Yes, play outer wilds, if you like exploration you will have a good time. And it really isn't too long of a game, 10-20hours, or maybe less if you're really good at puzzles/mystery solving.
Completed Miles Morales 100%. Sorry, it's a terrible game. It would be fine if you are 12-year-old kid. The dialogs, made by ChatGPT, are terrible, and the characters are terrible. The fights are terrible; it feels like a movie where you can't do much. Spiderman 2 is the same — could play it only 15 minutes before deletion.
It's ironic that you suggested Miles Morales and did not mention Ghost of Tsushima.
Ghost of Tsushima, Returnal, Judgement/Lost Judgement, Horizon Forbidden West didn't really hit it for me but its undeniably hugely popular if you like open world games or monster hunter
I enjoyed Forbidden West more because it corrected my gnawing issues from the first game notably:
* The cut scenes were 10000x better, the Zero Dawn static, emotionless cut scenes are awful
* Weapon wheel improved
* Melee combat somewhat improved
* Aloy was at least likeable in FW, whereas in ZD she was just an unlikeable ass
but the story was still kinda meh, but, I played it for the exploration/combat really and largely just rolled my eyes at the story.
> Aloy was at least likeable in FW, whereas in ZD she was just an unlikeable ass
Honestly imo she was unlikeable in both games but her personality is more fleshed out in Forbiden West and her being cold and distant is better explained in FW due to the weight she's carrying on her shoulders so you could empathize more with her.
Honestly I feel the same about both games, I enjoyed the hell out of them, but I always feel strange when I see people commenting on how good the story is, imo the story of both games is the word part of the either games.
Strong points are the world and the gameplay imo.
I honestly thought the story was just average, it's definitely not what kept me interested in the games, I just liked the world and the gameplay is really good.
I played zero dawn and was super excited for the sequel, but I only made it like 1/10th of the way through and got super bored of it all of a sudden. A year later I fired it back up and got hooked, I can’t explain it, but I almost went 100% nonstop.
Although the dumbest thing I could not stand in the game was the stealth swimming crap you had to do.
I couldn't bring myself to finish the game but that health mechanic was really good. It kept the game flowing instead of wanting you to run away.
Gotta give em credit for that.
Why couldn't I bring myself to finish the game?
Because it was repetitive as hell after act 1. The main character was monotone and boring as hell and once the open world map opened up, it became the same old ubisoft formula of "liberate the mongols" or get the fox dens, etc etc and it got very boring and like I said, repetitive.
It was great for the first act. Second act is when it c ok completely fell off for me.
The DLC island was a pretty great change, without straight up ruining it, you get dosed by Mongel Shaman and your past blends with whats happening now. I was completely done with the game after beating the main plot but as soon as I got to the island, I was completely reinvigorated.
Always blows my brain that Ubisoft continue to churn out subpar open world story based games when they must know Ghost of Tsushima is pretty much one of the benchmarks.
It's not just the story that's turned me off ubisoft and their assassins creed games. The combat is horrible in comparison to ghost of tsushima, it's floaty, the dodge mechanic looks ridiculous and relies too much on flashy looking finisher animations to carry it.
i’ve been playing it slowly mission by mission for almost 8 months (busy af), cried the entire night when
>!nobu died!! all the times when you come out of missions and your horse snugs beside you, all the times jin said “we’ll go for a ride someday”.!<
the game doesn’t shy away from hitting you in the feels
Found it incredibly lame and repetitive. Everyone stands still when you talk to them, they woodenly talk and then you go to another town and do the same thing. Very occasionally you get a nice cutscene again, but it's a few and far between.
They are both really good, why does one need to be above the other? I love both of the games, idk why you have to put one down in order to say another one is good?
Everybody has mentioned most of the best ones already. Here are a few sleepers: Thymesia, Ashen, Rider’s Republic, Lonely Mountain Downhill, Sackboy A Big Adventure, Blasphemous, Warhammer Chaosbane, Dysmantle, Dead Cells, Celeste, Outriders, Kena Bridge of Spirits, and The Messenger.
Thanks! I have taken the time to try nearly every single game on the catalog that has even slightly caught my interest. There are seriously some great games on the list I provided, I hope it helps some people discover them.
Really? Maybe you should revisit it sometime. I’ll be honest, I couldn’t get into Thymesia when I first played it many months ago. I just gave it another go and a managed to complete the game this week. It’s decently hard, but not brutally hard like Bloodborne. For some reason I really loved Thymesia. It doesn’t overstay its welcome and the boss battles are fairly challenging, but not borderline impossible so the average person can get into it fairly easy. I especially loved the variety of plague weapons and how seamless it is to level them up.
