The 7 Best PS5 Games for New Owners

Were you lucky enough to get a PlayStation 5 console this holiday season? Here are the 7 best PS5 games to dive into for new players!

LucasRuinedChildhood124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

Ghostwire: Tokyo is Tango's worst game and doesn't belong on a list like this.

It should probably be replaced with either Returnal, Spider-Man 2, Resident Evil 4, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Cyberpunk 2077/Phantom Liberty, Baldur's Gate 3 or Alan Awake 2. There's too many better choices than Ghostwire than I have the time to list, tbh.

Lexreborn2120d ago

Dang I really enjoyed Ghostwire I even plat it. Didn’t know it was their worse game

shinoff2183123d ago

I'd tell them, horizon forbidden west, ff7 intergrade(much better then ff16), cyberpunk, rift apart, God of War, star ocean 2 remake, and baldurs gate 3.

anast123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

Here let me fix this: Horizon, Rachet, Demon's Souls, Death Stranding, Spider Man 2, God of War, Returnal and GT7.

Also everyone should play BG3 and Cyberpunk, no matter the platform.

Barlos122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

Now this is a list I can get behind! Never played Returnal or Cyberpunk so can't comment on those but the rest of your list is spot on.

RupeeHoarder123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

There are at least 10 games that should be on this list before Ghostwire: Tokyo and Harry Potter.

S2Killinit123d ago

Is this article old? What about Miles Morales and Spiderman 2?

I would personally include Returnal and Final Fantasy 16.

shinoff2183122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

16 over ff7remake ?

S2Killinit122d ago

Didn’t get to play that yet.

Barlos122d ago

Yes. For me I'd say yes. I had far more fun with FF16 than I did with FF7R.

Having said that I'm very much looking forward to Rebirth.

MrNinosan122d ago

FFXVI is included.

My 7 games would be:
God of War Ragnarök
Final Fantasy XVI
Final Fantasy VII Integrade
Spider-Man 2
Horizon Forbidden West
Gran Turismo 7
Returnal

If we'd stick with console exclusives.
If not, replace Returnal with either BG3 or CP2077

The best PS5 exclusives 2024

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?

VersusDMC13d ago

They won't complain about Microsoft not releasing games here but put all their effort into saying that only first party counts. Games like Rebirth and Grandblue Relink don't count. Games published by Sony like Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin don't count because Sony don't own the studios.

It's some narrative building so for when Hellblade 2 come out they can say, seemingly without shame, that Microsoft is actually releasing first party games this year. And claim victory.🙃

Chevalier13d ago

Weird 1st party games didn't matter when Xbox had so little, but, now they're important again? Guess Ark 3, Stalker 2 don't count any more?

KyRo13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

ARK 3 doesn't exist and it's just a timed exclusive. It's also a game that a majority of the ARK player base doesn't want as it's a massive deviation from what people like about the original game

Abnor_Mal13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Honestly to me it doesn’t matter what they say, they are just finally getting a chance to say all the things PS fan(boy)s were saying to them for the past few years. Let them get that, they deserve a “win” for a change.

The new narrative is that suddenly first party games matter again when awhile ago they didn’t, but that was because they were struggling with the same three games with the occasional fourth or fifth. That games should be everywhere on all platforms since that’s whats happening to theirs. The consoles don’t matter just the ability to play anywhere. Whatever Xbox is doing Sony will soon follow.

They’re not moving the goalpost anymore, but rather just moving the whole damn stadium.

jwillj2k413d ago

Only a incel would care about who published what and who owns who.

If it’s not on the other consoles it’s an exclusive.

Killing what? Where are the 1st party games??
Stellar Blade and FF7 is what I’m seeing this year.. so shallow!!!!

andy8513d ago

Doesn't really matter as long as they're great games. Baffles me why people put an emphasis on 1st party. They're still games you can't play anywhere else this year

Cacabunga13d ago

Andy

PS brand is my favorite because of their stellar first party software.. currently I see absolutely nothing to go crazy for..

CS713d ago

Nonsense.

PS1 and PS2 was built on great third party exclusives like FF, MGS, GTA & Tekken.

Of course I love the games I’ve played from PS but I don’t believe we need to limit it to ‘exclusive’ to acknowledge that Xbox will be releasing some good games this year also. In that same vein, I believe that Xbox diehards shouldn’t limit their acknowledgment of good PS games to 1st party. There are plenty of good games to go around for everybody.

Tacoboto13d ago

This is a Playstation article about Playstation games and your comment is about Xbox. Can't you just celebrate what PS has without dragging this into console war BS?

ChasterMies13d ago

I don’t think Microsoft is releasing games exclusively on Xbox anymore. They have some timed exclusives that release on Xbox first.

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.

SonyStyled13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Sony owns the Helldivers IP. The first was a PS3/Vita/PC game. It was never an Xbox game that they could ‘get’ a decade ago. I’m not sure what the upset is with Xbox here

CS713d ago

Lol, how do you ignore Rebirth one of the best games ever made?

anast13d ago

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.

DaniMacYo13d ago

Helldivers 2 is exactly what gaming needed. I’m loving it.
