What PS5 games should I check out as a newbie?

-

Hey, fellow gamers! I just got my PS5 and snagged the PS Plus Deluxe edition during a sale. I’ve been a PC gamer for ages, but this is my first console ever! I’m currently hooked on The Last of Us and loving every minute. I’m on the lookout for more story-driven games from the catalog. I’ve been considering titles like Far Cry and Red Dead Redemption since there’s so much I haven’t experienced yet. What are the must-play games you recommend? Thanks for any tips!

You can’t go wrong with classics like Ratchet and Clank, the entire God of War series, and the Spider-Man games! Other great picks are The Witcher 3, Control, and Ghost of Tsushima. If you like action-adventure, definitely check out Uncharted and Jedi Survivor. Those are just a few to get you started, but there are tons more awesome titles out there!

Don’t miss out on Returnal, Control, and the Yakuza series! They all bring something different to the table and are highly rated by players.

You absolutely need to try out Spider-Man 1 and 2! They’re so fun and really capture the essence of being Spidey. Just a heads-up, it seems like only Miles Morales is available on PS Plus Deluxe right now, but it’s totally worth it!

A couple of must-plays include Days Gone, The Witcher 3, and both of the new God of War titles (and the older ones are in the classics catalogue too). There are tons of hidden gems waiting for you!

Welcome to the console side! Here are my top recommendations:
– Days Gone: an open-world zombie adventure with a gripping story.
– Guardians of the Galaxy: a fun, narrative-driven game with stunning visuals.
– Ghost of Tsushima: my all-time favorite! It’s beautiful and set in a massive open-world samurai setting.
– Shadow of the Colossus is an intriguing choice if you like unique experiences!