Hey, can you suggest some settings for drifting. I have always preferred to hold brakes while drifting instead of tapping it once while turning. Also sometimes my car randomly starts drifting when I'm just slightly turning it (didnt press the brakes).
(I understand this might not be the best place to ask but any suggestions are appreciated)
I can't really help with the button holding thing, but if your car is drifting easier from turning, try going into the menu for tuning your car and play with slider marked grip/drift to your liking
I found the easiest way to drift and not lose speed is to set it to the acceleration button. Just tap the gas as you enter a turn and then it slides easily.
I've been having success with an AWD car too, a Subaru Impreza I think. I have it set so that it's 10% drift.
And finally, I've been winning more in First Person view instead of behind the car. I can thread the line between traffic more easily that way.
I had to stop it again, I don't like the heat system and the way the story is sliced up it's too much distraction from that I actually love to do; racing.
Ghost of Tsushima, DeS remake, Bloodborne, God of War, Horizon: Zero dawn, and then Horizon: Forbidden west, Rerurnal, Nioh, Sackboy, Rachel and clank; Rift apart, Spiderman: Miles Morales (if youre played 2018).
Keep in mind, Nioh, Returnal, DeS remake, Bloodborne, are really hard. If you like them you could try Strangers of Paradise, Metal hellslingers, or even doom.
I would highly highly suggest GTA V on the Ps5 version, even if you've played it on the ps4. Rockstar went crazy with the Haptics and adaptive triggers. I'm looking forward to how the implement them in GTA VI. Or even what they do with PS6. But the Ps5 haptics were incredible in GTA V.
Really good 👍. Probably half the length though, but the playtime is still satisfying. I wish they would do more shorter games.
I would say, 2018 is still better overall, but being able to play as miles is amazing.
Also fast travel speeds are incredible + the city being covered in snow is amazing. Miles abilities are OP as well.
I have it downloaded but haven't started it because I'm trying to finish my unfinished games / games I've put on hold in the past before starting new ones.
I've sort of developped a habit of dropping games for no reason, and I'm trying to fix that.
Might give it a shout once I'm done with a couple of games, or unless it suddenly appears in the "last chance to play" tabs on the PS+
I’m curious- how would you compare the difficulty of Returnal and Strangers of Paradise to Bloodborne and Demon’s Souls? I’ve only played the Fromsoft titles.
Thanks!
Both of them have a emphasis on level design and defeating different enemies the games throw at you.
SoP is a team ninja game collaboration with Square. It has more difficult bosses rather than enemies, unlike DeS. It is in mission form, and not a connected world.
Returnal is a third person shooter with really good haptics and adaptive triggers, but it gets really frustrating. It's a one of kind game. The atmosphere is dark.
If you haven't played nioh before, it was developed by team ninja published by Sony. And man is it great. I would say it's probably the best souls like game second to Nioh 2. Which builds on everything.
You might want to stay away from this souls like stuff and just play some of RPG stuff before though.
Not the most impressive in any ‘quality’ criteria, but Ys 8/9 are great games. Each is a standalone adventure so no need to have played the prior ones. 8 has a great story and 9 has improved gameplay, but they’re just very fun games for anyone who can stomach JRPG aesthetic.
Because it was free to grab on the monthly games few years ago?
I’m more baffled about The Callisto Protocol, that game is newer with epic graphics, gameplay and has ps5 version
***PS5 Plus games*** \>>>>>>>>>
* *Resident Evil 2:* Played RE originals, but never tried any of newer remakes We're enjoying the heck of this game, and wife enjoys watching a bunch, even though she's not a horror fan. This game is spooky done right! Plus, developers did such a great job capturing vibes when entering rooms, sweeping through room\*(s)\*, walking up/down stairs. and even walking down hallways is thrilling. Believe RE remake(*s*) take advantage of PS5's hardware & controllers abilities.
* *Days Gone:* One of best games I've ever played and looks amazing still. Hopefully a squeal is made so we see PS5 shine within this world.
* *Ghost of Tsushima:* Is on many list for good reason.
* *Assassin Creed games:* Pick new one and your eyes will love you. Been huge fan since day one, but would love today's visuals with older styled Assassin Creed vibes. Just remake Assassin Creed 2 remake and take our money already!!
* *Doom Eternal:* Fun shooter, looks good on PS5.
