God of War: Ragnarok

• Release date: November 9, 2022
• Developer: Santa Monica Studio

Source: Rambler / God of War: Ragnarok Gameplay

God Of War 2018 made quite a stir in the gaming community. Kratos’ story took a new turn, the graphics improved dramatically, and the son of the god of war, Atreus, appeared for the first time. The developers promised that the journey would not end there, and four years later a sequel was released – God of War: Ragnarok .

The events of this game take place a couple of years after the previous part. Already grown up, Atreus wants to learn more about himself and who he really is. And Kratos will have to support his son on this difficult journey and deal with his old enemies: Freya and Odin.

Play

You will set off on a journey through the nine Realms to eventually bring a terrible disaster to Asgard – Ragnarok. In the process, you will meet new characters, meet the blacksmith brothers Sindri and Brok again, get new weapons and play as Atreus.

Demon’s Souls

• Release date: June 11, 2020
• Developer: Bluepoint Games

Source: Overclockers.ru / Demon’s Souls Gameplay

And this game is a remake of 2009’s Demon’s Souls by FromSoftware, known for giving players a fire-fueled experience and forcing them to learn the parry mechanic. Dark Souls , Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Elden Ring along with Demon’s Souls are milestones of hardcore gameplay for the strong-willed.

The game takes place in the kingdom of Boletaria, ruled by King Atlas XII. He used a ritual to summon the powers of souls and turned Boletaria into a prosperous state, but at the same time brought upon it the wrath of a demon and a fog that began to spread across the world.

Play

You will take on the role of a brave warrior who will not be afraid of the fog and will find the lost kingdom. Unfortunately, at the very beginning of the game you will be defeated, but eventually you will wake up as a soul and go to take revenge on your opponents.

Elden Ring

• Release date: February 25, 2022
• Developer: FromSoftware

Source: Rambler / Boss Godric the Hundred-Handed, Elden Ring

And this game was a real breakthrough in its time. In essence, Elden Ring is a classic souls-like RPG. You create a character at the very beginning, and then in shorts and a helmet you go to explore the world, collect equipment and fight bosses of all shapes and sizes.

There is little plot here and it is collected mainly through dialogues and descriptions of objects. Once upon a time, Queen Marika canceled the predestined death, and now the inhabitants of the Betweenlands cannot die on their own. It’s all about the Ring of Elden – a magical object that is a combination of several great runes.

Play

As in other souls-like games, you will find various bosses and minibosses, many difficult battles, a small number of saves and resources. In short, it’s the best if you like to make your life difficult.

Horizon Forbidden West

• Release date: February 18, 2022
• Developer: Guerrilla Games

In 2017, Horizon: Zero Dawn was released , which collected numerous awards for the most original script, visuals, and soundtrack. And in 2022, we got a continuation of Aloy’s story.

Now we’re heading west to find out what happened in another part of America. And it won’t be a safe journey: huge, aggressive machines and tribes of dangerous natives await you ahead.

Play

Half a year passes between the events of the first and second parts of the game. The main role is again played by Aloy, who has an extensive arsenal of weapons and abilities. Also in the new part you can explore the underwater world, where you can’t fight and you will have to rely only on stealth.

Resident Evil 4 Remake 

• Release date: March 23, 2023
• Developer: Capcom

The adventures of special agent Leon Kennedy in a remote Spanish village in search of the president’s daughter – this is how you can briefly describe the plot of the fourth part of Resident Evil . According to players, it is the best episode of the franchise and fans were eagerly awaiting the remake of the 2005 game.

Play

In March 2023, Resident Evil 4 received its remake, which immediately burst to the top of the sales lists. In fact, it is the same game from 2005, but with a list of small changes. For example, Leon’s knife now has durability, but has become much more useful, fewer QTEs, and the range of crafting has been expanded. But the story has not changed, and the beloved characters are still there.

