Editor’s Choice: Why Astro Bot Rescue Mission is one of the best games of 2018
You need to play Astro Bot Rescue Mission immediately. It’s not just that the titular hero Astro is adorable (he is). It’s not even just because the levels are a marathon of creative platforming experiences (they are). It’s because in a year filled with excellent takes on the virtual reality medium, Japan Studio has expertly threaded the needle to create an insanely fun platformer that will stand as a landmark for what all VR games should aspire...

Top PlayStation developers pick their most anticipated upcoming PS4 games
While we’re spending the holidays happily sinking time into our favourite PS4 games of the past year (or revisiting some classics), we already have an eye on what’s to come for the console. And we’re not the only ones.
Even while they’re busy working on their own projects, our favourite developers are also looking forward to seeing what other studios have been working on. We reached out to ask them what they personally cannot wait to play and why.

Editor’s Choice: Why Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is one of the best games of 2018
In every Assassin’s Creed game, there is a moment where the assassin clambers their way up some high-reaching vista — a tower, a balcony, maybe even a ship’s mast — and briefly focuses their eagle eye on the land below them before bounding forward into a leap of faith.
The thrill is usually in the leap, a reflection of the quick and fluid sneak gameplay that was once the foundation of the series. With Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the thrill is now in...

The best PS4 games of 2018 that you might not have heard of, as chosen by top PlayStation developers
It’s the dilemma we face every single year. Too many great games, so little time. So, need a refresher course in what came out this year? Or just looking for personal recommendations from those that know gaming inside-out? Us too. That’s why we asked a selection of PlayStation developers for their personal recommendations of the lesser-known PS4 games released in 2018.
1. Gorogoa
As chosen by…
“I’ve never played a game like this before. Very original...
Editor’s Choice: Why Tetris Effect is one of 2018’s best games
A rebuild of a 34 year-old puzzle game on a console powerhouse doesn’t scream game of the year, does it? And yet here we are. And rightly so. Tetris Effect is an utterly compelling game for PS4, whether experienced on PS VR or not.
The puzzler’s purity is unquestionably why it’s as playable in 2018 as it was back in 1984. But there’s a coldness to that perfection – it’s as clinical as a chess game or mathematical equation. Tetris Effect reinvigorates...

The most memorable gaming moments of 2018, as chosen by PlayStation developers
Teaching Atreus to hunt in God of War. Partnering with a robo-pal in Astro Bot Rescue Mission. Sharing stories around a campfire in Red Dead Redemption 2. The list of amazing gaming moments goes on and on this year.
We reached out to a selection of PlayStation developers to share their personal favourite gaming moments from 2018. We’d love to hear yours as well in the comments. Be warned though: spoilers ahead!
1. Experiencing ancient Greece in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
“Walking around the Acropolis as if I was living in 431 BC felt incredibly...
Editor’s Choice: Why God of War is one of the best games of 2018
God of War defies hyperbole. Almost every effusive thing you may have heard about Santa Monica Studio’s hit is borne out through gameplay. It’s a study in contrasts. It’s brutal, but sensitive; fast, but methodical; huge and sprawling, but intimate and focused; loud, but quiet.
It is first and foremost a fabulous action game. Experts will love the infinite ways they can approach any given battle. Novices will appreciate that they can smash on R1...

Steep and Portal Knights are your PlayStation Plus games for January
Happy holidays, folks – we hope you’re all having a great break and enjoying some well-earned, seasonally-sanctioned down time.
With 2019 galloping over the horizon, it’s time to look at what the new year has in store – and where better to start than with PS Plus? Let’s dive into January’s line-up, available to download from 1st January.
Steep
Tear your way across the soft white powder of some of the world’s most breath-taking mountain ranges on skis, snowboards, wing suits or paragliders in Ubisoft’s open-world, winter-sports sandbox.

Editor’s Choice: Why Destiny 2: Forsaken is one of the best games of 2018
Destiny has always been about the chase. Whether you’re knocking out a quick 15-minute strike for a daily powerful gear drop or convincing your raid team to make one more attempt at that ultra-rare Exotic drop, Destiny is at its best when that next thing you want is just within reach.
Destiny 2: Forsaken puts the chase front and center with an engaging storyline, a cornucopia of compelling new loot options and a host of Triumphs (more on those in...

Editor’s Choice: Why Marvel’s Spider-Man is one of 2018’s best games
Joyful movement can raise a game’s quality to lofty heights. That’s why it’s so impressive for Marvel’s Spider-Man to swing in and make the core act of traversal a constant wonder. The game is one of 2018’s biggest hits because it layers satisfying combat and a sincere story onto the foundation built by Insomniac’s jubilant web-swinging.
Swinging from webs in Marvel’s Spider-Man is intuitive and freeing. Simply holding the R2-button turns every movement...

Editor’s Choice: Why Dead Cells is one of 2018’s best games
At first glance, Motion Twin’s acclaimed roguelike platformer Dead Cells could be accused of being a little light on content – just a handful of ‘biomes’ and four bosses to master. Yet somehow the plucky French studio turned in 2018’s premier time-sink – a game that grabs you from the get-go and refuses to let go.
In the months since launch it’s become pure gaming comfort food – I cannot put the thing down. So why, given its leanness, has it got...

Editor’s Choice: Why Spyro Reignited Trilogy is one of 2018’s best games
Spyro has charged back into our lives, horns first! PlayStation has a rich history with the lovable purple dragon, and returning to his original adventures is a whimsical homecoming. This remastered trilogy is much more than an upscaled nostalgia trip thanks to how well the timeless formula of the originals has aged.
Spyro the Dragon was a pioneering game in the fledgling years of 3D platformers. Original developer Insomniac Games captivated players...

Vote for your PlayStation Blog Game of the Year 2018
Wow! Did the year 2018 overhear all our praise about last year’s lineup and decide it wouldn’t be bested? From the word “go” this year has delivered an embarrassment of video game riches.
Celeste and Monster Hunter: World kickstarted the cavalcade of hits, and the pace never let up all the way through holiday juggernauts like Red Dead Redemption 2. It was also a tremendous year for PlayStation exclusives, with showstoppers like Marvel’s Spider-Man and God of War setting records for the platform.
So, there are a ton of amazing games to look back...