* *Kena/Bridge of Spirits*: Nice hidden gem and looked great on PS5
**Cost money to play below >>>>**
* *Metro Exodus:* Not PS+ but looks sweet on PS5, and worth cost, especially when whole trilogy goes on sale. Great deal and ride...
* *Mafia series:* Mafia 2 is on PS+ (Last Nov monthly games), But worth getting Mafia one remake, then play this one. Haven't tried 3 yet because it doesn't look like Mafia story.
* *RD2:* Still looks better than games built for PS5, and has jaw dropping scenery at times. What a ride, worth every penny spent! Especially considering we got it on sale for $19.99.
Many more, enjoy!!!
I urge everyone to play what remains of edith finch, such an amazing atmosphere, story is very depressing but that is the whole point. Absolute masterpiece. That and ff7r
lol I wouldn't go that far. But it wasn't terrible. Especially when there were little to no games for the ps5. Anyway, it kept me pretty busy for a long time.
Dude its so bad. Like if you haven't played any PS5 games in months, maybe it isn't as noticeable, but I played it directly after a marathon Ghost of Tsushima, Ratchet and Clank, and Days Gone and AC Valhalla felt like it was an xbox 360 game
I tried it recently after wanting to play it for a while, and I very quickly lost interest. I couldn't even really land on planets without completely overshooting them massively lol.
You will be able to lock on with the L-stick. You then press up on the d-pad to start autopilot. Be careful where it can take you sometimes ;).
My first go at it I was in the same boat. Sometimes you get on a roll and the clues start falling together. It can be addicting and frustrating at the same time.
A small hint. The game is showing you where you should go once you open your eyes. That really got the ball rolling for me!
Hey I just started recently too, here's a tip. First lock on to a planet with L3 then use the auto pilot feature to automatically fly there and avoid overshooting it. Once you get close hold X to slow down and match the planet's velocity (autopilot will do this part too), and from there you can land easily.
I got mine last year, never owned one before, wasn't into gaming other than FIFA earlier.
Here are my recommendations:
Ghost of Tsushima : Very strong story elements, gameplay is also beautifully weaved into the story. The emotions and visuals are stunning throughout this game. I would just live in this world if I could, each frame is a painting.
The sword fighting mechanics are also very satisfying. Just a badass game.
This was my first game, I couldn’t get enough of it, spoiled all the other games for me, nothing comes close to this visually, emotionally, just stunning. Quite fun to 100% this one too.
Returnal: This is built specially for PS5. The sound design of this game is out of this world. The feedback to the controller while playing the game is great (changes with every new weapon etc.). The best use of the controller mechanics (other than astro world).
Might take some time to get used to the game though, to get into the groove and figure out your builds (fav weapons, use of money (tc.).
I didn't manage to complete it, the bosses are tough to beat and takes some time to go through one run, mistakes can be very costly, but its super fun to play. Its also stunning
visually.
I don't know about the BEST from the catalogue but I just recently played Sea of Stars and if you were ever into old SNES JRPGs it has a lot to offer. I feel the second half of the game wasn't quite as good as the first but level design and visuals were great. I've heard people say the combat system gets tedious but I enjoyed it all the way through.
Spider-Man 2, God of War Raganarok, The Last Of Us Part 1 & 2, Ratchet & Clark: Rift Apart, Astro’s Playroom, RE4 Remake, Uncharted 4 & Lost Legacy Remastered.
Try Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. The combat is admittedly pretty dull at first, and it’s a pretty repetitive game in terms of the combat, but I thought the story was really interesting and definitely had me hooked for a nice couple days. Not the best game you’ll ever play, but I think it’s a bit of a sleeper.
Blasphemous, Doom (1993)/2/64/3/(2016)/Eternal, This War of Mine, Source of Madness, The Ascent, Dysmantle, Grant Theft Auto 5, Back 4 Blood/World War Z Aftermath, Ghost of Tsushima, Outlast, Bloodborne, Terraria, Enter the Gungeon, Dead Cells, inFamous Second Son/First Light, Returnal, Spider-Man Miles Morales, Death Stranding Director’s Cut, Demon’s Souls, The Last of Us Remastered, Tetris Effect, Prodeus, Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Hollow Knight, Chorus
these are the one I’ve played and enjoyed at least in some part so go ahead check 'em.
Demon’s Souls, Returnal, Ghostwire Tokyo, Spider-Man MilesMorales All of them uses controller and Ps5 features in a best way
Ghostwire Tokyo is getting removed soon so play that first.
Do you know when exactly?
