    Rigid Force Redux
    Rigid Force Redux is a decent R-Type clone but one that plays it very safe and as such never really does anything to make it stand out.

    Freddy Spaghetti
    Freddy Spaghetti isn't ravioliutionary but it is a whole lot of fun. Across fifty levels you'll help your spaghetti strand take the linguini way home, hopefully without too much far falle as you go.

    Tesla vs Lovecraft
    We loved Tesla vs Lovecraft on the PS4 and we love it now on PS5. It remains one of the most manic and exciting shoot 'em ups ever made and despite not really using the PS5 hardware to improve anything, it's still very easy to recommend.

    Override 2: Super Mech League
    Whilst it can degenerate into a box-ticking exercise, combat in Override 2: Super Mech League excels when against other human players. The action holds plenty of weight and the unpredictability does make each fight feel like a challenge. Against bots, that element feels completely removed and more routine. Presentation is handled well with some varied and colourful arenas that always add options to combat. There's a more complete game here that should keep players more engaged.

    Immortals Fenyx Rising
    While it may not be the most original game ever, Immortals: Fenyx Rising is a great experience that offers plenty to do in the lush, vibrant and brutal backdrop of Greek mythology. On each fundamental aspect of the open-world action-RPG genre, this experience delivers to a capable degree, it just may take some players a few hours to find their footing.

    Unto The End
    If you can get past the unrelenting darkness and harsh combat, Unto The End is probably right up your street. For us though, it sometimes feels like a misery simulator. Despite that, we feel compelled to battle on.

    Undead Horde
    At £13.99, this is a little bit pricier than you might expect but you do get a really enjoyable and addictive game for your money and one that plays differently to anything else we’ve seen on PSN so far. RTS games don’t always perform that well on consoles but by stripping out the tedium and making it more of an arcadey affair, Undead Horde gets things just right.

    Autumn's Journey
    Autumn's Journey is a story of friendship you've already heard before. In spite of the cheery visuals and pleasant tone, there's nothing refreshing on offer. The story barrels along into an inevitable conclusion with very little meat to subsidise the fluff. Having characters that are otherworldly dilutes any chance of a more relatable, human interactions and it starts to feel very contrived. It results in relationships between characters that are all too accommodating to go along for the ride.

    Space Invaders Forever
    This curious collection of Space Invaders titles brings together the reasonably well-known, and well-liked, Space Invaders Extreme with two fairly obscure other titles but we're left scratching our heads as to why Taito didn't include games from the original arcade series or better games like Infinity Gene. Instead you've got a decent game and two others that no-one asked for but die hard Space Invaders fans should get something from this compilation.

    PHOGS!
    With the cheerful overtones of a colourful world and characters, PHOGS! Is as sweet as a game about a stretchy two headed dog can be. The surreal concept provides plenty of chances for a mild and accessible challenge, enjoyable in both single and cooperative play. This is a great option if you are looking for a game with little stakes or something to play with a younger sibling.

    Ponpu
    Ponpu is a fun reimagining of the classic Bomberman formula with just the right amount of weirdness added to make it feel like its own game. Mildly grotesque bosses each requiring their own unique approach just add to the appeal. Bombs on!

    WRC 9 FIA World Rally Championship
    WRC9 is a great example of a crossplatform port. Kylotonn should be applauded for their sterling efforts here, especially with regard to using Dualsense. Yes, rallying might not be for all, but this is a fine driving game which utilises the WRC licence to great effect.

    Paw Paw Paw
    Paw Paw Paw is an enjoyable brawler that manages to offer some persistence in a lengthy campaign. The combat has a depth to it and the enemies are nice and varied. It's a shame they deal so much damage and stun at the bitter end but the arenas do mostly offer you room to escape. The areas are nicely varied with some interesting bosses to tackle. Overall, it's a solid effort.

    Puyo Puyo Tetris 2
    Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 could be great but ups the ante with an overly aggressive AI implementation that makes the campaign mode a joyless experience in the second half. Coupled with zero use of the Dualsense functions, you’d just as well be playing the original against pro-level players online. It's still a great game but the absurd AI kills it for all but the most hardcore players.

    Rusty Spout Rescue Adventure
    If you really want a generic version with a thin story, then Rusty Spout Rescue Adventure might be for you. Unfortunately, the only characteristic that the game has is that it is quite challenging but that might not translate to it being much fun.

