15 Best PS5 Games That You Must Try Right Now

Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West have already shaken up the top 10 on our best PS5 games list, indicating that 2022 will be a wonderful year for PS5 games. More lately, Ghostwire: Tokyo was released, which, although entertaining, didn’t quite make the cut for my final list of best PS5 games choices. The same can be said for Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, which is a great feel-good film but not vital.
We’re also debating whether or not to suggest Gran Turismo 7, which was released to critical acclaim but has since been plagued by troubles and controversies, so we’ll examine the game later to determine whether it’s worth highlighting on our list.
Although getting any PS5 stock is still difficult, this collection will only serve to further your desire to get your hands on one. Whether you choose a shot of pure, extra-strength joy from Sackboy: A Big Adventure, a demon challenge from Demon’s Souls, or to feel like a hero in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, you’ll find it all and more on this list of the best PS5 games currently available, which includes a good collection of best PS5 games.
#1 Horizon Forbidden West

Horizon Forbidden West is an assured follow-up. It isn’t reinventing the wheel – it’s just another game about saving the earth from enormous robot dinosaurs – but it doesn’t have to be. Aloy’s narrative is equally as engaging as the first, but with more human themes, intriguing new character additions, and a lot more personality. It also has some of the greatest side quests in the industry right now, as well as even more Robo-saurs. It’s also a remarkable demonstration of PS5’s capabilities.
#2 Spider-Man: Miles Morales

This fresh version of Spider-Man is filled with comic book excitement, passion, and emotion, and lots of that oh so wonderful swinging around New York, both technologically and artistically. As the focus shifts from Peter Parker to Miles Morales, the action shifts as well, with the spotlight shifting to his hometown of Harlem and a whole new set of teen-turned-superhero issues.
Next roundabout, Miles has some new abilities, such as bioelectric venom, and the DualSense’s haptic feedback makes them even more enjoyable to use on crooks and ne’er-do-wells.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales pulls off the difficult feat of telling a tale that hits you in the gut while also being a destination you want to escape to after a long day in the real world. Miles Morales pulls it off so brilliantly, with his charisma and his wonderful swinging, that you’ll wish Peter Parker a happy retirement without shedding a tear.
#3 Deathloop

Deathloop, Arkane’s next game, is another accomplishment, with players breaking open and figuring out a lethal puzzle box. Deathloop, a limited-time PS5 exclusive, is one of those rare games that shock you, playing out differently than any of us imagined.
Spend your time trying to solve the puzzle of how to murder eight people in one day, all of them are moving around the world of Black Reef enjoying their lives – and not just staying there so you can kill them. The more you play and experience the loop, the more you will discover and comprehend this bizarre little world of the time loop.
#4 Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart

For two reasons, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart ranks at the top of our list of the best PS5 games. It’s not just the finest Ratchet and Clank adventure yet, bringing us on an unforgettable voyage with some new companions, but it’s also a tremendous display of what the PS5 can achieve. Doctor Nefarious has stolen the Dimensionator and is tearing holes between dimensions once more.
Ratchet and Clank are separated, blasted across the cosmos in time and space, and recruit the assistance of Rivet, a fellow Lombax, to reassemble the universe. Flying across temporal rifts is completely smooth, with no loading screens to be seen, and the DualSense’s haptic feedback, as well as those adjustable triggers, are masterfully utilized. Ratchet and Clank have never looked, played, or felt better than it does now.
#5 Elden Ring

Elden Ring is another one of those titles where once you’re in, you’re in for the long haul. This is FromSoftware’s greatest game since Dark Souls, and it’s the first time its unique gameplay style has been applied to an open world. It adjusts, refines, and improves the recipe to ensure that suffering in its very unique masochistic way is never enjoyable.
#6 Returnal
Source: Sony
Returnal isn’t a game for everybody, but there’s no disputing how beautifully it showcases the PS5’s technological and graphical powers. This tough roguelike looks – and plays – incredible. It’s all extremely stunning – if a touch dismal at times – whether it’s the tactile feedback delivering Atropos’ rain to your fingertips through the controller or the visual magnificence of neon against a monochromatic environment.
Returnal, like other roguelikes, restarts the cycle after you die, with our heroine Selene trying to find out what’s going on in this distant world. Gain new abilities, uncover new weapons and alien technology, and go through the many biomes to learn more about the loops.
#7 Sackboy: A Big Adventure

