfall successfully brings a 4X title to consoles. The manual combat can slow things down too much and there's a learning curve to tackle, but the controls generally do the trick and there is so much content here for a solo player that you'll lose dozens of hours to it and still have much more to explore.

Redout is a very credible challenger to Wipeout's crown and while it doesn't quite usurp the genre's king, it offers some of the fastest racing action on PSN.

Aliens: Dark Descent does a great job of combining the feel, suspense and horror of the films with some solid RTS mechanics and we've enjoyed playing it more than any other game inspired by the film franchise. It's just a shame that a few legacy bugs from the PC version have made their way over to the PS5 version. That spoils things for early adopters but in a few patches time, this could end up being the best Alien game yet.

Barring a few janky moments, My Time At Portia remains an engrossing, vibrantly colourful Sim-RPG with tons of charm, surprises and discoveries around each corner. There is plenty to see, lots to do and a fair amount to love about this charming and rewarding adventure.

With its smartly constructed levels and deep customisation options, JYDGE is 10Tons' best twin-stick shooter yet.

Despite the change of developer, TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 continues the series' upward trajectory. Focusing on the island itself for an impressive backdrop works wonders, even if performance doesn't always hold up. Presentation can still be a little basic but the thrill and demands of road racing remain well recreated. I could spend days bombing around the island's country lanes and motorways.

The long-awaited remaster of THPS3 arrives and proves why the original was one of the best games ever made. We're not sure the THPS4 levels bring as much to the party and the overall structure of the game makes everything a bit of a repetitive slog. But the classic Tony Hawk's gameplay, and the significant visual upgrade, make this a winner regardless.

Holdfast: Nations At War is fun mess. As a battle for territory, it struggles to coordinate the large player count. Enemy soldiers can be tricky to spot at a distance and a packed fort can leave very little room for shots. What it does offer is an absurd scenario where players will find a role to play and commit to the bit. I have had some unforgettable, stupid moments with this game and the willingness of the community to play along delivers something unique.

Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2 is a beautifully crafted run and gun shooter that combines great visuals, exciting gameplay and some dumb but fun humour to create one of the most enjoyable shooters on PSN.
