Martin Robinson: "Will a hard-edged shooter go on to find the same broad acclaim as Sony's other blockbusters, and how well will the final thing hold together over the course of a full playthrough? I'm not entirely sure of that either, but I do know this. There's never been anything quite like Returnal, a big ticket blockbuster with action that would do Eugene Jarvis proud. I'm itching to go back and play some more."
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.

I'm an Xbox fan, obviously, but I think this looks great. The hate is unwarranted. Silly name? Sure.... The gameplay looks really fun to me. World and creatures look great. The crazy lighting and particles effects are stellar. Enjoy, Sony fans.
How is it ok that doom is full priced but this isn't supposed to be?
If this is over priced then so are all shooters imo
"There's never been anything quite like Returnal, a big ticket blockbuster with action that would do Eugene Jarvis proud."
There is no shortage of people who would argue that a game like Returnal is the same as Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima and other PS exclusives that fall under the broad umbrella of being narrative driven and in 3rd person.
Such an odd take. Dreams, PSVR 2, and the very divisive TLOU2. Sony isn't afraid of taking chances.
