Just got a PS5! Any beginner-friendly tips to improve my gaming skills?

-

I recently received a PS5 for my birthday, which is exciting since I’ve never owned a console before! I’ve only played on one a few times at my uncle’s place when I was a kid, so I’m really starting from scratch. My friends want me to join them in games like Helldivers 2, Marvel Rivals, and Fortnite, but I feel pretty embarrassed by my lack of skills. I’m also eager to improve in single-player games like Devil May Cry (3, 4, and 5), Resident Evil, and The Last of Us. Any advice for an ultra beginner? Please, I really hope you can suggest effective practice methods instead of just saying ‘practice.’

If you’re starting with shooters, dive into story-driven games like The Last of Us series or the Uncharted games. They have a bit more aim assist and will help you build your muscle memory before jumping into competitive stuff like Rivals and Fortnite.

That makes sense! I’ve heard the stories are incredible too.

For Marvel Rivals, consider choosing a character that’s simple to master for online play. This way, you can get right into matches and start learning the game dynamics.

Take your time and don’t stress about getting better too quickly! Gaming skills develop with experience and patience, and you’ll find your groove in no time. Everyone has their own pace, so focus on enjoying the games for now.
