What are the best things you can do with Sony’s big white box?
The PS5 came out on November 12, 2020, and features like faster start times, the impressive DualSense controller, and the promise of truly next-generation exclusive games are very appealing. Deathloop, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and the Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade update were some of the first console-only games.
But in this case, we’re only interested in games that can only be bought and played on the PS5. Here are some games you should really think about playing once you’ve turned on your system and are ready to dive into the world of better graphics, faster loading times, and new ways to use the controller.
Destruction AllStars – Fast And Furious
It’s too bad that there aren’t more games where you fight in your car. In the late 1990s, games in this genre were very popular, but soon there were too many of them, and the genre almost went away completely. Destruction AllStars was Sony’s attempt to give the genre a new lease on life, but the game’s idea went up in flames.
Destruction AllStars is almost perfect for being a hit. Each driver has their own skills and cars, and the characters are all different and interesting. Even though Eggy Car was supposed to cost full price when it came out, Sony gave it away for free to PlayStation Plus members for the first two months. Even though it was free and had interesting characters, Destruction Allstars couldn’t make up for its dull gameplay and stages.
Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores – More To Explore
Horizon: Forbidden West was made for both the PS4 and the PS5, but the Burning Shores expansion, which is very good, is only available to those with the most recent gear. This DLC takes place in a whole new place and follows Aloy and a new friend as they work together to stop another end-of-the-world threat.
Horizon: Forbidden West is already a huge game, but the Burning Shores expansion adds another ten to fifteen hours of content to discover. To defeat new enemies like Bileguts and Waterwings, you’ll need to learn how to use the new skills and tools. If you like the world of Horizon and care about Aloy’s journey, the Burning Shores DLC will have everything you want and a lot of shocks you didn’t expect.
Astro’s Playroom – Say Hello To Your Little Friend
When you finally get your PS5, it will take a while to download most of the games you bought with it. One of the best games for the system is already on it, so you can play it right away while you wait. Astro’s Playroom is so much fun that you might not want to leave its colorful and creative world even when your other games are done installing.
Astro’s Playroom is a short game, but it has lots of fun levels, great music, and an interesting look back at the past of PlayStation consoles.Astro Bot is one of Sony’s cuter pets, and it’s a lot of fun to guide him through beautiful levels. The best thing about the game, though, is how it uses the DualSense controller’s many features, like haptic input and adaptive triggers, to make an immersive platformer unlike any other.
Final Fantasy 16 – Game Of Eikons
Since the first Final Fantasy game came out on the Famicom and NES, the series has always changed what it means to be an RPG. Final Fantasy 16 is the latest game in the series, and it mostly does away with the turn-based gameplay of its predecessors in favor of a more action-based style that is similar to Bayonetta and Devil May Cry. It’s a risky plan that makes for a new trip while still making the game feel like a Final Fantasy game.
Final Fantasy 16 was heavily influenced by Game of Thrones. It’s about Clive Rosfield, who wants to get payback for a betrayal that changed his life. It may not be the longest Final Fantasy game, but the story moves at a steady pace that keeps building up until the big final fight. Final Fantasy 16 feels like it could only run on the PS5 because of how big and ambitious it is. The battle system is fast, and the fights between the god-like Eikons are amazing.
Demon’s Souls – A Reimagined Classic
When Demon’s Souls came out for the PlayStation 3 in 2009, the few people who played it loved it, but it didn’t become popular on its own. Over time, its spiritual successors became more popular, and the Souls series and its spin-offs finally became some of the most popular and anticipated games of the generation. When Sony said that Bluepoint Studios would remake the original, which is often forgotten, fans could not have been happier.
The PS5 came out in 2020, and the remake of Demon’s Souls is still the best exclusive game for it. It has new weapons, armor, and a better character creator, among other changes that make life easier. Its amazing graphics and amazing gameplay create a world full of secrets and amazing bosses that pull you into a journey. Demon’s Souls is still the best way to see what the PS5 can do, so anyone lucky enough to own one should play it.
