Father’s Day is fast approaching. Kids everywhere are once again scrambling through their piggy banks, reaching far into the souls of their sneakers and pillaging through the crusty crevices of each couch cushion for hidden treasure… or any coin they can muster. But one question remains, will you buy Dad his dream gift this Father’s Day? or is it another trip to Best & Less for the ol’ Buy 2 get 1 Free Special on Monday to Friday Undies? Well, we’re here to make sure you put a big smile on Dad’s face this year with suggestions, that not only may have Dear old Dad grinning, but a sneaky double-down on a small gift for yourself. Just… don’t tell Mum that.

A Top-Up...
Want to give dad absolute freedom and control over his choices? Well, a simple wallet top-up is your solution.
Available in values of $5, $15, $30, $50 (Recommended) and $100, you can’t go wrong. This allows you to gift that someone a flexible choice of a game, the DLC they’ve been eyeing, or the all new PlayStation Plus Deluxe Subscription ($21.95 p/m AUD).
Best of all, they can use this on PS4, PS5 and PS Vita.
He'll love this...
The sequel to the critically acclaimed multi-award winning action-adventure/horror; The Last of Us Part II see’s the return of an adolescent Ellie, looking for retribution against former Firefly members.
This instant classic follows the events of the 2013 smash hit The Last of Us, Where Joel and Ellie fight for survival against hoards of infected “runners”, that have mutated from human to zombie in the midst of a global pandemic.
If Dad has yet to play its prequel, I would highly suggest picking that up first. But if he’s a fan and has yet to play this incredible title, then it’s a great Father’s Day gift.
Here comes Spider-Dad...
The sequel to 2018’s Marvel’s Spider-Man for PlayStation 4, Miles Morales is the next chapter in the Spider-verse. And for the youngsters, this is a treat; especially those that loved the recently released Animated feature length smash hit, Spider-Man: Enter the Spider-verse.
Miles Morales takes the reigns of our friendly neighbourhood masked vigilante, while Peter takes a quick holiday in Europe (boy, they aren’t living in COVID times). Only, the unexperienced teen has his hands full with a new threat looming over New York City.
Dad of Boy...
Prep Dad for the biggest father/son action-adventure of the year. This is God of War (2018), the latest entry into the esteemed franchise that has dominated the PlayStation platform and is responsible for multiple Game of the Year accolades attached to Sony Santa Monica.
The campaign see’s an older Kratos, widowed after the untimely passing of his wife Faye. Before she passed, she had requested to be cremated and for her ashes to be scattered atop the highest peak of the Nine Realms. This would set the God and his offspring on a tumultuous test for their survival, but growth as father and son. Truly one of the greatest stories ever told in gaming.
Go West...
Dad looking for something a little different? Needing a sense of adventure?
The Sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn, the multi-award winning 2017 PlayStation 4 epic. Horizon Forbidden West continues your adventure through a post-cataclysmic Earth, set in the 31st century where humanity has slightly devolved, with only remains of technological advancement existing within creatures known as “machines” roaming its desolate plains.
Your protagonist Aloy, an abandoned orphan once outcased by her tribe and now heralded hero hopes to discover more of her existence as she travels into hostile territory.
