Who doesn’t love a list? List of lists, everyone loves a list! It’s a bit of a mental run up to the Christmas month of madness even with lockdown being a thing. Some of us don’t have the shiny newness and want something to take our minds off that (some suggestions for that over here) If you still want to make the most of your Black Friday money and have credit on the PSN to burn, then perhaps take a look at these games here? Help yourself to this lovely list of links, games and tasty treats to take away!
If you fancy a fight:
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle – Reviewed over here.
The online is fairly quiet in the UK but the story mode is still superb and survival mode is a blast.
Dragonball FighterZ – Reviewed over here.
The fastest fighters has had a plethora of free updates and the new dojo lessons are brilliant.
Samurai Showdown – Reviewed over here.
Despite the frustrating final boss there’s still a lot of love to be had from the many modes on offer.
Honourable mentions:
Absolver, BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Fighting EX Layer, Furi, Guilty Gear Revelator Xrd 2, Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition, J-Stars Victory Vs+, The King of Fighters XIV, Mortal Kombat X, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm (All of them), Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, Street Fighter V, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Ultra Street Fighter IV & Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late cl-r
If you fancy shooting something:
BioShock The Collection (1, 2 & DLC) – Reviewed over here.
Still holds up very well to this day and if you’ve not played it for a few years it’s worth going back.
Wolfenstein: The New Order – Reviewed over here.
Shooting Nazi scumbags never gets old. A lot of original ideas and a story that’s still engaging.
Honourable mentions:
Alien: Isolation, DOOM, Fallout 4, Star Wars Battlefront, Superhot & Titanfall 2
If you fancy a hack and slash:
Berserk – Band of the hawk – Reviewed over here.
Still one of the most underrated musou style games out there. Berserk is fantastically gory fun.
Fate/EXTELLA LINK – Reviewed over here.
If Berserk is too gory then Fate is the perfect opposite. Incredibly sharp and vivid musou action.
The Princess Guide – Reviewed over here.
The ideal game to sink hours into. Slashing away through monsters and demons.
Honourable mentions:
Alienation, Attack on Titan, Diablo III, Lego Dimensions & Transformers: Devastation
If you fancy a third person action adventure:
Control – Reviewed over here.
Game of the year 2019 on this very site. The Ultimate Edition now includes the extra 2 expansions.
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection – Reviewed over here.
You could go back and play this on PS3 but it’s one of the PS4’s best examples of a tidy port and polish.
Honourable mentions:
Ashen, Batman: Arkham Knight, Bloodborne, Hand of Fate, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Monster Hunter: World, Nier: Automata, Sayonara Wild Hearts, Sonic Forces, Stories: The Path of Destinies & Tearaway Unfolded
If you fancy something like a platformer:
Iconoclasts – Reviewed over here.
Game of the year 2018! Absolutely mind blowing title and fantastic story.
Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap – Reviewed over here.
Still a gorgeous game. The attention to detail in every aspect is simply staggering.
Honourable mentions:
Broforce, Dead Cells, Disney Infinity 3.0, Grow Home, I Am Bread, Journey, OlliOlli, Race the Sun, Sonic Mania, Spelunky 1 & 2, Strider, The Swindle, The Unfinished Swan & Unravel
If you fancy something that isn’t FF7:
Disgaea 1 Complete – Reviewed over here.
Come on. It’s the best Disgaea ever made (so far) Stunning sprites and super deep strategy.
Fairy Tale – Reviewed over here.
Weirdly gripping, I can’t remember the last time I felt compelled to Platinum a PS4 title let alone an RPG.
Trials of Cold Steel 3 – Reviewed over here.
Contrary to its title this doesn’t require any previous experience of the franchise. A really good classic feeling JRPG.
Honourable mentions:
Battle Chasers: Nightwar, Darkest Dungeon, Disgaea 5 Complete, Divinity: Original Sin 1 & 2, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, .hack//G.U. Last Recode, Invisible, Inc., Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix, Minecraft, Moonlighter, No Man’s Sky, Stardew Valley, Torment: Tides of Numenera
If you fancy something different:
Donut County – Reviewed over here.
You can spell a rude word by dropping the o down a hole. Stupidly enjoyable fun that doesn’t overstay its welcome.
Going Under – Reviewed over here.
A different type of Roguelike, with a story that has some sharp writing.
Danganronpa 1-2 Reload – Reviewed over here.
If you fancy a murder mystery and never got around to playing Danganronpa 1 then this is perfect timing!
The Sexy Brutale – Reviewed over here.
Absolute GOTY material. A really uniquely designed adventure that will stay with you.
Songbird Symphony – Reviewed over here.
A happy heartfelt platformer with rhythm music events that melt your heart.

If you fancy something obvious:
Marvel’s Spider-Man – Reviewed over here.
Yes the PS5 is very wow with this title but it’s still incredible on the original hardware it was made for.
The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt – Game of the Year Edition – Reviewed over here.
If you’ve not played it yet then you probably should.
