Action (3655 programs)

Pros: Art direction adapts historical font styles across ten worlds. Playable documentary format links collectibles to in-game historical notes. PS4-exclusive speedrun levels and online time-attack leaderboards. Supports 1080p HD output and Cross-Buy with PlayStation Vita.

Cons: Platforming physics sometimes feel floaty for precision players. Playtime considered short by some players. Limited traditional multiplayer features beyond leaderboards.

Pros: Painterly Celtic art that emphasizes dark-fantasy atmosphere. Eight unique warriors, each with exclusive weapon archetypes. Rescue ('trapped') mechanic adds tactical risk to campaigns. Overworld lets players choose the order of god realms.

Cons: Some players report an occasionally clunky combat feel. Heavy RNG affects character stats and dungeon difficulty. Permadeath or trapped-clan endings can abruptly end long runs.

Pros: Aardman hand-painted, traditionally animated visual style. Local couch multiplayer supporting up to four players. More than 100 physics-based puzzle levels. Includes movie-themed party mini-games featuring Lu-La.

Cons: Modest competitive depth for players seeking intense challenges. Primary focus on local sessions may not suit online-only groups. Longer completion requires finishing over 100 levels.

Pros: Wordless narrative conveyed through music and visuals. Tactile analogue song mechanic enables environmental interaction. Low-poly, neon-infused Nordic-inspired art direction.

Cons: Platforming controls and map navigation can feel clunky. Wordless design may frustrate players wanting explicit guidance. Stealth encounters replace direct combat options.

Pros: Powered suit movement introduces vertical combat options. Pick 13 system enables flexible weapon and perk allocation. Cinematic campaign with high-fidelity performance capture.

Cons: Shift in core combat divided community opinion. Some additional modes require downloadable content. Learning curve for players used to traditional pacing.

Pros: Maintains a steady 60 frames per second on modern consoles. Includes the legendary Cerebral Bore as a memorable, unique weapon. Six large, non-linear quest levels encourage exploration and multi-objective play.

Cons: Multi-objective levels create a steep learning curve for new players. Limited hand-holding can leave objectives unclear without exploration. Multiplayer confined to 'Last Turok Standing' competitive mode.

Pros: Fully destructible environments enable creative paths and cover options. Procedurally generated levels create unique layouts each run. Over four dozen cybernetic perks for deep customization. Local couch co-op supports 2–4 players on PlayStation 4.

Cons: No online multiplayer; limited to local co-op. Visual style is simpler compared to high-budget titles. Roguelite permadeath makes single-run progress temporary.

Pros: Historical importance as an early bullet-hell pioneer. RPG-style leveling that changes ship appearance and firepower. Special mode offers a 14-stage looping structure for long runs. Assist tools like rewind and save/load states lower the entry barrier.

Cons: Reported input latency linked to the emulation engine. Special mode's 14-stage loop demands long play sessions. Smaller player hit-box in Special requires timing adjustment.

Pros: Tactile vehicle interactions create a strong player-machine bond. Hand-painted environments and dynamic camera emphasise scale. Adaptive, award-winning soundtrack that responds to progress. Compact playtime suits short sessions and focused storytelling.

Cons: Main story is short, approximately two to four hours. Puzzles are relatively simple for players seeking complex systems. Strictly single-player; no multiplayer options available.

Pros: Hand-drawn, grim aesthetic that defines the game's tone. Extensive skill tree enabling diverse character specialization. Over 600 weapons, armor pieces, spells, and items to discover. Non-linear, interconnected map rewards exploration and movement mastery.

Cons: No native online multiplayer, only local co-op and PvP. Steep learning curve due to dense mechanics and platforming integration. Sheer item and build volume can overwhelm new players.

Pros: Tactical side-scrolling blends arcade pace with methodical room-by-room decision-making. Short, intense levels encourage repeat attempts and tight runs. Couch and online two-player co-op enable coordinated tactical play. 1980s synth soundtrack complements high-detail pixel art presentation.

Cons: Online multiplayer requires PlayStation Plus for access. Early sessions demand mastering recoil and timed reloads. Refinement-focused design may deter players seeking casual drop-in play.

Pros: Over 100 missions across diverse island environments. Modular weapon crafting with over 300 parts and 100 knives. Four-player local split-screen and online cooperative play. High-quality pixel art and animation by Paul Robertson.

Cons: Mission structure involves backtracking and can feel repetitive. Deep crafting system requires significant time investment. Rank-based progression gates content behind mission requirements.

Pros: Real-time modular ship swapping, physical or digital. Instant transitions from space to surface with no loading screens. Local two-player split-screen cooperative mode. Pilot skill trees and weapon mods encourage experimentation.

Cons: Peripheral-focused design requires controller mounts for tactile use. Some PS5 setups need specific legacy mount adjustments. Physical toy production was discontinued, reducing peripheral value.

Pros: Procedurally generated realms keep exploration feeling fresh. Over fourteen playable classes with on-the-fly switching. Cornerstones provide portable personal bases for building projects.

Cons: Late-stage progression can become repetitive and grindy. PlayStation 5 backward compatibility may change some PS4-specific features.

Pros: Adaptive puzzle scaling for different party sizes. Local and online co-op for up to four players. Distinct 2.5D environments from tombs to birch groves. Three playable heroes with dedicated skill trees.

Cons: Return to 2.5D may disappoint fans of the experimental third entry. Revamped combat includes challenging boss fights. Requires approximately 15GB of storage on PS4.