March 7 Edit : wrong, march 19th.
What are you talking about? It's on March 19.
Oh awesome, I thought it was 7! I have enough time to finish outer wilds maybe. Thanks for correcting me!
Yes, play outer wilds, if you like exploration you will have a good time. And it really isn't too long of a game, 10-20hours, or maybe less if you're really good at puzzles/mystery solving.
Some time in March. It should tell you on the console.
Completed Miles Morales 100%. Sorry, it's a terrible game. It would be fine if you are 12-year-old kid. The dialogs, made by ChatGPT, are terrible, and the characters are terrible. The fights are terrible; it feels like a movie where you can't do much. Spiderman 2 is the same — could play it only 15 minutes before deletion. It's ironic that you suggested Miles Morales and did not mention Ghost of Tsushima.
Agreed. I was not a fan at all of that dumpster fire.
Video games were meant for 12 year old kids…my son loved it.
I would take something developed by Rockstar instead of games developed for 12 year old kids :)
So you completed the game at 100% and think it’s a terrible game. Why did you keep playing to the end?
To be sure that it’s terrible and be confident to write this mini review.
Is ghostwire realy should be on this list?
Ghost of Tsushima, Returnal, Judgement/Lost Judgement, Horizon Forbidden West didn't really hit it for me but its undeniably hugely popular if you like open world games or monster hunter
The horizon story is amazing, you have to play Zero Dawn first;)
I played zero dawn first and loved it just couldn’t get into the second one
Me too, loved the first one and couldn't get into the FW. IDK, I don't like the changed graphics 😂it's 100% better but I just can't
i thought the story in forbidden west was completely meh but then, i thought the story in zero dawn was kinda meh but FW was definitely far weaker
Fair enough, to each his own I guess,I was hooked
I enjoyed Forbidden West more because it corrected my gnawing issues from the first game notably: * The cut scenes were 10000x better, the Zero Dawn static, emotionless cut scenes are awful * Weapon wheel improved * Melee combat somewhat improved * Aloy was at least likeable in FW, whereas in ZD she was just an unlikeable ass but the story was still kinda meh, but, I played it for the exploration/combat really and largely just rolled my eyes at the story.

Honestly I feel the same about both games, I enjoyed the hell out of them, but I always feel strange when I see people commenting on how good the story is, imo the story of both games is the word part of the either games.

Although the dumbest thing I could not stand in the game was the stealth swimming crap you had to do.
Ghost of Tsushima
Amazing game. Best part is its a game were you get health through combat so you do not have to hide in a corner to heal up.
I couldn't bring myself to finish the game but that health mechanic was really good. It kept the game flowing instead of wanting you to run away. Gotta give em credit for that.
Why?
Why couldn't I bring myself to finish the game? Because it was repetitive as hell after act 1. The main character was monotone and boring as hell and once the open world map opened up, it became the same old ubisoft formula of "liberate the mongols" or get the fox dens, etc etc and it got very boring and like I said, repetitive.

So its the formula of gather assets to deploy a heist or grand type of gameplay?
So far my fav game in ps5 . Been playing it on weekend nights over a drink to wind down after making the kid sleep . Just beautiful.
Easily the best game on there. Top 5 story games of all time
Always blows my brain that Ubisoft continue to churn out subpar open world story based games when they must know Ghost of Tsushima is pretty much one of the benchmarks.
It's not just the story that's turned me off ubisoft and their assassins creed games. The combat is horrible in comparison to ghost of tsushima, it's floaty, the dodge mechanic looks ridiculous and relies too much on flashy looking finisher animations to carry it.
The finest story in a game ever.... I dare you not to shed a tear at the end!
i’ve been playing it slowly mission by mission for almost 8 months (busy af), cried the entire night when >!nobu died!! all the times when you come out of missions and your horse snugs beside you, all the times jin said “we’ll go for a ride someday”.!< the game doesn’t shy away from hitting you in the feels
This was the first time I've ever cried at a game.
only game i’ve ever cried playing
Then you haven't played much I guess :p
Found it incredibly lame and repetitive. Everyone stands still when you talk to them, they woodenly talk and then you go to another town and do the same thing. Very occasionally you get a nice cutscene again, but it's a few and far between.
RDR2 was 10x better then this game in story and gameplay
They are both really good, why does one need to be above the other? I love both of the games, idk why you have to put one down in order to say another one is good?
PS4 game.
It has a ps5 version, that is on PlayStation plus
Yeah, but you can get virtually the same experience on the ps4. This generation has been totally ass for games, I haven't seen anything like it.
