Staufway Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Given a choice to pick any PS5 game with PS5 bundle. IYO - what' are the best PS5 games now that makes worth getting a PS5 at this time? Excluding those that have a PS4 version so the likes of Elden Ring, CoD, etc. do not count when you can just get both version buying the PS4 version anyways. All I could think of on a short notice is maybe Demon Souls and Ratchet Clank. But I see the latter has been getting cheaper these days so may not pick that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RNumbers Posted April 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2022 Returnal is pretty awesome. Seems not to go on sale too much from what I've seen either. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EightBitArtist Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 the pickens are slim. demons souls has a ps3 version, so i dunno if that would even count. besides that, ones not mentioned here are astros playroom, destruction allstars, deathloop and ghostwire tokyo. those last two are just timed exclusives too.

Staufway Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 Ah good call on Returnal and Deathloop. Depends on who you ask, IMO DSouls count - can't buy a PS4 version and geta PS5 version of that free ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyleh Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I spent $600 to play Demon's Souls and don't regret it a single bit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astros playroom is free with all ps5. Ghostwire tokyo is pure crap. Character designs for some enemies is cool, everything else is just a long boring grindy collect-a-thon. Demon's Souls is my vote.

TrophyChief Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Demon’s Souls hands down at this time. Graphical showcase with fun combat and boss encounters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Only PS5 ONLY games I've played are Astro's Playroom and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Both were great, but R&C was definitely a treat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mipsy Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I would not gauge a 'best', but I could whittle down to my favorite amongst my four PS5 exclusives: Astro's Playroom Demon's Souls Neptunia Reverse Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Nep's a simple remaster of a Vita title (Rebirth 1) - a great Vita title, but not a competitor for PS5. Astro is packed with great fun and tremendous charm, but it's a too-brief pack-in; Demon's Souls astounds with grandeur and gameplay, but it *is* a remake from PS3; Rivet R&C brings a whirlwind of entertainment and showmanship, but it costs 70 at retail for more or less a one-and-done. Mmm. R&C: Rift Apart, if tallying bonafide newness only; Demon's Souls, if expanded to revisits. ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowReplicant Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Demon's Souls. Quite possibly the best exclusive launch title in PS history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komrade_Dusty Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Demon's Souls is excellent, but also not a PS5 exclusive. Returnal is well-made, but I think probably a bit of a niche audience. Crusader Kings 3 is similar. Great, but niche. Astro's Playroom would be what I would suggest for a general audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're referring to the original PS3 version of Demon's Souls, but I'd argue because it is a full remake (not remaster) from a separate studio and skipped the PS4 generation (so no back compat), it's still considered a PS5 exclusive in every sense.

Ultraxian Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Well the choices for ps5 only games is very very limited. Your choices are Deathloop Astros playroom Returnal Ratchet and clank rift apart Destruction all-stars As every other game is either on ps4/xbox or pc or is just a remake or remaster. I see alot of people say demons souls but they forget the ps5 version is a remake of the ps3 version. And ff7 is a remake ofcourse but the only part that's ps5 exclusive is dlc so that doesn't count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No really relevant. The Remake is PS5 only. Anyway, for me.. Definitely Returnal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a PS5 exclusive that you cannot play on PS4, which is the whole criteria for getting a PS5 / why the OP is even asking to begin with. Or do you tell people to go play OG Resident Evil 2 on the PlayStation because the PS4 game is "just a remake" lol?!

totakos1 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Played 5 of them so far and they are all great games, although I am a huge souls fan I wouldn’t put Demons souls as the best, that would be Deathloop for me! Maybe cause my expectations from dishonored 2 weren’t let’s say that high I was so surprised and in a way amazed! Brilliant game overall! 1: Deathloop 2: Demons souls 3: Returnal 4: Ratchet 5: Astro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDGES Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 "native to PS5" as you define it, which is not the right definition, is a very, very short list of games I've seen Demon's Souls listed, nup, that is a PS3 game too, so it's not a "native to PS5" game my answer to your question is the Matrix Unreal Engine 5 demo, really, that is the only true native PS5 software on the console right now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have a full list of PS5-only games but the list is longer than those 5. Heck, even Monster Energy Supercross 5 is PS5-only.
