VGChartz's Chinh Tran: "In yet another year with dual Battlefield and Call of Duty releases, shooter fans had no shortage of options to choose from. Yet neither of the latest entries in those established franchises find themselves on our shortlist for Best Shooter of 2021. Instead, this year's nominees all brought something different to entertain players.
Turtle Rock Studios released a spiritual successor to the wildly successful Left 4 Dead games, bringing new additions to an already enjoyable core experience. 343 Industries finally released the long-awaited Halo Infinite, proving once and for all that the team there can indeed match Bungie's pedigree. Capcom's Resident Evil Village continued to demonstrate that Resident Evil 7's first-person perspective was the right call for the series, and finally Housemarque released its biggest hit to-date with Returnal."
With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond
PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?
Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.
GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.
But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.
Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.
Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.
I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.
The games for Humble Choice Bundle for the month of April, 2024, have begun to be revealed, and they include Returnal.
Some solid choices but i feel they're late to the party. I'm subscriptioned out like most people.
This made me check out the current month and holy crap it's actually a great bundle. It's unfortunate that Saints Row is among them but the Nioh 2 and Afterimage make it worth it. I think I'll probably grab it and give away Saints Crap.

Returnal for me followed closely by Village.
I can't speak for the rest as I haven't played them but I was blown away with what housemarque brought to the table.
Village was awesome too. I've only ever played & finished Res 7 & now 8 and I was wondering why I hadn't played them earlier to be honest. 2 great games and I'm sure the others were or are in the series too.
Easy win for the Master Chief. Sad however that CoD and BF aren't even in the running this year because of how lackluster and/or broken they are.
All hail the king! 117!
Halo Infinite All the way