Mortal Kombat 11

• Release date: November 17, 2020 (PS5)
• Developer: NetherRealm Studios

The classics of gaming consoles are the Mortal Kombat series . What could be better than taking a gamepad with a friend, choosing characters and having a real tournament of beating pixels. And with each new part of the series, the fights become more fun and spectacular. Special moves, x-rays, fatalities and much more are improving and changing.

Play

Mortal Kombat 11 tells the story of the goddess Kronika, who decides to use her time manipulation powers to restore order to the universe, including getting rid of Raiden, who interfered with the events of the past.

This becomes quite difficult when Simon Krieger’s company decides to destroy the area to which his family moves. Now Miles will have to not only stop the villain, but also save his area.

Another horror, but already in a space setting – a remake of the cult Dead Space . Improved graphics on the latest version of the Frostbite engine, new sound effects and visualization, reworked gameplay and expanded plot. In short, a find for fans of the 2008 game.

Play

The game will appeal not only to fans of the original series, but also to those who love Alien movies, horror and other scares.

The game’s plot tells us about the de Rune brother and sister, who travel across France in search of a cure for little Hugo’s illness. You play as his older sister, Amicia, who will not only have to confront the soldiers of the Inquisition, but also fight the ubiquitous rats that carry the plague.

Amicia isn’t defenseless: she has a knife for stabbing attacks, a sling for throwing rocks, and a crossbow in case the enemy is armored. You can upgrade your ammo with alchemy to deal more damage or apply effects to enemies. And with Hugo, you can detect nearby enemies, even if they’re hidden behind walls.

Alan Wake 2

• Release date: October 27, 2023
• Developer: Remedy Entertainment

Source: Epic Games Store / Alan Wake II Game

Fans of the first part of the misadventures of Alan Wake waited for a sequel for 13 years. And in October 2023, they finally waited. By the way, according to the plot of the game, 13 years have passed since the disappearance of the writer.

A series of murders occur in Bright Falls, Washington, and the religious group “Cult of the Tree” is blamed for them. An FBI agent and a detective arrive in the city to investigate the incidents. On the body of the fourth victim, they find a page of a manuscript describing the near future. As you might guess, it belongs to the missing Alan Wake, who accidentally gets out of the Dark Abode.

Play

If the developers defined the first part of the game as a psychological action thriller, then the second is a full-fledged survival horror. You will have to play for two characters at once – Alan Wake and FBI agent Saga Anderson. The gameplay is divided into two parallel stories that you can complete in any order. And you will wander around the provincial Bright Falls in reality, and New York in a dark abode.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage

• Release date: October 5, 2023
• Developer: Ubisoft Bordeaux

Source: VK Play / Game Assassin’s Creed Mirage

One of Ubisoft’s everlasting franchises, Assassin’s Creed, also got a new part in 2023. Mirage was originally planned as DLC for the previous part of the series – Assassin’s Creed Valhalla , but in the end we got a full-fledged game that tries to repeat the legacy of the first part, where we still played for Altair… As many players and game journalists have noted, Mirage really paid more attention to stealth, parkour and tracking down victims.

The game takes place in Baghdad in the 9th century, several years before the events of Valhalla. We play as Basim ibn Ishaq and watch him join the Brotherhood of Assassins and become its master. As in other parts, we will have to fight against the Order of the Templars, who want to subjugate the whole world.

Play

The game has good ratings, with an average of 4/5 and 77-80/100. Many enjoy exploring Baghdad and players appreciate the emphasis on stealth, as in the first parts. The downsides include uninteresting side missions.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure

• Release date: November 19, 2020
• Developer: Sumo Digital

Source: Stratege / Sackboy: A Big Adventure Gameplay

Among the family-friendly games on PlayStation 5 , Sackboy: A Big Adventure stands out . It is a 3D platformer that is part of the LittleBigPlanet series. But unlike it, the other games are made in 2D. The platformer’s world is really big, and up to 4 people can play at once.

