As a longtime Castlevania fan, I always felt like DS owners got the best entries in the series. It’s awesome that PlayStation fans finally get a chance to experience those games with the Castlevania Dominus Collection! It includes four fantastic titles – Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, Order of Ecclesia, and Haunted Castle – and there’s so much to explore. Seriously, you can spend hours finding secrets and battling challenging bosses. The pixel art still looks amazing, and I love experimenting with different weapon builds. Plus, the enemy designs are really creative and the maps are a joy to uncover. If you’re into Metroidvanias, you absolutely need to check this collection out – it’s a real gem!

Catherine: Full Body (PS4)

$7.99/£6.99 (-80%)

Catherine: Full Body is a unique and expanded version of Atlus’ original game, blending an interactive story with challenging block puzzles.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a classic turn-based RPG, drawing inspiration from both modern and older games. It tells a mysterious story about a group of travelers who must stop the dangerous Paintress and her ticking clock as they journey across a magical world. The game boasts strong characters, a compelling story, and a great soundtrack, but the combat is truly special. Each character has unique abilities that work well with the team, and the active combat system – featuring quick-time events and dodging/parrying – keeps battles exciting. While not perfect, Clair Obscur is a must-play for RPG fans.

With incredibly simple controls and no spoken or written instructions, Cocoon is an intuitive, unforgettable experience.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled (PS4)

$13.99/£12.24 (-65%)

As a huge fan of the original Crash Team Racing on PlayStation 1, I have to say Nitro-Fueled really delivers! It’s such a fantastic remake, bringing back all the fun of the original with updated graphics and gameplay. I’ve been spending hours drifting around the tracks – the Adventure mode is packed with content, and racing online is a blast. It’s a classic arcade racer at heart – the controls are tight, it’s surprisingly challenging, and there’s so much to unlock. While a few things could have used a bit of a modern update, I honestly think it’s the best kart racing game you can get on PS4.
