There is certainly admirable ambition in attempting to create a historical action-adventure around such a fascinating period, especially from a small independent production. Unfortunately, ambition alone cannot carry a game when the fundamental systems lack the depth and polish necessary to support it.

Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a charming relic of the early 3D platforming era, packed with exploration, memorable characters and a wonderful sense of discovery. Its dated controls and camera occasionally show their age, but modern PlayStation features make this forgotten Disney adventure much easier to revisit.

Shark Simulator: Ocean RPG Survival keeps things wonderfully simple, letting you swim, hunt, evolve and slowly climb the food chain. It lacks the depth of bigger survival adventures, but its colourful ocean and relaxed arcade gameplay make it an easy game to dip into when you just fancy being a shark for a while.

Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition delivers a breathtaking samurai adventure, featuring a compelling new heroine, a stunning depiction of northern Japan, and combat that remains as satisfying as ever. With Echoes of Sekigahara, Most Wanted and Legends adding further depth, this is a remarkably complete package built around a story that understands revenge is only the beginning of Atsu's journey.

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North – Legacy Edition proves there are still stories worth telling beyond the Fellowship's famous journey. With visceral combat, three distinct heroes, satisfying RPG progression and excellent co-op, this darker corner of Middle-earth makes a welcome return.

Grounded 2 expands the tiny survival adventure into a much bigger world, combining rideable insects, deeper progression and imaginative base-building with the same charm that made the original so special. The Founder's Pack adds stylish extras without compromising the survival experience.

Aery - Surreal World delivers another wonderfully relaxing flight adventure, but its surreal dreamscapes elevate it beyond previous entries in the series. While the gameplay remains deliberately simple, its beautiful environments, smooth controls and tranquil atmosphere create an experience that's easy to lose yourself in.

Mistfall Hunter is a gripping blend of Soulslike combat and high-stakes extraction gameplay that keeps players on edge. Its haunting world, rewarding class system and tense PvPvE encounters create an experience in which every expedition feels dangerous and every successful escape feels like a genuine triumph.

Dinoblade transforms one of gaming's most delightfully absurd concepts into a genuinely entertaining action RPG. Weighty combat, inventive boss fights, rewarding exploration, and a wonderfully confident sense of identity ensure this prehistoric adventure is far more than a novelty.

DragonSword: Awakening sheds its live-service origins to become a heartfelt action RPG filled with colourful exploration, satisfying tag-team combat and rewarding progression. A slow opening and a handful of lingering interface quirks hold it back from greatness, but beneath those issues lies an engaging fantasy adventure that is well worth the journey.