The plot is simple and designed for audiences of all ages. The insidious villain Vex kidnaps all the inhabitants of Craftworld and forces them to work to build the Chaosinator – a diabolical machine that can turn any world into a terrifying desert filled with nightmares. Knitted knight Sackboy and his friends will have to stand up for the World of Creation and fight back against the evil genius.

Play

The game is made in nice 3D graphics and looks somewhat like Nintendo exclusives like Pikmin and some parts of Mario. It is ideal for family gaming – up to 4 people can play at the same time. You can customize your Sackboy with skins that are unlocked during the game. And owners of a PS Plus subscription will get the game along with it absolutely free.

Baldur’s Gate 3

• Release date: September 6, 2023
• Developer: Larian Studios

Source: Rambler / Game Baldur’s Gate III

It’s impossible not to mention Baldur’s Gate 3 in a selection of the best games on any of the platforms where the project was released. It’s not surprising – BG3 became a real hit and collected awards at the Golden Joystick Awards, The Game Awards, Steam Awards, DICE Awards and a bunch of other awards. It is also expected that it will be nominated for the BAFTA Games Awards and Larian Studios will collect a bunch of awards there as well.

The plot of the third part begins on the ship of the illithids, also known as “mind flayers”. The main hero (or heroine) wakes up in his pod and discovers that a larva has been implanted in his brain, which will sooner or later turn him into the same creature. The character resists, escapes from the ship, saving several other captives along the way, and tries to get rid of the parasite in his head, traveling around the world and meeting other infected.

Play

The gameplay is based on the fifth edition of the Dungeons & Dragons board game. True, all the mathematical calculations are done by the computer for the players. And you will need to calculate your moves and predict how the next battle will turn out for you and whether it is better to go around the enemies by stealth. True, it is quite difficult here, to the point that a burning torch can give you away. And the game also has a luck test in the form of a dice roll. Real D&D on your computer.

Deathloop

• Release date: September 14, 2021
• Developer: Arkane Lyon

Source: Zen / Game Deathloop

What about time loops? It’s a fairly popular technique in literature and cinema, but there aren’t many games with it. And Deathloop is one of the most interesting. It’s an action-adventure shooter in which the main character is stuck in a time loop and forced to live the same day over and over again until he finds a way to get out of the anomaly.

You play as a killer named Colt. You have lost your memory, and you need to eliminate eight targets before midnight to get out of the loop and get your memories back. If you don’t make it, everything will start over. And, as you might have guessed, you won’t succeed just like that, by force, of course. In addition, your main enemy is Julianna, also a killer. Her role can be played by either AI or a second player. If you die at the hands of Julianna, the loop will restart again.

Play

To complete Deathloop, you will have to die more than a dozen times. This is because the events of each day you live are stored in your memory, and you will gradually discover more and more details about your enemies and the island.

Devil May Cry 5

• Release date: November 12, 2020 (PS5)
• Developer: Capcom

Source: Amazingame / Nero from Devil May Cry 5

The fifth part of the Devil May Cry series has been awaited for more than 10 years, because since 2008 there has been no continuation of Nero’s adventures. In 2015, Capcom tried to make a kind of reboot, releasing DmC: Devil May Cry , but the game received mixed reviews from fans, and so far there is no news about its continuation.

In Devil May Cry 5, the main character is once again Nero, Dante’s nephew with a demonic hand. However, at the very beginning of the game, his hand was successfully torn off by an unknown man. As it turned out later, it was none other than Vergil, who simply decided to take a piece of his son for himself.

Play

The plot begins with a battle with Urizen, a super-powerful demon who easily deals with Dante, Trish, Lady and Nero himself. As a result of the battle, Trish and Lady are captured, Dante flies into a coma, and Nero himself escapes, trusting the persuasion of V, a new character in the series. And this whole company will have to somehow stop Urizen and prevent him from destroying humanity.