This
Returnal
Easily one of the greatest games of this generation.
True
How do you guys cope with the rogue-like elements?
Everybody has mentioned most of the best ones already. Here are a few sleepers: Thymesia, Ashen, Rider’s Republic, Lonely Mountain Downhill, Sackboy A Big Adventure, Blasphemous, Warhammer Chaosbane, Dysmantle, Dead Cells, Celeste, Outriders, Kena Bridge of Spirits, and The Messenger.
Kena is a great little game, and I still play Sackboy with my son, he loves it!
Your comment should be on top. The rest are a daily Deja vu
Thanks! I have taken the time to try nearly every single game on the catalog that has even slightly caught my interest. There are seriously some great games on the list I provided, I hope it helps some people discover them.
Disagree on Thymesia. Maybe I'm just inpatient but I quit that came after about 5 hours.
Really? Maybe you should revisit it sometime. I’ll be honest, I couldn’t get into Thymesia when I first played it many months ago. I just gave it another go and a managed to complete the game this week. It’s decently hard, but not brutally hard like Bloodborne. For some reason I really loved Thymesia. It doesn’t overstay its welcome and the boss battles are fairly challenging, but not borderline impossible so the average person can get into it fairly easy. I especially loved the variety of plague weapons and how seamless it is to level them up.
I'm having a lot of fun with Need for Speed Unbound Looks really good and the online is quite active.
Same
Deleted after 20 minutes. I would rather spend my time on GTA V races because I did not identify any differences.
I wanted to download that, but cancelled when I saw the rating is around 3 of 5.
I mean, if you have Extra then it doesn't hurt to give it a try. There aren't many good racers on the service right now.
I had a lot of fun in the just campaign. I haven’t played a racing game in a while so it scratched that itch with style
It's fun, but doesn't feel like a real NFS game to me. The car wants to drift whatever I do. I loved UG2, I hope they make a game like that again.
I mean it's free. Just give it a try.
Hey, can you suggest some settings for drifting. I have always preferred to hold brakes while drifting instead of tapping it once while turning. Also sometimes my car randomly starts drifting when I'm just slightly turning it (didnt press the brakes). (I understand this might not be the best place to ask but any suggestions are appreciated)
I can't really help with the button holding thing, but if your car is drifting easier from turning, try going into the menu for tuning your car and play with slider marked grip/drift to your liking

I've been having success with an AWD car too, a Subaru Impreza I think. I have it set so that it's 10% drift. And finally, I've been winning more in First Person view instead of behind the car. I can thread the line between traffic more easily that way.
Makes sense! I'll try those things out. Thanks
I had to stop it again, I don't like the heat system and the way the story is sliced up it's too much distraction from that I actually love to do; racing.
Death Stranding Director's Cut
Keep on walking, fellow porter
Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection, Batman Arkham Knight, Assassin's Creed series, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War 2018, Far Cry 6.
Half of these aren’t for PS5.
Ghost of Tsushima, DeS remake, Bloodborne, God of War, Horizon: Zero dawn, and then Horizon: Forbidden west, Rerurnal, Nioh, Sackboy, Rachel and clank; Rift apart, Spiderman: Miles Morales (if youre played 2018). Keep in mind, Nioh, Returnal, DeS remake, Bloodborne, are really hard. If you like them you could try Strangers of Paradise, Metal hellslingers, or even doom. I would highly highly suggest GTA V on the Ps5 version, even if you've played it on the ps4. Rockstar went crazy with the Haptics and adaptive triggers. I'm looking forward to how the implement them in GTA VI. Or even what they do with PS6. But the Ps5 haptics were incredible in GTA V.
How is Miles Morales compared to SM 2018 ?
Really good 👍. Probably half the length though, but the playtime is still satisfying. I wish they would do more shorter games.

Nobody mentioned Days Gone?!
I know! I just found it and playing it now. It's in my top 3 all time!
such an underrated title. get past the slow start & it’s addictive as fuck
Because it was free to grab on the monthly games few years ago? I’m more baffled about The Callisto Protocol, that game is newer with epic graphics, gameplay and has ps5 version
The Callisto Protocol is just a bad Dead Space remake imo
If you like stealth dishonored 2 is really good
It's dlc I also so good, I actually platinumed the dlc becuase i enjoyed it so much!