    Micetopia
    Unfortunately, I couldn't find myself in a good flow with Micetopia. The potential is there for a simple, decent platformer but Rich is never fully equipped enough to feel handy in combat. Visually, it's well-made and has the occasional flourish but the gameplay doesn't offer me much excitement. Progression leads to some late-game grind and the level design does falter in giving you too much to do between checkpoints. On paper, it looks fine. In execution, it becomes clumsy and frustrating.

    Exit the Gungeon
    Exit the Gungeon is an enjoyable, run based rogue-lite. Things can get busy on the screen but runs are short enough and rewards plentiful enough that you'll get a feel for it as you have just one more go.

    Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
    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.

    Chronos: Before the Ashes
    Chronos: Before the Ashes is an enjoyable enough Souls like with more puzzles than you'd expect from that but its VR roots make it a rather pedestrian affair with rough edges. The ageing mechanic is a great idea, it's just a shame that to experience it fully you have to be really quite bad at the game.

    I, AI
    I, AI is a shoot 'em up with a touch of class to it and one that is easy to get into and play. It doesn't do anything particularly original and it does get a bit repetitive but what it does, it does well.

    Sackboy: A Big Adventure
    Despite being a game with consistent quality and performance, Sackboy: A Big Adventure can’t quite escape being run-of-the-mill when compared to its contemporaries. There is still plenty of that LittleBigPlanet charm to be found throughout this lengthy, platforming campaign though. It’s gorgeous to look at, it’s well-designed and the game feel is just right. However, if you are looking for some of that next-gen innovation on par with Astro’s latest, then you may struggle to find it here.

    More Dark
    More Dark is a tight little puzzler that lacks some punch. Mechanically, it's interesting and really lets you use the most of your tools at the climax. Unfortunately, the presentation is basic and doesn't draw much inspiration. It's a short experience and whilst there are secrets to find, I struggle to find an incentive to do it. If you're in for a decent, short effort to stretch your grey matter, it's alright but it won't live long in the memory.

    Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate
    A gory, glorious celebration of violence with more content than you'll find in any other fighting game. This is the complete package when it comes to Mortal Kombat 11 but, loading times aside, you'll be hard-pressed to see what this version has over its PS4 counterpart.

    Tesla Force
    10Tons do it again with yet another fantastic twin-stick shooter. If blasting a huge horde of demons with more firepower than you've ever seen on screen before sounds like fun, well... that's because it is. Tesla Force is fun. Big, exciting, relentless fun. The shoot 'em up genre taken to the limits and we love it.

    Demon's Souls
    Demon's Souls for PS5 is a stunning remake of the game that kick started a new genre. Some of the mechanics have been improved upon since but the experimental nature of it all creates some incredible highs. Of course it goes without saying that it's gorgeous and makes fantastic use of the PS5's unique features as well.

    Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition
    Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition is a pretty puzzle platformer, perhaps not revolutionary but for an indie game it's a good debut on PS5 from Infuse Studio. We just wish it used the Dualsense functions at all as it feels like a missed opportunity.

    Observer: System Redux
    Observer: System Redux creates a miserable vision of the future that will appeal to sci-fi and horror fans. The game is essentially just an evolved point and clicker but it sucks you in and at the very least does a good job of showing off some clever PS5 tech.

    Bugsnax
    We should have expected nothing less than this level of surrealism from the developers of Octodad: Dadliest Catch. Bugsnax is about as weird as they come. Yet, underneath all the cutesiness, strangeness and edible bugs there is a surprisingly deep, heartfelt storyline with a mystery worth solving.

    JYDGE
    Jydge remains one of the best tactical shoot 'em ups to hit PSN and is as much a joy to play as it was in 2017 but it does little to leverage the power and features of the PS5.

    Warhammer: Chaosbane
    As an unashamed Diablo clone, Warhammer: Chaosbane Slayer Edition fares better than most. The game performs very well on PS5, enjoying the benefits of a high frame rate and resolution while keeping the hordes of Chaos minions coming, however the core of monotonous gameplay and lack of mission variation keeps this from being considered a classic experience. Fans of the Warhammer world may enjoy this and the amount of content on offer. However, those just looking for something to tide them over until Diablo 4 may find Chaosbane lacking in substance.