There are 3 playable characters in the game: Nero himself, Dante, and V. Each of them has their own fighting style. Nero uses a pistol, his sword, and the Devil’s Scourge, a special prosthesis that replaces his hand. Dante can alternate and unlock new weapons, and his arsenal includes a sawed-up motorcycle that can be used to beat demons with both hands. V fights with the help of his familiars and mysteriously reads a book. And traditionally for the series, after completing the story, you can play as Vergil.

EA Sports FC 24

• Release date: September 29, 2023
• Developer: EA Vancouver

Source: Overclockers.ru / EA Sports FC 24 Gameplay

EA Sports FC is the same FIFA, only in profile. The reason for the name change is simple: EA simply ended its contract with the International Football Federation, which means that they cannot sell a football game under the FIFA brand. But they can use the faces of famous athletes in it, as usual.

There is not much to say about the game, because its whole essence is to select a team that is capable of kicking the opponents to the fullest. There is also a card game Ultimate Team, where for the first time in the series there will be a deck not only with male football players, but also with women.

Play

EA Sports FC uses a new version of the HyperMotion Volumetric engine. The developers promise that the players’ movements have become even more realistic and it will be more enjoyable to watch particularly cool moments of matches. And the composition of the leagues has also been updated, for example, Wrexham, Atletico Nacional, Kaizer Chiefs and others have disappeared, but the women’s leagues Frauen-Bundesliga and Liga F have been added.

Helldivers 2

• Release date: February 8, 2024
• Developer: Arrowhead Game Studios

Source: AltChar / Helldivers 2 Gameplay

Another shooter from the selection is Helldivers 2. Here you have to kill enemies with firearms, drop cluster munitions and turrets on them from the air, collect shield generators and supply capsules, and survive in every possible way in a shootout. But remember that friendly fire is allowed in the game, and there may always be saboteurs among you.

You can play Helldivers 2 alone online with other players or create a lobby for four with friends. It is not necessary for them to also launch the shooter from PlayStation 5, because the project supports synchronization with Windows.

Play

Despite the fact that the game does not have a single-player campaign, it still has a plot. The action of Helldivers 2 unfolds 100 years after the events of the first part. The self-proclaimed democracy of “Super-Earth” has won, and now worlds in the universe are actively colonized by people for valuable resources. But not all of them are ready to submit so easily.

Returnal

• Release date: April 30, 2021
• Developer: Housemarque

Source: Rock Paper Shotgun / Returnal Game

This is already a roguelike, which combines elements of a third-person shooter and psychological horror. You control Selena Vassos, a pilot of a spaceship of the ASTRA corporation, stuck on a hostile planet. The heroine got into a time loop, and every time after her death she is resurrected again, but the world changes a little.

According to the plot, Selena refused to obey the order and landed on the surface of the planet Atropos without permission. As a result, the ship was seriously damaged and the communication module is no longer working. Selena goes to explore the planet and each time finds more and more of her own corpses, realizing that she has fallen into a time loop.

Play

In essence, the game is somewhat similar to Deathloop – after each death of the player, the world changes and more details appear that you need to remember to successfully complete it. The project is praised for its atmosphere and audio design, so if you like stories that give you goosebumps, pay attention to Returnal .

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

• Release date: October 20, 2023
• Developer: Insomniac Games

Source: YouTube / Marvel’s Spider Man 2 Game

We already talked about Spider-Man: Miles Morales above — a spin-off of the Spider-Man series dedicated to the “anomaly” of the universe — Miles Morales, who was not supposed to receive superpowers. And now let’s talk about a game where there are two “spiders”: Peter Parker and his successor, the same Miles Morales.

The plot of Spider-Man 2 is dedicated to the events that take place 9 months after the spin-off Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Peter Parker becomes a teacher at the Brooklyn Academy, where Miles studies. On his first working day, a disaster occurs with an attack by Sandman and Peter is fired for abandoning his students. He returns to Aunt May’s house and meets his friend, Harry Osborn, who uses a special black exoskeleton based on the Venom symbiote.

