Atmospheric, chill indie suggestions

[JagKenobi]

I recently played Solar Ash, Stray, and GRIS and thoroughly enjoyed each of them. Are there any other games out at this time for PS5 that share kind of the same vibe?

If you don't mind them technically being PS4, Journey and ABZU come to mind.

 

Most games published by Annapurna might be up your alley, though I haven't actually played many of them and I'm not sure which all are available on PS4/PS5.  Probably worth looking into though.

EDIT: Maybe LIMBO and Inside, as long as you don't mind the horror vibes and the occasional frustrating puzzle.  Or Firewatch.

You specifically called out PS5, but since so much is cross from PS4, I won't adhere to that too closely. Atmospheric, chill, indie. I'm taking chill to mean in what it demands of the player and less on the subject matter. You may like:

 

- Save Room (short puzzle game) 

- Sayonara Wild Hearts (music "runner") 

- Toem (wander and photograph, was free on Plus recently) 

- Martha is Dead (narrative-driven walking sim, some puzzles, atmospheric af) 

- Hellblade (same as above, some simple combat) 

- The Fall (narrative, sidescrolling puzzle with light platforming) 

- Minit (top-down Zelda-esque puzzley) 

 

There's plenty more out there.

Check out Omno from the January PS+ catalog. I’d also recommend titles like Journey, RiME, Kona, and Sea of Solitude.