A great platformer is full of joys and surprises, as well as an abundance of charm. In Sackboy: A Big Adventure, our titular hero travels to many worlds – imagine forest or seafloor – to disrupt the wicked Vex’s (voiced by Richard E Grant) goals while having a lot of fun. In addition to appearing like a party in a craft store, the game has clever level design, like sticky feet that allow you to climb up walls, music-driven stages, and amusing equipment like boomerangs and grappling hooks.
You may also use the bells you earn throughout the game to purchase various clothing for your Sackboy, ranging from charming tigers to mix-and-match punk witch mountaineers. Every secret area, cunning adversary, and item of fluff in this game has been developed with buckets of love and a cheerful smile, and it shows. It’ll brighten your day, whether you acquire it for your child or your inner child.
#8 Ghost of Tsushima

Even if you’ve already completed the Ghost of Tsushima on PS4, the PS5 version is certainly worth checking out. The PS5 version adds 4K visuals at 60 frames per second, excellent DualSense capabilities, and 3D Audio compatibility.
The new Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island extension, which is a terrific new side-story set in a totally new area, is included in the Director’s Cut. You’ll discover more about hero Jin, make new friends (and opponents), and interact with new side stuff, including cute animals. It has swiftly established itself as one of the top PlayStation 5 games.
#9 Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

With Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the historical murder franchise returns with a bang, putting you in the fur-lined sandals of Viking clan head Eivor. Build a new colony in old England, assassinate kings to form alliances, and loot Mercia’s cities and monasteries with your longship crew.
Because of the multifaceted hero Eivor, the harsh combat, and the variety of customization choices that span everything from your fighting style to your facial tattoo, this will go down as one of the best entries in the Assassin’s Creed franchise.
You may expect some pretty fascinating tangents as you investigate the mysteries of Anglo-Saxon England, strive to placate the pagan gods, and embark on extraordinary dream adventures. There’s a reason the world has been captivated with Vikings since they first began plundering, and Valhalla just adds to our admiration for them.
#10 Hitman 3

Agent 47, the last installment in this arc of the Hitman plot, is the most imaginative in the series to date, allowing you to utilize everything and everything in your assassination operation. It’s a lot of fun, with great level design and locations that take you from Dubai to Dartmoor in the UK in one enormous, homicidal journey.
#11 Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy

Many didn’t believe it was feasible for Eidos Montreal to create its own version of the notorious Marvel space pirates, but it has with Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. You take control of Star-Lord, who is commanding an early version of the Guardians only a few years into their journey together.
They’ve all recently survived a cosmic war in this reality, and Groot, Rocket, Gamora, and Draxx all have their own stories of loss and misery, with virtually alternate history backstories. This single-player adventure is really about learning to work as a team, both in exploration and conflict, and realizing that friendships can be just as tight as relatives.
#12 Death’s Door

Death’s Door is a fantastic mash-up of elements from games like The Legend of Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, and the Metroidvania genre as a whole. You take on the role of a soul-reaping crow entrusted with acquiring some of the most difficult souls to date.
As a result, you’ll be navigating an isometric world full of stunning, weird animals and scenery. This is not one to be missed, featuring boss confrontations that will hex you and stick with you. The graphics are stunning as well, bringing a Studio Ghibli to feel the style and models.
#13 Astro’s Playroom

It’s a no-brainer to dive into this small toy box of technical wizardry, which comes pre-installed on your PS5. Don’t dismiss it simply because it’s free; it’s a fun game in its own right, as well as a terrific opportunity to learn about DualSense’s new adjustable triggers and haptic feedback. Pilot a glider, climb like a monkey, blast ball cannons in space, and fight monsters and treasures, all while enjoying some sly homage to PlayStation history.
Explore to locate artifacts such as UMDs and the original PlayStation, as well as puzzle pieces and coins to use in a gachapon machine. It’s a terrific way to show off the machine’s new technological features while you wait for the next game on your queue to play.
#14 Kena: Bridge of Spirits

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a wonderful little journey that’ll appeal to anyone who likes a solid platformer with layered combat and is fond of anything even somewhat cute. You play as Kena, a spirit guide who has arrived in a community to assist individuals who have become stuck there.
You’ll be helped not only by the spirits themselves, but also by the soot sprite-like Rot, who are not only the cutest gaming companions ever, but also highly handy for solving riddles and performing some deadly fighting skills.
#15 Demon’s Souls
Source: Sony
It’s never looked so nice to die tragically in the grip of a heartless monster. Demon’s Souls, a 2009 cult favorite, has been totally recreated for the 4K era and is one of the best-looking games on the new PlayStation 5. Although the motion capture, graphics, and sounds are all new, the intense action remains true to the original, with the same punishing learning curve and a sense of great accomplishment with each triumph.