Play

Essentially, it’s a different take on the Spider-Man and Venom story. It features many of the franchise’s famous characters, and has received high marks from critics and players alike. So, we recommend that Spider-Man fans pay attention.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

• Release date: June 11, 2021
• Developer: Insomniac Games

Source: Insomniac Games / Ratchet and Clank from Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

In terms of plot, this is a complete continuation of the game Ratchet & Clank: Nexus, which was released in 2013. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to know the plot of the previous parts, because the adventure in Rift Apart is independent and is not tied to the franchise in any way except for the characters.

Play

The main roles are played by the robot Clank and the Lombax Ratchet. Ratchet wants to find other representatives of his race with the help of the Dimensioner – an artifact that can move the owner to parallel worlds. But due to the battle with Dr. Nefarious, the device fails and tears space, creating a mess in the timelines.

The Talos Principle 2

• Release date: November 2, 2023
• Developer: Devolver Digital

Source: Game Informer / The Talos Principle 2 Game

Portal fans, wake up! Puzzles, futurism and a philosophical plot can be found in The Talos Principle 2. Yes, there are no usual laboratories and portals, but overall the atmosphere is very reminiscent of the classic series from Valve.

According to the plot, you are one of a race of intelligent robots from the city of New Jerusalem. The robot Athena from the first part gained consciousness, founded the city and created other androids, populating the world with them. But one day, Athena disappears, and most of her creations begin to experience a crisis.

Play

But an energy surge on one of the islands prompts the city’s inhabitants to set out on an expedition. You must travel through 12 regions, solve spatial puzzles, and try to find the creator of New Jerusalem.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

• Developer: Square Enix

We welcome those who have understood the Final Fantasy lore , and to the rest, we offer our condolences and good luck. The Final Fantasy franchise will celebrate its fortieth anniversary in a couple of years, but it shows no signs of slowing down. There are currently sixteen parts in it, and the most popular ones are being remade. Final Fantasy VII already has two: Remake and Rebirth, but there will be a third part. However, it is not yet known when.

In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, we leave the chamber locations of Midgar for the open world. You have to travel across three continents in pursuit of Sephiroth, a super soldier who is going to destroy the Planet. You can play for different characters and it is not necessary to go through all the content only for Cloud. So, in some moments it will be more effective to take Barret or Tifa.

Play

Unlike the previous part, Rebirth has become bigger and more dynamic. In addition, it has added various fun side missions like a beach episode or chocobo racing.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

• Release date: April 28, 2023
• Developer: Respawn Entertainment

Source: Tom’s Guide / Cal Kestis from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Another game from a major franchise in our selection is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor . The game continues the events of Fallen Order , and you play as Jedi Cal Kestis, who fights the Empire and plans a trip to the planet Tanalorr. However, to do this, he will have to gather a squad of comrades again.

The game has reworked the combat system and added five different stances to the main character, which can be switched depending on the situation on the battlefield. Now you can not only swing a lightsaber, but also use a blaster, or attach a protective guard to your weapon to better parry enemy attacks, although in return you will sacrifice the hero’s speed.

Play

The game has only one downside: there is a slight frame rate drop during combat. But overall, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor looks good. Players and critics are also delighted: the average rating is 8/10.

Dragon’s Dogma 2

• Release date: March 22, 2024
• Developer: Capcom

Looking for an RPG? We have them. Dragon’s Dogma 2 can be called one of the best representatives of the genre in recent times. According to the plot, once every few centuries the inhabitants of the city are terrorized by a dragon, awakening crowds of monsters. To stop it, you need the Risen – a hero whose heart was once taken by the dragon. But there is a s-i-i-i-nite snag: the chosen one has lost his memory, and power in the city belongs to the impostor.

As you might guess, you become the poor Risen, who must regain his memory and submit to fate, without drowning in palace intrigues. You will have to travel through an open world, where monsters become stronger at night.

Play

Unlike the first part, the developers have added several changes. For example, they expanded the map four times, added unique characters and factions and companions that you can take into your squad.

