The first game in the Tomb Raider Survivor Trilogy and the best one of all. It's a dynamic action-adventure game about the origins of Lara Croft. The sound design is incredible, the story is gripping, and the character arc is powerful, which is why t...
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition
It's so immersive and fun swinging around New York and beating up bad guys as Spider-Man! It also has a solid story. (Affiliate link)
Marvel's Spider-Man
Originally released on PS4 but is now available on PS5 as well with enhanced graphics. A high-definition remake of the 1997 original, with the same story but new twists. Set entirely in Midgar. I was in it purely for the exciting storyline. (Affiliat...
Final Fantasy VII: Remake
Explore open-world Gotham City as Batman, jumping across rooftops, fighting crime, and driving the Batmobile. Riddler's challenges frustrated me, but sneaking around and defeating enemies helped to blow off steam. (Affiliate link)
Batman: Arkham Knight
I didn't expect to love this game as much as I did. It's a fantastic action role-playing game with a tragic storyline. I ended up playing many times to achieve multiple endings, and the characters were so well written I was emotionally invested. Play...
NieR: Automata
I've never personally played this but I used to watch my brothers play and it looked like lots of fun. It's an epic open-world action-adventure game set in the American Wild West where you play as an outlaw gunslinger.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Another game I watched my brothers play for hours and would occasionally sneak in to play myself. This open-world action game is so popular because it gives players the freedom to do whatever they want in a virtual city, also offering multiplayer thr...

The Last of Us Remastered
While this game certainly isn't a contender for the best storyline, it is one of the top arcade-style fighting games. I used to spend hours playing Tekken 6 on PSP, and Tekken 7's improved graphics and cinematic battles are an exiting upgrade. Not to...
Tekken 7
PS5
Top-rated titles with exciting plots, advanced graphics, and fun gameplay.
An acclaimed story-based RPG with one of the best video game soundtracks. I originally played this on PS4, but the PS5 is well worth it for enhanced graphics - which will drastically improve gameplay considering it's entirely open-world. I love havin...
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition
Easily one of the best video games ever. This is an incredibly action-packed sequel to its PS4 predecessor with a thrilling story and excellent gameplay. I would (albeit unhealthily) play this for hours on end just to continue the storyline. (Affilia...
Marvel's Spider-Man 2
Continues the adventure from the previous game, with a more thrilling storyline and a much larger open-world map to explore. The chocobos are my favourite feature. (Affiliate link)
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
I love this open-world game for casual play as it has continually updated content, fun events, deep lore, challenging enemies, and a range of fun characters to build. Can be played across various platforms, including PlayStation, mobile, and PC.
Genshin Impact
An amazing stylised game with over 100 hours of action-packed gameplay. Persona 5 Royal is an enhanced version of the original, critically acclaimed Japanese role-playing game, containing a similar story experience but with some additional content. I...
Persona 5 Royal
A story-driven role-playing video game set in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy universe. You’ll probably spend at least two hours just getting through the character customisation before you actually start the game, but it’s incredibly detailed and ...
Baldur's Gate 3
A faithful remake of the original with enhanced graphics worthy of its premier status in the gaming community. Start playing for the zombie killing, keep playing for Leon’s hilarious one liners. (Affiliate link)
