PlayStation Now: 15 Massively Underrated Games You Must Play

8. Overlord: Raising Hell & Overlord 2

I'm grouping together another two here, as both Overlord games are outstandingly fun and charming hack n' slashers mixed with just enough puzzle elements to keep things fresh. Casting you as a Sauron-looking Overlord who'd like nothing better than to torch the world to cinders, you do so by essentially commanding your hundreds of minions to do your bidding, one area at a time.
There's a very Fable-meets-Despicable Me tone to everything that - although you're doing everything from slaughtering baby seals to burning down villages - keeps it all light and enjoyable. The aforementioned puzzle elements come through parts of the levels being tied to specific colours your Minions exhibit. This also dictates their behaviour in the field, and it's by mixing all these things together (with the occasional enjoyable boss fight) that really makes Overlord shine.