Rise of the Ronin

• Release date: March 22, 2024
• Developer: Team Ninja

Now we call on all lovers of Japan and its history (no, there are no black samurai here). In the 19th century, the country is threatened by a political crisis. The economy is collapsing, Western influence is growing, and the shogunate has become completely insolent and is repressing the tortured people.

Play

You play as one of the Kurosu twins. They plan to take part in a rebellion to transfer power to the emperor, but their first mission ends in failure. One character falls into the hands of an American commodore, and the other escapes to avoid being caught by the shogunate. As you might guess, the plot of the game is dedicated to the search for a twin and participation in historical events.

Animal Well

• Release date: May 8, 2024
• Developer: Billy Basso, Shared Memory LLC

Yes, it is a pixel metroidvania with horror elements. Such projects are not uncommon in modern game development, but Animal Well is quite an interesting project that is worth paying attention to.

You play as a droplet that travels through a well. You meet different animals in it, but there will be no clues about who you are and how you got there. Everything will remain a mystery. You can explore the locations in any order and the game will not tell you where to go or what to do. There is also no combat system, and the only way to escape is to run and dodge.

Play

There is only one task – to collect four lights. This can be done in a few hours, but due to the ability to explore absolutely everything, the game is addictive and in total you can spend more than a day in it.

Final Fantasy XVI

• Release date: June 22, 2023
• Developer: Square Enix

Source: Kotaku / Final Fantasy XVI Game

We have already talked about the seventh part of “Final Fantasy” above, and now let’s look at the sixteenth. It is a separate project, so it is not necessary to study the lore of the remaining fifteen games, breathe easy.

The protagonist of Final Fantasy XVI is Clive, the crown prince of the kingdom of Rosaria. His family hoped that one day the hero would become a Dominant – a powerful mage who could transform into a creature called Akon. But this power eventually passed to his younger brother – Joshua. Clive accompanies his brother to the fortress “Phoenix Gate”, but the journey turns into a tragedy and the protagonist is forced to embark on the path of revenge.

Play

Overall, the game is a great introduction to the series, especially if you’re not ready to play two FF XVII games and wait for the third. Plus, the plot in this installment is reminiscent of Game of Thrones, and the gameplay is close to God of War and Devil May Cry.

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon

• Developer: FromSoftware Inc.

Source: Bandai Namco / Game Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon

We all know how FromSoftware games make our asses burn. Every time it is a real challenge for the player. At the same time, although Armored Core is not similar in gameplay to Souls-likes, you will still feel a little bit of heat from it.

The game takes place on the planet Rubicon 3. Human civilization has found an energy source there, which it plans to use for its own purposes, but this ultimately leads to a cataclysm and the planet has to be abandoned for some time. After 50 years, people again risked to develop the planet, and you are part of the expedition. In your hands is an armored robot, which will explore Rubicon 3.

Play

And here’s the reason why your tailbone will burn: FromSoftware added battles with different bosses to the game, each with their own abilities and weaknesses. So, have you defeated Malenia? Then it’s time to crush some robots.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

• Release date: January 26, 2024
• Developer: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio

Dame-dame, dameyo… Oh, that’s not from here! But from the same series. Infinite Wealth is a direct sequel to Yakuza: Like a Dragon , which was released in 2024. This time, the game takes place not only in Japan itself, but also in Hawaii. So get your Hawaiian shirts.

The main roles are again played by Kiryu and his friend Kasuga. They recruit new members to their clans and are based in Yokohama and Honolulu. As in other representatives of the JRPG genre, you will find classic turn-based combat. At the same time, you can assign a profession to each character, which works as an analogue of a class and gives different characteristics.

Play

And where would we be without mini-games, this is Yakuza! You can sing karaoke, throw darts, play mahjong or arcade machines. In short, have fun to the fullest.

In this top, we have collected the best games on PS5, highly rated by both critics and players. Don’t forget to look at our other selections if you want to discover something new.
