This is Now.

We trawl over 700 games on PS Now to discover the best of the best on Sony’s streaming service, including iconic releases from PS2, PS3, and PS4

You may have missed it, but over the last year Sony has slowly been adding games to its streaming service, PlayStation Now. It’s gone from being an awkward side-project to a genuine ‘Netflix for games’. In this supplement we’ve played and tested the games PS Now has to offer, and come away with a scorching hot list of must-plays.

This list is different to a classic ‘100 greatest’ lineup as we’ve taken into account the version of a game on the service. We’ve considered whether a game contains all the DLC, is a remaster or original version, and whether all the online features work.

Getting the list down to 100 has been a tough ask, but a fun one. Arguing the case for a PS2 classic over a PS4 newcomer is always fun

LOST LEGACY

Part of the joy of dipping into PlayStation Now is getting the chance to revisit some blockbuster releases and discover how they have held up over time. As a bonus you can play some classic series in their entirety on PS Now. Retreading the blood and thunder of the Killzone series, from the debut entry on PlayStation 2 to the most recent title on PlayStation 4, there’s a clear evolution of the franchise. Culminating, we’d argue, with some outstanding set-piece events in Killzone 3. But that’s up for debate, as is the whole list.

Other series to play include the Kojima-aided reboot of Castlevania, the last-gen Uncharted trilogy, and the Sly Racoon series – have you played them all? Now you can.

Beyond the big hitters PS Now is also a great way to dip into games you’ve overlooked, never wanted to pay full price for, or just missed amid the deluge of games that get released. Did you miss a chance to play quirky platformer Puppeteer or want to see why people love/hate Deadly Premonition? Now you can. They’re all here, and we’ve ranked them.