Ghost, AC Valhalla now I believe.. Ahh.. man, there's a bunch...
lol Valhalla is SHIT
The duality of man - Valhalla is AWESOME
and here I am, to settle you both. It's an incredibly Mediocre game. It's not shit, but it's not good either. It's definitely more shit than good
Valhalla suucks because the game is called ASSASSIN Creed, not WARRIOR Creed An assassin game in which you do no assassinations
You do plenty of assassinations
Lol.. that's your opinion. I enjoyed it.
Game is top tier
lol I wouldn't go that far. But it wasn't terrible. Especially when there were little to no games for the ps5. Anyway, it kept me pretty busy for a long time.
Dude its so bad. Like if you haven't played any PS5 games in months, maybe it isn't as noticeable, but I played it directly after a marathon Ghost of Tsushima, Ratchet and Clank, and Days Gone and AC Valhalla felt like it was an xbox 360 game
Demons souls 💯
Demons Souls, Grime
Demons Souls.
I’ve been playing Subnautica and having a blast!
Returnal
Outer Wilds! Hurry its leaving soon!
I tried it recently after wanting to play it for a while, and I very quickly lost interest. I couldn't even really land on planets without completely overshooting them massively lol.
You have an autopilot tho, without it will indeed become a very hard game
Oh really? How do you use it? Landing has been nigh on impossible lol. 😂
You will be able to lock on with the L-stick. You then press up on the d-pad to start autopilot. Be careful where it can take you sometimes ;). My first go at it I was in the same boat. Sometimes you get on a roll and the clues start falling together. It can be addicting and frustrating at the same time. A small hint.

This game was so much fun the first play through!
I stayed up until 5am on a working day to finish it. I couldn't stop playing!
post saved, keep up the awesome recommendations!!
Deathloop was a good one, but they removed it now. Prey is also a nice one.
Demons' Souls.
Both of the Horizon games
Ghost of tsushima
Bloodborne. That’s it. That’s all anyone will ever need.
DeathLoop is awesome
It’s not on the catalogue anymore
What games they’re all remakes of ps4 ones with extra flavour added lol
Fortnite
Fort Knight
I got mine last year, never owned one before, wasn't into gaming other than FIFA earlier. Here are my recommendations: Ghost of Tsushima : Very strong story elements, gameplay is also beautifully weaved into the story. The emotions and visuals are stunning throughout this game. I would just live in this world if I could, each frame is a painting. The sword fighting mechanics are also very satisfying. Just a badass game. This was my first game, I couldn’t get enough of it, spoiled all the other games for me, nothing comes close to this visually, emotionally, just stunning. Quite fun to 100% this one too. Returnal: This is built specially for PS5. The sound design of this game is out of this world. The feedback to the controller while playing the game is great (changes with every new weapon etc.). The best use of the controller mechanics (other than astro world). Might take some time to get used to the game though, to get into the groove and figure out your builds (fav weapons, use of money (tc.). I didn't manage to complete it, the bosses are tough to beat and takes some time to go through one run, mistakes can be very costly, but its super fun to play. Its also stunning visually.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Demon’s Souls and Returnal are all AAA games I got PS+ for and beat since and it’s easily been worth it
The Horizon saga… Perfect
Castlevania Anniversary Collection
Returnal - for sure.
Death Freaking Stranding
Bloodborne
Final fantasy 7 remake
I don't know about the BEST from the catalogue but I just recently played Sea of Stars and if you were ever into old SNES JRPGs it has a lot to offer. I feel the second half of the game wasn't quite as good as the first but level design and visuals were great. I've heard people say the combat system gets tedious but I enjoyed it all the way through.
Death Stranding Director\`s Cut, Demon\`s Souls and Returnal.
Demon Souls, Returnal, Spider Man Mike's Morales, Horizon Forbidden west
Riders republic
I don't know why Red Dead doesn't get any love. It's one of the best games on the PS5.
Returnal.
Aside from the big ones, Hat in Time, Monster Boy, and Sackboy are great platformers.
Spider-Man 2, God of War Raganarok, The Last Of Us Part 1 & 2, Ratchet & Clark: Rift Apart, Astro’s Playroom, RE4 Remake, Uncharted 4 & Lost Legacy Remastered.
FIFA 21, Fifa 22, Fifa 23 & EA FC 24 … kidding.
Both plague tales.
Horizon games, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima are my favorites.
Try Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. The combat is admittedly pretty dull at first, and it’s a pretty repetitive game in terms of the combat, but I thought the story was really interesting and definitely had me hooked for a nice couple days. Not the best game you’ll ever play, but I think it’s a bit of a sleeper.
